Effects of red and blue light treatment on physiological quality, microbial loads, redox status metabolomics profiles fresh-cut sugarcane in vacuum plastic packages were investigated during 15 d storage. The results showed that synergistic delayed the decrease pH increase respiration rate enhanced antioxidant capacities related enzymes activities. Light was beneficial to 1O2 generation, but had opposite effects O2 -, H2O2 malondialdehyde. O2- negatively associated with CAT, sucrose,...
Summary The late‐flowering, vernalization‐responsive habit of many Arabidopsis ecotypes is mediated predominantly through repression the floral programme by FLOWERING LOCUS C ( FLC ) gene. To better understand this repressive mechanism, we have taken a genetic approach to identify novel genes that positively regulate expression. We identified recessive mutations in gene designated VERNALIZATION INDEPENDENCE 4 VIP4 ), confer early flowering and loss expression absence cold. cloned found it...
Iron is a critical cofactor for number of metalloenzymes involved in respiration and photosynthesis, but plants often suffer from iron deficiency due to limited supplies soluble the soil. induces series adaptive responses various plant species, mechanisms by which they are triggered remain largely unknown. Using pH imaging hormone localization techniques, it has been demonstrated here that root Fe(III) reductase activity proton extrusion upon up-regulated systemic auxin signalling...
The plant tolerance mechanisms to low temperature have been studied extensively in the model Arabidopsis at transcriptional level. However, few studies were carried out plants with strong inherited cold tolerance. Chorispora bungeana is a subnival alpine possessing mechanisms. To get deeper insight into its mechanisms, transcriptome profiles of chilling-treated C. seedlings analyzed by Illumina deep-sequencing and compared Arabidopsis.Two cDNA libraries constructed from mRNAs control...
Abstract Drought is a major abiotic stress to rice ( Oryza sativa ) during growth. Ideal Plant Architecture IPA1 ), the first cloned gene controlling ideal plant type in rice, has been reported function both architecture and biotic resistance. Here, we report that IPA1/OsSPL14 , encoding transcriptional factor, positively regulates drought tolerance rice. The constitutively expressed regulated by H 2 O abscisic acid, NaCl polyethylene glycol 6000 treatments Furthermore, I PA1 -knockout...
Abstract The Arabidopsis flowering-repressor gene FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) is a developmental switch used to trigger floral induction after extended growth in the cold, process termed vernalization. In vernalized plants, FLC becomes transcriptionally silenced through that involves an epigenetic mechanism. We identified recessive mutations designated vernalization independence (vip) confer cold-independent flowering and suppression of FLC. These also lead pleiotropy, including specific defects...
Cotton is one of the major world oil crops. Cottonseed meets increasing demand fried food, ruminant feed, and renewable bio-fuels. MADS intervening keratin-like C-terminal (MIKC)-type MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that have crucial roles in various plant developmental processes. Nevertheless, this gene family has not been characterized, nor its functions investigated, cotton. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis MIKC-type tetraploid Gossypium hirsutum L., which most...
Salinity is a major abiotic stress that limits plant productivity and quality throughout the world. Roots are sites of salt uptake. To better understand responses in maize, we performed comparative proteomic analysis seedling roots from salt-tolerant genotype F63 salt-sensitive F35 under 160 mM NaCl treatment for 2 days. Under salinity conditions, shoot fresh weight relative water content were significantly higher than F35, while osmotic potential was lower reduction K+/Na+ ratio less...
An intertidal sample of the Australian marine brown alga, Zonaria spiralis, exhibited promising kinase inhibitory and antibacterial activity. Chemical analysis returned six phloroglucinol-derived lipids, new hemiketal spiralisones A–D (1–4) known chromones 5–6, norsesquiterpenoid apo-9′-fucoxanthinone (7). Structures 1–7 were assigned on basis detailed spectroscopic analysis, biosynthetic considerations total synthesis. Spiralisones undergo facile acid-mediated dehydration to yield...
Abstract Main conclusion The post-transcriptional gene regulatory pathway and small RNA play important roles in regulating the rapid long-term response of Rhododendron moulmainense to high-temperature stress. plays an role maintaining ecological balance. However, it is difficult domesticate for use urban ecosystems due their strict optimum growth temperature condition, its evolution adaptation are little known. Here, we combined transcriptome RNAome reveal adaptability regulation strategies...
The rhizospheric bacterial community associated with desert shrub is an important part of sandy land ecosystems. In this study, we isolated and characterized culturable bacteria Caragana microphylla from a wide range habitats in North China. We chose five different aridity index values dune types. both trials, soil physicochemical parameters populations showed the rhizosphere effects. communities bulk were determined using 16s rDNA sequencing. identified that proportions beneficial strains...
Auxin and auxin-mediated signaling pathways are known to regulate lateral root development. Although exocytic vesicle trafficking plays an important role in recycling the PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux carriers polar transport during formation, mechanistic details of these processes not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that BYPASS1-LIKE (B1L) regulates initiation via vesicular trafficking-mediated PIN Arabidopsis thaliana. b1l mutants contained significantly more roots than wild type,...
Background: Yugur is an ethnic group that was officially identified by the Chinese Government in 1953. Within population there are two sub-clans distinctly as Eastern and Western Yugur, partly because they have different local languages.Aim: A parentage comparison conducted between to investigate their genetic relationship.Subjects methods: Male subjects were chosen from clans paternal landscape through typing 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) 12 short tandem repeats (STR) of Y...
A novel aerobic bacterial strain, designated ZS60T, with long, rod-shaped, Gram-staining-negative, cells was isolated from the soil in Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain ZS60T affiliated genus Lysobacter, and most closely related to Lysobacter daejeonensis GH1-9T (96.9 %), caeni BUT-8T (96.8 %) ruishenii CTN-1T (96.7 %). The average nucleotide identity values between L. were 78.14 78.39 %, respectively. DNA-DNA...
Abstract Background Cold stress inhibits normal physiological metabolism in plants, thereby seriously affecting plant development. Meanwhile, plants also actively adjust their and development to adapt changing environments. Several cold tolerance regulators have been found participate the regulation of Previously, we reported that BYPASS1-LIKE (B1L), a DUF793 family protein, participates tolerance, at least partly through stabilizing C-REPEAT BINDING FACTORS (CBFs). In this study, B1L...
Abstract Programmed cell death (PCD) has been well documented in both development and response to environmental stresses plants; however, PCD induced by freezing stress its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In the present study, we characterised freezing-induced explored Arabidopsis . was similar that other senescence plants with cold acclimation. Inhibitor treatment assays immunoblotting indicated cathepsin B mainly contributed increased caspase-3-like activity during PCD....
