Comprehensive Genome-Wide Analysis and Expression Pattern Profiling of Gene Family Members in L. under Multiple Abiotic Stresses.

PLATZ (plant AT-rich sequence and zinc-binding) family proteins with two conserved zinc-dependent DNA-binding motifs are transcription factors specific to the plant kingdom. The functions of PLATZ proteins in growth, development, and adaptation to multiple abiotic stresses have been investigated in various plant species, but their role in tomato has not been explored yet. In the present work, 20 non-redundant Solanum lycopersicum PLATZ (SlPLATZ) genes with three segmentally duplicated gene pairs and four tandemly duplicated gene pairs were identified on eight tomato chromosomes.

Comprehensive Genome-Wide Analysis and Expression Pattern Profiling of the Gene Family Unravels Their Likely Involvement in the Abiotic Stress Adaptation of Tomato.

HVA22 family proteins with a conserved TB2/DP1/HVA22 domain are ubiquitous in eukaryotes. family genes have been identified in a variety of plant species. However, there has been no comprehensive genome-wide analysis of family genes in tomato ( L.

Genome-wide identification and expression profiling of Alba gene family members in response to abiotic stress in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.).

Background: Alba (Acetylation lowers binding affinity) proteins are an ancient family of nucleic acid-binding proteins that function in gene regulation, RNA metabolism, mRNA translatability, developmental processes, and stress adaptation. However, comprehensive bioinformatics analysis on the Alba gene family of Solanum lycopersicum has not been reported previously.

Results: In the present study, we undertook the first comprehensive genome-wide characterization of the Alba gene family in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.

Genome-wide identification, genomic organization, and expression profiling of the CONSTANS-like (COL) gene family in petunia under multiple stresses.

Background: CONSTANS-like (CO-like, COL) are putative zinc-finger transcription factors known to play vital role in various plant biological processes such as control of flowering time, regulation of plant growth and development and responses to stresses. However, no systematic analysis of COL family gene regarding the plant development and stress response has been previously performed in any solanaceous crop. In the present study, a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of COL family genes in petunia has been conducted to figure out their roles in development of organs and stress response.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Profiling of the Gene Family Reveals Their Probable Involvement in Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Tomato ( L.).

Protein disulfide isomerases (PDI) and PDI-like proteins catalyze the formation and isomerization of protein disulfide bonds in the endoplasmic reticulum and prevent the buildup of misfolded proteins under abiotic stress conditions. In the present study, we conducted the first comprehensive genome-wide exploration of the gene family in tomato ( L.).

Induces Flowering in Rice by Modulating Expression of .

Rice is a facultative short-day (SD) plant in which flowering is induced under SD conditions or by other environmental factors and internal genetic programs. Overexpression of () accelerates flowering in hybrid rice. In this study, mutants defective in flowered late under both SD and long-day conditions.

Chromatin interacting factor OsVIL2 increases biomass and rice grain yield.

Grain number is an important agronomic trait. We investigated the roles of chromatin interacting factor Oryza sativa VIN3-LIKE 2 (OsVIL2), which controls plant biomass and yield in rice. Mutations in OsVIL2 led to shorter plants and fewer grains whereas its overexpression (OX) enhanced biomass production and grain numbers when compared with the wild type.

KNOX Protein OSH15 Induces Grain Shattering by Repressing Lignin Biosynthesis Genes.

Seed shattering is an agronomically important trait. Two major domestication factors are responsible for this: qSH1 and SH5. Whereas qSH1 functions in cell differentiation in the abscission zone (AZ), a major role of SH5 is the repression of lignin deposition.
