1Expression of NAC1 up-stream regulatory region and its relationship to the lateral root initiation induced by gibberellins and auxins显示文摘A 1050 bp up-stream regulatory fragment of the transcription factor gene NAC1 in Arabidopsis thaliana was isolated using polymerase chain reaction(PCR)based techniques.The fragment was used to substitute the 35S promoter of the pBI121 plasmid to construct a β-glucuronidase gene(GUS)expression system.The construct was introduced into tobacco(Nico- tiana tabaccum)plants by the Agrobacterium-mediated transferring method.GUS expression pattern was studied by using the transgenic lines.The results showed that the GUS driven by the NAC1 up-stream regulatory region was specifically expressed in the root meristem region,basal areas of the lateral root primordium and the lateral roots.The GUS expression was induced by 3-indolebutyric acid (IBA)and gibberellins(GA3 and GA4+7).The results indicated that the up-stream regulatory fragment of NAC1 responded to plant hormones.The fragment might be involved in both auxins and gibberel- lins signaling in promoting the development of lateral roots.WANG Youhua 1 ,DUAN Liusheng 1 ,LU Mengzhu 2 ,LI Zhaohu 1 ,WANG Minjie 2 &ZHAI Zhixi 1 1.State Key Laboratory of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry,Department of Agronomy,College of Agronomy and Biotech- nology,China Agricultural University,Beijing 100094,China 2.Forestry Institute,Chinese Academy of Forestry,Beijing 100091,China 2006Science China(Life Sciences)2006,49,5:5
2The SOC1-like gene BoMADS50 is associated with the flowering of Bambusa oldhamii显示文摘Bamboo is known for its edible shoots and beautiful texture and has considerable economic and ornamental value.Unique among traditional flowering plants,many bamboo plants undergo extensive synchronized flowering followed by large-scale death,seriously affecting the productivity and application of bamboo forests.To date,the molecular mechanism of bamboo flowering characteristics has remained unknown.In this study,a SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1(SOC1)-like gene,BoMADS50,was identified from Bambusa oldhamii.BoMADS50 was highly expressed in mature leaves and the floral primordium formation period during B.oldhamii flowering and overexpression of BoMADS50 caused early fl owering in transgenic rice.Moreover,BoMADS50 could interact with APETALA1/FRUITFULL(AP1/FUL)-like proteins(BoMADS 14-1/2,BoMADS15-1/2)in vivo,and the expression of BoMADS50 was signi ficantly promoted by BoMADS14-1,further indicating a synergistic effect between BoMADS50 and BoAP1/FUL-like proteins in regulating B.oldhamii flowering.We also identi fi ed four additional transcripts of BoMADS50(BoMADS50-1/2/3/4)with different nucleotide variations.Although the protein-CDS were polymorphic,they had flowering activation functions similar to those of BoMADS50.Yeast one-hybrid and transient expression assays subsequently showed that both BoMADS50 and BoMADS50-1 bind to the promoter fragment of itself and the SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE(SVP)-like gene BoSVP,but only BoMADS50-1 can positively induce their transcription.Therefore,nucleotide variations likely endow BoMADS50-1 with strong regulatory activity.Thus,BoMADS50 and BoMADS50-1/2/3/4 are probably important positive flowering regulators in B.oldhamii.Moreover,the functional conservatism and speci ficity of BoMADS50 and BoMADS50-1 might be related to the synchronized and sporadic flowering characteristics of B.oldhamii.Dan Hou Ling Li Tengfei Ma Jialong Pei Zhongyu Zhao Mengzhu Lu Aimin Wu Xinchun Lin 2021Horticulture Research2021,8,1:4
3An Arabidopsis thaliana (Ler) inbred line AFDL exhibiting abnormal flower development mainly caused by reduced AP1 expression显示文摘The genetic network controlling flowering and flower development consists of a set of floral integrator genes that play a role in light sensing,hormone signaling and developmental pathways.These integrators activate the expression of meristem identity genes LEAFY (LFY) and APETALA1 (AP1) to initiate the flowering transition.However,how the expression of key genes,such as AP1,responds to diverse signals during flower development remains largely unknown.Here,we report that an Arabidopsis abnormal flower development inbred line (AFDL) exhibits a phenotype similar to the ap1 mutant,with delayed flowering time and a high frequency of transition of flower meristems into inflorescence meristems after flowering.The flower organs with an abnormal first whorl lack the second whorl and the increased number of inflorescences at the first-and second-whorl positions most closely resembled the phenotypes of ap1/cal double mutants.Interestingly,both normal and abnormal flowers coexisted in a single individual.Microarray and quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that the expression of AP1 was significantly reduced,while the expression of its interacting genes TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1),SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP),AGAMOUS-like 24 (AGL24),SEPALLATA (SEP) and CAULIFLOWER (CAL) and upstream genes FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) and FLM were increased in AFDL,which could serve to explain its phenotype.The expression of genes responsive to different stimuli dramatically changed in AFDL relative to the wild type,as revealed by the differential display of transcripts,indicating that this expression variation is subject to a threshold,leading to an on/off expression pattern of the master regulatory gene (such as AP1) of flower development.QI XiaoLi JIANG Yao TANG Fang WANG MinJie HU JianJun ZHAO ShuTang SHA Wei LU MengZhu 2011Chinese Science Bulletin2011,56,1:4
4PagGRF12a interacts with PagGIF1b to regulate secondary xylem development through modulating PagXND1a expression in Populus alba×P.glandulosa显示文摘Growth-regulating factors(GRFs)are important regulators of plant development and growth,but their possible roles in xylem development in woody plants remain unclear.Here,we report that Populus alba×Papulus glandulosa PagGRF12a negatively regulates xylem development in poplar.PagGRF12a is expressed in vascular tissues.Compared to non-transgenic control plants,transgenic poplar plants overexpressing PagGRF12a exhibited reduced xylem width and plants with repressed expression of PagGRF12a exhibited increased xylem width.Xylem NAC domain 1(XND1)encodes a NAC domain transcription factor that regulates xylem development and transcriptional analyses revealed that PagXND1a is highly upregulated in PagGRF12a-overexpressing plants and downregulated in PagGRF12a-suppressed plants,indicating that PagGRF12a may regulate xylem development through PagXND1a.Transient transcriptional assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation-polymerase chain reaction assays confirmed that PagGRF12a directly upregulates PagXND1a.In addition,PagGRF12a interacts with the GRF-Interacting Factor(GIF)PagGIF1b,and this interaction enhances the effects of PagGRF12a on PagXND1a.Our results indicate that PagGRF12a inhibits xylem development by upregulating the expression of PagXND1a.Jinnan Wang Houjun Zhou Yanqiu Zhao Cheng Jiang Jihong Li Fang Tang Yingli Liu Shutang Zhao Jianjun Hu Xueqin Song MengZhu Lu 2021Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2021,63,10:3

6Effects of long-term exposure to TDCPP in zebrafish( Danio rerio )–Alternations of hormone balance and gene transcriptions along hypothalamus-pituitary axes显示文摘Background : TDCPP is one of the major chemical of organophosphate flame retardants(OPFRs) that has been detected ubiquitously in both the environment and biota. Previously we observed that it influenced the concentrations of sex and thyroid hormones in a sex-dependent pattern, leading to reproductive impairments after short-term exposure in zebrafish. Here we investigate the consequences of longerterm exposure to TDCPP on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad(HPG), hypothalamicpituitary-i nterrenal(HPI), and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid(HPT) axes of zebrafish( Danio rerio).Methods : A 120-day exposure test to 0.005, 0.05 and 0.5 mg/L TDCPP was initiated with fertilized eggs. Sex steroid hormones in the treated fishes were measured and transcriptional changes were analyzed.Results : In female fish, exposure to TDCPP resulted in increases in plasma cortisol,follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), luteinizing hormone(LH), 17β-estradiol(E2), cortisol, thyroxine(T4), and triiodothyronine(T3). Transcription of most target genes along HPG, HPI and HPT axes were increased by the exposure. While in male fish the exposure led to decreases in cortisol, FSH, LH, T4, T3, testosterone(T), and 11-ketotestosterone(11-KT). Transcription of genes along HPG, HPI and HPT axes,especially steroidogenic genes, were inhibited in male zebrafish. While, E2/T or E2/11-KT ratio was increased in both female and females. The sex-dependent changes in hormones might be due to differential responses to TDCPP induced stresses. An increase in cortisol level coincided with increases in E2 and THs in female fish, while in males decreases in cortisol as well as T, 11-KT and THs were observed. Long-term exposure to TDCPP at very low(μg/L) concentrations could disrupt hormone balances in a sex dependent way.Conclusion : This study revealed that TDCPP could affect endocrine axes – HPG, HPI and HPT – in zebrafish, and impair zebrafish development.Xiaoshan Liu Xiaoxun Lu Jiabin Hong Jing Zhang Juntong Lin Mengzhu Jiang Qian Liu Kyungho Choi Jingjing Zhang 2022Animal Models and Experimental Medicine2022,5,3:1
7An improved draft genome sequence of hybrid Populus alba×Populus glandulosa显示文摘Populus alba × P.glandulosa clone 84 K,derived from South Korea,is widely cultivated in China and used as a model in the molecular research of woody plants because of hi gh gene transformation efficiency.Here,we combined63-fold coverage Illumina short reads and 126-fold coverage PacBio long reads to assemble the genome.Due to the hi gh heterozygosity level at 2.1% estimated by k-mer analysis,we exploited TrioCanu for genome assembly.The PacBio clean subreads of P.alba × P.glandulosa were separated into two parts according to the similarities,compared with the parental genomes of P.alba and P.glandulosa.The two parts of the subreads were assembled to two sets of subgenomes comprising subgenome A(405.31 Mb,from P.alba)and subgenome G(376.05 Mb,from P.glandulosa) with the contig N50 size of 5.43 Mb and 2.15 Mb,respectively.A high-quality P.alba × P.glandulosa genome assembly was obtained.The genome size was 781.36 Mb with the contig N50 size of 3.66 Mb and the longest contig was 19.47 Mb.In addition,a total of 176.95 Mb(43.7%),152.37 Mb(40.5%)of repetitive elements were identified and a total of 38,701 and 38,449 protein-coding genes were predicted in subgenomes A and G,respectively.For functional annotation,96.98% of subgenome A and 96.96% of subgenome G genes were annotated with public databases.This de novo assembled genome will facilitate systematic and comprehensive study,such as multi-omics analysis,in the model tree P.alba X P.glandulosa.Xiong Huang Song Chen Xiaopeng Peng Eun-Kyung Bae Xinren Dai Guiming Liu Guanzheng Qu Jae-Heung Ko Hyoshin Lee Su Chen Quanzi Li Mengzhu Lu 2021Journal of Forestry Research2021,32,4:1
8Targeting fibrosis: mechanisms and clinical trials显示文摘Fibrosis is characterized by the excessive extracellular matrix deposition due to dysregulated wound and connective tissue repair response.Multiple organs can develop fibrosis,including the liver,kidney,heart,and lung.Fibrosis such as liver cirrhosis,idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis,and cystic fibrosis caused substantial disease burden.Persistent abnormal activation of myofibroblasts mediated by various signals,such as transforming growth factor,platelet-derived growth factor,and fibroblast growh factor,has been recongized as a major event in the occurrence and progression of fibrosis.Although the mechanisms driving organ-specific fibrosis have not been fully elucidated,drugs targeting these identified aberrant signals have achieved potent anti-fibrotic efficacy in clinical trials.In this review,we briefly introduce the aetiology and epidemiology of several fibrosis diseases,including liver fibrosis,kidney fibrosis,cardiac fibrosis,and pulmonary fibrosis.Then,we summarise the abnormal cells(epithelial cells,endothelial cells,immune cells,and fibroblasts)and their interactions in fibrosis.In addition,we also focus on the aberrant signaling pathways and therapeutic targets that regulate myofibroblast activation,extracellular matrix cross-linking,metabolism,and inflammation in fibrosis.Finally,we discuss the anti-fibrotic drugs based on their targets and clinical trials.This review provides reference for further research on fibrosis mechanism,drug development,and clinical trials.Manyu Zhao Liqun Wang Mengzhu Wang Shijie Zhou Ying Lu Huijie Cui Alexandra C.Racanelli Ling Zhang Tinghong Ye Bisen Ding Ben Zhang Jinliang Yang Yuqin Yao 2022Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2022,7,7:1
9Fine-tuning brassinosteroid biosynthesis via 3′UTR-dependent decay of CPD mRNA modulates wood formation in Populus显示文摘Brassinosteroids(BRs)are plant hormones that regulate wood formation in trees.Currently,little is known about the post-transcriptional regulation of BR synthesis.Here,we show that during wood formation,fine-tuning BR synthesis requires 3′UTR-dependent decay of Populus CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC DWARF 1(PdCPD1).Overexpression of PdCPD1 or its 3′UTR fragment resulted in a significant increase of BR levels and inhibited secondary growth.In contrast,transgenic poplars repressing PdCPD13′UTR expression displayed moderate levels of BR and promoted wood formation.We show that the Populus GLYCINE-RICH RNA-BINDING PROTEIN1(PdGRP1)directly binds to a GU-rich element in 3′UTR of Pd CPD1,leading to its mRNA decay.We thus provide a post-transcriptional mechanism underlying BRs synthesis during wood formation,which may be useful for genetic manipulation of wood biomass in trees.Dian Wang Xiaoning Hao Li Xu Mengyan Zhao Congpeng Wang Xihao Yu Yingzhen Kong Mengzhu Lu Gongke Zhou Guohua Chai Xianfeng Tang 2023Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2023,65,8:0
10Broadband and High-Temperature-Resistant Microwave Absorber Using Additively Manufactured Ceramic Substrate显示文摘This paper presents an approach to achieve broadband absorption and temperature resistance using ceramic sub-strates.A specially formulated slurry suitable for additive manufacturing technology was developed to fabricate ceramic substrates with lattice structures.The lattice structure not only reduces the weight of the absorber but also facilitates the broadening of the absorption bandwidth.The experimental results demonstrate that the pro-posed structure exhibits absorption rates exceeding 88%within the frequency range of 19.9-30.41 GHz,with a relative absorption bandwidth of 41.8%under normal incidence.Furthermore,the absorber’s performance was assessed under high temperatures of up to 200℃,revealing absorption spectra that closely match the initially measured spectrum.Additive-manufactured ceramic lattice structures present a promising avenue for designing multifunctional broadband microwave absorbers capable of withstanding elevated temperatures.Baihong Chi Kuan Lu Pengfei Wang Mengzhu Li Yuanyuan Li Xinyu Geng Guangsheng Deng 2023Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering(Additive Manufacturing Frontiers)2023,2,4:0
11Oncological outcomes of patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate receiving radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy显示文摘Objective:To evaluate the oncological outcomes of ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate(DAC)managed with radical prostatectomy(RP)or radiotherapy(RT)and optimize the proper treatment modality to DAC comprehensively.Methods:The cohorts included a total of 528 patients from the Surveillance,Epidemiology and End Results(SEER)database,354 receiving RP and 174 receiving RT.Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed to assess cancer specific mortality(CSM)and overall mortality(OM)between treatment groups.A competing risk analysis was further conducted.Subgroup analyses by age and level of prostate-specific antigen(PSA)were performed.Propensity score matching was implemented.Results:Patients managed with RP had lower risks of CSM and OM compared with RT(before matching:Hazard ratio[HR]=0.24,95%confidence interval[CI]0.13-0.47 and HR=0.26,95%CI 0.17-0.40,respectively;after matching:HR=0.18,95%CI 0.04-0.82 and HR=0.28,95%CI 0.11-0.70,accordingly).Subgroup analyses demonstrated that patients in the middle tertile of the age or with lower tertile PSA level managed with RP took lower risks of OM significantly(HR=0.18,95%CI 0.06-0.57,p<0.01 and HR=0.17,95%CI 0.06-0.54,p<0.01).Conclusion:Among patients with DAC,treatment with RP was associated with better survival outcomes in comparison with RT.Patients with DAC in the middle tertile of the age and with lower tertile PSA level benefited the most from RP.Mengzhu Liu Kun Jin Shi Qiu Pengyong Xu Mingming Zhang Wufeng Cai Xiaonan Zheng Lu Yang Qiang Wei 2021Asian Journal of Urology2021,8,2:0
12Plant Biosystems Design Research Roadmap 1.0显示文摘Human life intimately depends on plants for food,biomaterials,health,energy,and a sustainable environment.Various plants have been genetically improved mostly through breeding,along with limited modification via genetic engineering,yet they are still not able to meet the ever-increasing needs,in terms of both quantity and quality,resulting from the rapid increase in world population and expected standards of living.A step change that may address these challenges would be to expand the potential of plants using biosystems design approaches.This represents a shift in plant science research from relatively simple trial-and-error approaches to innovative strategies based on predictive models of biological systems.Plant biosystems design seeks to accelerate plant genetic improvement using genome editing and genetic circuit engineering or create novel plant systems through de novo synthesis of plant genomes.From this perspective,we present a comprehensive roadmap of plant biosystems design covering theories,principles,and technical methods,along with potential applications in basic and applied plant biology research.We highlight current challenges,future opportunities,and research priorities,along with a framework for international collaboration,towards rapid advancement of this emerging interdisciplinary area of research.Finally,we discuss the importance of social responsibility in utilizing plant biosystems design and suggest strategies for improving public perception,trust,and acceptance.Xiaohan Yang June I.Medford Kasey Markel Patrick M.Shih Henrique C.De Paoli Cong T.Trinh Alistair J.McCormick Raphael Ployet Steven G.Hussey Alexander A.Myburg Poul Erik Jensen Md Mahmudul Hassan Jin Zhang Wellington Muchero Udaya C.Kalluri Hengfu Yin Renying Zhuo Paul E.Abraham Jin-Gui Chen David J.Weston Yinong Yang Degao Liu Yi Li Jessy Labbe Bing Yang Jun Hyung Lee Robert W.Cottingham Stanton Martin Mengzhu Lu Timothy J.Tschaplinski Guoliang Yuan Haiwei Lu Priya Ranjan Julie C.Mitchell Stan D.Wullschleger Gerald A.Tuskan 2020BioDesign Research2020,,1:0
