After germination, plants enter juvenile vegetative phase and then transition to an adult before producing reproductive structures. The character timing of the juvenile-to-adult vary widely between species. In annual plants, this occurs soon after germination usually involves relatively minor morphological changes, whereas in trees other perennial woody it months or years can involve major changes shoot architecture. Whether is controlled by same mechanism unknown. forb Arabidopsis thaliana...
Nutrients shape the growth, maturation, and aging of plants animals. In plants, juvenile to adult transition (vegetative phase change) is initiated by a decrease in miR156. Arabidopsis, we found that exogenous sugar decreased abundance miR156, whereas reduced photosynthesis increased level this miRNA. This effect was correlated with change timing vegetative change, primarily attributable expression two genes, MIR156A MIR156C, which were play dominant roles transition. The glucose-induced...
The increasing likelihood of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) releases to the environment highlights importance understanding AgNP interactions with plants, which are cornerstones most ecosystems. In this study, poplars (Populus deltoides × nigra) and Arabidopsis thaliana were exposed hydroponically nanoparticles different sizes (PEG-coated 5 10 nm AgNPs, carbon-coated 25 AgNPs) or ions (Ag+, added as AgNO3) at a wide range concentrations (0.01 100 mg/L). Whereas all forms phytotoxic above...
We explored the impact of quantum dot (QD) coat characteristics on NP stability, uptake, and translocation in Arabidopsis thaliana, subsequent transfer to primary consumers, Trichoplusia ni (T. ni). was exposed CdSe/CdZnS QDs with three different coatings: Poly(acrylic acid-ethylene glycol) (PAA-EG), polyethylenimine (PEI) poly(maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene)–poly(ethylene (PMAO–PEG), which are anionic, cationic, relatively neutral, respectively. PAA-EG-coated were stable taken up from a...
Abstract Herbicide resistance is one of the main crop traits that improve farming methods and productivity. CRISPR-Cas9 can be applied to development herbicide-resistant crops based on a target site mechanism, by editing genes encoding herbicide binding proteins. The sgRNAs capable herbicides, pds (phytoene desaturase), ALS (acetolactate synthase), EPSPS (5-Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate were designed use with system in tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum cv. Micro-Tom). efficiency was tested...
Abstract The Solanaceae family includes the largest flowering crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants. Consumer demand has led to massive development of plants in Solanum genus, many different varieties are now available on market. recent advances Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-based genome editing have allowed laboratories smaller crop production companies utilize technology various crops. traditional...
ABSTRACT Alginate, a carbohydrate polymer produced by seaweed and some bacteria, is widely used in the food medicine industries. Alginate oligosaccharides, depolymerizing alginate, exhibit diverse biological functions, such as plant protection growth promotion, enhancement of microbial metabolic activity, potential applications biofuel production. This study isolated 13 alginate-degrading bacterial strains from over thousand seaside soil bacteria South Korea investigated their...
Plants encounter environmental stress challenges that are distinct from those of other eukaryotes because their relative immobility. Therefore, plants may have evolved regulatory mechanisms for conserved cellular functions. Plants, like eukaryotes, share aspects both calcium- and calmodulin-based signaling the autophagic process renewal. Here, we report a novel function an Arabidopsis calmodulin-related protein, CML24, insight into ATG4-regulated autophagy. CML24 interacts with ATG4b in...
Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode, is most destructive in pine forest ecosystems worldwide. Extensive research has been done on PWD, but effective management yet to be devised. Generally, plants can resist pathogen attack via a combination of constitutive and inducible defenses. Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) an defense that occurs localized infection pathogens or treatment with elicitors. To manage PWD SAR trees, we tested previously known 12 Among them, methyl...
Abstract Anthocyanin is a type of flavonoid that appears purple in plants. PAP1, PAP2, and MYB113 are the three major R2R3-MYB transcription factors regulate biosynthesis Arabidopsis thaliana . In this study, we found MYB genes anthocyanin accumulation different leaf stages. Under limited nutrient conditions, PAP1 PAP2 were highly induced juvenile leaves. Conversely, was expressed mainly adult addition, investigated role trans-acting siRNA4 (TAS4) post-transcriptional regulation expression...
Objective This retrospective study investigated the nature and severity of venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) determined clotting factors involved in VICC patients after envenomation by South Korea's snakes. Additionally, we studied effectiveness antivenom for treatment envenomation.Methods Included were divided into three groups according to (no VICC, partial complete VICC). Data, including changes coagulation parameters during hospitalization at presentation, collected...
Biological responses to photothermal effects of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been demonstrated and employed for various applications in diverse systems except one important class – plants. Here, the uptake GNPs through Arabidopsis thaliana roots translocation leaves are reported. Successful plasmonic nanobubble generation acoustic signal detection planta is demonstrated. Furthermore, harboring exposed continuous laser or noncoherent light show elevated temperatures across leaf surface...
The role of the inflammatory process in pathogenesis local edema-related envenomation has not been explored with endemic venomous snakebites Korea. Gloydius species are responsible for most South In this study we aimed to investigate whether neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is relevant snake envenomation-induced edema This retrospective divided 126 patients into two groups according severity at presentation. Logistic regression models were used association between and edema. Sixty-one (48.4%) had...
Content This study investigated the incidence, progression and clinical course of myocardial injury-related snake envenomation in South Korea. In addition, this evaluated whether antivenom guidelines are appropriate to control patients with injury.Methods The included 198 who received after a snakebite, they were divided into two groups according evidence injury (defined as elevated troponin I or ischemic change on electrocardiogram) at presentation. Data including serial I,...
BACKGROUND:The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax), a wasp species, has attacked honey bee populations and affected the beekeeping industry in Korea over past 15 years.However, little research been done with this invasive species.In study, we investigated intestine bacterial microbiota of hornets bees to design an attractive trap for hornets.METHODS AND RESULTS: Genomic DNAs isolated from microorganisms were utilized amplify 16S rDNA comparative sequence analysis.The next generation...
