The total proteins of Leymus chinensis were extracted from eight-week-old seedlings grown in the greenhouse by TCA-acetone precipitation method. After the lysis buffer was replaced by the start buffer, proteins were fractionated along the first dimension using chromatofocusing (CF). Subsequently the fractions with pI values between 8.5 and 4.0 collected after the first dimension separation were further fractionated by nonporous silica reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NPS-RP-HPLC, HPRP). With ProteoVue software the pI/UV map was generated to show the protein expression profile of Leymus chinensis. Some experiments were tested to optimize the fraction procedure. Three different elution gradients were employed to get the optimal chromatogram. Comparison of the protein expression pattern between 2D-PAGE and 2D-LC indicated that 2D-LC was a powerful tool in protein fraction. Reproducibility and veracity of the protein patterns were confirmed in different injections of the same sample. A method to fractionate the total protein of Leymus chinensis shoot with two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) was founded.

Mowing is a primary practice in temperate meadows, which are severely degraded due to frequent mowing, overgrazing, and other factors, necessitating restoration and sustainable management. The natural recovery of these grasslands hinges on their germinable soil seed banks, which form the basis for future productivity. Thus, germinable soil seed banks are critical for restoring overexploited meadows.

Mowing significantly influences nutrient cycling and stimulates metabolic adjustments in plants to promote regrowth. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are crucial for enhancing plant growth, nutrient absorption, and stress resilience; however, whether inoculation with PGPR after mowing can enhance plant regrowth capacity further, as well as its specific regulatory mechanisms, remains unexplored. In this study, PGPR (B13) was inoculated into mowed to evaluate its effects on phenotypic traits, root nutrient contents, and hormone levels during the regrowth process and to further explore its role in the regrowth of after mowing.

Virus-induced genome editing (VIGE) technologies have been developed to address the limitations to plant genome editing, which heavily relies on genetic transformation and regeneration. However, the application of VIGE in plants is hampered by the challenge posed by the size of the commonly used gene editing nucleases, Cas9 and Cas12a. To overcome this challenge, we employed intein-mediated protein splicing to divide the transcript into two segments (Split-v1) and three segments (Split-v3).

Oil bodies are dynamic organelles in plant seeds. Oil body-associated protein (OBAP) is involved in regulating the size and vitality of oil bodies in overwintering seeds, and affects lipid mobilization and stress resistance during seed germination. In this study, we cloned an oil body associated protein gene LcOBAP2B (Leymus chinensis oil body associated protein 2B).

Alkaline salts have more severe adverse effects on plant growth and development than neutral salts do. However, the adaptive mechanisms of plants to alkaline salt stress remain poorly understood, especially at the molecular level. The Songnen Plain in northeast China is composed of typical 'soda' saline-alkali soil, with NaHCO and NaCO as the predominant alkaline salts (pH ≥ 9.
