Abstract Background The bZIP gene family, which is widely present in plants, participates varied biological processes including growth and development stress responses. How do the genes regulate such processes? Systems biology powerful for mechanistic understanding of functions. However, studies have not yet been reported poplar. Results In this study, we identified 86 poplar transcription factors described their conserved domains. According to results phylogenetic tree, divided these...
The ethylene response factor (ERF) family is one of the largest plant-specific transcription families, playing an important role in plant development and to stresses. ERF76 gene a member poplar ERF family. First, we validated that expressed leaf root tissues responsive salinity stress. We then successfully cloned cDNA fragment containing open reading frame from di-haploid Populus simonii × nigra proved protein targeted nucleus. Finally, transferred into same clone by Agrobacterium-mediated...
The MYB, one of the largest transcription factor families in plants, is related to various biological processes. For an example, R2R3-MYB family plays important role regulation primary and secondary metabolism, plant growth development, responses hormones stresses. However, functional studies on poplar genes are limited. In this study, we identified 207 that unevenly distributed 19 chromosomes poplar, followed by characterization their conserved domains. On basis phylogenetic analysis, these...
Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family plays an important role in cell wall reconstruction and stress resistance plants. However, the detailed characteristics of XTH genes their expression pattern under salt have not been reported poplar.
Bamboo is a versatile plant that plays significant role in the food, raw materials for construction and manufacture, making it one of most valuable non-timber forestry resources East Asia. propagates through both sexual asexual reproduction. They often flower synchronously die collectively after flowering. The time span from seed germination to flowering fruiting can take several decades or even over hundred years. Developmental events related growth occur throughout entire life cycle...
Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential microelement and low concentration Cd2+ has strong toxicity to plant growth. Plant metallothioneins, class of molecular, cystein(Cys)-rich heavy-metal binding proteins, play an important role in both metal chaperoning scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) with their large number cysteine residues therefore, protect plants from oxidative damage. In this study, metallothionein gene, TaMT3, isolated Tamarix androssowii was transformed into tobacco (Nicotiana...
NAC domain genes belong to a large plant-specific transcription factor family, which is well-known be associated with multiple stress responses and plant developmental processes. In this study, we screened differentially expressed (DEGs) detected mRNA abundance of family by RNA-Seq in the poplar leaves under salt condition. A total 276 up-regulated DEGs 159 down-regulated were identified shared Populus alba × glandulosa simonii nigra. Among 170 members, NAC57 gene was significantly response...
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor gene family is one of the largest families and extensively involved in plant growth, development, stress responses. However, limited studies are available on poplar. In this study, we focused 202 bHLH genes, exploring their DNA protein sequences physicochemical properties. According to sequence similarities, classified genes into 25 groups with specific motif structures. order explore expressions, performed expression profiling using...
Ethylene response factor (ERF) gene family plays an important role in abiotic stress responses. In this study, we isolated a salt-inducible ERF gene, ERF38 (Potri.006G138900.1), from the 84K poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa) and investigated its functions salt osmotic tolerance. We identified that protein was targeted to nucleus had no self-activation. Results yeast-one-hybrid indicated can specifically bind dehydration responsive element (DRE). then successfully transferred into...
Abstract Background The Late Embryogenesis-Abundant (LEA) gene families, which play significant roles in regulation of tolerance to abiotic stresses, widely exist higher plants. Poplar is a tree species that has important ecological and economic values. But systematic studies on the family have not been reported yet poplar. Results On basis genome-wide search, we identified 88 LEA genes from Populus trichocarpa renamed them as PtrLEA . fewer introns, their promoters contain more...
Leaf blight is a fungal disease that mainly affects the growth and development of leaves in plants. To investigate molecular mechanisms leaf defense poplar, we performed RNA-Seq enzyme activity assays on Populus simonii × nigra inoculated with Alternaria alternate fungus. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), obtained modules significantly associated SOD POD activities, containing 183 275 genes, respectively. We then constructed poplar genes related to resistance...
Phyllostachys nigra has green young culms (S1) and purple black mature (S4). Anthocyanins are the principal pigment responsible for color presentation in ornamental plants. We employ a multi-omics approach to investigate regulatory mechanisms of anthocyanins Ph. nigra. Firstly, we found that pigments culm accumulated only one four layers cells below epidermis. The levels total flavonoids gradually increased during process bamboo formation. Metabolomics analysis indicated predominant...
SIMILAR TO RCD ONE (SRO) gene family is a small plant-specific responsible for growth, development, and stress responses. In particular, it plays vital role in responding to abiotic stresses such as salt, drought, heavy metals. Poplar SROs are rarely reported date. this study, total of nine SRO genes were identified from Populus simonii × nigra, which more similar dicotyledon members. According phylogenetic analysis, the PtSROs can be divided into two groups, members same cluster have...
Ammonium greatly influences nutrient partitioning and root architecture, particularly in the tuberous crops where assimilate translocation is critical for yield formation. However, relatively few studies have systematically delved into physiological molecular mechanisms of ammonium on growth sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.). In this study, we investigated morphological, physiological, effects different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 mM) Sushu16 variety root-swelling stage. The plant...
