Abstract Sucrose is not only the carbon source for starch synthesis, but also a signal molecule. Alone or in coordination with ABA, it can regulate expression of genes involved synthesis. To investigate molecular mechanisms underlying this effect, maize endosperms were collected from Zea mays L. B73 inbred line 10 d after pollination and treated sucrose, sucrose plus ABA at 28 °C dark 24 h. RNA-sequence analysis endosperm transcriptome revealed 47 candidate transcription factors among...
Catalases (CATs) are present in almost all living organisms and play important roles plant development response to various stresses. However, there is relatively little information on CAT genes wheat related Triticeae species. A few studies family have been reported. In this study, ten proteins (TaCATs) were identified classified into three groups based their phylogenetic features sequence analysis. The analysis of the structure motif composition TaCAT suggested that a segmental duplication...
Starch synthesis is a key process that influences crop yield and quality, though little known about the regulation of this complex metabolic pathway. Here, we present identification ZmbZIP91 as candidate regulator starch via co-expression analysis in maize (Zea mays L.). was strongly associated with expression genes. Reverse tanscription–PCR (RT–PCR) RNA situ hybridization indicated highly expressed endosperm, less leaves. Particle bombardment-mediated transient endosperm leaf protoplasts...
Serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) dephosphorylates proteins and plays crucial roles in plant growth, development, stress response. In this study, we characterized a clade B member of maize PP2C family, i.e., ZmPP2C26, that negatively regulated drought tolerance by dephosphorylating ZmMAPK3 ZmMAPK7 maize. The ZmPP2C26 gene generated ZmPP2C26L ZmPP2C26S isoforms through untypical alternative splicing. lost 71 amino acids including an MAPK interaction motif showed higher activity...
Integration of light signaling and diverse abiotic stress responses contribute to plant survival in a changing environment. Some reports have indicated that signals plant's ability deal with heat, cold, stress. However, the molecular link between salt-response pathways remains unclear. We demonstrate here increasing intensity elevates salt tolerance plants. Depletion HY5, key component signaling, causes Arabidopsis thaliana become salinity sensitive. Interestingly, small heat shock protein...
In flowering plants, anther dehiscence and pollen release are essential for sexual reproduction. Anthers dehisce after cell wall degradation weakens stomium junctions in each locule, desiccation creates mechanical forces that open the locules. Either effect or both together may break junctions. The microRNA miR167 negatively regulates ARF6 ARF8, which encode auxin response transcription factors. Arabidopsis mARF6 mARF8 plants with mutated target sites have defective ovule development. Null...
Heat stress (HS) seriously restricts the growth and development of plants. When plants are exposed to extreme high temperature, heat response (HSR) is activated enable survive. Sessile have evolved multiple strategies sense cope with HS. Previous studies established that PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4) acts as a key component in thermomorphogenesis; however, whether PIF4 regulates plant thermotolerance molecular mechanism linking this light transcriptional factor HSR remain unclear....
Temperature increases as light intensity rises, but whether signals can be directly linked to high temperature response in plants is unclear. Here, we find that pre-treatment enables survive better under temperature, designated light-induced thermotolerance (LIT). With short-term treatment, induce light-signaling pathway genes and heat shock genes. Blue photoreceptor cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) required for LIT. We also CRY1 physically interacts with the transcription factor A1d (HsfA1d) HsfA1d...
Plants are constantly challenged by a diversity of abiotic stressors, and growth arrest is common plant response aimed at enhancing stress tolerance. Because this growth/stress tolerance antagonism, plants must finely modulate their responses to environmental stimuli. Here, we demonstrate that HSFB1, heat shock transcription factor, plays critical role in the coordination drought Arabidopsis thaliana. First, found HSFB1 negatively regulates development under normal conditions expression...
The heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) family is widely present in eukaryotes including plants. Recent studies have indicated that HSF a multifunctional group of genes involved plant growth and development, as well response to abiotic stresses. Here we combined the bioinformatic, molecular biology way dissect function Hsf, specifically HsfB4 wheat under In this study, identified 78 TaHSF (Triticum aestivum) analyzed their phylogenetic relationship expression regulation motifs. Next,...
Abstract Background Short internodes contribute to plant dwarfism, which is exceedingly beneficial for crop production. However, the underlying mechanisms of internode elongation are complicated and have been not fully understood. Results Here, we report a maize dwarf mutant, dwarf2014 ( d2014 ), displays shortened lower internodes. Map-based cloning revealed that gene novel br2 allele with splicing variation, resulting in higher expression BR2-T02 instead normal BR2-T01 . Then, found...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a monoecious grass species with separate male and female inflorescences which form the tassel ear, respectively. The mature ear usually bear hundreds of grains, thus directly influence maize grain production yield. Here, we isolated recessive mutant, tasselseed2016 (ts2016), exhibits pleiotropic inflorescence defects reduction in These include loss determinacy identity meristems floral organs, as well lack lower floret abortion smaller size. Using map-based cloning...
Abstract Nitrogen is a major driving force for the improvement of crop yield worldwide but brings detrimental effects on ecosystems. Therefore, enhancing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) vital sustainable agriculture. The nitrate transporter (NRT1/NPF) family associated with uptake and utilization indispensable to NUE in crops. As an important food security crop, cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) produces acceptable nutrient‐deficient soil. Here, we identified systematically analyzed NPF gene...
