We examined whether exogenously applied melatonin could improve resistance to Marssonina apple blotch (Diplocarpon mali) by [Malus prunifolia (Willd.) Borkh. cv. Donghongguo]. This serious disease leads premature defoliation in the main regions of production. When plants were pretreated with melatonin, was increased leaves. investigated potential roles for modulating levels hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as well activities antioxidant enzymes and pathogenesis-related proteins during these...
Transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors from Xanthomonas citri subsp. malvacearum (Xcm) are essential for bacterial blight of cotton (BBC). Here, by combining transcriptome profiling with TAL effector-binding element (EBE) prediction, we show that GhSWEET10, encoding a functional sucrose transporter, is induced Avrb6, effector determining Xcm pathogenicity. Activation GhSWEET10 designer (dTALEs) restores virulence avrb6 deletion strains, whereas silencing compromises susceptibility to...
Leaf dry mass per unit area (LMA) is considered to represent the photosynthetic capacity, which actually implies a hypothesis that foliar water (leaf fresh weight minus leaf weight) proportional during growth. However, relevant studies demonstrated disproportionately increases with increasing weight. Although scaling relationships of vs. for many plants were investigated, few compared relationship based on In this study, we used data three families (Lauraceae, Oleaceae, and Poaceae,...
Plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are important players in response to pathogen infections. Verticillium and Fusarium wilts, caused by dahliae (Vd) oxysporum f. sp vasinfectum (Fov), respectively, among the most devastating diseases cotton (Gossypium spp). To understand these soil-borne fungal pathogens, we performed a genome-wide silico characterization functional screen of diverse RLKs for their involvement wilt diseases. We identified Gossypium hirsutum GhWAK7A, wall-associated kinase,...
Pectins are major components of the primary plant cell wall, which functions as barrier against pathogens. Pectin methylesterases (PMEs) catalyze demethylesterification homogalacturonan domains pectin in wall. Their activity is regulated by PME inhibitors (PMEIs). Here, we provide evidence that methylesterase-inhibiting protein GhPMEI3 from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) responses to infection fungus Verticillium dahliae. interacts with PMEs and regulates expression a specific fungal...
Abstract Sessile plants encode a large number of small peptides and cell surface-resident receptor kinases, most which have unknown functions. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis kinase MALE DISCOVERER 1-INTERACTING RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 2 (MIK2) recognizes conserved signature motif SERINE-RICH ENDOGENOUS PEPTIDEs (SCOOPs) from Brassicaceae as well proteins present in fungal Fusarium spp. bacterial Comamonadaceae , elicits various immune responses. SCOOP trigger responses altered root...
Abstract Verticillium wilt caused by dahliae is a serious vascular disease in cotton (Gossypium spp.). V. induces the expression of CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 7 (GauCCD7) gene involved strigolactone (SL) biosynthesis Gossypium australe, suggesting role for SLs resistance. We found that SL analog rac-GR24 enhanced while inhibitor TIS108 decreased resistance to wilt. Knock-down GbCCD7 and GbCCD8b genes island barbadense) resistance, whereas overexpression upland hirsutum) increased...
Abstract Polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP), belonging to a group of plant defence proteins, specifically inhibits endopolygalacturonases secreted by pathogens. Herein, we showed that purified GhPGIP1 is functional inhibitor Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum , the two fungal pathogens causing cotton wilt. Transcription was increased in upon infection, wounding, treatment with hormone H 2 O . Resistance examined its virus-induced gene silencing...
Abstract With global climate change, plants are frequently being exposed to various stresses, such as pathogen attack, drought, and extreme temperatures. Transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in numerous plant biological processes; however, the functions of many tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) TFs that regulate responses multiple stresses largely unknown. Here, using an RNA-seq approach, we identified SlNAP1 , a NAC TF-encoding gene, which was strongly induced by stresses. By...
Plants have evolved many receptor-like kinases (RLKs) to sense extrinsic and intrinsic cues. The signaling pathways mediated by multiple Leucine-rich repeat (LRR) RLK (LRR-RLK) receptors require ligand-induced receptor-coreceptor heterodimerization transphosphorylation with BRI1-ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR KINASE1 (BAK1)/SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS KINASES family LRR-RLKs. Here we reveal an additional layer of regulation BAK1 via a Ca2+-dependent proteolytic cleavage process that is conserved in...
ABSTRACT Plant resistance to pathogens can be significantly enhanced through genetic modification, thereby reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides. CONSTITUTIVE EXPRESSER OF PATHOGENESIS‐RELATED GENES 5 (CPR5) serves as a key negative regulator of plant immunity. Here we explored functional domains CPR5 protein with goal dampening its activity bolster Using hexapeptide asparagine–alanine–alanine–isoleucine–arginine–serine (NAAIRS) linker‐scanning analysis, identified heptad repeat...
Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), caused by porcine virus (PEDV), is a highly contagious, acute enteric viral disease of swine characterized vomiting, watery diarrhea, dehydration and death. To identify characterize the field PEDVs associated with outbreaks severe in piglets Jiangxi, 2013, complete genome sequences two representative strains PEDV, designated CH/JX-1/2013 CH/JX-2/2013, were determined analyzed. The both emergent Jiangxi PEDV strains, 28,038 nucleotides length excluding 3' poly...
Cold damage has negatively impacted the yield, growth and quality of edible cooking oil in Northern China Brassica napus L.(rapeseed) planting areas decreased because cold damage. In present study we analyzed two cultivars 16NTS309 (highly resistant to damage) Tianyou2238 (cold sensitive) from Gansu Province, using physiological, biochemical cytological methods investigate plant’s response stress. The results showed that stress caused seedling dehydration, contents malondialdehyde (MDA),...
Cynanchum komarovii Al Iljinski is a xerophytic plant species widely distributing in the severely adverse environment of deserts northwest China. At present, detailed transcriptomic and genomic data for C. are still insufficient public databases. To investigate changes drought-responsive genes explore mechanisms drought tolerance komarovii, approximately 27.5 GB sequencing were obtained using Illumina technology. After de novo assembly 148,715 unigenes generated with an average length 604...
