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 ...
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 ...
Effects of aluminum oxide nanoparticles on the growth, development, and microrna expression of tobacco (nicotiana tabacum)
(2012-05-11)
Nanoparticles are a class of newly emerging environmental pollutions. To date, few experiments have been conducted to investigate the effect nanoparticles may have on plant growth and development. It is important to study ...
De Novo Transcriptome Assembly and Comparative Analysis Elucidate Complicated Mechanism Regulating Astragalus chrysochlorus Response to Selenium Stimuli
(2015)
Astragalus species are medicinal plants that are used in the world for years. Some Astragalus species are known for selenium accumulation and tolerance and one of them is
Astragalus chrysochlorus, a secondary selenium ...
Deep sequencing reveals important roles of microRNAs in response to drought and salinity stress in cotton
(2015-02)
Drought and salinity are two major environmental factors adversely affecting plant growth and productivity. However, the regulatory mechanism is unknown. In this study, the potential roles of small regulatory microRNAs ...
Integrated transcriptome, small RNA and degradome sequencing approaches provide insights into Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea
(2018-10-16)
Ascochyta blight (AB) is one of the major biotic stresses known to limit the chickpea production worldwide. To dissect the complex mechanisms of AB resistance in chickpea, three approaches, namely, transcriptome, small RNA ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
