Abstract

Pollen fertility is an important factor affecting the seed setting rate and seed yield of plants. The Arabidopsis thaliana enolase gene ENO2 (AtENO2) can affect the pollen morphology, germination, and pollen tube growth. AtENO2 encodes two proteins AtENO2 and AtMBP-1. To examine the effect of AtENO2 protein on pollen development, the 2nd ATG of the AtENO2 coding sequence for AtMBP-1 was mutated by site-directed mutagenesis, and transgenic plants expressing only AtENO2 but not AtMBP-1 were obtained. Phenotypic analysis indicated that AtENO2 was essential in the pollen development. The mechanisms of AtENO2 on pollen development were analyzed. AtENO2 can affect development of the pollen intine, and the mechanism may be that AtENO2 regulated the methyl esterification of pectin in pollen intine through ARF3 and AtPMEI-pi. The -734 ∼ -573 sequence of AtENO2 promoter is the main transcriptional regulatory region of AtENO2 affecting pollen development. The functional cis-acting element may be GTGANTG10(GTGA), and the trans-acting factors may be KAN, AS2 and ARF3/ETT. Moreover, the deletion of AtENO2 can cause significant difference in the expression of multiple genes related to pollen exine development. These results are useful for fur...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
