Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV), a member of the genus Fijivirus in the family Reoviridae, causes significant economic losses in rice production in China and many other Asian countries. Although a great deal of effort has been made to elucidate the interactions among the virus, insect vectors, host and environmental conditions, few RBSDV proteins involved in pathogenesis have been identified,...
MicroRNA-221 (miRNA-221) plays an important role in occurrence and development of tumor. However, expression pattern and role of miRNA-221 in the non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) remains poorly understood. In the current study, we explored the roles and the underlying mechanism of miR-221 in NSCLC by gain and loss of function analysis. We found that the expression of miRNA-221 is significantly...
The auxin response factor (ARF) family of transcription factors is a crucial component of auxin signaling and plays important roles regulating numerous growth and developmental processes in plants. We isolated and characterized 20 ARF genes involved in adventitious root development of Populus. Multiple protein sequence alignments revealed that the PeARF proteins contained a highly conserved region...
Liriodendron chinense (Hemsl.) Sarg is an endangered species and occupies a pivotal position in phylogenetic studies of flowering plants, while its genomic resources are limited. In this study, we performed transcriptome sequencing for L. chinense petals and leaves using the Illumina paired-end sequencing technique. Approximately 17.02-Gb clean reads were obtained, and de novo assembly generated 87,841...
The present study examined the genetic variation of the family Osteoglossidae from different geographical locations based on the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) and ATPase subunit 6 (ATPase6) genes; we then re-constructed the phylogenetic relationships using the two sequences in combination. The results showed that the partial sequences of mitochondrial ND2 and ATPase6 of the family...
Zinc finger proteins play important roles in various cellular functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathways are one of the most common mechanisms in eukaryotic cell regulation. Many transcription factors are important targets of MAPKs. In this study, we identified a novel gene encoding a zinc finger protein...
