Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is one of the most important oil and protein crops. Ever-increasing soybean consumption necessitates improvement varieties for more efficient production. However, both correlations among different traits genetic interactions genes that affect a single trait pose challenge to breeding. To understand networks underlying phenotypic correlations, we collected 809 accessions worldwide phenotyped them two years at three locations 84 agronomic traits. Genome-wide...
The transition from the juvenile to adult phase in plants is controlled by diverse exogenous and endogenous cues such as age, day length, light, nutrients, temperature. Previous studies have shown that gradual decline microRNA156 (miR156) with age promotes expression of traits. However, how temporally regulates abundance miR156 poorly understood. We show here responds sugar. Sugar represses at both transcriptional level post-transcriptional through degradation primary transcripts....
Abstract Receptor-like proteins (RLPs) are cell surface receptors that typically consist of an extracellular leucine-rich repeat domain, a transmembrane and short cytoplasmatic tail. In several plant species, RLPs have been found to play role in disease resistance, such as the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Cf Ve apple (Malus domestica) HcrVf2 protein mediate resistance against fungal pathogens Cladosporium fulvum, Verticillium spp., Venturia inaequalis, respectively. addition, development;...

We present the draft sequence T. salsuginea genome, assembled based on ∼134-fold coverage to seven chromosomes with coding capacity at least 28,457 genes. This genome provides resources and evidence about nature defense mechanisms constituting genetic basis underlying plant tolerance. Comparative genomics experimental analyses identified genes related cation...
Abstract The seed oil content in oilseed crops is a major selection trait to breeders. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) and LEC1-LIKE (L1L) are key regulators of fatty acid biosynthesis. Overexpression AtLEC1 its orthologs canola (Brassica napus), BnLEC1 BnL1L, causes an increased level transgenic plants, which, however, also show severe developmental abnormalities. Here, we use truncated napin A promoters, which retain the seed-specific expression pattern but...
Significance The phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) plays a vital role in plant growth and development. IAA can be synthesized through the precursor tryptophan (Trp), known as Trp-dependent biosynthetic pathway. However, may also proposed Trp-independent Although biosynthesis was hypothesized 20 years ago, it remains mystery. In this paper, we provide compelling evidence that cytosol-localized indole synthase (INS) initiates pathway spatial temporal expression of INS an important...
Abstract The flavonoid xanthohumol is an important flavor substance in the brewing industry that has a wide variety of bioactivities. However, its unstable structure results low content beer. Microbial biosynthesis considered sustainable and economically viable alternative. Here, we harness yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae for de novo from glucose by balancing three parallel biosynthetic pathways, prenyltransferase engineering, enhancing precursor supply, constructing enzyme fusion,...

Myrcene, which accounts for 30–50% of the essential oil in hop ( Humulus lupulus L.) trichomes, derives from geranyl diphosphate (GPP), common precursor monoterpenes. Full-length sequences heterodimeric GPP synthase small subunit (GPPS.SSU, belonging to SSU I subfamily) and large (LSU) cDNAs were mined a trichome cDNA library. The was inactive, whereas LSU produced GPP, farnesyl diphosphate, geranylgeranyl (GGPP) dimethylallyl isopentenyl vitro. Coexpression both subunits Escherichia coli...
DnaJ proteins act as essential molecular chaperones in protein homeostasis and complex stabilization under stress conditions. The roles of a tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) chloroplast-targeted (LeCDJ1), whose expression was upregulated by treatment at 4 42 °C, with high light, NaCl, polyethylene glycol, H2O2, were investigated here using sense antisense transgenic tomatoes. plants exhibited not only higher chlorophyll content, fresh weight net photosynthetic rate, but also lower...
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a fundamental biological process. Deficiency in MOSAIC DEATH 1 (MOD1), plastid-localized enoyl-ACP reductase, leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and PCD, which can be suppressed by mitochondrial complex I mutations, indicating signal from chloroplasts mitochondria. However, this remains elucidated. In study, through cloning analyzing series mod1 suppressors, we reveal comprehensive organelle communication pathway that regulates...
Soybean (Glycine max) production is severely affected in unfavorable environments. Identification of the regulatory factors conferring stress tolerance would facilitate soybean breeding.
