Genomic identification, evolutionary analysis, and transcript profiling of protein phosphatase 2C in Solanum lycopersicum.

Protein phosphatases (PPs) are a class of enzymes that play a critical role in cellular regulation by catalyzing the removal of phosphate groups from proteins. This dephosphorylation process is essential for controlling and modulating various cellular functions, including signal transduction, cell cycle progression, metabolic regulation, and stress responses. This study focuses on the comprehensive genomic identification, evolutionary analysis, and transcript profiling of the PP2C gene family within Solanum lycopersicum, an economically significant crop with substantial agricultural and nutritional importance.

Transcript profiling of glutathione metabolizing genes reveals abiotic stress and glutathione-specific alteration in and rice.

Unlabelled: Homoeostasis of glutathione (GSH) is crucial for plant survival and adaptability against stress. Despite the presence of complete and rice genome sequence, the comprehensive analysis of the GSH metabolizing genes is still missing. This research concentrated on the comprehensive understanding of GSH metabolizing genes in two model plants- and rice in terms of their subcellular localization, exon-intron distribution, protein domain structure, and transcript abundance.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily in sorghum: genome-wide identification, evolution, and transcript profiling during development stages and stress conditions.

Background: Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are a family of NAD(P) dependent enzymes that detoxify aldehydes by promoting their oxidation to respective carboxylic acids. The role of ALDH enzymes in various plant species has been extensively studied, revealing their critical role in salinity, drought, heat, and heavy metal stress tolerance. Despite their physiological significance, ALDH genes in Sorghum bicolor have yet to be studied thoroughly.

Evolution, family expansion, and functional diversification of plant aldehyde dehydrogenases.

Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) act as "aldehyde scavengers" in plants, eliminating reactive aldehydes and hence performing a crucial part in response to stress. ALDH has been specified multiple activities since its identification in the mammalian system 72 years ago. But the most widely researched role in plants is their engagement in stress tolerance.

Genome-wide identification, evolution, and transcript profiling of Aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily in potato during development stages and stress conditions.

The Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily comprises a group of enzymes involved in the scavenging of toxic aldehyde molecules by converting them into their corresponding non-toxic carboxylic acids. A genome-wide study in potato identified a total of 22 ALDH genes grouped into ten families that are presented unevenly throughout all the 12 chromosomes. Based on the evolutionary analysis of ALDH proteins from different plant species, ALDH2 and ALDH3 were found to be the most abundant families in the plant, while ALDH18 was found to be the most distantly related one.

Genome-wide identification and expression profiling of glutathione S-transferase family under multiple abiotic and biotic stresses in Medicago truncatula L.

Glutathione transferases (GSTs) constitute an ancient, ubiquitous, multi-functional antioxidant enzyme superfamily that has great importance on cellular detoxification against abiotic and biotic stresses as well as plant development and growth. The present study aimed to a comprehensive genome-wide identification and functional characterization of GST family in one of the economically important legume plants-Medicago truncatula. Here, we have identified a total of ninety-two putative MtGST genes that code for 120 proteins.

Max-depth-range technique for faster full-color hologram generation.

In this paper, a max-depth-range method is proposed to determine the optimum length of depth range for faster generation of full-color holograms. For each color channel, objects are divided by a fixed length to create a temporary depth range, and the wavefront recording plane (WRP) is placed in the middle of all layers within the temporary depth range. The proposed method is used to calculate full-color holograms significantly faster than a conventional multiple-WRP method but with almost the same reconstructed image quality.

Quality enhancement and GPU acceleration for a full-color holographic system using a relocated point cloud gridding method.

The calculation of realistic full-color holographic displays is hindered by the high computational cost. Previously, we suggested a point cloud gridding (PCG) method to calculate monochrome holograms of real objects. In this research, a relocated point cloud gridding (R-PCG) method is proposed to enhance the reconstruction quality and accelerate the calculation speed in GPU for a full-color holographic system.
