Serotyping forms the basis of national and international surveillance networks for Salmonella, one most prevalent foodborne pathogens worldwide (1-3). Public health microbiology is currently being transformed by whole-genome sequencing (WGS), which opens door to serotype determination using WGS data. SeqSero (www.denglab.info/SeqSero) a novel Web-based tool determining Salmonella serotypes high-throughput genome based on curated databases determinants (rfb gene cluster, fliC fljB alleles)...
Elucidating enzyme-substrate relationships in posttranslational modification (PTM) networks is crucial for understanding signal transduction pathways but technically difficult because interactions tend to be transient. Here, we demonstrate that TurboID-based proximity labeling (TbPL) effectively and specifically captures the substrates of kinases phosphatases. TbPL-mass spectrometry (TbPL-MS) identified over 400 proximal proteins Arabidopsis thaliana BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE2 (BIN2), a...
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, with each cascade consisting of a MAPK (MAPKKK), (MAPKK) and MAPK, have important roles in different biological processes. However, the signal transduction rice cascades remains to be elucidated. We show that structural non-canonical MAPKK, MPKK10.2, enhances resistance Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), which causes bacterial streak disease, increases tolerance drought stress by phosphorylating activating two MAPKs, MPK6 MPK3,...
Abstract The recent discovery of SPINDLY (SPY)-catalyzed protein O-fucosylation revealed a novel mechanism for regulating nucleocytoplasmic functions in plants. Genetic evidence indicates the important roles SPY diverse developmental and physiological processes. However, upstream signal controlling activity downstream substrate proteins O-fucosylated by remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrated that mediates sugar-dependent growth Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). We further identified...
There is limited information about the influence of slow or controlled release fertilizer (S/CRF) on rice yield and quality. In this study, japonica cultivar Nanjing 9108 was used to study effects three different S/CRFs (polymer-coated urea (PCU), sulfur-coated (SCU), formaldehyde (UF)) two fertilization modes (both S/CRF common (CU) as basal fertilizer, CU tillering fertilizer) only applied separately control (CK). Results showed that, grain yield, chalky kernel rate, area, overall...
O-GlcNAc modification plays important roles in metabolic regulation of cellular status. Two homologs transferase, SECRET AGENT (SEC) and SPINDLY (SPY), which have O-fucosyl transferase activities, respectively, are essential Arabidopsis but largely unknown targets. Here we show that AtACINUS is O-GlcNAcylated O-fucosylated mediates transcription, alternative splicing (AS), developmental transitions. Knocking-out both its distant paralog AtPININ causes severe growth defects including...
Brassinosteroid (BR) signaling leads to the nuclear accumulation of BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1 (BZR1) transcription factor, which plays dual roles in activating or repressing expression thousands genes. BZR1 represses gene by recruiting histone deacetylases, but how it activates BR-induced genes remains unclear. Here, we show that BR reshapes genome-wide chromatin accessibility landscape, increasing and reducing BR-repressed Arabidopsis. physically interacts with BRAHMA-associated SWI/SNF...
Abstract The interactions between the rumen microbiota and host are crucial for digestive absorptive processes of ruminants, they heavily influenced by climatic conditions their habitat. Owing to harsh high-altitude habitat, little is known about how ruminants regulate transcriptome composition microbiota. Using model species goats, we examined variations in microbiota, regulation, climate environment high altitude (Lhasa, Xizang; 3650 m) low (Chengdu, Sichuan, China; 500 goats. results 16 S...

The appearance quality of rice represent the primary concern consumers when choosing rice, as well a necessary condition for high-quality rice. In past, focus attention on was mainly chalkiness, and most previous reviews focused chalky phenotype while some more generalized chalkiness only indicator quality. This paper objectively analyses definitions interrelationships indicators at present stage. Then, formation mechanism research status were analyzed from three aspects: endosperm...
Soybean (Glycine max) is an important economic crop that provides abundant oil and high quality protein for human beings. As the process of reproductive growth directly determines seed yield quality, we initiated studies to identify genes regulate soybean floral organ development. One R2R3-MYB transcription factor gene, designated as GmMYB181, was found be enriched in flowers based on microarray analysis further functionally investigated transgenic Arabidopsis. GmMYB181 contains two MYB...
Plant‐specific LBD ( LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES Domain ) genes play critical roles in various plant growth and development processes. However, the number characteristics of soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] remain unknown. Here, we identified 90 homologous genome that phylogenetically clustered into two classes (I II). The majority GmLBD were evenly distributed across all 20 chromosomes, 77 (81.11%) them detected segmental duplicated regions. Furthermore, exon–intron organization motif...
Sugar, light, and hormones are major signals regulating plant growth development, however, the interactions among these not fully understood at molecular level. Recent studies showed that sugar promotes hypocotyl elongation by activating brassinosteroid (BR) signaling pathway after shifting Arabidopsis seedlings from light to extended darkness. Here, we show inhibits BR in grown under light. induction of is inhibited increasing concentration sucrose. The inhibition response correlated with...
It is of great importance to investigate spring wheat yield affected by the climate at different latitudes in Rice-Wheat Rotation System. Two varieties used as study objects were planted two locations 2017–2018 and 2018–2019. Six sowing dates selected for planting seeds. The quantity basic seedlings first date was 300 × 104 ha−1, which increased 10% on each following proceeding. Results showed that latitude increased, mean daily temperature effective accumulated decreased, solar radiation...
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPKKK) are the first components of MAPK cascades, which play pivotal roles in signaling during plant development and physiological processes. The genome rice encodes 75 MAPKKKs, 43 Raf-like MAPKKKs. functions action modes most whether they function as bona fide MAPKKKs their downstream MAPKKs, largely unknown. Here, we identified osmapkkk43 mutant, conferred broad-spectrum resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. (Xoo), destructive bacterial pathogen rice....
