Proteome quantification of cotton xylem sap suggests the mechanisms of potassium-deficiency-induced changes in plant resistance to environmental stresses
(2016-02)
Proteomics was employed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of apoplastic response to potassium(K)-deficiency in cotton. Low K (LK) treatment significantly decreased the K and protein contents of xylem sap. Totally, ...
Characterizing the role of the Early Gene at 23 (E23) in Drosophila Melanogaster Oogenesis
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)
Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) females undergo oogenesis to create oocytes from undifferentiated stem cells in the ovary. Similar to estrogen in humans, the steroid hormone ecdysone in fruit flies has a known role in ...
Genome Analysis of Planctomycetes Inhabiting Blades of the Red Alga
(2016-03)
Porphyra is a macrophytic red alga of the Bangiales that is important ecologically and economically. We describe the genomes of three bacteria in the phylum Planctomycetes (designated P1, P2 and P3) that were isolated from ...
Comprehensive analysis of TCP transcription factors and their expression during cotton () fiber early development
(2016-02)
TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors implicated to perform a variety of physiological functions during plant growth and development. In the current study, we performed for the first time the comprehensive ...
Transcriptome sequencing of Crucihimalaya himalaica (Brassicaceae) reveals how Arabidopsis close relative adapt to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
(2016-02)
The extreme environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provides an ideal natural laboratory for studies on adaptive evolution. Few genome/transcriptome based studies have been conducted on how plants adapt to the ...
Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function
(2016-01)
Reduced glomerular filtration rate defines chronic kidney disease and is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular ...
Development of a RAD-Seq Based DNA Polymorphism Identification Software, AgroMarker Finder, and Its Application in Rice Marker-Assisted Breeding
(2016-01)
Abstract
Rapid and accurate genome-wide marker detection is essential to the marker-assisted breeding and functional genomics studies. In this work, we developed an integrated software, AgroMarker Finder (AMF: ...
A cotton miRNA is involved in regulation of plant response to salt stress
(2016-01)
The present study functionally identified a new microRNA (microRNA ovual line 5, miRNVL5) with its target gene GhCHR from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). The sequence of miRNVL5 precursor is 104 nt long, with a well developed ...
Analysis of the Maize dicer-like1 Mutant, fuzzy tassel, Implicates MicroRNAs in Anther Maturation and Dehiscence
(2016-01-08)
Sexual reproduction in plants requires development of haploid gametophytes from somatic tissues. Pollen is the male gametophyte and develops within the stamen; defects in the somatic tissues of the stamen and in the male ...
INTERACTION BETWEEN HTLV-1 BASIC LEUCINE ZIPPER FACTOR (HBZ) AND HOST CELL PROTEINS PROMOTES CELLULAR TRANSFORMATION
(2016-04-26)
Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) is a complex retrovirus which preferentially infects CD4+ T-cells. Endemic to Japan, regions of South America, Africa, and the Caribbean, HTLV-1 is transmitted through breastfeeding, ...
