Abstract Oilseed crops are used to produce vegetable oil. Sesame ( Sesamum indicum ), an oilseed crop grown worldwide, has high oil content and a small diploid genome, but the genetic basis of production quality is unclear. Here we sequence 705 diverse sesame varieties construct haplotype map genome de novo assemble two representative identify variations. We investigate 56 agronomic traits in four environments 549 associated loci. Examination major loci identifies 46 candidate causative...

Plants have evolved and adapted to different environments. Dwarfism is an adaptive trait of plants that helps them avoid high-energy costs under unfavourable conditions. The role gibberellin (GA) in plant development has been well established. Several dehydration-responsive element-binding proteins (DREBs) identified reported be induced abiotic biotic stress A tomato DREB gene named SlDREB, which a transcription factor was cloned from cultivated M82, found play negative architecture enhances...

Previous works have demonstrated that ligninolytic enzymes mediated effective degradation of lignin wastes. The degrading ability greatly relied on the interactions with lignin. Ligninolytic mainly contain laccase (Lac), peroxidase (LiP) and manganese (MnP). In present study, binding modes to Lac, LiP MnP were systematically determined, respectively. Robustness these was further verified by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Residues GLU460, PRO346 SER113 in residues ARG43, ALA180 ASP183...

Abstract Nucleotide sugar transport across Golgi membranes is essential for the luminal biosynthesis of glycan structures. Here we identify GDP-fucose transporter 1 (GFT1), an Arabidopsis nucleotide that translocates GDP- L -fucose into lumen. Using proteo-liposome-based assays, show GFT preferentially transports over other sugars in vitro , while GFT1 -silenced plants are almost devoid cell wall-derived xyloglucan and rhamnogalacturonan II. Furthermore, these lines display reduced content N...

WRKY transcription factors play crucial roles in regulation mechanism leading to the adaption of plants complex environment. In this study, AhWRKY family was comprehensively analyzed using bioinformatic approaches combination with transcriptome sequencing data drought-tolerant peanut variety 'L422'. A total 158 genes were identified and named according their distribution on chromosomes. Based structural features phylogenetic analysis proteins, members classified into three (3) groups, which...

Golgi-localized nucleotide sugar transporters (NSTs) are considered essential for the biosynthesis of wall polysaccharides and glycoproteins based on their characteristic transport a large number sugars to Golgi lumen. The lack NST mutants in plants has prevented evaluation this hypothesis plants. A previously undescribed mutant, brittle culm14 ( bc14 ), displays reduced mechanical strength caused by decreased cellulose content altered structure, exhibits abnormalities plant development....

Drought is one of the major abiotic stress factors limiting peanut production. It causes loss pod yield during formation stage. Here, previously identified drought-tolerant cultivar, “L422” peanut, was stressed by drought (35 ± 5%) at stage for 5, 7, and 9 days. To analyze effects on we conducted physiological transcriptome analysis in leaves under well-watered (CK1, CK2, CK3) drought-stress conditions (T1, T2, T3). By analysis, 3,586, 6,730, 8,054 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were...

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a grain legume crop that originated from South America and now grown around the world. growth habit affects variety's adaptability, planting patterns, mechanized harvesting, disease resistance, yield. The objective of this study was to map quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with peanut habit-related traits by combining genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) bulked segregant sequencing (BSA-seq) methods.GWAS performed 17,223 single nucleotide...

Abstract The predominant structure of the hemicellulose xyloglucan (XyG) found in cell walls dicots is a fucogalactoXyG with an XXXG core motif, whereas Poaceae (grasses and cereals), XyG less xylosylated (XXGGn motif) lacks fucosyl residues. However, specialized tissues rice (Oryza sativa) also contain fucogalactoXyG. Orthologous genes biosynthetic machinery Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) are present genome. Expression these genes, including fucosyl-, galactosyl-, acetyltransferases,...

Plant growth habit is an important and complex agronomic trait associated with yield, disease resistance, mechanized harvesting in peanuts. There are at least two distinct habits (erect prostrate) several intermediate forms existing the peanut germplasm. A recombinant inbred line population containing 188 individuals was developed from a cross of "Jihua 5" "M130" for genetically dissecting architecture habit. new high-density genetic linkage map constructed by using specific locus amplified...

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), a typical short-day plant, is sensitive to photoperiod, which limits the geographical range for its cultivation. In flowering pathway regulated by E1, inhibitor in soybean, plays dominant role time regulation. Two E1 homologs, E1-like-a (E1La) and E1-like-b (E1Lb), play overlapping or redundant roles conjunction with E1. present study, E1La/b were simultaneously silenced via RNA interference (RNAi) Zigongdongdou (ZGDD), an extremely late-flowering soybean...
