Abstract

Galactolipids (MGDG and DGDG) and sulfolipids (SQDG) are key components of plastidic membranes, and play important roles in plant development and photosynthesis. In this study, the whole families of MGD, DGD and SQD were identified in maize genome, and were designated as ZmMGD1-3, ZmDGD1-5 and ZmSQD1-5 respectively. Based on the phylogenetic analyses, maize and Arabidopsis MGDs, DGDs and SQDs were clearly divided into two major categories (Type A and Type B) along with their orthologous genes from other plant species. Under low-phosphorus condition, the expression of Type B MGD, DGD and SQD genes of maize and Arabidopsis were significantly elevated in both leaf and root tissues. The lipid analysis was also conducted, and an overall increase in non-phosphorus lipids (MGDG, DGDG and SQDG), and a decrease in phosphorus lipids (PC, PE and PA) were observed in maize leaves and roots under phosphate deficiency. Several maize MGD and SQD genes were found involved in various abiotic stress responses. These findings will help for better understanding the specific functions of MGDs, DGDs and SQDs in 18:3 plants and for the generation of improved crops adapted to phosphate starvation and other abiotic stresses.

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.
