Brassinosteroid (BR) signaling leads to the nuclear accumulation of BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1 (BZR1) transcription factor, which plays dual roles in activating or repressing expression thousands genes. BZR1 represses gene by recruiting histone deacetylases, but how it activates BR-induced genes remains unclear. Here, we show that BR reshapes genome-wide chromatin accessibility landscape, increasing and reducing BR-repressed Arabidopsis. physically interacts with BRAHMA-associated SWI/SNF...
Although the genetic basis for endosperm development in maize (Zea mays) has been well studied, mechanism coordinating grain filling with increasing kernel size remains elusive. Here, we report that increased was selected during modern breeding and identify a novel DELLA-like transcriptional regulator, ZmGRAS11, which positively regulates weight maize. We find Opaque2, core transcription factor zein protein starch accumulation, transactivates expression of ZmGRAS11. Our data suggest...
Protoplast transient expression-based RNA-sequencing identifies Opaque2 targets supported by molecular evidence and expression quantitative trait loci.
Mitochondrial function relies on the assembly of electron transport chain complexes, which requires coordination between proteins encoded by mitochondrion and those nucleus. Here, we cloned a maize (Zea mays) cytochrome c maturation FN stabilizer1 (CNS1) found it encodes pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein. Members PPR family are widely distributed in plants associated with RNA metabolism organelles. P-type play essential roles stabilizing 3'-end mitochondria; whether similar process...
Abstract The brassinosteroid (BR) hormone is a central modulator of plant growth, development, and responses to stresses by activating or repressing the expression thousands genes through transcription factor BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1 (BZR1) its homologues. However, molecular mechanism that determines transcriptional activation versus repression activity BZR1 remains largely unclear. Here, we show BZR1-responsive at loci requires Switch defective/sucrose non-fermentable...
