  • Characterization of a Type 3 Metallothionein Isolated from Porteresia Coarctata
    BIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 55 (1): 119-124, 2011 Characterization of a type 3 metallothionein isolated from Porteresia coarctata B. USHA, N.S. KEERAN, M. HARIKRISHNAN, K. KAVITHA and A. PARIDA* Plant Molecular Biology Laboratory, M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Taramani, Chennai-600113, India Abstract Metallothioneins are involved in detoxification of heavy metals. A cDNA encoding type 3 metallothionein (PcMT3) was isolated from the salt stressed leaf cDNA library of Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka (wild rice) that grows well in the heavy metal laden estuarine soils. The PcMT3 cDNA (581 bp) encodes a protein of 64 amino acids. PcMT3 is highly homologous (82 %) to OsMT-I-3a of rice, but is unique from other type 3 plant MTs due to the presence of an additional glycine residue in the C-terminal domain. Analysis of the 5′ upstream region of PcMT3 showed the presence of cis-acting elements like the CG box and STRE previously reported to be involved in gene expression under heavy metal stress. Southern analysis suggested the presence of more than one copy of PcMT3-like sequences in the P. coarctata genome. Analysis of genomic clone of PcMT3 revealed the presence of two introns. A comparison of the genomic sequence of PcMT3 with closely similar type 3 MTs from rice and mangrove species revealed conservation in the number and position of introns. Transcript profiling for PcMT3 in P. coarctata leaves in the presence of Cd, Cu and Zn showed an increase in transcript accumulation. Additional key words: cis-acting elements, heavy metals, salt stress, wild rice. Introduction Plants acquire heavy metal tolerance through various reported in plants like rice, hybrid poplar, oil palm and mechanisms like compartmentalization, sequestration, lichens (Abdullah et al.

  • Evolutionary and Comparative Analyses of the Soybean Genome
    Breeding Science 61: 437–444 (2012) doi:10.1270/jsbbs.61.437 Review Evolutionary and comparative analyses of the soybean genome Steven B. Cannon* and Randy C. Shoemaker United States Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service, Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research Unit, Ames, IA 50011, USA The soybean genome assembly has been available since the end of 2008. Significant features of the genome include large, gene-poor, repeat-dense pericentromeric regions, spanning roughly 57% of the genome se- quence; a relatively large genome size of ~1.15 billion bases; remnants of a genome duplication that occurred ~13 million years ago (Mya); and fainter remnants of older polyploidies that occurred ~58 Mya and >130 Mya. The genome sequence has been used to identify the genetic basis for numerous traits, including disease resistance, nutritional characteristics, and developmental features. The genome sequence has provided a scaffold for placement of many genomic feature elements, both from within soybean and from related spe- cies. These may be accessed at several websites, including http://www.phytozome.net, http://soybase.org, http://comparative-legumes.org, and http://www.legumebase.brc.miyazaki-u.ac.jp. The taxonomic position of soybean in the Phaseoleae tribe of the legumes means that there are approximately two dozen other beans and relatives that have undergone independent domestication, and which may have traits that will be useful for transfer to soybean. Methods of translating information between species in the Phaseoleae range from de- sign of markers for marker assisted selection, to transformation with Agrobacterium or with other experi- mental transformation methods. Key Words: Glycine max, soybean, legume evolution, polyploidy, SoyBase, Legume Information System, Legumebase, Phytozome.

  • Variation and Geographical Distribution of Perisperm Starch in Grain Amaranths (Amaranthus Spp.), and the Origin of Waxy Perisperm Type
    Trop. Agr. Develop. 60（3）：172 － 178，2016 Variation and Geographical Distribution of Perisperm Starch in Grain Amaranths (Amaranthus spp.), and the Origin of Waxy Perisperm Type Kazuhiro NEMOTO1, *, Mineo MINAMI1, and Tsukasa NAGAMINE2 1 Graduate School of Agriculture, Shinshu University, 8304 Minamiminowa, Nagano 399-4598, Japan 2 National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences, 2-1-2 Kannondai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8602, Japan Abstract Excluding cereals, grain amaranths are known as the only crop with non-waxy and waxy starch types in seeds. We examined the amylose content stored in the perisperm and starch types; non-waxy, waxy and low-amylose types in 266 accessions of three grain amaranth species i.e. Amaranthus hypochondriacus L., A. cruentus L. and A. caudatus L. from around the world. In the accessions from the New World where these species were domesticated, a wide range of amylose contents and all the starch types were detected. Conversely, very limited variation of this trait was observed in the accessions from Asia and Africa. We concluded that the waxy type originated in the New World before being disseminated into Asia and Africa. However, the selection pressure for the waxy type in the perisperm of grain amaranths in the New World was considered to differ from that acting on cereal crops because of differences in the use and people’s preference for sticky food. Key words: Amaranthus spp., Amylose content, Geographical distribution, Grain amaranth, Waxy type In previous reports, the waxy starch type of a grain Introduction amaranth, which stained reddish brown with iodine The starch-rich seeds of grain amaranths (Amaran- solution, had been observed in A.

  • Fruits: Kinds and Terms
    FRUITS: KINDS AND TERMS THE IMPORTANT PART OF THE LIFE CYCLE OFTEN IGNORED Technically, fruits are the mature ovaries of plants that contain ripe seeds ready for dispersal • Of the many kinds of fruits, there are three basic categories: • Dehiscent fruits that split open to shed their seeds, • Indehiscent dry fruits that retain their seeds and are often dispersed as though they were the seed, and • Indehiscent fleshy fruits that turn color and entice animals to eat them, meanwhile allowing the undigested seeds to pass from the animal’s gut We’ll start with dehiscent fruits. The most basic kind, the follicle, contains a single chamber and opens by one lengthwise slit. The columbine seed pods, three per flower, are follicles A mature columbine follicle Milkweed seed pods are also large follicles. Here the follicle hasn’t yet opened. Here is the milkweed follicle opened The legume is a similar seed pod except it opens by two longitudinal slits, one on either side of the fruit. Here you see seeds displayed from a typical legume. Legumes are only found in the pea family Fabaceae. On this fairy duster legume, you can see the two borders that will later split open. Redbud legumes are colorful before they dry and open Lupine legumes twist as they open, projecting the seeds away from the parent The bur clover modifies its legumes by coiling them and providing them with hooked barbs, only opening later as they dry out. The rattlepods or astragaluses modify their legumes by inflating them for wind dispersal, later opening to shed their seeds.

It belongs to the family Polygonaceae and genus (Fagopyrum spp.) Buckwheat is adaptable to extreme cold temperatures, stress conditions of water, less soil fertility and varying climatic conditions, making it a sustainable crop. A literature search on Buckwheat was done using PubMed and Google search engines and reviewed to prepare an overview of its cultivation, nutritional and health value. In India, twenty species of Buckwheat are cultivated across various hilly regions. Out of these only nine species have desirable nutritional value and two are commonly grown. They are Fagopyrum esculentum Moench (Common buckwheat) and Fagopyrum tataricum (Tartary buckwheat). However, the cultivation of Buckwheat has declined in the 20th century making it an underutilized crop. Buckwheat has good amount of nutrients and many health benefits. There is a need to research about this under-utilized crop and create awareness as this crop has many nutritional and health benefits.

The galls are nutritious with protein (8.13%), carbohydrate (13.82%) and with other micro and macro-nutrients. The edible part of the plant is also having good antioxidant properties like total phenolics (84.1 mg GAE/g dry weight of plant), total flavonoides (7mg QE/g dry wt of plant) and antiradical power value of 10.4. Presence of toxic arsenic (0.09 ppm) in wild rice is much below the permissible limit and hence quite safe for consumption. The tender shoot of this plant is fondly eaten by Cervus eldi eldi McClelland, a critically endangered deer species of the world and also the ‘state animal’ of Manipur.

Received: February 27, 2019 Accepted: April 11, 2019 ABSTRACT: : The present study was carried out to examine salt-induced to effects of different concentrations (0, 40, 80 and 120mM) of salinity on horsegram [Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc] plants grown in pots. The two horse gram varieties PAIYUR-2 and CO-1 were used for the study. Sampling was done on 15th Days After Treatment (DAT) and 30th DAT from control and salinity treated plants. The response of the horsegram plants to salinity stress was analyzed by estimating the levels of antioxidant enzyme activity. In addition, the activities of key antioxidative enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) also significantly increased. The results indicated that plants of variety PAIYUR-2 exhibited higher adaptive potential under salinity stress as judged by increased antioxidative enzymes activities when compared to variety CO-1. From the results of this investigation, it may be concluded that plants of variety PAIYUR-2 have high adaptive potential under salinity when compared to variety CO-1. Key Words: Salt Stress, Antioxidant System, Horse gram, Osmotic stress INTRODUCTION Plants throughout their life cycle experience various types of environmental stresses (such as drought, salinity, high temperature, cold, heavy metal and other similar stresses) due to their sessile nature.
