摘要:
Main conclusion The Albizia julibrissin chloroplasts have a classical chloroplast genome structure, containing 93 coding genes and 34 non-coding genes. Our research provides basic data for plant phylogenetic evolutionary studies. There is limited genomic information available for the important Chinese herb Albizia julibrissin Durazz. In this study, we constructed the chloroplast (Cp) genome of A. julibrissin. The length of the assembled Cp genome was 175,922 bp consisting of four conserved regions: a 5145 bp small single-copy (SSC) region, a 91,323 bp large single-copy (LSC) region, and two identical length-inverted repeat (IR) regions (39,725 bp). This Cp genome included 34 non-coding RNAs and 93 unique genes, the former contains 30 transfer and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. Gene annotation indicated some of the coding genes (82) in the A. julibrissin Cp genome classified in the Leguminosae family, with some to other related families (11). The results show that low GC content (36.9%) and codon bias towards A- or T-terminal codons may affect the frequency of gene codon usage. The sequence analysis identified 30 forward, 18 palindrome, and 1 reverse repeat > 30 bp length, and 149 simple sequence repeats (SSR). Fifty-five RNA editing sites in the Cp of A. julibrissin were predicted, most of which are C-to-U conversions. Analysis of the reverse repeat expansion or contraction and divergence area between several species, including A. julibrissin, was performed. The phylogenetic tree revealed that A. julibrissin was most closely related to Albizia odoratissima and Albizia bracteata, followed by Samanea saman, forming an evolutionary branch with Mimosa pudica and Leucaena trichandra. The research results are helpful for breeding and genetic improvement of A. julibrissin, and also provide valuable information for understanding the evolution of this plant.

摘要:
It is found that the growth of Dendrobium huoshanense was dependent on Fe3O4, while the bioavailability of plants to ordinary Fe3O4 was low on the earth. In order to improve the growth, quality and yield of D. huoshanense, we used Fe3O4 NPs (100 or 200 mg/L) that was easily absorbed by plants as nano-fertilizer to hydroponically treat seedlings of D. huoshanense for 3 weeks. Fe3O4 NPs induced not only earlier flowering and increased sugar content and photosynthesis, but also stressed to plants, increased MDA content and related antioxidant enzymes activities. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) revealed that Fe3O4 NPs caused a significant accumulation of Fe and some other nutrient elements (Mn, Co, B, Mo) in stems of D. huoshanense. Metabolomics revealed that the metabolites were reprogrammed in D. huoshanense when under Fe3O4 NPs exposure. Fe3O4 NPs inhibited antioxidant defense-related pathways, demonstrating that Fe3O4 NPs have antioxidant capacity to protect D. huoshanense from damage. As the first study associating Fe3O4 NPs with the quality of D. huoshanense, it provided vital insights into the molecular mechanisms of how D. huoshanense responds to Fe3O4 NPs, ensuring the reasonable use of Fe3O4 NPs as nano-fertilizer.

摘要:
Artemisinin is widely used as an antimalarial drug, and the regulation of artemisinin metabolism is at the forefront of artemisinin research. A WRKY transcription factor, named as AaWRKY4, was cloned from high artemisinin-yielding Artemisia annua, which has similar expression pattern with the key enzymes in artemisinin biosynthetic pathway. AaWRKY4 was preferentially expressed in glandular secretory trichomes (GSTs) of young leaves and flower buds, but weakly expressed in other tissues. To further study the function of AaWRKY4, plant expression vector pHB-AaWRKY4 containing AaWRKY4 driven by CaMV 35S promoter was constructed and introduced into A. annua via Agrobacterium tumafeciens-mediated transformation. Expression analysis showed that the expression of AaWRKY4 was increased in transgenic plants. Four independent transgenic plants overexpressing AaWRKY4 were selected for further analysis. The expression levels of artemisinin biosynthetic pathway genes ADS, CYP71AV1, DBR2 and ALDH1 were dramatically increased in AaWRKY4-overexpressing A. annua plants. Furthermore, the artemisinin yield was increased by 35–50% in AaWRKY4-overexpressing A. annua plants. These results indicate AaWRKY4 can upregulate artemisinin content through regulating artemisinin metabolism. A WRKY transcription factor, named as AaWRKY4, was cloned from high artemisinin-yielding

摘要:
Elucidating the origin of flowers has been a challenge in botany for a long time. One of the central questions surrounding the origin of flowers is how to interpret the carpel, especially the relationship between the phyllome part (carpel wall) and the ovule. Recently, consensus favors the carpel originating from the fusion of an ovule-bearing part and the phyllome part that subtends it. Considering the carpel is a complex organ, the accurate presentation of the anatomical structure of the carpel is necessary for resolving this question. Anaxagorea is the most basal genus in a primitive angiosperm family, Annonaceae. The conspicuous stipe at the base of each carpel makes it an ideal material for exploring the histological relationships among the receptacle, the carpel, and the ovule. In the present study, floral organogenesis and vasculature were delineated in Anaxagorea luzonensis and Anaxagorea javanica, and a three-dimensional model of the carpel vasculature was reconstructed based on serial sections. The results show that in Anaxagorea, the vasculature in the carpel branches in the form of shoots. The radiosymmetrical vasculature pattern is repeatedly presented in the receptacle, the carpel, and the funiculus of the ovule. This provides anatomical evidence of the composite origin of the carpel.</p>
