The WRKY transcription factors have been demonstrated to play crucial roles in regulating stress responses; however, the exact mechanisms underlying their involvement responses are not fully understood. Arabidopsis WRKY8 was predominantly expressed roots and highly upregulated by salt treatment. Disruption of rendered plants hypersensitive salt, showing delayed germination, inhibited post-germination development accelerated chlorosis. Further investigation revealed that interacted with VQ9,...
The precise control of gene regulation, and hence, correct spatiotemporal tissue patterning, is crucial for plant development. Plant microRNAs can constrain the expression their target genes at posttranscriptional levels. Recently, microRNA396 (miR396) has been characterized to regulate leaf development by mediating cleavage its GROWTH-REGULATING FACTOR (GRF) targets. miR396 also preferentially expressed in flowers. However, function flower unclear. In addition narrow leaves, pistils with a...
Root meristem activity determines root growth and architecture consequently affects water nutrient uptake in plants. However, our knowledge about the regulation of crop plants is very limited. Here, we report isolation characterization a short mutant rice (Oryza sativa) with reduced activity.

The aim1 results from salicylic acid (SA) levels...
Abstract Tibetan Plateau is one of the largest and most unique habitats for organisms including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). However, it remains unclear how AMF communities respond to key environmental changes in this harsh environment. To test if precipitation could be a driving force shaping community structures at regional scale, we examined associated with dominant plant species along gradient alpine steppe. Rhizosphere soils were collected from five sites annual decreasing 400 50...
Cellular activities such as compound synthesis often require the transcriptional activation of an entire pathway; however, molecular mechanisms underlying pathway have rarely been explained. Here, cis regulatory architecture anthocyanin genes targeted by transcription factor (TF) complex including MYB, bHLH, and WDR was systematically analysed in one species findings extended to others. In Ipomoea purpurea, IpMYB1-IpbHLH2-IpWDR1 (IpMBW) found be orthologous PAP1-GL3-TTG1 (AtPGT) Arabidopsis...
Rapid detection of allelic variation and identification advantage haplotypes responsible for spike related traits play a crucial role in wheat yield improvement.

Summary The AGAMOUS‐LIKE6 ( AGL6 )‐like genes are ancient MADS‐box and functionally studied in a few model plants. knowledge of these wheat remains limited. Here, by studying ‘double homoeolog mutant’ the gene tetraploid wheat, we showed that was required for development all four whorls floral organs with dosage‐dependent effect on floret fertility. Yeast two‐hybrid analyses detected interactions classes proteins ABCDE organ development. found to interact several additional proteins,...
Summary Plant breeding is constrained by trade‐offs among different agronomic traits the pleiotropic nature of many genes. Genes that contribute to two or more favourable with no penalty on yield are rarely reported, especially in wheat. Here, we describe editing a wheat auxin response factor TaARF12 using CRISPR/Cas9 rendered shorter plant height larger spikes. Changes architecture enhanced grain number per spike up 14.7% significantly higher thousand‐grain weight and 11.1% increase under...
The photoreceptors UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) and CRYPTOCHROMES 1 2 (CRYs) play major roles in the perception of UV-B (280-315 nm) UV-A/blue radiation (315-500 nm), respectively. However, it is poorly understood how they function sunlight. UVR8 CRYs were assessed a factorial experiment with Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type photoreceptor mutants exposed to sunlight for 6 or 12 hr under five types filters cut-offs blue-light regions. Transcriptome-wide responses triggered by UV-A wavelengths...
Purple wheat is thought to have beneficial effects on humans owing its high anthocyanin content. However, a systematic understanding of the biosynthesis process in developing grain lacking. Here, dynamic changes components and transcripts purple ZNM168 at five developmental stages (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 DAF) were characterized. Compared with other anthocyanins, four components, cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside, 3-O-glucoside, 3,5-O-diglucoside, malvidin significantly accumulated development. In...
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important food legume globally, and the plant species that J.G. Mendel used to lay foundation of modern genetics. However, genomics resources pea are limited comparing other crop species. Application marker assisted selection (MAS) in breeding has lagged behind many crops. Development a large number novel reliable SSR (simple sequence repeat) or microsatellite markers will help both basic applied research this crop. The Illumina HiSeq 2500 System was uncover...
The study of genetic diversity between Lathyrus sativus L. and its relative species may yield fundamental insights into evolutionary history provide options to meet the challenge climate changes. 30 SSR loci were employed assess population structure 283 individuals from wild domesticated populations Africa, Europe, Asia ICARDA. allele number per ranged 3 14. average gene index polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.5340 0.4817, respectively. A model based analysis divided germplasm...
Because the use of antibiotics is forbidden, piglets experience a considerable weanling stress, resulting in increased incidence diarrhea and death. Macleaya cordata extract or benzoic acid have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial activities that makes them potential antibiotic alternatives. The objective this study was to evaluate effects feed supplemented with on growth performance, immunity, antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, microflora weaned piglets. Twenty-four...
Lesion mimics (LMs) that exhibit spontaneous disease-like lesions in the absence of pathogen attack might confer enhanced plant disease resistance to a wide range pathogens. The LM mutant, lm3 was derived from single naturally mutated individual F1 population 3-1/Jing411 cross, backcrossed six times with 3-1 as recurrent parent and subsequently self-pollinated twice. leaves young seedlings mutant exhibited small, discrete white under natural field conditions. first appeared at leaf tips...
Control of organ size and shape by cell proliferation expansion is a fundamental process during plant development, but the molecular mechanisms that set final determinate organs in plants remain unclear, especially legumes. In this study, we characterized several mutants including bigger (bio) elephant-ear-like leaf 1 (ele1) pea displayed similar phenotypes, with enlarged leaves symmetrical lateral ventral petals. Genetic analysis showed BIO interacted specific regulators SYMMETRICAL PETAL1...
Plants have inherent tolerance to UV stress. However, very limited information is available about how wheat perceives and defends against disaster. To obtain the molecular mechanisms underlying of wheat, phenotypic transcriptomic responses ZN168 ZKM138 with contrasting were characterized. Compared ZKM138, showed significantly less damage. High-throughput sequencing revealed that stress inhibited expression genes related photosynthesis carbon fixation a degree for than ZKM138. The distinctive...
