Unraveling the Guardians of Growth: A Comprehensive Analysis of the / and Gene Families in .

The auxin/indole-3-acetic acid () and auxin response factor () genes are two crucial gene families in the plant auxin signaling pathway. Nonetheless, there is limited knowledge regarding the and gene families in . In this study, we first identified 33 putative and 35 in the genome.

Deciphering aroma formation during flowering in nectar tree (): insights from integrated metabolome and transcriptome analysis.

is a significant ornamental and economically-important tree species, known for its fragrant flowers, which are a source of high-quality honey production. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in aroma formation during flower development in remains limited. The current study revealed the detection of plant hormones at every assessed stage of flower development.

Identification and Analysis of the Gene Family in Three Species of under Cold Stress.

The C-Repeat Binding Factor () gene family has been identified and characterized in multiple plant species, and it plays a crucial role in responding to low temperatures. Presently, only a few studies on tree species demonstrate the mechanisms and potential functions of associated with cold resistance, while our study is a novel report on the multi-aspect differences of among three tree species, compared to previous studies. In this study, genome-wide identification and analysis of the gene family in , , and were performed.

Transcriptomics Profiling of Molecular Mechanism against Freezing Stress.

Low temperature is an important environmental factor that affects the growth and development of trees and leads to the introduction of failure in the genetic improvement of trees. is a tree species that is well-known for its bright red autumn leaf color. These trees are widely used in landscaping in northeast China.

Physiological and Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed the Molecular Mechanism of Responses to Light.

Korean pine ( Sieb. et Zucc.), as the main tree species in northeast China, has important economic and ecological values.

Integrated Transcriptome and Metabolome Analyses Reveal the Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Pathway in Overexpression 84K Poplar.

× (84K poplar) is model material with excellent genetic engineering resource and ornamental value. In our study, () was overexpressed in 84K poplar, and the transgenic 84K (AM) poplar with high content of anthocyanin exhibited red pigmentation leaves. The transcriptome analysis between wild type (WT) and AM showed that 170 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (86 up-regulated and 84 down-regulated) were found, and some DEGs were involved in flavone and flavonol biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis and anthocyanin biosynthesis.

Morphological and Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Three Species of Five-Needle Pines: Insights Into Phenotypic Evolution and Phylogeny.

, , and are the major five-needle pines in northeast China, with substantial economic and ecological values. The phenotypic variation, environmental adaptability and evolutionary relationships of these three five-needle pines remain largely undecided. It is therefore important to study their genetic differentiation and evolutionary history.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer using the non-coplanar radiation of Cyberknife and Varian linac.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the planned dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for treating early peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using the non-coplanar radiation from Cyberknife and Varian linac. Moreover, this study investigates whether Cyberknife and Varian linac are qualified for non-coplanar radiation SBRT for treating early peripheral NSCLC, and which one is better for protecting organs at risk (OARs).

Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed based on the Cyberknife radiation treatment plans (RTPs) and Varian Eclipse RTPs of 10 patients diagnosed with early peripheral NSCLC.

Genetic and biochemical characterization of genes involved in hyaluronic acid synthesis in Streptococcus zooepidemicus.

The biosynthetic pathway for hyaluronic acid (HA) has been proposed; however, a thorough genetic and functional analysis is required to further elucidate the roles of genes involved in HA production. Previously, we developed a markerless gene-deletion system for Streptococcus zooepidemicus and confirmed that hasA is essential for HA synthesis. Here, we constructed a comprehensive set of deletion mutants and investigated the roles of ten additional predicted genes in the HA synthetic pathway.

Identification of the role of a MAP kinase Tmk2 in Hypocrea jecorina (Trichoderma reesei).

Despite the important role of MAPKs in signal transduction, their functions in the cellulase hyper-producing filamentous fungus Hypocrea jecorina haven't been studied except for the Hog1-like Tmk3. In this work, we constructed and explored the features of H. jecorina Δtmk2 to identify the role of this Slt2-homologous Tmk2.

Functional diversity of the p24γ homologue Erp reveals physiological differences between two filamentous fungi.

The protein hyper-secreting filamentous fungi impact their surrounding environments by secreting cellulases and digesting plant cell wall via microbe-plant interspecies interaction. This process is of paramount importance in biofuel production from the renewable lignocellulosic biomass, because cellulase production is the key factor in cost determination. Despite the importance of protein secretion, p24 protein, a key factor in eukaryotic protein maturation and secretion, was never investigated in filamentous fungi.

A mitogen-activated protein kinase Tmk3 participates in high osmolarity resistance, cell wall integrity maintenance and cellulase production regulation in Trichoderma reesei.

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are important signal transduction pathways conserved in essentially all eukaryotes, but haven't been subjected to functional studies in the most important cellulase-producing filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei. Previous reports suggested the presence of three MAPKs in T. reesei: Tmk1, Tmk2, and Tmk3.
