Abstract Male reproduction in flowering plants is highly sensitive to high temperature (HT). To investigate molecular mechanisms of the response cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) anthers HT, a relatively complete comparative transcriptome analysis was performed during anther development lines 84021 and H05 under normal HT conditions. In total, 4,599 differentially expressed genes were screened; mainly related epigenetic modifications, carbohydrate metabolism, plant hormone signaling. Detailed...
Plants are constantly challenged by a multitude of pathogens and pests, which causes massive yield quality losses annually. A promising approach to reduce such is enhance the immune system plants through genetic engineering. Previous work has shown that laccases (p-diphenol:dioxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2) function as lignin polymerization enzymes. Here we demonstrate transgenic manipulation expression laccase gene GhLac1 in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) can confer an enhanced defense...
Crop breeding aims to generate pure inbred lines with multiple desired traits. Doubled haploid (DH) and genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 are two powerful game-changing technologies in crop breeding. However, both of them still fall short for rapid generation elite integrated favorable Here, we report the development a Haploid-Inducer Mediated Genome Editing (IMGE) approach, which utilizes maize inducer line carrying cassette targeting agronomic trait pollinate an genome-edited haploids...
Male sterility caused by long-term high-temperature (HT) stress occurs widely in crops. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs, play an important role the plant response to various abiotic stresses. To dissect working principle miRNAs male under HT cotton, total 112 known miRNAs, 270 novel and 347 target genes were identified from anthers HT-insensitive (84021) HT-sensitive (H05) cotton cultivars normal-temperature conditions through RNA degradome sequencing....
The inherent metal elements and structures of Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanozymes have restricted their enzyme-mimicking activity. Therefore, the rational regulation PBA to improve catalytic activity is highly desirable for biosensing applications. Herein, we propose a structure remodeling strategy construct an open-cage Fe PBA-anchored NiFePBA (NiFe@Fe bis-PBA) nanozyme with significantly enhanced formation process mechanism this bis-PBA were studied in detail. Specifically, cubic...
Maize, now ranking #1 in world cereal production (accounting for ~42% of total worldwide), plays a pivotal role securing food and feed supply globally (FAO, 2023). Historically, increasing planting density has been adopted as key measurement to maize grain yield per unit land area (Mansfield Mumm, 2014). Plant height (PH) ear (EH) are agronomic traits that determine lodging resistance thus high-density tolerance (Wang et al., 2020). Recently, it proposed "Short corn" may represent future...
Global warming has reduced the productivity of many field-grown crops, as effects high temperatures can lead to male sterility in such plants. Genetic regulation temperature (HT) response major crop cotton is poorly understood. We determined functionality and transcriptomes anthers 218 accessions grown under HT stress. By analyzing transcriptome divergence implementing a genome-wide association study (GWAS), we identified three thermal tolerance associated loci which contained 75 protein...
Summary N 6 ‐methyladenosine (m A) is the most abundant mRNA modification in eukaryotes and an important regulator of gene expression as well many other critical biological processes. However, characteristics functions m A peanut ( Arachis hypogea L.) resistance to bacterial wilt (BW) remain unknown. Here, we analyzed dynamic during infection resistant (H108) susceptible (H107) accessions with Ralstonia solanacearum R. ), causative agent BW. Throughout transcriptome, identified ‘URUAY’ a...
Abstract Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is an efficient tool for the propagation of plant species and also, a useful model studying regulatory networks in embryo development. However, underlying transition from nonembryogenic callus to somatic embryos during SE remain poorly understood. Here, we describe upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) CASEIN KINASE I gene, GhCKI, which unique key factor that strongly affects SE. Overexpressing GhCKI halted formation embryoids regeneration because block...
As a promising new class of near-infrared light emitters, GaAsBi laser diodes (LDs) are considered to have high energy efficiency and an insensitive temperature dependence the band gap. In this paper, we realize longest ever reported lasing wavelength up 1.142 μm at room in GaAsBi0.058/GaAs quantum well LDs grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The output power is 127 mW 300 K under pulsed mode. We also demonstrate continuous wave mode operation 273 for first time. coefficient GaAsBi/GaAs LD 0.26...
Introduction of the semi-dwarf genes (sd1 in rice, RhtB1b and RhtD1b wheat) has drastically increased lodging resistance grain yields these two important crops since 1960s, resulting so called 'Green Revolution' (Hedden, 2003). Maize (Zea mays L.) is one most widely cultivated cereal world increasing planting density an effective strategy to increase yield (Duvick, 2005). However, high could trigger shade avoidance response cause plant height ear height, prone loss. Thus, reducing plant/ear...
High temperature (HT) causes male sterility and decreases crop yields. Our previous works have demonstrated that sugar auxin signaling pathways, Gossypium hirsutum Casein kinase I (GhCKI), DNA methylation are all involved in HT-induced cotton. However, the mechanisms leading to distinct GhCKI expression patterns induced by HT between HT-tolerant HT-sensitive cotton anthers remain largely unknown. Here, we identified a promoter (ProGhCKI) region functions response found transcription factor...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major staple crop worldwide, and during modern maize breeding, cultivars with increased tolerance to high-density planting higher yield per plant have contributed significantly the unit land area. Systematically identifying key agronomic traits their associated genomic changes breeding remains significant challenge because of complexity genetic regulation interactions various traits, most them being controlled by numerous small-effect quantitative trait loci (QTLs)....
Abstract As a typical monoecious plant, maize (Zea mays L.) produces unisexual male and female flowers comprising tassels ears, respectively. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying flower development remain largely unclear. Here, we identify pair of homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) transcription factors, Grassy tiller1 (GT1) ZmHB13 (also termed VRS1-like1, VRL1), which act synergistically to control carpel in maize. Mutations GT1, but not ZmHB13/VRL1, cause defects abortion tassels,...
The absence of HIBCH or ECHS1, two Leigh syndrome genes, in cultured cells results abnormal mitochondrial morphology and respiratory defects. Fly eyes lacking either protein exhibit age-dependent degeneration. Elevated lysine methacrylation (Kmea) is observed both HIBCH- ECHS1-deficient fly tissues. Quantitative mass spectrometry reveals that many proteins are ectopically modified by Kmea these cells. Mimicking like CH60, FKBP4, BIP, LDHB, DHRS2 replicates the changes seen Reducing...
SPLs (SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein-like) are pivotal in regulating plant development and stress responses. Although SPL genes have been characterized a series of species, no systematic analysis has performed on bananas, one the most consumed tropical fruits with immense economic importance worldwide. Here, 55 putative MaSPL were identified Musa acuminata ssp. malaccensis var. Pahang classified into seven groups based phylogenetic analysis. The RNA-seq revealed that expression MaSPLs...
The effect of high-voltage electrostatic field (HVEF) on maize seeds' resistance to chilling injury remains unclear. This study investigates the chemical and spatial changes induced by HVEF at macroscopic microscopic levels via combination physiological assessments scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Maize samples were categorized into low normal-temperature groups. At an strength 1.6 kV/cm, all indices in low-temperature group significantly improved relative control (P < 0.01), with...
