How horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has contributed to the evolution of animals and plants remains a major puzzle. Despite recent progress, defining overall scale pattern HGT events in land been largely elusive. In this study, we performed systematic analyses for acquired genes different plant groups throughout evolution. We found that relatively occurred charophytes all groups, but their frequency declined rapidly seed plants. Two episodes evolution, corresponding early streptophytes origin...
Polyphenolic compounds have shown promising neuroprotective properties, making them a valuable resource for identifying prospective drug candidates to treat several neurological disorders (NDs).Numerous studies reported that polyphenols can disrupt the nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB) pathway by inhibiting phosphorylation or ubiquitination of signaling molecules, which further prevents degradation IκB.Additionally, they prevent NF-κB translocation nucleus and pro-inflammatory cytokine...
Major physiological and developmental innovations, such as stress tolerance three-dimensional growth, are key to land plant adaptation evolution, but their genetic basis remains be fully understood. Although lipocalins known for role optimize development in animals, they heavily understudied plants. Here we show that the moss Physcomitrium patens versatile regulators some processes. Phylogenetics analyses revealed three major groups of lipocalins, including a newly identified group is...
Strigolactones (SLs) are not only phytohormones that influence multiple aspects of plant growth and development, but also signaling molecules for interactions between plants certain fungi or bacteria. In plants, the SL receptor is an α/β-hydrolase (ABH) encoded by D14/KAI2 gene family, which known to be derived from proteobacterial RsbQ through horizontal transfer (HGT). Here we show CpD14-like (CDL) encodes another ABH exhibiting functions in fungi, was acquired actinobacteria via...
Abstract Touch induces marked morphological changes in plants, including reduced rosette diameters and delayed flowering, a process called thigmomorphogenesis. Previous studies have revealed that thigmomorphogenesis Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) results from touch-induced accumulation of jasmonic acid (JA) GIBBERELLIN 2-OXIDASE7 (GA2ox7) transcripts, which encode gibberellin (GA) catabolism enzyme, leading to levels active GAs. However, the mechanisms underlying remain uncharacterized....
Although fungal association has been instrumental to the evolution of land plants, how genes origin might have contributed major plant innovations remains unclear. In a recent study, we showed that macro2 domain-containing gene likely acquired from mycorrhiza-like fungi is important in gametophore development mosses, suggesting role fungi-derived three-dimensional growth plants.
The phytohormone jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is well-known as the key signaling molecule that elicits plant defense responses after insect herbivory. Oxidation, which catalyzed by cytochrome P450s of CYP94 family, thought to be one main catabolic pathways JA-Ile. In this study, we identified four CYP94B3 homologues in wild tobacco Nicotiana attenuata. Individually silencing revealed NaCYP94B3 like-1 and like-2, but not like-3 like-4, are involved C-12-hydroxylation Simultaneously three...
Abstract Plant colonization of land has been intimately associated with mycorrhizae or mycorrhizae-like fungi. Despite the pivotal role fungi in plant adaptation, it remains unclear whether and how gene acquisition following fungal interaction might have affected development plants. Here we report a macro2 domain bryophytes that is likely derived from Mucoromycota, group includes some found earliest Experimental transcriptomic evidence suggests this moss Physcomitrella patens , PpMACRO2...
The moss Physcomitrium patens is crucial for studying plant development and evolution. Although the P. genome includes genes acquired from bacteria, fungi viruses, functions evolutionary significance of these remain largely unclear. Killer protein 4 (KP4) a toxin secreted by phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis that inhibits growth sensitive target strains blocking their calcium uptake. Here, we show KP4 in mosses were through at least three independent events horizontal gene transfer. Two...
Despite decades of efforts in genome sequencing and functional characterization, some important protein families remain poorly understood. In this study, we report the classification, evolution, functions largely uncharacterized AIM24 family plants, including identification a novel subfamily. We show that two subfamilies (AIM24-A AIM24-B) are commonly distributed major plant groups. These not only have modest sequence similarities different gene structures but also independent bacterial...
