In this study, the structural characters, antioxidant activities and bile acid-binding ability of sea buckthorn polysaccharides (HRPs) obtained by commonly used hot water (HRP-W), pressurized (HRP-H), ultrasonic (HRP-U), acid (HRP-C) alkali (HRP-A) assisted extraction methods were investigated. The results demonstrated that had significant effects on yield, monosaccharide composition, molecular weight, particle size, triple-helical structure, surface morphology HRPs except for major linkage...
Abstract Non-specific phospholipase C (NPC) hydrolyzes major membrane phospholipids to release diacylglycerol (DAG), a potent lipid-derived messenger regulating cell functions. Despite extensive studies on NPCs reveal their fundamental roles in plant growth and development, the mechanistic understanding of phospholipid-hydrolyzing by NPCs, remains largely unknown. Here we report crystal structure Arabidopsis NPC4 at resolution 2.1 Å. is divided into phosphoesterase domain (PD) C-terminal...
Abstract Phosphate is a vital macronutrient for plant growth, and its availability in soil critical agricultural sustainability productivity. A substantial amount of cellular phosphate used to synthesize phospholipids cell membranes. Here, we identify key enzyme, nonspecific phospholipase C4 (NPC4) that involved phosphosphingolipid hydrolysis remodeling Arabidopsis during starvation. The level glycosylinositolphosphorylceramide (GIPC), the most abundant sphingolipid thaliana, decreased upon...
Phosphorus is a macronutrient necessary for plant growth and development its availability efficient use affect crop yields. Leaves are the largest tissue that uses phosphorus in plants, membrane phospholipids main source of cellular usage. Here we identify key process recycling mediated by phospholipid hydrolysis during leaf senescence. Our results indicate over 90% lipid phosphorus, accounting more than one-third total recycled from senescent leaves before falling off plants. Nonspecific...
Non-specific phospholipase C (NPC) is involved in plant growth, development and stress responses. To elucidate the mechanism by which NPCs mediate cellular functions, here we show that NPC4 S-acylated at terminus acylation determines its plasma membrane (PM) association function. The of was detected using isolated from Arabidopsis reconstituted vitro. C-terminal Cys-533 identified as S-acylation residue, mutation to Ala-533 (NPC4C533A ) led loss NPC4. knockout impeded phosphate...
Abstract BACKGROUND The application of RNA interference (RNAi) technique in controlling agricultural insect pests has been receiving much attention since the discovery RNAi. brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens , a notorious pest rice, evolved high level resistance to many kinds insecticides. Tyrosine hydroxylase ( Th ) is an indispensable survival gene holometabolous insects, playing key roles cuticle tanning and immunity. In this study, we investigated whether could be used as...
Phosphorus is a major nutrient vital for plant growth and development, with substantial amount of cellular phosphorus being used the biosynthesis membrane phospholipids. Here, we report that NON-SPECIFIC PHOSPHOLIPASE C4 (NPC4) in rapeseed (Brassica napus) releases phosphate from phospholipids to promote seed yield, as plants altered NPC4 levels showed significant changes production under different conditions. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat...
Nitrogen is one of the most essential macronutrients for plant growth and its availability in soil vital agricultural sustainability productivity. However, excessive nitrogen application could reduce use efficiency produce environmental pollution. Here, we systematically determined response lipidome metabolome rapeseed during starvation. Plant was severely retarded deficiency, while levels amino acids were significantly decreased. The level monogalactosyldiacyglycerol (MGDG) leaves roots...
Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for Mycosphaerella fijiensis, a fungus causing the black sigatoka disease in banana. The sequenced genome of M. fijiensis was screened sequences with single sequence repeats (SSRs) using Perl script. SSR loci, evaluated on 48 isolates from Hawaii, identified to be highly polymorphic. These revealed two 19 alleles, an average 6.43 alleles per locus. estimated gene diversity ranged 0.091 0.930 across 14 loci. would useful population...
At present, the world is facing great challenge of climate change, and there an urgent need to transform energy system cope with environmental crisis. As a kind clean potential, biofuel regarded as effective way get rid fossil fuel dependence reduce carbon emissions. Both China US, world's two largest emitters, see biofuels key strategy burden ensure self-sufficiency. However, governments' incentives for industry are very different. This paper aims explore policy structures in sector United...
Abstract Sclerotinia stem rot caused by sclerotiorum is one of the most severe diseases affecting growth and production Brassica napus. Sphingolipid metabolism plays a crucial role in plant response to pathogens. In this study, we show that ceramide kinase (CERK) significantly induced during S. infection produce higher levels ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) B. The balance between (Cer) C1P affects resistance sclerotiorum, with CERK mutant lines exhibiting greater susceptibility overexpression...
Abstract Three new flavanol glycosides, 1 – 3 , and eight known compounds, 4 11 were isolated from a MeOH extract of the fern Abacopteris aspera ( Presl ) Ching . Their structures elucidated on basis extensive spectroscopic analysis, including HSQC, HMBC, H, H‐COSY, NOESY experiments, acid hydrolysis, by comparison their NMR data with those related compounds.
