Plants accumulate the lipids phosphatidic acid (PA), diacylglycerol (DAG), and triacylglycerol (TAG) during cold stress, but how plants balance levels of these to mediate responses remains unknown. The enzymes ACYL-COENZYME A:DIACYLGLYCEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE (DGAT) DIACYLGLYCEROL KINASE (DGK) catalyze conversion DAG TAG PA, respectively. Here, we show that DGAT1, DGK2, DGK3, DGK5 contribute response in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). With or without acclimation, dgat1 mutants exhibited...
Submergence induces hypoxia in plants; exposure to oxygen following submergence, termed reoxygenation, produces a burst of reactive species. The mechanisms sensing and signaling plants have been well studied, but how respond reoxygenation remains unclear. Here, we show that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) involves rapid accumulation jasmonates (JAs) increased transcript levels JA biosynthesis genes. Application exogenous methyl jasmonate improved tolerance wild-type Arabidopsis; also,...
Drought stress is one of the most severe environmental constraints to plant growth and crop productivity. Plant greatly affected by drought stress, plants, survive, adapt this invoking different pathways. Piriformospora indica, a root-colonizing endophytic fungus Sebacinales, promotes confers resistance biotic abiotic stresses, including affecting physiological properties host plant. The strongly colonizes roots maize (Zea mays L.) shoot root under both normal conditions stress. We used...
As an endophytic fungus of Sebacinales, Piriformospora indica promotes plant growth and resistance to abiotic stress, including drought. Colonization maize roots promoted the leaf size, root length number tap roots. Under drought seedlings profited from presence performed visibly better than uncolonized controls. To identify genes biological processes involved in promotion tolerance conferred by P. indica, transcriptome colonized was analyzed 0, 6 12 h after stress (20% polyethylene glycol...
Effector proteins play important roles in the infection by pathogenic oomycetes and fungi or colonization endophytic mycorrhizal fungi. They are either translocated into host plant cells via specific translocation mechanisms function host's cytoplasm nucleus, they reside apoplast of act at extracellular host–microbe interface. Many effector possess conserved motifs (such as RXLR, CRN, LysM, RGD, DELD, EAR, RYWT, Y/F/WXC CFEM motifs) localized their N- C-terminal regions. Analysis functions...
The root endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica plays an important role in increasing abiotic stress tolerance of its host plants. To explore the impact P. on freezing tolerance, Arabidopsis seedlings were co-cultivated with exposed to −6°C for 6 h. Freezing decreased survival rate, electrolyte leakage, leaf temperature, water potential and chlorophyll fluorescence plants comparison controls. colonizion reduced negative effects freezing, contained also higher amounts soluble proteins,...
Waterlogging is one of the main abiotic stresses that limit wheat production. Quantitative proteomics analysis has been applied in study crop stress as an effective way recent years (e.g. salt stress, drought heat and waterlogging stress). However, only a few proteins related to primary metabolism signal transduction, such UDP - glucose dehydrogenase, UGP, beta glucosidases, were reported response wheat. The differentially expressed between genotypes are less-defined. In this study, two...
Drought stress is a common environmental stress, which adversely affects the yield and quality of crops. Due to its excellent drought tolerance, wild barley from Middle East region considered valuable source for improvement. Here, we compared growth rate, stomatal regulation capacity metabolize reactive oxygen species (ROS) two cultivars one accession. The results indicated EC_S1 showed more significant decline in aperture less ROS production. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that has slower...
Flowering in plants is synchronized by both environmental cues and internal regulatory factors. Previous studies have shown that the endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica promotes growth early flowering Coleus forskohlii (a medicinal plant) Arabidopsis. To further dissect impact of P. on pathways responsible for time Arabidopsis, we co-cultivated Arabidopsis with used RT-qPCR to analyze main gene regulation networks involved flowering. Our results revealed symbiotic interaction flower...
Divergent selection of populations in contrasting environments leads to functional genomic divergence. However, the architecture underlying heterogeneous differentiation remains poorly understood. Here, we de novo assembled two high-quality wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum K. Koch) genomes and examined gene expression patterns under abiotic stress populations. These had a shared ancestry originated close geographic proximity but experienced different selective pressures due their...
Menopause-related cholesterol metabolic disorders pose a global health concern, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. PRKRA was identified as potential regulator of metabolism in an exome-wide association study. Our prior research revealed decrease expression ovarian cortex postmenopausal women. However, its involvement disturbances females remains This study aimed to investigate between and ovariectomized mice. Additionally, we elucidated impact mechanisms on HepG2 HuH7 cells. An mouse...
The objectives of the present study were to compare dynamic growth and photosynthetic characteristics cotton varieties contrasting in waterlogging (WL) tolerance when subjected hypoxia stress. WL-sensitive genotypes was notably inhibited by WL, mainly as a result significant reduction net photosynthesis (PN) after two days treatment; tolerant varieties, no changes PN observed until 8 d onset. intercellular CO2 concentration maximal photochemical efficiency PSII significantly declined,...
ABSTRACT Acinetobacter baumannii , an opportunistic pathogen, poses a significant threat in intensive care units, leading to severe nosocomial infections. The rise of multi-drug-resistant strains, particularly carbapenem-resistant A. has created formidable challenges for effective treatment. Given the prolonged development cycle and high costs associated with antibiotics, phages have garnered clinical attention as alternative combating infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. However,...
