Phosphorus is one of the essential macronutrients required by plant growth and development, but phosphate resources are finite diminishing rapidly because huge need in global agriculture. In this study, 11 genes were found Phosphate Transporter 1 ( PHT1 ) family Medicago truncatula . Seven available qRT-PCR. Most them expressed roots, almost all induced low-phosphate stress nodule. The expression MtPT6 was relatively high nodules stress. fusion promoter- GUS gene M. suggested that roots...
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria have been shown to enhance plant tolerance drought stress through various mechanisms. However, there is limited research on improving resistance in alfalfa by genetically modifying PGPR produce increased levels of cytokinins. Herein, we employed synthetic biology approaches engineer two novel strains
Abstract Alfalfa, an essential forage crop known for its high yield, nutritional value, and strong adaptability, has been widely cultivated worldwide. The yield quality of alfalfa are frequently jeopardized due to environmental degradation. Lignin, a constituent the cell wall, enhances plant resistance abiotic stress, which often causes osmotic stress in cells. However, how lignin responds leaves remains unclear. This study explored effects on accumulation contents intermediate metabolites...
Abstract Plant growth and development are intricately regulated by molecular mechanisms, with the mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade its associated modules being pivotal. In this study, we identified characterized a member of MAPKKK family, MtMAP3Kδ6 , from Medicago truncatula . This gene, classified within B3 subgroup was expressed across various tissues during plant growth. The knockout mutant displayed dwarfism, reduced branching smaller leaf size, whereas...
(1) Background: Alfalfa is an important legume forage throughout the world. Although alfalfa considered moderately tolerant to salinity, its production and nitrogen-fixing activity are greatly limited by salt stress. (2) Methods: We examined physiological changes proteomic profiles of with active nodules (NA) without (NN) under NaCl treatment. (3) Results: Our data suggested that NA roots showed upregulation pathways abiotic biotic stress responses (e.g., heat shock proteins...
Abstract Drought has a devastating impact, presenting formidable challenge to agricultural productivity and global food security. Among the numerous ABC transporter proteins found in plants, ABCG transporters play crucial role plant responses abiotic stress. In Medicago sativa , function of remains elusive. Here, we report that MsABCG1 WBC‐type highly conserved legumes, is critical for response drought alfalfa. localized on plasma membrane, with highest expression observed roots under normal...
Zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZEP) plays an important role in xanthophyll cycle which is a process closely related to photosynthesis. However, impact of ZEP on low-light stress has not been studied. In this study, the functions alfalfa (Medicago sativa) zeaxanthin gene, MsZEP, response were investigated by heterologous expression tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). Under normal light conditions, measured parameters significantly different between transgenic and wild-type (WT) plants except for...
Adaptive changes in crops contribute to the diversity of agronomic traits, which directly or indirectly affect yield. The change pubescence form from appressed erect is a notable feature during soybean domestication. However, biological significance and regulatory mechanism underlying this transformation remain largely unknown. Here, we identified major-effect locus, PUBESCENCE FORM 1 (PF1), upstream region Mao1, that regulates soybean. insertion Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposon PF1 can recruit...
Drought, bringing the risks of agricultural production losses, is becoming a globally environmental stress. Previous results suggested that legumes with nodules exhibited superior drought tolerance compared non-nodule group. To investigate molecular mechanism rhizobium symbiosis impacting tolerance, transcriptome and sRNAome sequencing were performed to identify potential mRNA–miRNA–ncRNA dynamic network. Our revealed seedlings active enhanced by reserving energy, synthesizing N-glycans,...
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE)-associated proteins are a class of transmembrane involved in intracellular trafficking pathways. However, the functions many SNARE domain-containing remain unclear. We have previously identified SNARE-associated gene alfalfa (Medicago sativa) KILLING ME SLOWLY1 (MsKMS1), which is various abiotic stresses. In this study, we investigated function MsKMS1 seed germination transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)....
Torenia fournieri Lind. is an ornamental plant that popular for its numerous flowers and variety of colors. However, genomic evolutionary history the genetic metabolic bases flower color formation remain poorly understood. Here, we report first T. reference genome, which was resolved to chromosome scale 164.4 Mb in size. Phylogenetic analyses clarified relationships with other species, a comparative analysis indicated shared ancestor Antirrhinum majus underwent whole genome duplication...
Abstract Torenia fournieri Lind. is an ornamental plant, popular for its numerous flowers and variety of colors. However, genomic evolution, as well the genetic metabolic basis flower color formation, remain poorly understood. Here we report a chromosome-level reference genome T. comprising 164.4 Mb. Phylogenetic analysis revealed phylogenetic placement species, comparative genomics indicated that shared whole duplication (WGD) event with Antirrhinum majus . Through joint transcriptomics...
