Abstract A parasitoid’s decision to reject or accept a potential host is fundamental its fitness. Superparasitism, in which more than one egg of given parasitoid species can deposit single host, usually considered sub-optimal systems where the able support development only parasitoid. It follows that selection pressure may drive capacity for parasitoids recognize parasitized hosts, especially if there fitness cost superparasitism. Here, we used microsatellite studies two distinct populations...
Although research has determined that reactive oxygen species (ROS) function as signaling molecules in plant development, the molecular mechanism by which ROS regulate growth is not well known. An aba overly sensitive mutant, abo8-1, defective a pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein responsible for splicing of NAD4 intron 3 mitochondrial complex I, accumulates more root tips than wild type, and accumulation further enhanced ABA treatment. The ABO8 mutation reduces meristem activity, can be...
The plant hormone auxin plays a crucial role in regulating development and architecture. directional distribution within tissues depends on PIN transporters that are polarly localized the plasma membrane. polarity resulting flow directionality mediated by antagonistic actions of PINOID kinase protein phosphatase 2A. However, contribution phosphorylation to polar sorting is still unclear. Here, we identified an evolutionarily conserved site central hydrophilic loop proteins important for...
The phytohormone auxin plays a major role in embryonic and postembryonic plant development. temporal spatial distribution of largely depends on the subcellular polar localization members PIN-FORMED (PIN) efflux carrier family. Ser/Thr protein kinase PINOID (PID) catalyzes PIN phosphorylation crucially contributes to regulation apical-basal polarity. GTP exchange factor ADP-ribosylation factors (ARF-GEF), GNOM preferentially mediates recycling at basal side cell. Interference with activity...
Abstract Directional transport of the phytohormone auxin is a versatile, plant-specific mechanism regulating many aspects plant development. The recently identified hormones, strigolactones (SLs), are implicated in traits; among others, they modify phenotypic output PIN-FORMED (PIN) transporters for fine-tuning growth and developmental responses. Here, we show pea Arabidopsis that SLs target processes dependent on canalization flow, which involves feedback PIN subcellular distribution. D14...
In this study, the yield of exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Lactobacillus plantarum R301 was optimized using a single-factor experiment and response surface methodology (RSM). After optimization, EPS increased with fold-change 0.85. The significant factors affecting production, as determined through Plackett-Burman design Central Composite Design (CCD), were MgSO4 concentration, initial pH, inoculation size. maximum 97.85 mg/mL under condition 0.01% MgSO4, an pH 7.4, 6.4% addition, exhibited...
Postbiotics are an emerging research interest in recent years and fairly advanced compared to prebiotics probiotics. The composition function of postbiotics closely related fermentation conditions.In this study, we developed a solid-state preparation method for with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activities. antibacterial activity was improved 3.62 times initial conditions by using optimization techniques such as single factor experiments, Plackett-Burman design (PBD),...
With the increasing recognition of role immunomodulation and oxidative stress in various diseases, designing peptides with both immunomodulatory antioxidant activities has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. In this study, hybridization design was applied powerful method to obtain multifunctional peptides. A total 40 potential were designed screened. First, molecular docking employed screen high binding affinity MD2, key receptor protein NFκB immune pathway. For vitro...
Development in multicellular organisms depends on the ability of individual cells to coordinate their behavior by means small signaling molecules form correctly patterned tissues. In plants, a unique mechanism directional transport molecule auxin between connects cell polarity and tissue patterning thus is required for many aspects plant development. Direction flow determined polar subcellular localization PIN efflux transporters. Dynamic results from constitutive endocytic cycling plasma...
Multiple hormones, including abscisic acid (ABA) and auxin, regulate cell division differentiation of Arabidopsis root meristems. AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 2 (ARF2) functions as a negative regulator ABA responses, seed germination primary growth arf2 mutants are hypersensitive to ABA. In this study, we found that treatment reduced the expression levels PIN-FORMEDs (PIN) auxin efflux carriers, PIN1, PIN3, PIN4, PIN7, greater extent in meristems arf2-101 mutant than wild type. Also, pin1 pin4...
As a crucial nitrogen source, nitrate (NO3-) is key nutrient for plants. Accordingly, root systems adapt to maximize NO3- availability, developmental regulation also involving the phytohormone auxin. Nonetheless, molecular mechanisms underlying this remain poorly understood. Here, we identify low-nitrate-resistant mutant (lonr) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), whose growth fails low-NO3- conditions. lonr2 defective high-affinity transporter NRT2.1. (nrt2.1) mutants exhibit defects...
Recent evidence suggests that mulberry leaves have good antioxidant activity. However, what the ingredient is and how works are still not well understood. In this study, we enzymatically hydrolyze leaf proteins (MLPs) using neutral protease find protein hydrolysates (MLPHs) stronger activity compared to MLPs. We separate core components in MLPHs by ion-exchange columns molecular sieves identify 798 peptides LC-MS/MS. Through bioinformatics analysis biochemical assays, screen two previously...
Abstract Plant root architecture dynamically adapts to various environmental conditions, such as salt‐containing soil. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is involved among others also in these developmental adaptations, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, a novel branch of ABA signaling pathway Arabidopsis involving PYR/PYL/RCAR (abbreviated PYLs) receptor‐protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex that acts parallel canonical PYLs‐protein 2C (PP2C) identified....
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) and the Polycomb group proteins have key roles in regulating plant growth development; however, their interplay underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we identified an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) nodulin homeobox (AtNDX) protein as a negative regulator ABA signaling pathway. AtNDX mutants hypersensitive to ABA, measured by inhibition of seed germination root growth, expression is downregulated ABA. interacts with Repressive Complex1...
