Identification, characterisation and expression analysis of peanut sugar invertase genes reveal their vital roles in response to abiotic stress.

Sucrose invertase activity is positively related to osmotic and salt stress resistance in peanut. Sucrose invertases (INVs) have important functions in plant growth and response to environmental stresses. However, their biological roles in peanut are still not fully revealed.

Constitutive expression of AtSINA2 from Arabidopsis improves grain yield, seed oil and drought tolerance in transgenic soybean.

The SEVEN IN Absentia (SINA), a typical member of the RING E3 ligase family, plays a crucial role in plant growth, development and response to abiotic stress. However, its biological functions in oil crops are still unknown. Previously, we reported that overexpression of AtSINA2 in Arabidopsis positively regulated the drought tolerance of transgenic plants.

Molecular characterization of a novel strain of protecting wheat from sheath blight disease caused by .

Unlabelled: naturally infects and causes Sheath blight disease in cereal crops such as wheat, rice and maize, leading to severe reduction in grain yield and quality. In this work, a new bacterial strain LDFZ001 showing efficient antagonistic activity against the pathogenic strain sh-1 was isolated. Antagonistic, phylogenetic and whole genome sequencing analyses demonstrate that LDFZ001 strongly suppressed the growth of sh-1, showed a close evolutionary relationship with F41-3, and possessed a 3,965,118 bp circular chromosome.

UBE2B promotes ovarian cancer growth via promoting RAD18 mediated ZMYM2 monoubiquitination and stabilization.

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 B (UBE2B) can form a heterodimer with ubiquitin E3 ligase RAD18. In this study, we aimed to explore new substrates of the UBE2B/RAD18 complex and their regulatory effects in ovarian cancer. Protein physical interactions were predicted using GeneMANIA.

Genome Sequence Data of , a Causal Agent of Peanut Scorch Spot in China.

Peanut scorch spot caused by is one of the most severe leaf diseases of peanut that causes significant yield loss. Here, we report the first high-quality genome sequence of JB313 isolated from an infected peanut leaf in China. The genome size is 47.

Foliar Spraying with Compound Amino Acid-Iron Fertilizer Increases Leaf Fresh Weight, Photosynthesis, and Fe-S Cluster Gene Expression in Peach ( (L.) Batsch).

As one of the most important micronutrients, iron (Fe) plays a critical role in various metabolic processes during plant growth and development. However, the molecular mechanisms towards Fe metabolism and nutrition in fruit trees are largely unknown. In this study, we examined the effects of amino acid-Fe compound fertilizer spraying on leaf development in peach ( (L.

Constitutive expression of GmF6'H1 from soybean improves salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis.

Coumarin plays a pivotal role in plant response to biotic stress, as well as in the mediation of nutrient acquisition. However, its functions in response to abiotic stresses are largely unknown. In this work, a homologous gene, GmF6'H1, of AtF6'H1, which encodes the enzyme catalyzing the final rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis pathway of coumarin, was isolated from soybean.

The importin α subunit PsIMPA1 mediates the oxidative stress response and is required for the pathogenicity of Phytophthora sojae.

The sensing of extracellular signals and their transduction into an appropriate response are crucial for the survival and virulence of plant pathogens. Eukaryotic plant pathogens must overcome the obstacles posed by nuclear membranes to manipulate gene expression to adapt to the host challenge. A highly sophisticated mechanism is the use of importins to transport proteins into the nucleus.

The heat shock transcription factor PsHSF1 of Phytophthora sojae is required for oxidative stress tolerance and detoxifying the plant oxidative burst.

In the interaction between plant and microbial pathogens, reactive oxygen species (ROS) rapidly accumulate upon pathogen recognition at the infection site and play a central role in plant defence. However, the mechanisms that plant pathogens use to counteract ROS are still poorly understood especially in oomycetes, filamentous organisms that evolved independently from fungi. ROS detoxification depends on transcription factors (TFs) that are highly conserved in fungi but much less conserved in oomycetes.

Transient silencing mediated by in vitro synthesized double-stranded RNA indicates that PsCdc14 is required for sporangial development in a soybean root rot pathogen.

In many eukaryotic organisms, Cdc14 phosphatase regulates multiple biological events during anaphase and is essential for mitosis. It has been shown that Cdc14 is required for sporulation in the potato blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans; however, the role that the Cdc14 homolog (PsCdc14) plays in the soil-borne soybean root rot pathogen P. sojae remains ambiguous.

Transcriptional programming and functional interactions within the Phytophthora sojae RXLR effector repertoire.

The genome of the soybean pathogen Phytophthora sojae contains nearly 400 genes encoding candidate effector proteins carrying the host cell entry motif RXLR-dEER. Here, we report a broad survey of the transcription, variation, and functions of a large sample of the P. sojae candidate effectors.

The PsCZF1 gene encoding a C2H2 zinc finger protein is required for growth, development and pathogenesis in Phytophthora sojae.

The C(2)H(2) zinc finger proteins form one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in eukaryotes. We identified a Phytophthora sojae C(2)H(2) zinc finger (PsCZF1), that is highly conserved in sequenced oomycete pathogens. In transformants of P.
