Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been widely used in genetic dissection of complex traits. However, common methods are all based on a fixed-SNP-effect mixed linear model (MLM) and single marker analysis, such as efficient analysis (EMMA). These require Bonferroni correction for multiple tests, which often is too conservative when the number markers extremely large. To address this concern, we proposed random-SNP-effect MLM (RMLM) multi-locus RMLM (MRMLM) GWAS. The simply...
The mixed linear model has been widely used in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but its application to multi-locus GWAS analysis not explored and assessed. Here, we implemented a fast random-SNP-effect EMMA (FASTmrEMMA) for GWAS. is built on random single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) effects new algorithm. This algorithm whitens the covariance matrix of polygenic K environmental noise, specifies number nonzero eigenvalues as one. first chooses all putative quantitative trait...
Germin is a homopentameric glycoprotein, the synthesis of which coincides with onset growth in germinating wheat embryos.There have been detailed studies germin structure, biosynthesis, homology other proteins, and its value as marker development.Germin isoforms associated apoplast speculated to role embryo hydration during maturation germination.Antigenically related are present germination all economically important cereals studied, amounts germin-like proteins coding elements found...
Abstract Germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) are encoded by a family of genes found in all plants. They part the cupin superfamily biochemically diverse proteins, that has conserved tertiary structure, though with limited similarity primary sequence. The subgroups GLPs have different enzyme functions include two hydrogen peroxide–generating enzymes, oxalate oxidase (OxO) superoxide dismutase. This review summarizes sequence structural details also discusses their evolutionary progression,...
Terpene synthases are responsible for the biosynthesis of complex chemical defense arsenal plants and microorganisms. How do these enzymes, which all appear to share a common terpene synthase fold, specify many different products made almost entirely from one only three substrates? Elucidation structure 1,8-cineole Salvia fruticosa (Sf-CinS1) combined with analysis functional phylogenetic relationships enzymes within species identified active-site residues product specificity. Thus, Sf-CinS1...
Although nonparametric methods in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are robust quantitative trait nucleotide (QTN) detection, the absence of polygenic background control single-marker scans results a high false positive rate. To overcome this issue, we proposed an integrated method for multi-locus GWAS. First, new model transformation was used to whiten covariance matrix K and environmental noise. Using transferred model, Kruskal–Wallis test along with least angle regression then select...
Somatic embryogenesis (SE) in plants is a process by which embryos are generated directly from somatic cells, rather than the fused products of male and female gametes. Despite detailed expression analysis several somatic-to-embryonic marker genes, comprehensive understanding SE at molecular level still lacking. The present study was designed to generate high resolution transcriptome datasets for early providing way future research understand underlying mechanisms that regulate this process....
Summary A simple and inexpensive system for the generation of fertile, transgenic maize plants has been developed. Cells from embryogenic suspension cultures were transformed using silicon carbide whiskers to deliver plasmid DNA carrying bacterial bar uidA (gus) genes. Transformed cells selected on medium containing herbicide bialaphos. Integration gene activity enzyme phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT) confirmed in all bialaphos‐resistant callus lines analysed. Fertile regenerated....
The cupin superfamily is a group of functionally diverse proteins that are found in all three kingdoms life, Archaea, Eubacteria, and Eukaryota. These have characteristic signature domain comprising two histidine- containing motifs separated by an intermotif region variable length. This consists six beta strands within conserved barrel structure. Most cupins, such as microbial phosphomannose isomerases (PMIs), AraC- type transcriptional regulators, cereal oxalate oxidases (OXOs), contain...
Abstract (1,3;1,4)-β-d-Glucan (β-glucan) accounts for 20% of the total cell walls in starchy endosperm wheat (Triticum aestivum) and is an important source dietary fiber human nutrition with potential health benefits. Bioinformatic array analyses gene expression profiles developing caryopses identified CELLULOSE SYNTHASE-LIKE F6 (CSLF6) as encoding a putative β-glucan synthase. RNA interference constructs were therefore designed to down-regulate CSLF6 expressed transgenic under control...
Abstract The release of genetically modified plants is governed by regulations that aim to provide an assessment potential impact on the environment. One most important components this risk evaluation probability gene flow. In review, we overview current literature flow from transgenic plants, providing a framework issues for those considering plant into For some crops well documented, and information discussed in detail review. Mechanisms vary species range possibility asexual propagation,...
