700 (95.92%) were annotated in Nr database. The functions of the predicted unigenes were classified using GO, COG, and KEGG assignments. 42,588 unigene (79.01%) were annotated by GO into three major categories (cellular components, molecular functions, and biological process) and 52 subcategori...
AtMYB46, a close homologue of EgMYB2 and PtMYB4, appears to be a key switch in mediating the biosynthesis of the three major components of secondary walls (i.e. cellulose, hemicellulose/xylan and lignin) through the control of downstream, pathway-specific MYB and other transcription factors ...
plant-based medicines predominate in natural medicine, whereas animal, mineral, and other forms of natural medicines are used to a relatively lesser extent. Over time, various applied systematic theories have evolved
Clade V can be divided into three groups (Groups I–III), among which Group I contains all known BAHD acyltransferases in the paclitaxel biosynthesis pathway (Supplementary Fig. 5). It would be worthwhile to investigate whether Group I contains other acyltransferases that function in paclitaxel ...
HRGPs represent a major protein component of plant cell walls [8]. They are rich in hydroxyproline but also in serine, lysine, tyrosine, and valine residues, and they contain arabinose and galactose in the attached oligosaccharide chains [31–33]. Extensins represent a subfamily of HRGPs. ...
The domestication of tomato has led to striking variations in fruit morphology. Here, we show a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to understand the development of the fruit tip and describe a POINTED TIP (PT) gene that encodes a C2H2-type zinc finger
Here we first grow three Medicago genotypes from natural populations in each of two native soils in a common garden experiment to ask: (1) To what extent do plant genotype and soil origin structure the microbiome? (2) Do plant compartments (rhizosphere, root endosphere, nodule endosphere, ...
“You plant it at any time, you harvest it at any time. That’s why they call it the tree against hunger.”There is growing interest in seeking new plants to feed the world, given our reliance on a few staple crops. Nearly half of all the calories we eat come from three species -...
The collapsed clades do not contain genes encoding the digestive fluid proteins but may contain other Cephalotus genes as well as non-carnivorous plant genes. Complete trees are available in Supplementary Fig. 5. c,d, Transcriptome comparison of flat and pitcher organs in Cephalotus (c) and N....
Transcriptional activity of the GmWRKY100 promoter was calculated as LUC to REN ratio of three biological replicates. Measurement of chlorophyll content The measurement of chlorophyll content was performed as described previously43. Briefly, 0.2 g of fresh sample of each indicated plant was frozen...
