Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of bHLH-MYC Family Genes from Mustard That May Be Important in Trichome Formation.

The trichomes of mustard leaves have significance due to their ability to combat unfavorable external conditions and enhance disease resistance. It was demonstrated that the MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) ternary complex consists of MYB, basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH), and WD40-repeat (WD40) family proteins and plays a key role in regulating trichome formation and density. The bHLH gene family, particularly the Myelocytomatosis (MYC) proteins that possess the structural bHLH domain (termed bHLH-MYC), are crucial to the formation and development of leaf trichomes in plants.

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of flowering regulation and vernalization in Chinese cabbage shoot apex.

In Chinese cabbage development the interplay between shoot apex activity and vernalization is pivotal for flowering timing. The intricate relationship between various cell types in the shoot apex meristem and their roles in regulating flowering gene expression in Chinese cabbage is not yet fully understood. A thorough analysis of single-cell types in the Chinese cabbage shoot apex and their influence on flowering genes and vernalization is essential for deeper insight.

Identification of long noncoding RNAs involved in plumule-vernalization of Chinese cabbage.

Vernalization is a phenomenon in which plants must undergo a period of continuous low temperatures to change from the vegetative growth stage to the reproductive growth stage. Chinese cabbage is a heading vegetable, and flowering time is an essential developmental trait. Premature vernalization leads to premature bolting, which causes a loss of product value and yield.

Transcriptome Analysis of Chinese Cabbage Provides Insights into the Basis of Understanding the Lignin Affected by Low Temperature.

Chinese cabbage, which is a cold season crop, can still be damaged at an overly low temperature. It is crucial to study the mechanism of the resistance to low temperature of Chinese cabbage. In this study, the Chinese cabbage 'XBJ' was used as the material, and nine different low temperatures and control samples were treated.

Mapping and Validation of : A Dominant Gene Regulating Carotenoid Accumulation in .

In plants, the accumulation of carotenoids can maintain the balance of the photosystem and improve crop nutritional quality. Therefore, the molecular mechanisms underlying carotenoid synthesis and accumulation should be further explored. In this study, carotenoid accumulation differed significantly among parental .

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of eIF Family Genes from in Response to TuMV Resistance.

is one of the most important leafy vegetables worldwide, and has a long history of cultivation. However, it has not been possible to completely control the damage of turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), a serious virus in , to production. In this study, the genome-wide identification and expression detection of eIF family genes from in response to TuMV resistance were analyzed, including the identification of eIF family genes, chromosomal distribution, three-dimensional (3D) structure and sequence logo analyses, and the expression characterization as well as differential metabolite analysis of eIF family genes in resistant/susceptible lines, which may further prove the whole-genome tripling (WGT) event in evolution and provide evidence for the functional redundancy and functional loss of multicopy eIF genes in evolution.

Mapping and identification of a new potential dominant resistance gene to turnip mosaic virus in Brassica rapa.

By constructing an F population, a new potential dominant resistance gene to TuMV in Brassica rapa was mapped and identified. Brassica rapa is the most widely grown vegetable crop in China, and turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is a great threat to its production. Hence, it is a very important work to excavate more and novel resistance genes in B.

Morphological characteristics and transcriptome analysis at different anther development stages of the male sterile mutant MS7-2 in Wucai (Brassica campestris L.).

Background: The discovery of male sterile materials is of great significance for the development of plant fertility research. Wucai (Brassica campestris L. ssp.

[Significance of a reversal expression of the angiopoietin-1 and 2 in oral squamous cell carcinoma].

Objective: To investigate the significance of Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) expression in angiogenesis, vessel maturation, progress and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Methods: The expression of Ang-1, Ang-2, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD34 and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) were studied in 62 human OSCCs, 30 adjacent noncancerous oral tissues and 10 normal oral mucosa by conventional immunohistochemistry. Microvessel density (MVD) and vessel maturation index (VMI) were also assessed with double-labeling immunohistochemistry staining against CD34, a marker of pan-endothelial cells, and that against alpha-SMA, a marker of mural cells (pericytes/smooth muscle cells).

Establishment of a soybean (Glycine max Merr. L) transposon-based mutagenesis repository.

Soybean is a major crop species providing valuable feedstock for food, feed and biofuel. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in developing genomic resources for soybean, including on-going efforts to sequence the genome. These efforts have identified a large number of soybean genes, most with unknown function.
