Nicotine exposure and transgenerational impact: a prospective study on small regulatory microRNAs
(2014-12-17)
Early developmental stages are highly sensitive to stress and it has been reported that pre-conditioning with tobacco smoking during adolescence predisposes those youngsters to become smokers as adults. However, the molecular ...
A high-efficiency CRISPR/Cas9 system for targeted mutagenesis in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
(2017-03-03)
The complex allotetraploid genome is one of major challenges in cotton for repressing gene expression.
Developing site-specific DNA mutation is the long-term dream for cotton breeding scientists. The
clustered regularly ...
Construction and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library for Gossypium mustelinum
(2018-05-17)
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for G. mustelinum Miers ex G. Watt (AD4)
was constructed. Intact nuclei from G. mustelinum (AD4) were used to isolate high molecular
weight DNA, which was partially cleaved ...
Comprehensive analysis of TCP transcription factors and their expression during cotton (Gossypium arboreum) fiber early development
(2016-02-09)
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 ...
MicroRNA expression profiles during cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L) fiber early development
(2017-03-22)
The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) during cotton fiber development remains unclear. Here, a total of
54 miRNAs belonging to 39 families were selected to characterize miRNA regulatory mechanism in eight different fiber development ...
Differential expression of microRNAs during fiber development between fuzzless- lintless mutant and its wild-type allotetraploid cotton
(2017-01-31)
Cotton is one of the most important textile crops but little is known how microRNAs regulate cotton fiber development. Using a well-studied cotton fiberless mutant Xu-142-fl, we compared 54 miRNAs for their expression ...
Triclosan Disrupts SKN-1/Nrf2- Mediated Oxidative Stress Response in C. elegans and Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
(2017-10-03)
Triclosan (TCS), an antimicrobial chemical with potential endocrine-disrupting properties, may pose a risk to early embryonic development and cellular homeostasis during adulthood. Here, we show that TCS induces toxicity ...
Isolation and molecular identification of endophytic diazotrophs from seeds and stems of three cereal crops
(2017-10-30)
Ten strains of endophytic diazotroph were isolated and identified from the plants collected from three different agricultural crop species, wheat, rice and maize, using the nitrogen-free selective isolation conditions. The ...
Small RNA Sequencing Reveals Regulatory Roles of MicroRNAs in the Development of Meloidogyne incognita
(2019-11-02)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small regulatory RNAs. Knowing the
specific expression and functions of miRNAs during root-knot nematode (RKN) (Meloidogyne incognita)
development could provide fundamental ...
The infection and impact of Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(2017-11-30)
Based on our previous study, cereal crop wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) could be infected by rhizobia Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571, and form para-nodules with the induction of 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, a common plant ...
