Significance The two pepper genomes together with 20 resequencing accessions, including 3 accessions that are classified as semiwild/wild, provide a better understanding of the evolution, domestication, and divergence various species ultimately, will enhance future genetic improvement this important worldwide crop.
DNA methylation promotes transcription generally represses transcription, but in some instances, it has also been implicated activation. Harris et al. identified a protein complex Arabidopsis that is recruited to chromatin by methylation. This specifically activated the of genes are already mildly transcribed had no effect on transcriptionally silent such as transposable elements. The thereby counteracts repression caused transposon insertion neighboring while leaving transposons silent....
Significance Plant SUVH family H3K9 methyltransferases play a key role in connecting the two epigenetic silencing marks, DNA methylation and H3K9me2. However, regulation of protein activities their precise remains unclear. In this research, we performed comprehensive investigation into structure, biochemistry, vivo targeting characteristics histone methyltransferases. For binding methylated DNA, reveal that proteins possess unique thumb loop-dependent base-flipping mechanism....
Rationale: We found that a subset of signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT3) translocated into mitochondria in phagocytes, including macrophages isolated from individuals with sepsis. However, the role mitochondrial STAT3 remains unclear. Method: To investigate function vivo, we generated inducible knock-in mice. A cytokine array analysis, CBA flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining quantification metabolic analyses vivo were subsequently performed an LPS-induced sepsis...
A change in precipitation can profoundly the structure of soil microbial communities, especially arid and semi-arid areas which are limited by moisture conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to explore how bacterial community composition diversity will respond variation precipitation. Here we conducted a control experiment simulate reducing increasing rainfall 25%, 50%, 75% alpine grasslands northern Tibet. The composition, diversity, species interaction network were studied high-throughput...
Dynamic cantilever magnetometry (DCM) is a highly sensitive technique for detecting magnetization in individual low-dimensional magnetic materials, superconductors, and magnetotactic bacteria. However, existing instruments use three-dimensional positioning stage to focus the laser on cantilever, resulting bulky probe head, ∼100 mm diameter, which limits their widespread small-aperture commercial magnets. Here, we develop autofocus using materials with specific thermal expansion coefficients,...
Abstract Background Xanthophylls, oxygenated derivatives of carotenes, play critical roles in photosynthetic apparatus cyanobacteria, algae, and higher plants. Although the xanthophylls biosynthetic pathway algae is largely unknown, it particular interest because they have a very complicated evolutionary history. Carotenoid hydroxylase (CHY) an important protein that plays essential biosynthesis. With availability 18 sequenced algal genomes, we performed comprehensive comparative analysis...
As the link between plants and soils, rhizosphere soil microorganisms play an important role in element cycle. This study aimed to understand response of microbial community structure interaction network grassland utilization alpine steppe northern Tibet Plateau. High-throughput sequencing was employed composition, diversity, species communities under grazing, mowing, enclosing treatments. Proteobacteria (47.19%) Actinobacteria (42.20%) were dominant bacteria soil. There no significant...
Macrophages possess the hallmark feature of plasticity, allowing them to undergo a dynamic transition between M1 and M2 polarized phenotypes. The aim present study was screen for differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) that were associated with BALB/c murine macrophage polarization. transcription profiles three samples obtained using microarray analysis. Based on threshold fold‑change >2.0 P‑value <0.05, total 1,253 DEGs identified, which 696 upregulated 557 downregulated in macrophages...
Grafting as a crucial horticultural technique has been widely used in the cultivation of Carya cathayensis (Chinese hickory), which is unique and important economic tree northeast Zhejiang Province south Anhui Province. However, existing literature lacks research on potential impact various rootstocks thermal tolerance Chinese hickory. The objectives this study were to evaluate heat four distinct groups hickory, including C. grafted onto hunanensis illinoinensis, one self-grafted group (C....
Recently, grafting has been used to improve abiotic stress resistance in crops. Here, using watermelon ‘Zaojia 8424’ (Citrullus lanatus) as scions, three different gourds (Lagenaria siceraria, 0526, 2505, and 1226) rootstocks, non-grafted plants controls (different were abbreviated 1226, 8424), the effect of cold on various physiological molecular parameters was investigated. The results demonstrate that improved tolerance gourd-grafted associated with higher chlorophyll proline content,...
The effects of simulated acid rain (SAR) on the photosynthetic performance subtropical coniferous species have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we treated two species, Pinus massoniana (PM) and Cunninghamia lanceolata (CL), with four gradients SAR then analyzed their activities through measurements gas exchange, prompt fluorescence (PF), delayed (DF), modulated reflection at 820 nm (MR820). Gas exchange analysis indicated that decrease in net rate (Pn) PM CL was unrelated to...
Stress induced by ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation stimulates the accumulation of various secondary metabolites in plants. Nitric oxide (NO) serves as an important messenger UV-B stress-induced signal transduction pathways. NO can be synthesized plants either enzymatic catalysis or inorganic nitrogen pathway. The effects on production baicalin and associated molecular pathways plant cells are poorly understood. In this study, nitric synthase (NOS) activity, release generation were...
The effects of simulated acid rain (SAR) on the photosynthetic performance subtropical coniferous species have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we treated two species, Pinus massoniana (PM) and Cunninghamia lanceolata (CL), with SAR then analyzed activities via simultaneous measurement prompt fluorescence(PF), delayed fluorescence(DF), modulated reflection at 820 nm(MR820). Following low-pH treatment, I–P phase OJIP curves PM CL decreased significantly K-band L-band were...
