Genome-wide identification of U-box gene family and expression analysis in response to saline-alkali stress in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv)
E3 ubiquitin ligases are central modifiers of plant signaling pathways that regulate protein function, localization, degradation, and other biological processes by linking ubiquitin to target proteins. E3 ubiquitin ligases include proteins with the U-box domain. However, there has been no report about the foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv) U-box gene family (SiPUB) to date. To explore the function of SiPUBs, this study performed genome-wide identification of SiPUBs and expression analysis of them in response to saline-alkali stress. A total of 70 SiPUBs were identified, which were unevenly distributed on eight chrom...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 300: D-Limonene Affects the Feeding Behavior and the Acquisition and Transmission of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus by Bemisia tabaci
Xiaobin Shi
Yong Liu
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is an important invasive pest transmitting plant viruses that are maintained through a plant–insect–plant cycle. Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) can be transmitted in a persistent manner by B. tabaci, which causes great losses to global agricultural production. From an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and efficient point of view, in this study, we explored the function of d-limonene in reducing the acquisition and transmission of TYLCV by B. tabaci as a repellent volatile. D-limonene increased the duration of non-feeding waves ...

Wastewater irrigation and Trichoderma colonization in tomato plants: effects on plant traits, antioxidant activity, and performance of the insect pest Macrosiphum euphorbiae
This study investigated the joint effects of Trichoderma afroharzianum T-22 on tomato plants irrigated with simulated unconventional waters. The experiment consisted of a control and three water treatments. In the control, the plants were watered with distilled water. The three water treatments were obtained by using an irrigation water added with nitrogen, a wastewater effluent, and a mixed groundwater-wastewater effluents. Potted tomato plants (variety Bobcat) were grown in a controlled growth chamber. Antioxidant activity, susceptibility to the aphids Macrosiphum euphorbiae, and tomato plant growth parameters were estim...

GSE225098 Circadian regulation of genes contributed by rapid RNA turnover in tomato
In this study, we performed transcriptome and degradome termed genome-wide mapping of uncapped and cleavage transcripts (GMUCT) in tomato leaves at 6 time points in one circadian period. Time-series profiling of RNA-seq data revealed 9342 circadian genes, whose functions enriched in multiple types of metabolic process including RNA metabolism. Proportion Uncapped (PU) metric calculated with normalized GMUCT/RNAseq ratio was used to measure general level of RNA degradation. Using this metric, we found 3885 genes whose PU was rhythmically changed, suggesting they were regulated by circadian RNA degradation. These genes with ...

Comprehensive phytohormone metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) infected by tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV)
Virus Res. 2024 Feb 13;342:199334. doi: 10.1016/j.virusres.2024.199334. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is ranked among the top 10 most destructive viruses globally. It results in abnormal leaf growth, stunting, and even death, significantly affecting crop yield and quality. Phytohormones play a crucial role in regulating plant-virus interactions. However, there is still limited research on the effect of TSWV on phytohormone levels, particularly growth hormones and genes involved in the phytohormone pathway. In our study, we combined phytohormone metabolomics and transcriptomics to examine th...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 695: Development of Biological Coating from Novel Halophilic Exopolysaccharide Exerting Shelf-Life-Prolonging and Biocontrol Actions for Post-Harvest Applications
Upadhyaya
The literature presents the preserving effect of biological coatings developed from various microbial sources. However, the presented work exhibits its uniqueness in the utilization of halophilic exopolysaccharides as food coating material. Moreover, such extremophilic exopolysaccharides are more stable and economical production is possible. Consequently, the aim of the presented research was to develop a coating material from marine exopolysaccharide (EPS). The significant EPS producers having antagonistic attributes against selected phytopathogens were screened from different marine water and soil samples. ...

A biofertilizing fungal endophyte of cranberry plants suppresses the plant pathogen Diaporthe
Fungi colonizing plants are gaining attention because of their ability to promote plant growth and suppress pathogens. While most studies focus on endosymbionts from grasses and legumes, the large and diverse group of ericaceous plants has been much neglected. We recently described one of the very few fungal endophytes promoting the growth of the Ericaceae Vaccinium macrocarpon (American cranberry), notably the Codinaeella isolate EC4. Here, we show that EC4 also suppresses fungal pathogens, which makes it a promising endophyte for sustainable cranberry cultivation. By dual-culture assays on agar plates, we tested the pote...

Effects of intrinsic characteristics of Salmonella enterica strains isolated from foods and humans, and their interaction with food matrices during simulated gastric conditions
This study investigated the survival of S. enterica under simulated oral and gastric conditions (SGC; pH 2 for 120 min) as a function of intrinsic pathogen characteristics and food matrix. Fifty-seven S. enterica strains isolated from food and human infections (previously characterized by serotype, virulotype, multi-drug resistance, isolation source, and isolation season) were subjected to SGC using water as a vehicle. Population reduction among the 57 isolates ranged from 2.7 to 4.7 log CFU, revealing that human isolates were inactivated less than food isolates (p = 0.0008). Among food strains, strains isolated during the...
