In higher plants,the splicing of organelle-encoded mRNA involves a complex collaboration with nuclear-encoded proteins.Pentatricopeptide repeat(PPR)proteins have been implicated in these RNA-protein interactions.In this study,we performed cloning and functional characterization of maize Defective kernel 35(Dek35),which encodes a new PPR protein.The dek35-ref mutant is a lethal seed mutant with developmental deficiency.Dek35 was cloned through Mutator tag isolation and was confirmed by four additional independent mutant alleles.Dek35 encodes a new P-type PPR protein that targets mitochondria.The dek35 mutation causes significant reduction of DEK35 proteins,and reduced splicing efficiency of mitochondrial nad4 intron 1.Mitochondrial complex analysis in dek35 immature seeds indicated severe deficiency of complex I assembly and NADH dehydrogenase activity.Transcriptome analysis of dek35 endosperm revealed enhanced expression in the alternative respiratory pathway and extensive differentially expressed genes related to mitochondrial function and activity.The results indicated that Dek35 is a new PPR protein that affects the cis-splicing of mitochondrial nad4 intron 1 and is required for mitochondrial function and seed development.

菘蓝(Isatis indigotica Fort.),始载于《神农本草经》,其根入药即为板蓝根,为我国历代常用抗病毒中草药.以落叶松脂素为代表的木脂素类化合物是其发挥抗病毒作用的物质基础,然而菘蓝中落叶松脂素的含量仅为47.14μg/g,严重影响了菘蓝作为一个高品质中药的应用.实验通过整合菘蓝转录组和代谢组数据,筛选获得与菘蓝当中木脂素类化合物合成相关的AP2/ERF(APETALA2/ethy
植物能够对于外界环境的变化做出响应的胁迫响应.在研究中发现,水稻NAC转录因子家族OsNAC2能够受到ABA和包括盐胁迫和干旱胁迫的强烈诱导,改变植物对于胁迫的响应.OsNAC2过表达株系表现出对于外界胁迫的不耐受,生殖期的胁迫会导致植株更低的产量.RNAi株系则表现出在营养生殖阶段都具有更强的胁迫耐性.并且RNAi的产量也在胁迫条件下高于野生型.
青蒿是我国传统中草药,可生产用于治疗疟疾的特效成分青蒿素而闻名全球.因发现青蒿素具有抗疟作用,挽救了数百万人的生命,屠呦呦教授获得了2015年诺贝尔医学或生理奖.目前青蒿素的主要来源是从植物青蒿中提取,因此青蒿素的生物合成调控成为全球研究的热点.青蒿素是一种含有过氧桥键的倍半萜内酯次生代谢产物,其合成常受到植物激素、环境等多种因素的影响.其中,茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)诱导提高青蒿素的生物合成效果显著
几丁质(chitin)是一类来自真菌的病原相关分子模式(PAMP),植物通过识别chitin来启动植物的免疫反应,达到抵抗病原菌的作用.水稻细胞膜类受体激酶OsCERK1参与识别chitin后,引起蛋白磷酸化进而启动免疫反应.细胞质类受体激酶OsRLCK185是OsCERK1的磷酸化底物,并正向调控chitin信号通路.MAPK级联蛋白通路在植物响应外界和内源信号中十分重要,参与chitin介导的
