| 1 | Genome analysis of Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin provides new insights into rubber biosynthesis显示文摘The Russian dandelion Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin(TKS), a member of the Composite family and a potential alternative source of natural rubber(NR) and inulin, is an ideal model system for studying rubber biosynthesis. Here we present the draft genome of TKS, the first assembled NR-producing weed plant. The draft TKS genome assembly has a length of 1.29 Gb, containing 46 731 predicted protein-coding genes and68.56% repeats, in which the LTR-RT elements predominantly contribute to the genome enlargement. We analyzed the heterozygous regions/genes, suggesting its possible involvement in inbreeding depression.Through comparative studies between rubber-producing and non-rubber-producing plants, we found that enzymes of the mevalonate(MVA) pathway and rubber elongation might be critical for rubber biosynthesis, and several key isoforms have been isolated and shown to be predominantly expressed in the latex, indicating their crucial functions in rubber biosynthesis. Moreover, for two important families in rubber elongation, the CPT/CPTL and REF/SRPP families, diverse evolutionary tracks have been revealed. These results provide valuable resources and new insights into the mechanism of NR biosynthesis,and facilitate the development of alternative NR-producing crops. | Tao Lin Xia Xu Jue Ruan Shizhong Liu Shigang Wu Xiujuan Shao Xiaobo Wang Lin Gan Bi Qin Yushuang Yang Zhukuan Cheng Suhua Yang Zhonghua Zhang Guosheng Xiong Sanwen Huang Hong Yu Jiayang Li | 2018 | National Science Review2018,5,1: | 22 |
| 2 | Characterization of SoxB2 and SoxC genes in Amphi-oxus (Branchiostoma belcheri):Implications for their evolutionary conservation显示文摘Most Sox genes directly affect cell fate determination and differentiation. In this study,we isolated two Sox genes:SoxB2 and SoxC from amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri),the closest living invertebrate relative of the vertebrates. Alignments of SoxB2 and SoxC protein sequences and their vertebrate homologs show high conservation of their HMG domains. Phylogenic analysis shows that amphioxus SoxB2 and SoxC fall out of the vertebrate branches,suggesting that vertebrate homologs might arise from gene duplications during evolution. The two genes possess similar spatial and temporal expression patterns during embryogenesis and in adults. They are both maternally inherited. During neurulation,they are expressed in the neural ectoderm and archenterons. In adults,they are expressed not only in the nerve cord,but also in the gut,midgut diverticulum,gill and oocytes. These results suggest that amphioxus SoxB2 and SoxC might co-function and have conserved functions in the nervous system and gonads as their vertebrate homologs. | LIN YuShuang,CHEN DongYan,FAN QiuSheng & ZHANG HongWei Institute of Developmental Biology,Life Science College,Key Lab of Experimental Teratology of Ministry of Education,Shandong University,Jinan 250100,China | 2009 | Science China(Life Sciences)2009,52,9: | 4 |
| 3 | Characterization of the immune defense related tissues,cells,and genes in amphioxus显示文摘Amphioxus is an important animal model for phylogenetic analysis,including comparative immunology.Exploring the immune system in amphioxus contributes to our understanding of the origin and evolution of the vertebrate immune system.We investigated the amphioxus immune system using ultrastructural examination and in situ hybridization.The expression patterns of TLR1(toll-like receptor 1),C1Q(complement component 1,q subcomponent),ECSIT(evolutionarily conserved signaling intermediate in Toll pathways),SoxC,DDAHa(Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase a),and NOS(nitric oxide synthase) show that these genes play key roles in amphioxus immunity.Our results suggest that the epidermis and alimentary canal epithelium may play important roles in immune defense,while macrophages located in the coelom and so-called lymph spaces may also be crucial immune cells. | LIN YuShuang CHEN DongYan ZHANG Wei CAI ZhaoPing CHEN ZhongKe ZHANG Ning MAO BingYu ZHANG HongWei | 2011 | Science China(Life Sciences)2011,54,11: | 2 |

| 5 | The complexities of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis and its regulation in plants显示文摘Proanthocyanidins(PAs)are natural flavan-3-ol polymers that contribute protection to plants under biotic and abiotic stress,benefits to human health,and bitterness and astringency to food products.They are also potential targets for carbon sequestration for climate mitigation.In recent years,from model species to commercial crops,research has moved closer to elucidating the flux control and channeling,subunit biosynthesis and polymerization,transport mechanisms,and regulatory networks involved in plant PA metabolism.This review extends the conventional understanding with recent findings that provide new insights to address lingering questions and focus strategies for manipulating PA traits in plants. | Keji Yu Yushuang Song Jinxing Lin Richard A.Dixon | 2023 | Plant Communications2023,4,2: | 0 |
