Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y) transcription factors are important regulators of several essential biological processes, including embryogenesis, drought resistance, meristem maintenance, and photoperiod-dependent flowering in Arabidopsis. However, the regulatory mechanisms NF-Ys maize (Zea mays) not well understood yet. In this study, we identified an NF-Y factor, ZmNF-YA3. Genome-wide analysis showed that ZmNF-YA3 bound to >6000 sites genome, 2259 which associated with genic sequences. was found...
High seed vigor is important for agricultural production due to the associated potential increased growth and productivity. However, a better understanding of underlying molecular mechanisms required because genetic basis remains unknown. We used single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) four traits in two connected recombinant inbred line (RIL) maize populations under treatment conditions during germination. Sixty-five QTLs distributed between were...
Abstract Drought stress adversely impacts crop development and yield. Maize frequently encounters drought during its life cycle. Improvement of tolerance is a priority maize breeding programs. Here, we identified novel transcription factor encoding gene, APETALA2 ( AP2 )/ Ethylene response (ERF), which tightly associated with in seedlings. ZmERF21 mainly expressed the root leaf it can be highly induced by polyethylene glycol treatment. Genetic analysis showed that zmerf21 mutant plants...
Abstract Drought is a major abiotic stress that limits maize production worldwide. Therefore, it of great importance to improve drought tolerance in crop plants for sustainable agriculture. In this study, we examined the roles Cys 2 /His zinc‐finger‐proteins (C2H2‐ZFPs) maize's as C2H2‐ZFPs have been implicated plant tolerance. By subjecting 150 Ac/Ds mutant lines stress, successfully identified Ds ‐insertion mutant, zmc2h2‐149 , which shows increased stress. Overexpression ZmC2H2‐149 led...
Leaf angle (LA) is a critical agronomic trait in maize, with more upright leaves allowing higher planting density, leading to efficient light capture and yields. A few genes responsible for variation LA have been identified by map-based cloning. In this study, we cloned maize ZmIBH1-1, which encodes bHLH transcription factor both basic binding region helix-loop-helix domain, the results of qRT-PCR showed that it negative regulator LA. Histological analysis indicated changes were mainly...
Summary The control of flowering time in maize is crucial for reproductive success and yield, it can be influenced by environmental stresses. Using the approaches Ac/Ds transposon transposable element amplicon sequencing techniques, we identified a Ds insertion mutant ZmPRR37 gene. showed significant correlation with days to anthesis. Further research indicated that ZmPRR37‐CR knockout mutants exhibited early flowering, whereas ‐overexpression lines displayed delayed compared WT under...
Crop yield is determined by the capacity of plant canopy to capture light energy and store nitrogen (Sinclair Sheehy, 1999), which in turn depends mostly on photosynthetic rate per se architecture plant. Leaf angle (LA), defined as inclination between leaf blade midrib vertical culm, one most important parameters describing (Anderson Denmead, 1969). It a complex trait, several related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been identified; however, only two these functionally characterized...
Abstract Background Appropriate flowering time is very important to the success of modern agriculture. Maize ( Zea mays L.) a major cereal crop, originated in tropical areas, with photoperiod sensitivity. Which an obstacle utilization tropical/subtropical germplasm resources temperate regions. However, study on regulation mechanism sensitivity maize still early stage. Although it has been previously reported that ZmCCT involved response and delays under long-day conditions, underlying...
Flowering time is an important agronomic trait that determines the distribution and adaptation of plants. The accurate prediction flowering in elite germplasm critical for maize breeding. However, molecular mechanisms underlying photoperiod response remain elusive maize. Here we cloned time-controlling gene, ZmNF-YC2, by map-based cloning confirmed ZmNF-YC2 nuclear transcription factor Y subunit C-2 protein a positive regulator under long-day conditions. Our results show promotes expression...
Abstract Drought, as a primary environmental factor, imposes significant constraints on developmental processes and productivity of plants. PHDs were identified stress‐responsive genes in wide range eukaryotes. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing PHD maize under abiotic stress conditions are still largely unknown require further investigation. Here, we mutant, zmvil2 , EMS mutant library with C to T mutation exon Zm00001d053875 (VIN3‐like protein 2, ZmVIL2 ), resulting premature...
Abstract The growth and development of maize are negatively affected by various abiotic stresses including drought, high salinity, extreme temperature, strong wind. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying stress resistance in maize. In present work, we identified that a novel NAC transcriptional factor, ZmNST3 , enhances lodging drought tolerance. ChIP‐Seq expression target genes analysis showed could directly regulate related cell wall biosynthesis which...
Photoperiodism refers to the ability of plants measure day length determine season. This enables coordinate internal biological activities with external changes ensure normal growth. However, influence photoperiod on maize flowering and stress responses under long-day (LD) conditions has not been analyzed by comparative transcriptome sequencing. The ZmCCT gene was previously identified as a homolog rice response regulator Ghd7, associated major quantitative trait locus (QTL) responsible for...
