Abstract
Foxtail millet is a C4 crop rich in folate (FA). This study explores the roles of the 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase (ADCL) – a member of the transaminase IV group of enzymes – in FA metabolism and conferred phenotypes. Phylogenetic comparisons identified diversity in the transaminase IV/ADCL gene family in the foxtail millet genome which was associated with genomic duplications. Molecular docking studies suggested that SiADCL1 bound most strongly to aminodeoxychorismate (ADC) and most likely had the highest catalytic activities. SiADCL1 which was highly expressed in roots, peduncles and flag leaves. Over-expression of SiADCL1 in Arabidopsis significantly increased total FA content (1.14–1.84 fold) and this was linked to a delayed flowering time. Metabolomic and transcriptomic characterization of the derived over-expression lines, found that FA promotes the change of methylation-related genes, ethylene synthesis, amino acid metabolism and flowering-related genes. This study revealed a potential gene coexpression network linked with FA and targeted key genes that could be exploited in foxtail millet breeding programs.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
