Background: Root to shoot connection and transfer of information seems to be taken place mostly via the transmissions of signal molecules, secondary metabolites, amino acids, hormones and proteins, through xylem sap. Examination of earlier reports is indicative of relatively high levels of conservation in xylem sap protein compositions. Apparently these protein molecules are be...

Abstract The Betula genus contains pentacyclic triterpenoid betulin known for its environmental adaptation and medicinal properties. However, the mechanisms underlying biosynthesis responding to climate change remain unclear. In this study, role of epigenetic modification (DNA methylation) in was examined how climatic factors influence it. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing performed greenhouse-...

Temperate woody plants suffer environmental stresses caused by seasonal changes. Seasonal changes affect tree cambium activity, resulting in the annual periodicity of growth. In present study, we provide a model for plant hormone coordination monolignol biosynthesis to cope with poplar species. First, 27 core lignin-related genes were identified Populus tomentosa, and co-expression lignifying t...

To rationally design a productive heterologous biosynthesis system, it is essential to consider the suitability of foreign reactions for the specific endogenous metabolic infrastructure of a host. We developed a novel web server, called MRE, which, for a given pair of starting and desired compounds in a given chassis organism, ranks biosynthesis routes from the perspective of the integration of...

The morphology and secondary metabolism of Aspergillus spp. are associated with initial spore density (ISD). Fatty acids (FA) are involved in the biosynthesis of aflatoxins (AF) through Aspergillus quorum sensing (QS). Here, we studied how ochratoxin A (OTA) was regulated by spore density in Aspergillus ochraceus CGMCC 3.4412. The results contribute to understanding the role of spore density in...

Photosynthesis is an essential biological process and a key approach for raising crop yield. However, photosynthesis in rice not fully investigated. This study reported the photosynthetic properties transcriptomic profiles of chlorophyll (Chl) b-deficient mutant (ch11) wild-type (Oryza sativa L.). Chl revealed irregular chloroplast development (indistinct membranes, loss starch granules, thinne...

The phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium mangiferae belongs to the fujikuroi species complex (FFSC). Members of this group cause a wide spectrum devastating diseases on diverse agricultural crops. F. is causal agent mango malformation disease (MMD) and as such detrimental for agriculture in southern hemisphere. During plant infection, produces plethora bioactive secondary metabolites (SMs), which mo...
