Dodders (Cuscuta spp., Convolvulaceae) are root- and leafless parasitic plants. The physiology, ecology, evolution of these obligate parasites poorly understood. A high-quality reference genome Cuscuta australis was assembled. Our analyses reveal that experienced accelerated molecular evolution, the convolvulaceous morning glory (Ipomoea) shared a common whole-genome triplication event before their divergence. C. harbors 19,671 protein-coding genes, importantly, 11.7% conserved orthologs in...
Many of true bugs are important insect pests to cultivated crops and some vectors human diseases, but few cladistic analyses have addressed relationships among the seven infraorders Heteroptera. The Enicocephalomorpha Nepomorpha consider basal groups Heteroptera, basal-most lineage remains unresolved. Here we report mitochondrial genome unique-headed bug Stenopirates sp., first sequenced from Enicocephalomorpha. sp. is a typical circular DNA molecule 15, 384 bp in length, contains 37 genes...
Rhodomyrtusials A-C, the first examples of triketone-sesquiterpene meroterpenoids featuring a unique 6/5/5/9/4 fused pentacyclic ring system were isolated from Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, along with several biogenetically-related dihydropyran isomers. Two bis-furans and one isomer showed acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity. Structures isolates unambiguously established by combination spectroscopic data, ECD analysis, total synthesis. Bioinspired syntheses six achieved in steps...
The olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is an economically important flatfish in marine aquaculture with a broad thermal tolerance ranging from 14 to 23°C. Cold-tolerant that can survive during the winter season at temperature of less than 14°C might facilitate understanding mechanisms underlying response cold stress. In this study, transcriptional stress (0.7±0.05°C) was characterized using RNA sequencing. Transcriptome sequencing performed Illumina MiSeq platform for cold-tolerant (CT)...
Abstract Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by the abnormal expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats in Huntingtin gene (HTT) located on chromosome 4. It transmitted autosomal dominant manner and characterized motor dysfunction, cognitive decline, emotional disturbances. To date, there are no curative treatments for HD have been developed; current therapeutic approaches focus symptom relief comprehensive care through coordinated pharmacological...
Black shank is a severe plant disease caused by the soil-borne pathogen Phytophthora nicotianae. Two physiological races of P. nicotianae, 0 and 1, are predominantly observed in cultivated tobacco fields around world. Race has been reported to be more aggressive, having shorter incubation period, causing worse root rot symptoms, while race 1 causes necrosis. The molecular mechanisms underlying difference virulence between remain elusive. We assembled annotated genomes nicotianae which were...
Eucalyptusdimers A-C, three dimeric phellandrene-derived meroterpenoids featuring an unprecedented, fused skeleton between two phellandrene and acylphloroglucinol subunits, along with one biogenetically related intermediate, (±)-eucalyprobusone A, were isolated from the fruits of Eucalyptus robusta. Their structures absolute configurations elucidated using spectroscopic data, X-ray crystallography, electronic circular dichroism analysis. The evaluated for their anti-inflammatory,...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple crop worldwide with extensive genetic variations. Various insects attack maize plants causing large yield loss. Here, we investigated the responses of B73, susceptible line, and Mo17, resistant to aphid Rhopalosiphum padi on metabolite transcriptome levels. R. feeding had no effect levels defensive metabolites benzoxazinoids (Bxs) in either Mo17 contained substantially greater Bxs than did B73. Profiling differentially expressed genes revealed that B73...
Three new meroterpenoids, guajavadials A-C (1-3), were isolated from Psidium guajava cultivated in temperate zone. Their structures established by extensive spectroscopic evidence and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Guajavadial A (1) represents a novel skeleton of the 3,5-diformylbenzyl phloroglucinol-coupled monoterpenoid, while B (2) C (3) are adducts phloroglucinol sesquiterpene with different coupling models. The plausible biosynthetic pathways as well antimicrobial...
2,4-Dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) and DIMBOA-glucoside (DIMBOA-Glc) are anti-insect benzoxazinoids in maize, yet very little information is known about how they regulated. Reverse genetics, kinase activity analysis, phytohormone DIMBOA/DIMBOA-Glc quantification, bioassays transcriptome analysis were employed to study the function of ZmMPK6, a mitogen-activated protein kinase, maize response herbivory. ZmMPK6 was rapidly activated by wounding simulated Silencing A188...
Ten new formyl-phloroglucinol–terpene meroterpenoids, eucalypglobulusals A–J (1–10), and ten known analogues were isolated from Eucalyptus globulus fruits. The structures of 1–10 determined by spectroscopic analysis, while their absolute configurations established using calculated experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Eucalypglobulusal A was assigned as a meroterpenoid with rearranged sesquiterpene skeleton, an aldol condensation between C-3 C-5 the germacrene C moiety...
Propolis has been widely used as a dietary supplement for its health benefits, including cardiovascular protective effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytoprotective effects Brazilian green propolis (BP) against oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) damage. Our results suggested that treatment with BP rescued Ox-LDL-stimulated HUVECs cell viability losses, which might be associated inhibitive on apoptosis and...
Edible maize is an important food crop, providing energy and nutrients to meet human health nutritional requirements. However, how environmental pressures activity have shaped the edible metabolome remains unclear. In this study, we collected 452 diverse accessions worldwide, comprising waxy, sweet, field maize. A total of 3,020 non-redundant metabolites, including 802 annotated were identified by a two-step optimized approach, which generated most comprehensive metabolites dataset in plants...

Silk has numerous unique properties that make it a staple of textile manufacturing for several thousand years. However, wider applications silk in modern have been stalled due to limitations traditional produced by Bombyx mori. While is commonly B. mori, wild non-mulberry silkmoths--especially members family Saturniidae--produce with superior may be useful applications. Further utilization such silks hampered the non-domestication status or limited culturing population silkworms. To date...
Dodder (Cuscuta spp., Convolvulaceae) is a genus of parasitic plants with worldwide distribution. Dodders are able to simultaneously parasitize two or more adjacent hosts, forming dodder-connected plant clusters. Nitrogen (N) deficiency common challenge plants. To date, it has been unclear whether dodder transfers N-systemic signals between hosts grown in N-heterogeneous soil. Transcriptome and methylome analyses were carried out investigate campestris) N-replete N-depleted cucumber (Cucumis...
