and Genes in Garlic ( L.): Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Stress Response.

Dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factors (TFs) of the A1 and A2 subfamilies involved in plant stress responses have not yet been reported in species. In this study, we used bioinformatics and comparative transcriptomics to identify and characterize A1 and A2 genes redundant in garlic ( L.) and analyze their expression in cultivars differing in the sensitivity to cold and infection.

Genome-Wide Identification, Expression, and Response to Infection of the Gene Family in Garlic ( L.).

Proteins of the SWEET (Sugar Will Eventually be Exported Transporters) family play an important role in plant development, adaptation, and stress response by functioning as transmembrane uniporters of soluble sugars. However, the information on the SWEET family in the plants of the genus, which includes many crop species, is lacking. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis of garlic ( L.

Gene in Maize ( L.): Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, Expression, and Stress Response.

Dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factors of the A2 subfamily play key roles in plant stress responses. In this study, we identified and characterized a new A2-type gene, , in the cv. B73 genome and compared its expression profile with those of the known A2-type maize genes .

Pathogenesis-Related Genes of PR1, PR2, PR4, and PR5 Families Are Involved in the Response to Infection in Garlic ( L.).

Plants of the genus developed a diversity of defense mechanisms against pathogenic fungi of the genus , including transcriptional activation of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes. However, the information on the regulation of PR factors in garlic ( L.) is limited.

× Transcriptome Profiling Reveals a Similarity Between the Evolutionary Origins of Carnivorous Traps and Floral Organs.

The emergence of the carnivory syndrome and traps in plants is one of the most intriguing questions in evolutionary biology. In the present study, we addressed it by comparative transcriptomics analysis of leaves and leaf-derived pitcher traps from a predatory plant × . Pitchers were collected at three stages of development and a total of 12 transcriptomes were sequenced and assembled .

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of leek L. (Amaryllidaceae).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of was determined by Illumina single-end sequencing. The complete plastid genome was 152,732 bp in length containing a large single copy (LSC) of 81,744 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 17,910 bp, which were separated by a pair of 26,524 bp inverted repeats (IRs). A total of 133 genes were annotated, including 80 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 7 pseudogenes.

The Genes of Leaf and Leaf-Like Organ Polarity in Leafless Plant .

is a mycoheterotrophic, nonphotosynthetic plant acquiring nutrients from the roots of autotrophic trees through mycorrhizal symbiosis, and, similar to other extant plants, forming asymmetrical lateral organs during development. The members of the YABBY family of transcription factors are important players in the establishment of leaf and leaf-like organ polarity in plants. This is the first report on the identification of genes in a mycoheterotrophic plant devoid of aboveground vegetative organs.

Characterization of the complete plastid genome of lop-sided onion L. (Amaryllidaceae).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of was determined by Illumina single-end sequencing. The complete plastid genome was 152,387 bp in length, containing a large single copy (LSC) of 81,588 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 18,059 bp, which were separated by a pair of 26,370 bp inverted repeats (IRs). A total of 134 genes were annotated, including 83 protein coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes, and five pseudogenes.

The loss of photosynthetic pathways in the plastid and nuclear genomes of the non-photosynthetic mycoheterotrophic eudicot Monotropa hypopitys.

Background: Chloroplasts of most plants are responsible for photosynthesis and contain a conserved set of about 110 genes that encode components of housekeeping gene expression machinery and photosynthesis-related functions. Heterotrophic plants obtaining nutrients from other organisms and their plastid genomes represent model systems in which to study the effects of relaxed selective pressure on photosynthetic function. The most evident is a reduction in the size and gene content of the plastome, which correlates with the loss of genes encoding photosynthetic machinery which become unnecessary.

transcriptome assembly of the mycoheterotrophic plant .

(pinesap) is a non-photosynthetic obligately mycoheterotrophic plant of the family . It obtains the carbon and other nutrients from the roots of surrounding autotrophic trees through the associated mycorrhizal fungi. In order to understand the evolutionary changes in the plant genome associated with transition to a heterotrophic lifestyle, we performed transcriptomic analysis of using next-generation sequencing.

The complete plastid genome sequence of garlic L.

The complete plastid genome sequence of garlic was determined using Illumina sequencing. The plastid DNA is 153,172 bp in length and includes a large single copy region (LSC) of 82,035 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,015 bp, which are separated by a pair of 26,561 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). In total, 134 genes are identified, containing 82 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes and six pseudogenes.
