Screening for superior cadmium (Cd) phytoremediation resources and uncovering the mechanisms of plant response to Cd are important effective Cd-polluted soils. In this study, characteristics Coreopsis grandiflora related tolerance accumulation were analyzed evaluate its potential. The results revealed that C. can tolerate up 20 mg kg-1 in soil. This species showed relatively high shoot bioconcentration factors (1.09-1.85) translocation (0.46-0.97) when grown soils spiked with 5-45 Cd,...
In flowering plants, sexual reproductive success depends on the production of viable pollen grains. However, mechanisms by which QUA QUINE STARCH (QQS) regulates development and how transcriptional activators facilitate transcription QQS in this process remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1 (ICE1), a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) factor, acts as key activator positively expression to increase germination viability Arabidopsis thaliana interacting...
Dendrobium catenatum Lindl is a valuable medicinal herb and gardening plant due to its ornamental value special medical value. Low temperature major bottleneck restricting D. expansion towards the north, which influences quality yield of catenatum. In this study, we analysed cold response by RNA-Seq. A total 4302 differentially expressed genes were detected under stress, mainly linked protein kinase activity, membrane transport glycan biosynthesis metabolism pathway. We also identified 4005...
Root FRIGIDA activated the novel targets MAF4/5 to delay flowering; temporal expresson of as early at pro-embryo stage is efficient in delaying flowering.
The turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) is a biennial crop that planted in late summer/early fall and forms fleshy tubers for food temperate regions. harvested then overwinter are again the next spring flowering seeds. FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) MADS-box transcription factor acts as major repressor of floral transition by suppressing promoters FT SOC1. Here we show vernalization effectively represses tuber formation promotes Tibetan turnip. We functionally characterized four FLC homologues...
Abstract Background Alternanthera philoxeroides (alligator weed) is a highly invasive alien plant that has continuously and successfully expanded from the tropical to temperate regions of China via asexual reproduction. During this process, continuous decrease in temperature been key limiting environmental factor. Results In study, we provide comprehensive analysis cold tolerance alligator weed transcriptomics. The transcriptomic differences between southernmost population northernmost were...
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of cadmium (Cd) tolerance and accumulation in plants is important to address Cd pollution. In present study, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis identify response processes roots two turnip landraces, KTRG-B14 (high-Cd accumulation) KTRG-B36 (low-Cd accumulation). Two common enhanced processes, glutathione metabolism antioxidant system, were identified both landraces. However, some differential are likely employed by namely, several genes...
Abstract Key message The BrrFT paralogues exhibit distinct expression patterns and play different roles in regulating flowering time, BrrFT4 competes with BrrFT1 BrrFT2 to interact BrrFD proteins. Flowering time is an important agricultural trait for Brassica crops, early bolting strongly affects the yield quality of rapa ssp. . Locus T role time. In this study, we identified FT -related genes turnip by phylogenetic classification, four homoeologs that shared high identities BraFT were...
Premise of the study: Tithonia diversifolia (Asteraceae) is an invasive plant species that can outcompete natives and thus poses a great threat to biodiversity in introduced areas. Here, expressed sequence tag–simple repeat (EST‐SSR) markers were developed characterized. Methods Results: Sixteen polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from T. using transcriptome sequencing bioinformatic screening. The number alleles per locus varied two four 48 individuals three populations. Most these...
Abstract FRIGIDA (FRI) as the major regulator of flowering time in Arabidopsis accessions can activate its target FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) to delay before vernalization. Besides FLC , other FRI targets also exist . Although leaves sense environmental cues modulate time, it is not known if roots regulate floral transition. In this study, we investigated spatiotemporal effect on time. Local expression phloem and activated flowering. Furthermore, found that local delayed by activating MADS...
