Paenibacillus is a large genus of Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic, endospore-forming bacteria. The currently comprises more than 150 named species, approximately 20 which have nitrogen-fixation ability. N2-fixing strains potential uses as bacterial fertilizer in agriculture. In this study, 179 were isolated by using nitrogen-free medium after heating at 85 °C for 10 min from 69 soil samples collected different plant rhizospheres areas. Of the strains, 25 had nifH gene encoding Fe...
Abstract Terpene trilactones (TTLs) are important secondary metabolites in ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba); however, their biosynthesis gene regulatory network remains unclear. Here, we isolated a G. biloba ethylene response factor 4 (GbERF4) involved TTL synthesis. Overexpression of GbERF4 tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) significantly increased terpenoid content and upregulated the expression key enzyme genes (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase [HMGR], 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase...
Tea, second only to water in consumption, is rich nutrients. Selenium, a crucial trace element, has unclear relationships with other substances tea leaves. This study analyzed five white teas, measuring selenium, minerals, and various chemical components. The results showed that there were significant differences the elemental characteristics among these tea. Correlation analysis low-level selenium might have synergistic effect iron, magnesium potassium, while correlations between elements...
Zanthoxylum armatum DC. is an important economic tree species. Prickle a type of trichome with special morphology, and there are lot prickles on the leaves Z. armatum, which seriously restricts development industry. In this study, cv. Zhuye (ZY) its budding variety 'Rongchangwuci' (WC) (A less prickly mutant variety) at different developmental stages were used as materials, transcriptome sequencing data analyzed. A total 96,931 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified among samples,...
Abstract Background Ginkgo biloba , a typical dioecious plant, is traditional medicinal plant widely planted. However, it has long juvenile period, which severely affected the breeding and cultivation of superior ginkgo varieties. Results In order to clarify complex mechanism sexual differentiation in G. strobili. Here, total 3293 miRNAs were identified buds strobili including 1085 known 2208 novel using three sequencing approaches transcriptome, small RNA, degradome. Comparative...
Ginkgo biloba is widely planted, and the extracts of leaves contain flavonoids, terpene esters other medicinal active ingredients. WRKY proteins are a large transcription factor family in plants, which play an important role regulation plant secondary metabolism development, as well response to biotic abiotic stress. In our study, we identified 40 genes with conserved motifs G. genome classified into groups I (groups I-N -C), II IIa, b, c, d, e), III, include 12, 26, 2 GbWRKY genes,...
As a traditional spicy condiment, Zanthoxylum armatum var. novemfolius is of high economical and medicinal value. Despite the long history human cultivation, molecular mechanisms underlying flower development are still poorly understood in Z. armatum. In this study, we performed de novo transcriptome assembly comparative analysis female male flowers A total 94,771 unigenes were obtained, 50,605 successfully annotated against public database. Transcriptome data showed that 20,431...
Abstract Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum armatum DC) is a popular spice and often prescribed in traditional Chinese medicine to treat vomiting, diarrhea, ascariasis eczema, among other conditions. Volatile oils from Z. leaves contain active ingredients, with terpenoids being one of the main components. In present study, combination sequencing data PacBio single molecule real time (SMRT) Illumina RNA (RNA-Seq) platforms facilitated an understanding gene regulatory network terpenoid biosynthesis...
Abstract 4‐Coumarate‐CoA ligase ( 4CL ) gene plays vital roles in plant growth and development, especially the regulation of lignin metabolism flavonoid synthesis. To investigate potential function biosynthesis Ginkgo biloba , this study identified two genes, Gb4CL1 Gb4CL2 from G. genome. Based on phylogenetic tree analysis, protein were classified into Class I, which has been confirmed to be involved biosynthesis. Therefore, it can inferred that these genes may also participate metabolism....
Abstract Flavonoids are crucial medicinal active ingredients in Ginkgo biloba L. However, the effect of protein post-translational modifications on flavonoid biosynthesis remains poorly explored. Lysine acetylation, a reversible modification, plays role metabolic regulation. This study aims to investigate potential acetylation G. biosynthesis. Through comprehensive analysis transcriptomes, metabolomes, proteomes and acetylated proteins different tissues, total 11,788 lysine sites were...
The WD40 transcription factor family is a superfamily found in eukaryotes and implicated regulating growth development. In this study, 167 genes are identified the Ginkgo biloba genome. They divided into 5 clusters 16 subfamilies based on difference analysis of phylogenetic tree domain structures. distribution chromosomes, gene structures, motifs analyzed. Promoter shows that five GbWD40 promoters contain MYB binding site participating regulation flavonoid metabolism, suggesting these may...
Ginkgo biloba has edible, medicinal, and ornamental value. However, the long juvenile phase prevents development of G. industry, there are few reports on identification functional analysis genes regulating flowering time biloba. EMBRYONIC FLOWER 2 (EMF), an important protein in flower development, functions to promote vegetative growth repress flowering. In this study, a novel EMF gene (GbEMF2) was cloned characterized from GbEMF2 contains 2,193 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 730 amino...
Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS), an isopentenyl transferase, catalyzes the condensation reaction of five carbon pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl (DMAPP) to form fifteen farnesyl (FPP), which is key precursor for sesquiterpene biosynthesis. In this study, a FPPS gene (CnFPPS) was cloned from Chamaemelum nobile. The full-length cDNA CnFPPS 1239 bp contains open reading frame (ORF) 1029 encoding 342 amino acids. theoretical molecular weight pI protein are 39.38 kDa 5.59, respectively....
