Analysis of Germin-like protein genes family in Vitis vinifera (VvGLPs) using various in silico approaches

Braz. j. biol; 84 (), 2024
Germin-like proteins (GLPs) play an important role against various stresses. Vitis vinifera L. genome contains 7 GLPs; many of them are functionally unexplored. However, the computational analysis may provide important new insight into their function. Currently, physicochemical properties, subcellular lo...

A comprehensive overview of miRNA targeting drought stress resistance in plants

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential nonprotein-coding genes. In a range of organisms, miRNAs has been reported to play an essential role in regulating gene expressions at post-transcriptional level. They participate in most of the stress responsive processes in plants. Drought is an ultimate abioti...

Regulon: An overview of plant abiotic stress transcriptional regulatory system and role in transgenic plants

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract Population growth is increasing rapidly around the world, in these consequences we need to produce more foods to full fill the demand of increased population. The world is facing global warming due to urbanizations and industrialization and in this concerns plants exposed continuously to abiotic...

Expression analysis of transcription factors in sugarcane during cold stress

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract Transcription factors (TF) are a wide class of genes in plants, and these can regulate the expression of other genes in response to various environmental stresses (biotic and abiotic). In the current study, transcription factor activity in sugarcane was examined during cold stress. Initially, RN...

The pattern of alternative splicing and DNA methylation alteration and their interaction in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L) response to repeated drought stresses

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: Drought stress has significantly hampered agricultural productivity worldwide and can also result in modifications to DNA methylation levels. However, the dynamics of DNA methylation and its association with the changes in gene transcription and alternative splicing (AS) under drought stress ...

Molecular structures and functional exploration of NDA family genes respond tolerant to alkaline stress in Gossypium hirsutum L

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: The internal NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDA) gene family was a member of the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (ND) gene family, mainly involved in the non-phosphorylated respiratory pathways in mitochondria and played crucial roles in response to abiotic stress. METHODS: The whole genome identification, str...

Structure and character analysis of cotton response regulator genes family reveals that GhRR7 responses to draught stress

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Cytokinin signal transduction is mediated by a two-component system (TCS). Two-component systems are utilized in plant responses to hormones as well as to biotic and abiotic environmental stimuli. In plants, response regulatory genes (RRs) are one of the main members of the two-component syst...

Genome-wide characterization of the abscisic acid-, stress- and ripening-induced (ASR) gene family in wheat (Triticum aestivum L)

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Abscisic acid-, stress-, and ripening-induced (ASR) genes are a class of plant specific transcription factors (TFs), which play important roles in plant development, growth and abiotic stress responses. The wheat ASRs have not been described in genome-wide yet. METHODS: We predicted the trans...

Characterization of the transcriptional profiles in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) under PEG-mediated drought stress

BACKGROUND: Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is an important staple food crop in southwest China, where drought stress is one of the largest limiting factors that lead to decreased crop production. To reveal the molecular mechanism of common buckwheat in response to drought stress, we performed a ...

Knock-down the expression of TaH2B-7D using virus-induced gene silencing reduces wheat drought tolerance

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Exploration of drought-tolerant genes is essential for the genetic improvement of drought tolerance in wheat. Previous studies have shown that some histone encoding genes are involved in plant drought ...
