Identification and expression analysis of TALE superfamily genes explore their key roles in response to abiotic stress in Brassica napus.

Background: The three-amino-acid-loop-extension (TALE) superfamily genes are broadly present in plants and play important roles in plant growth, development, and abiotic stress responses. So far, the TALE family in B.napus have not been systematically studied, especially their potential roles in response to abiotic stress.

Structural variation reshapes population gene expression and trait variation in 2,105 Brassica napus accessions.

Although individual genomic structural variants (SVs) are known to influence gene expression and trait variation, the extent and scale of SV impact across a species remain unknown. In the present study, we constructed a reference library of 334,461 SVs from genome assemblies of 16 representative morphotypes of neopolyploid Brassica napus accessions and detected 258,865 SVs in 2,105 resequenced genomes. Coupling with 5 tissue population transcriptomes, we uncovered 285,976 SV-expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) that associate with altered expression of 73,580 genes.

Unravelling alternative splicing patterns in susceptible and resistant Brassica napus lines in response to Xanthomonas campestris infection.

Background: Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an important oil and industrial crop worldwide. Black rot caused by the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv.

Global Transcriptome and Co-Expression Network Analyses Revealed Hub Genes Controlling Seed Size/Weight and/or Oil Content in Peanut.

Cultivated peanut ( L.) is an important economic and oilseed crop worldwide, providing high-quality edible oil and high protein content. Seed size/weight and oil content are two important determinants of yield and quality in peanut breeding.

Differential alternative splicing genes and isoform co-expression networks of under multiple abiotic stresses.

Alternative splicing (AS) is an important regulatory process that affects plant development and stress responses by greatly increasing the complexity of transcriptome and proteome. To understand how the AS landscape of changes in response to abiotic stresses, we investigated 26 RNA-seq libraries, including control and treatments with cold, dehydration, salt, and abscisic acid (ABA) at two different time points, to perform comparative alternative splicing analysis. Apparently, AS events increased under all stresses except dehydration for 1 h, and intron retention was the most common AS mode.

The plant trans-Golgi network component ECHIDNA regulates defense, cell death, and endoplasmic reticulum stress.

The trans-Golgi network (TGN) acts as a central platform for sorting and secreting various cargoes to the cell surface, thus being essential for the full execution of plant immunity. However, the fine-tuned regulation of TGN components in plant defense and stress response has been not fully elucidated. Our study revealed that despite largely compromising penetration resistance, the loss-of-function mutation of the TGN component protein ECHIDNA (ECH) induced enhanced postinvasion resistance to powdery mildew in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The Characterization of the Gene Family Associated with Resistance to in .

In plants, phloem is not only a vital structure that is used for nutrient transportation, but it is also the location of a response that defends against various stresses, named phloem-based defense (PBD). Phloem proteins (PP2s) are among the predominant proteins in phloem, indicating their potential functional role in PBD. Sclerotinia disease (SD), which is caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen , is a devastating disease that affects oil crops, especially mainly by blocking nutrition and water transportation through xylem and phloem.

Genome-Wide Characterization of Serine/Arginine-Rich Gene Family and Its Genetic Effects on Agronomic Traits of .

Serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins are indispensable factors for RNA splicing, and they play important roles in development and abiotic stress responses. However, little information on genes in is available. In this study, 59 genes were identified and classified into seven subfamilies: SR, SCL, RS2Z, RSZ, RS, SR45, and SC.

Travel time prediction of urban public transportation based on detection of single routes.

Improving travel time prediction for public transit effectively enhances service reliability, optimizes travel structure, and alleviates traffic problems. Its greater time-variance and uncertainty make predictions for short travel times (≤35min) more subject to be influenced by random factors. It requires higher precision and is more complicated than long-term predictions.

SNP- and Haplotype-Based GWAS of Flowering-Related Traits in .

Traits related to flowering time are the most promising agronomic traits that directly impact the seed yield and oil quality of rapeseed ( L.). Developing early flowering and maturity rapeseed varieties is an important breeding objective in .

Mapping of a major QTL controlling plant height using a high-density genetic map and QTL-seq methods based on whole-genome resequencing in Brassica napus.

Plant height is a crucial element related to plant architecture that influences the seed yield of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). In this study, we isolated a natural B.
