Soybean is an important and versatile crop worldwide. Enhancing soybean architecture offers a potential method to increase yield. Plant-specific transcription factors play crucial, yet often unnoticed, role in regulating plant growth development. GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR (GIF) genes are plant-specific factors; however, their functions remain poorly understood. Eight GmGIF members were identified (Glycine max L.). Phylogenetic analysis divided the eight proteins into three groups. In this...
Abstract Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins, composing one of the largest protein families in plants, are involved RNA binding and regulation organelle metabolism at post‐transcriptional level. Although several PPR proteins have been implicated endosperm development rice ( Oryza sativa ), molecular functions many PPRs remain obscure. Here, we identified a mutant named floury 18 flo18 ) with pleiotropic defects both reproductive vegetative development. Map‐based cloning complementation...
Abstract Background Monoacylglycerol lipase ( MAGL ) genes belong to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily, catalyze terminal step of triglyceride (TAG) hydrolysis, converting monoacylglycerol (MAG) into free fatty acids and glycerol. Results In this study, 30 in upland cotton have been identified, which classified eight subgroups. The duplication GhMAGL was predominantly influenced by segmental events, as revealed through synteny analysis. Furthermore, all were found contain light-responsive...
Protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) are unique organelles that accumulate proteins in plant seeds. Although morphological evidence points to the existence of multiple PSV-trafficking pathways for protein targeting, molecular mechanisms regulate these processes remain mostly unknown. Here, we report functional characterization rice (Oryza sativa) glutelin precursor accumulation7 (gpa7) mutant, which over-accumulates 57-kDa precursors dry Cytological and immunocytochemistry studies revealed gpa7...

The height, fresh weight, disease index, rhizosphere microbial community, root exudates composition tomatoes were determined. With application...
Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinases (CDPKs) involved in regulating downstream components of calcium signaling pathways play a role tolerance to abiotic stresses and seed development plants. However, functions only few cotton CDPKs have been clarified at present. In this study, 80 conserved Gossypium hirsutum L. were identified characterized, which was divided into four subgroups. Among them, the transcript level GhCDPK60 significantly upregulated under drought several hormone treatments. And...
In rice, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the functional aspects members serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) gene family. This study provides investigation SHMT family, covering phylogeny, structure, promoter analysis, expression subcellular localization, and protein interaction. Remarkably, we discovered specific loss event occurred in chloroplast-localized group IIa SHMTs monocotyledons. However, OsSHMT3, which originally classified within cytoplasmic-localized Ib, was found...
ABSTRACT Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular program in eukaryotic cells which mediates the degradation of cytoplasmic components through lysosome, also named vacuole plants. However, molecular mechanisms underlying fusion autophagosomes with remain unclear. Here, we report functional characterization rice ( Oryza sativa ) mutant defects storage protein transport endosperm and accumulation numerous root cells. Cytological immunocytochemical experiments showed that this exhibits defect...
Endosperm stores starch and proteins in cereal crop seeds, providing a major calorie source for human consumption. Rice, given its agricultural importance rich genetic resources, serves as model dissecting the molecular basis of endosperm development. Although many genes affecting development have been functionally characterized, our understanding storage substance accumulation remains fragmented (He et al., 2021; Huang 2021). Serine hydroxymethyltransferases (SHMTs) catalyse reversible...
Cotton is essential for the textile industry as a primary source of natural fibers. However, environmental factors like drought present significant challenges to its cultivation, adversely affecting both production levels and fiber quality. Enhancing cotton’s resilience has potential reduce yield losses support growth cotton farming. In this study, calcium-dependent protein kinase GhCDPK16 was characterized, transcription level significantly upregulated under various stress-related hormone...
Seed vigor (SV) is a crucial trait determining the quality of crop seeds. Currently, over 80% China's cotton-planting area in Xinjiang Province, where fully mechanized planting model adopted, accounting for more than 90% total fiber production. Therefore, identifying SV-related loci and genes improving cotton yield Xinjiang. In this study, three seed vigor-related traits, including germination potential, rate, index, were investigated across environments panel 355 diverse accessions based on...
d-Tagatose is a novel low-calorie sweetener, but its application in milk and yogurt has not been explored. A l-arabinose isomerase gene was identified Lactobacillus rhamnosus. The purified showed good thermal stability from 50 °C to 65 °C, pH 6.0 8.0. To prepare sweet milk, 3.77 × 10−7 kat/mL β-galactosidase 9.02 10−8 were added.
