Brassinosteroids (BRs) are essential for many biological processes in plants, however, little is known about their roles early fruit development. To address this, BR levels were manipulated through the application of exogenous BRs (24-epibrassinolide, EBR) or a biosynthesis inhibitor (brassinazole, Brz) and effects on development, cell division, expression cyclin cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) genes examined two cucumber cultivars that differ parthenocarpic capacity. The EBR induced growth...
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are involved in the regulation of plant growth, development and stress responses. While signalling pathways for BR-regulated growth well studied, mechanisms by which BRs regulate tolerance remain largely unclear. Here we showed that 24-epibrassinolide (EBR), induced to oxidative heat tomato, was also capable elevating transcript levels RBOH1, MPK1 MPK2, increasing apoplastic H2 O2 accumulation, enhancing activation MPK1/2. Virus-induced gene silencing MPK1, MPK2 MPK1/2...
Abstract The classification of the economically important genus Prunus L. sensu lato ( s.l .) is controversial due to high levels convergent or parallel evolution morphological characters. In present study, phylogenetic analyses fifteen main segregates . represented by eighty‐four species were conducted with maximum parsimony and Bayesian approaches using twelve chloroplast regions atpB‐rbcL , matK ndhF psbA‐trnH rbcL rpL16 rpoC1 rps16 trnS‐G trnL trnL‐F ycf1 ) three nuclear genes (ITS,...
Increasing CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) have the potential to disrupt plant–pathogen interactions in natural and agricultural ecosystems, but research this area has often produced conflicting results. Variations phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) jasmonic (JA) signalling could be associated with variations responses of pathogens plants grown under elevated [CO2]. In study, between tomato three different infection strategies were compared. Elevated [CO2] generally favoured SA biosynthesis...
The origin of cultivated tree peonies, known as the ‘king flowers' in China for more than 1000 years, has attracted considerable interest, but remained unsolved. Here, we conducted phylogenetic analyses explicitly sampled traditional cultivars peonies and all wild species from shrubby section Moutan genus Paeonia based on sequences 14 fast-evolved chloroplast regions 25 presumably single-copy nuclear markers identified RNA-seq data. phylogeny inferred was fully resolved largely congruent...
ABSTRACT Two genes with a common region that is characteristic of the TPSI1/Mt4 family were cloned from Pi‐starvation‐induced cDNA library rice roots using suppression subtracted hybridization (SSH). Based on consensus sequence these two genes, members found in maize, wheat and barley. blast cluster analysis eight showed classes four each among monocots. The first gene was designated OsIPS1 based comparison AtIPS1 , consequently second gene, which has been previously reported as OsPI1 OsIPS2...
ABSTRACT Recently, there has been an increase in invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by serotype 1 Streptococcus pneumoniae throughout Europe. Serotype IPD is associated with bacteremia and pneumonia Europe North America, especially neonates, ranked among the top five most prevalent serotypes at least 10 countries. The currently licensed pediatric vaccine does not afford protection to this serotype. Upon screening of 252 clinical isolates S. , we discovered mutations pneumolysin gene...
The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ethylene receptor Ethylene Response1 (ETR1) can mediate the signal output via its carboxyl terminus interacting with amino (N) of Constitutive Triple (CTR1) or N (etr11-349 dominant ethylene-insensitive etr1-11-349) by an unknown mechanism. Given that CTR1 is essential to signaling and overexpression Reversion To Sensitivity1 (RTE1) promotes ETR1 N-terminal signaling, we evaluated roles RTE1 in signaling. mutant phenotype ctr1-1 ctr1-2 was suppressed...
DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) transcription factors play a crucial role in plant abiotic stress regulatory networks, although massive Dofs have been systematically characterized plants, they not identified the hexaploid crop sweetpotato. Herein, 43 IbDof genes were detected to be disproportionally dispersed across 14 of 15 chromosomes sweetpotato, and segmental duplications discovered major driving force for expansion IbDofs. The collinearity analysis IbDofs their related orthologs from...
Maleae consists of economically and ecologically important plants. However, there are considerable disputes on generic circumscription due to the lack a reliable phylogeny at level. In this study, molecular 35 generally accepted genera in is established using 15 chloroplast regions. Gillenia most basal clade Maleae, followed by Kageneckia + Lindleya , Vauquelinia typical radiation clade, core suggesting that proposal four subtribes reasonable. including 31 genera, gene data support Malus...
Abstract Phytotoxic substances were extracted with diethyl ether and ethyl acetate from an acidic aqueous solution prepared by the concentration acidification of a residual nutrient (RNS) for hydroponic culture tomato. A similar extraction was also carried out eluent alkaline methanol activated charcoal (RAC) added to during cultivation. Gas chromatography gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry showed that extract RNS contained benzoic, phthalic, sinapic, palmitic acids as phytotoxic RAC...
Deforestation and thinning are human activities that can destabilize the forest ecological system and, consequently, impact significantly on habitat behavior of forest-dwelling animals. This hypothesis was tested in Yugong Mount Taihangshan area by comparing tracks tagged seeds Armeniaca sibirica. sites unthinned thinned forests. Our results showed that: (i) diversity vegetation rodents drastically reduced with forests, compared to sites; (ii) amount both removed scatter-hoarded declined...
Habitat fragmentation (Sensu lato) represents a landscape-scale process involving both habitat loss and the breaking apart of (habitat per se). In ecological studies, understanding impacts se on biodiversity remains critical challenge. While previous research has explored effects various ecosystems, significant gaps remain in our its bryophyte assemblages. To explore assemblages subtropical forests, we investigated bryophytes environments 18 fragmented forest landscapes (including 166...
