Retrotransposons are the main components of eukaryotic genomes, representing up to 80% some large plant genomes. These mobile elements transpose via a “copy and paste” mechanism, thus increasing their copy number while active. Their accumulation is now accepted as factor genome size increase in higher eukaryotes, besides polyploidy. However, dynamics this process poorly understood. In study, we show that Oryza australiensis , wild relative Asian cultivated rice O. sativa has undergone recent...
Abstract Cpf1, a type V CRISPR effector, recognizes thymidine-rich protospacer-adjacent motif and induces cohesive double-stranded breaks at the target site guided by single RNA (crRNA). Here we show that Cpf1 can be used as tool for DNA-free editing of plant genomes. We describe delivery recombinant proteins with in vitro transcribed or chemically synthesized target-specific crRNAs into protoplasts isolated from soybean wild tobacco. Designed are unique do not have similar sequences (≤3...
Rice was chosen as a model organism for genome sequencing because of its economic importance, small size, and syntenic relationship with other cereal species. We have constructed bacterial artificial chromosome fingerprint-based physical map the rice to facilitate whole-genome rice.

In all eukaryotic cells, a membrane-trafficking system connects the post-Golgi organelles, such as trans-Golgi network (TGN), endosomes, vacuoles, and plasma membrane. This complex plays critical roles in several higher-order functions multicellular organisms. The TGN, one of important organelles for protein transport network, sorting station, where cargo proteins are directed to appropriate compartments. Unlike its animal yeast TGN has also been reported function like early endosomal...
Adaptor protein (AP) complexes are the predominant coat proteins of membrane vesicles in post-Golgi trafficking mammalian cells. Each AP complex contains a specific medium subunit, μ-adaptin, that selects cargo bearing sequence-specific sorting motifs. Much less is known about and their μ subunits plants. Because uncertain homology, μ-adaptins Arabidopsis have been designated muA through muD [Happel et al. (2004) Plant J 37(5):678–693]. Furthermore, only has assigned to complex, AP-3,...
The genes that encode the ethylene biosynthesis enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase (ACO) are thought to be involved in flower senescence. Hence, we investigated whether transcript levels of PhACO (PhACO1, PhACO3 and PhACO4) Petunia cv. Mirage Rose associated with production at different flowering stages. High were detected late stage linked high levels. PhACO1 was subsequently edited using CRISPR/Cas9 system, its role investigated. PhACO1-edited T0 mutant lines, regardless type...
We suggest an easy one-step underwater plasma method to generate nanoporous N-doped TiO2(N-TiO2) photocatalysts with high reactivity in the visible light range. The extreme energy input of this technology allowed synthesis, crystallization, doping, and porosity TiO2 by inducing continuous reaction highly energetic atomic molecular species within a few minutes. produced N-TiO2 demonstrated anatase-brookite polycrystalline structure substitutionally doped N atoms. doping led narrow bandgap,...
The small nanoparticle size and long-chain ligands in colloidal metal halide perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) cause charge confinement, which impedes exciton dissociation carrier extraction PeQD solar cells, so they have low short-circuit current density Jsc , further increases their power conversion efficiency (PCE). Here, a re-assembling process (RP) is developed for nanocrystalline (PeNC) films made of nanocrystals to increase PeNC cells. RP crystallite eliminates ligands, thereby...
