The yl Gene of Maize Codes for Phytoene Synthase [PDF]

Genetics, 1996
Abstract The cloned yl locus of maize was sequenced and found to encode phytoene synthase. Different “wild-type” alleles of the locus were found to differ by the insertion of transposable elements in their promoter and polyA addition regions, and by the length of a CCA tandem repeat series, without any obvious effect on function of the ...

Chromosome‐Scale Haplotype Genome Assemblies for the Australian Mango ‘Kensington Pride’ and a Wild Relative, Mangifera laurina, Provide Insights Into Anthracnose‐Resistance and Volatile Compound Biosynthesis Genes

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most popular fruits cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The availability of reference genomes helps to identify the genetic basis of important traits. Here, we report assembled high‐quality chromosome‐level genomes for the Australian mango cultivar ‘Kensington Pride’ and M ...

Single-cell genomics based on Raman sorting reveals novel carotenoid-containing bacteria in the Red Sea [PDF]

, 2016
Cell sorting coupled with single-cell genomics is a powerful tool to circumvent cultivation of microorganisms and reveal microbial ‘dark matter’. Single-cell Raman spectra (SCRSs) are label-free biochemical ‘fingerprints’ of individual cells, which can ...

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assembly of the Allotetraploid Gynostemma pentaphyllum Provides Novel Insights Into the Biosynthesis of Ginsenoside and Gypenoside LVI

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gynostemma pentaphyllum, a herb used in tea and traditional Chinese medicine, shows geographic variation in its production of valuable dammarane‐type ginsenosides and gypenoside LVI between populations from Suining (SN) and Nanning (NN). To elucidate the mechanisms underlying this differential metabolite accumulation, a chromosome‐level genome

Carotenoid accumulation during tomato fruit ripening is modulated by the auxin-ethylene balance [PDF]

, 2015
Background : Tomato fruit ripening is controlled by ethylene and is characterized by a shift in color from green to red, a strong accumulation of lycopene, and a decrease in β-xanthophylls and chlorophylls.

A Natural LTR Retrotransposon Insertion in the Promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt Boosts Cotton Lint Yield

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transposable elements (TEs) are fundamental drivers of crop evolution and domestication. Whereas the underlying mechanisms of TE‐mediated gene activation remain poorly understood. Lint percentage is an important yield component in cotton. Here, we report a retrotransposon insertion in the promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt, a secondary wall NAC encoding ...

Transgenic rice (Oryza sativa) endosperm expressing daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) phytoene synthase accumulates phytoene, a key intermediate of provitamin A biosynthesis [PDF]

The Plant Journal, 1997
Rice (Oryza sativa L.), the major food staple for more than two billion people, contains neither β‐carotene (provitamin A) nor C40 carotenoid precursors thereof in its endosperm. To improve the nutritional value of rice, genetic engineering was chosen as a means to introduce the ability to make β‐carotene into rice endosperm tissue.

Genome-Wide Analysis of the Soybean SQS_PSY Gene Family and Its Role in Defense Against Phytophthora sojae

Agronomy
The SQS_PSY family (Squalene/phytoene synthase family), with squalene synthase (SQS) and phytoene synthase (PSY) as core members, comprises enzymes that catalyze the head-to-head condensation of isoprenoid precursors.

Identification and Functional Characterization of Tomato CircRNAs Derived from Genes Involved in Fruit Pigment Accumulation

Scientific Reports, 2017
CircRNAs, a class of widespread circular RNAs produced from precursor mRNA back-splicing, have been implicated in regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes, but their biological functions in plants have not yet been elucidated.
