Functional Characterization of Plant Peptide-Containing Sulfated Tyrosine (PSY) Family in Wheat ( L.).

The plant peptide-containing sulfated tyrosine (PSY) family plays critical roles in plant cell proliferation and stress responses. However, the functional characterization of the PSY peptide family in wheat remains unclear. This study systematically identified a total of 29 genes at the genome-wide level, classifying them into six subgroups based on PSY-like motifs.

Pleiotropic phenotypic effects of the TaCYP78A family on multiple yield-related traits in wheat.

Increasing crop yield depends on selecting and utilizing pleiotropic genes/alleles to improve multiple yield-related traits (YRTs) during crop breeding. However, synergistic improvement of YRTs is challenging due to the trade-offs between YRTs in breeding practices. Here, the favourable haplotypes of the TaCYP78A family are identified by analysing allelic variations in 1571 wheat accessions worldwide, demonstrating the selection and utilization of pleiotropic genes to improve yield and related traits during wheat breeding.

Plays as a Time Regulator of Leaf Growth via Auxin Signaling.

The growth of leaves is subject to strict time regulation. Several genes influencing leaf growth have been identified, but little is known about how genes regulate the orderly initiation and growth of leaves. Here, we demonstrate that contributes to a time regulation mechanism in leaves from initiation to expansion.

, a Rapeseed Gene Encoding APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR, Regulates Plant Architecture through Auxin Accumulation in the Apex in .

Plant architecture is crucial for rapeseed breeding. Here, we demonstrate the involvement of , a transcription factor for ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERF), in the regulation of plant architecture in . is a member of the ERF family group X-a, encoding a putative 252-amino acid (aa) protein, which harbours the AP2/ERF domain and the conserved CMX-1 motif.

Modified expression of TaCYP78A5 enhances grain weight with yield potential by accumulating auxin in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Increasing grain yield has always been the primary goal of crop breeding. KLUH/CYP78A5 has been shown to affect seed size in several plant species, but the relevant molecular mechanism is still unclear and there are no reports of this gene contributing to yield. Here, we demonstrate that modified expression of TaCYP78A5 can enhance wheat grain weight and grain yield per plant by accumulating auxin.

Global transcriptome analysis uncovers the gene co-expression regulation network and key genes involved in grain development of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Wheat grain development is a robust biological process that largely determines grain quality and yield. In this study, we investigated the grain transcriptome of winter wheat cv. Xiaoyan-6 at four developmental stages (5, 10, 15, and 20 days post-anthesis), using high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq).

Identification and Functional Characterization of Promoter Binding Protein-Like Gene in Wheat ( L.).

Wheat ( L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. promoter binding protein-like (SPL) proteins are plant-specific transcript factors and play critical roles in plant growth and development.

Curcumin combined with oxaliplatin effectively suppress colorectal carcinoma in vivo through inducing apoptosis.

Studies have shown chemopreventive and/or chemotherapeutic effects of several curcumin-based combinatorial treatments on colorectal cancer cells. However, their in vivo effects remain unclear. This study has demonstrated the therapeutic effect of curcumin and oxaliplatin, alone or in combination, on subcutaneously xenografted LoVo human colorectal cancer cells in immunodeficient (nu/nu) mice in vivo.
