Completion of genome sequences for the diploid Setaria italica reveals features C4 photosynthesis that could enable improvement polyploid biofuel crop switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). The genetic basis biotechnologically relevant traits, including drought tolerance, photosynthetic efficiency and flowering control, is also highlighted. We generated a high-quality reference sequence foxtail millet (Setaria italica). ∼400-Mb assembly covers ∼80% >95% gene space. was anchored to 992-locus map...
F-box proteins constitute a large family in eukaryotes and are characterized by conserved motif (approximately 40 amino acids). As components of the Skp1p-cullin-F-box complex, critical for controlled degradation cellular proteins. We have identified 687 potential rice (Oryza sativa), model monocotyledonous plant, reiterative database search. Computational analysis revealed presence several other functional domains, including leucine-rich repeats, kelch associated domain, domain unknown...
Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food fuel security1 global crop productivity2-4. Although molecular adaptive breeding strategies can buffer the effects of climatic stress improve resilience5, these approaches require sufficient knowledge genes that underlie productivity adaptation6-knowledge has been limited to a small number well-studied model systems. Here we present assembly annotation large complex genome polyploid bioenergy switchgrass (Panicum...
Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm, a transient tissue that nourishes the embryo, exhibits extensive localized DNA demethylation on maternally inherited chromosomes. Demethylation mediates parent-of-origin–specific (imprinted) gene expression but is apparently unnecessary for accumulation of biased small RNA (sRNA) molecules detected in seeds. Endosperm distantly related monocots rice and maize likewise locally hypomethylated, whether this hypomethylation generally parent-of-origin specific...
Abstract Background In flowering plants, the anther is site of male gametophyte development. Two major events in development germline are meiosis and asymmetric division that gives rise to vegetative generative cells, following mitotic cell produces two sperm cells. Anther transcriptomes have been analyzed many plant species at progressive stages by using microarray sequence-by synthesis-technologies identify genes regulate Here we report a comprehensive analysis rice four distinct stages,...
Abstract To adapt to climate change and ensure food security, major interventions are required transform current patterns practices of production, distribution consumption. The scientific community has an essential role play in informing concurrent, strategic investments establish climate-resilient agricultural production systems, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, make efficient use resources, develop low-waste supply chains, adequate nutrition, encourage healthy eating choices a global...
Wall-associated kinases comprise a sub-family of receptor-like that function in plant growth and stress responses. Previous studies have shown the rice wall-associated kinase, OsWAK25, interacts with diverse set proteins associated both biotic abiotic Here, we show wounding BTH treatments induce OsWAK25 transcript expression rice. We generated overexpression lines these exhibit lesion mimic phenotype enhanced NH1 (NPR1 homolog 1), OsPAL2, PBZ1 PR10. Furthermore, resistance to hemibiotrophic...
DNA methylation affects important developmental processes in both plants and animals. The process of cytosines at C-5 is catalysed by methyltransferases (MTases), which are highly conserved, structurally functionally, eukaryotes. In this study, we identified characterized cytosine MTase genes that activated with the onset reproductive development rice. rice genome (Oryza sativa L. subsp. japonica) encodes a total 10 contain conserved catalytic domain. These have been categorized into...
Rice MADS29 has recently been reported to cause programmed cell death of maternal tissues, the nucellus, and nucellar projection during early stages seed development. However, analyses involving OsMADS29 protein expression domains characterization gain-of-function knockdown phenotypes revealed novel aspects its function in maintaining hormone homeostasis, which may have a role development embryo plastid differentiation starch filling endosperm cells. The transcripts accumulated high levels...
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a perennial C4 grass with the potential to become major bioenergy crop. To help realize this potential, set of RNA-based resources were developed. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) generated from two tetraploid switchgrass genotypes, Alamo AP13 and Summer VS16. Over 11.5 million high-quality ESTs 454 sequencing technology, an additional 169 079 Sanger sequences obtained 5' 3' ends 93 312 clones normalized, full-length-enriched cDNA libraries. VS16 assembled...
The perennial grass, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), is a promising bioenergy crop and the target of whole genome sequencing. We constructed two bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries from AP13 clone to gain insight into structure organization, initiate functional comparative genomic studies, assist with assembly. Together representing 16 haploid equivalents switchgrass, each library comprises 101,376 clones average insert sizes 144 (HindIII-generated) 110 kb (BstYI-generated). A...
Oilseed mustard, Brassica juncea, exhibits high levels of genetic variability for salinity tolerance. To obtain the global view transcriptome and investigate molecular basis tolerance in a salt-tolerant variety CS52 B. we performed sequencing control salt-stressed seedlings. De novo assembly 184 million high-quality paired-end reads yielded 42,327 unique transcripts longer than 300 bp with RPKM ≥1. When compared non-redundant proteins, could annotate 67% unigenes obtained our study. Based on...
The lipolytic effects of growth hormone (GH) have been known for half a century and play an important physiological role substrate metabolism during fasting. In addition, sustained GH-induced lipolysis is causally linked to insulin resistance. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. present study, we obtained experimental data in human subjects used adipose-derived stromal vascular cells (hADSCs) as model system elucidate GH-triggered signaling that stimulates adipose...
