Abstract Artificially improving traits of cultivated alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.), one the most important forage crops, is challenging due to lack a reference genome and an efficient editing protocol, which mainly result from its autotetraploidy self-incompatibility. Here, we generate allele-aware chromosome-level assembly for consisting 32 allelic chromosomes by integrating high-fidelity single-molecule sequencing Hi-C data. We further establish CRISPR/Cas9-based protocol on basis this...
Abstract Plant-specific WOX family transcription factors play important roles ranging from embryogenesis to lateral organ development. The WOX1 factors, which belong the modern clade of family, are known regulate outgrowth leaf blade specifically in mediolateral axis; however, role compound development remains unknown. Phylogenetic analysis whole tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) indicates that there 10 members represent modern, intermediate, and ancient clades. Using phylogenetic a reverse...
Summary Male sterility is an important tool for plant breeding and hybrid seed production. Male‐sterile mutants are largely due to abnormal development of either the sporophytic or gametophytic anther tissues. Tapetum, a key tissue, provides nutrients pollen development, its delayed degeneration induces abortion. Numerous bHLH proteins have been documented participate in tapetum angiosperms, but relatively little attention has given evolution involved developmental pathways across phylogeny...
The size of leaf and seed organs, determined by the interplay cell proliferation expansion, is closely related to final yield quality forage crops. Yet cellular molecular mechanisms underlying organ modulation remain poorly understood, especially in legumes. Here, MINI ORGAN1 (MIO1), which encodes an F-box protein SMALL LEAF AND BUSHY1 (SLB1) recently reported control lateral branching Medicago truncatula, was identified as a key regulator size. We show that loss-of-function MIO1/SLB1...
Abstract The milestone of compound leaf development is the generation separate leaflet primordia during early stages, which involves two linked but distinct morphogenetic events: initiation and boundary establishment for separation. Although some progress in understanding regulatory pathways each event have been made, it unclear how they are intrinsically coordinated. Here, we identify PINNATE-LIKE PENTAFOLIATA2 (PINNA2) gene encoding a newly identified GRAS transcription factor Medicago...
Optimizing plant architecture is an efficient approach for breeders to increase crop yields, and phytohormones such as gibberellins (GAs) play important role in controlling growth. Medicago truncatula a model legume species, but the molecular mechanisms underlying its are largely unknown. In this study, we examined tobacco retrotransposon Tnt1-tagged mutant collection of M. identified dwarf increased branching 1 (dib1), which exhibited extreme dwarfism numbers lateral branches. By analysis...
ARGONAUTE 1 (AGO1) proteins can recruit small RNAs to regulate gene expression, involving several growth and development processes in Arabidopsis. Rice genome contains four AGO1 genes, OsAGO1a OsAGO1d. However, the regulatory functions rice of each are still unknown.We obtained overexpression RNAi transgenic lines OsAGO1 gene. only up- down-regulation OsAGO1b caused multiple abnormal phenotypic changes rice, indicating that is key player organ compared with other three OsAGO1s. qRT-PCR...
The mechanism of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) thermotolerance has been the focus intensive research for many years because plant growth and tuber yield are highly sensitive to heat stress. However, linkage between aerial belowground parts plants in response high temperatures is not clear. To disentangle this issue, heat-resistant cultivar Dian187 (D187) heat-sensitive Qingshu 9 (Qs9) were independently exposed high-temperature (30 °C) conditions using a special incubator. results indicated...
Introduction Heterologous grafting has been proven to be a valid approach improving potato fertility, especially when potatoes with other Solanaceae family plants. However, the mechanisms underlying grafting-induced improvement in fertility are still unknown. Methods In this study, poor-fertility cultivar “Qingshu No. 9” (Q9) was grafted tomato “Zhongyan988” (ZY988) study effects of heterologous former. The tuber yield controlled by different and cultivation approaches, correlation between...
