The association analysis of 16 basal mtDNA haplogroups with body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio reveals that only haplogroup M7 is significantly negatively correlated with all three adiposity-related anthropometric traits in the overall cohort, verified by the analysis of a single population, i.e., the Zhengzhou population. Furthermore, subhaplogroup analysis suggests that M7b1a1 is the most likely haplogroup associated with a decreased obesity risk, and the variation T12811C (causing Y159H in ND5) harbored in M7b1a1 may be the most likely candidate for altering the mitochondrial function. Specifically, we find that proportionally more nonsynonymous mutations accumulate in M7b1a1 carriers, indicating that M7b1a1 is either under positive selection or subject to a relaxation of selective constraints.

A key architectural trait for crops adapting to high planting density is a smaller leaf angle (LA). Previous studies have demonstrated that LG1, a SQUAMOSA BINDING PROTEIN (SBP) transcription factor, plays a critical role in LA establishment. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of LG1 on LA formation remain largely unclear. In this study, we conduct comparative RNA-seq analysis of the preligule band (PLB) region of wild type and lg1 mutant leaves. Gene Ontology (GO) term enrichment analysis reveals enrichment of phytohormone pathways and transcription factors, including three auxin transporter genes ZmPIN1a, ZmPIN1b, and ZmPIN1c. Further molecular experiments demonstrate that LG1 can directly bind to the promoter region of these auxin transporter genes and activate their transcription. We also show that double and triple mutants of these ZmPINs genes exhibit varying degrees of auricle size reduction and thus decreased LA. On the contrary, overexpression of ZmPIN1a causes larger auricle and LA. Taken together, our findings establish a functional link between LG1 and auxin transport in regulating PLB formation and provide valuable targets for genetic improvement of LA for breeding high-density tolerant maize cultivars.</p>","PeriodicalId":54825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetics and Genomics","volume":" ","pages":"356-366"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
