However, genes regulating this ability are largely unknown. Transcription factors (TFs) regulate transcription of their target genes, regulate downstream biological processes, and thus are candidates for regulators of such tolerance of pearl millet. PgWRKY74 encodes a group IIc WRKY TF in pearl millet and is downregulated by drought. PgWRKY74 may have a role in drought tolerance. The objective of this study was to gain insights into the physiological and biochemical functions of PgWRKY74. Yeast one-hybrid and gel shift assays were performed to examine transcriptional activation potential and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-binding ability, respectively. Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants overexpressing PgWRKY74-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion gene were generated and tested for growth and stress-responsive gene expression under mannitol and NaCl-stressed conditions. A construct with PgWRKY74 enabled yeast reporter cells to survive on test media in the yeast one-hybrid assays. The electrophoretic mobility of DNA with putative WRKY TF-binding motifs was lower in the presence of a recombinant PgWRKY74 protein than its absence. The PgWRKY74-GFP-overexpressing Arabidopsis plants exhibited smaller rosette areas than did wild-type plants under mannitol-stressed and NaCl-stressed conditions, and exhibited weaker expression of RD29B, which is induced by the stress-related phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), under the mannitol-stressed condition.

However, accurate isolation and simultaneously quantification of sEVs remain a huge challenge. We have introduced a new technique that combines immobilization with aptamer-assisted dual cycle amplification to isolate and analyze sEVs with high sensitivity. In this method, the CD9 protein antibody is attached to the plate’s surface for the initial identification of sEVs, while an aptamer probe is used to detect the exosomal surface protein CD63. We have created an sEVs-surface method that combines target recognition initiated signal recycling and rolling circle amplification (RCA) for signal amplification. This approach allows for the “AND” logic analysis of dual biomarkers, enabling both sEVs quantification and tracing. The proposed approach has a broad detection range and a low limit of detection. Moreover, the established method showed good stability in detecting sEVs with a low coefficient of variation. Our method can effectively isolate certain sEVs and accurately identify them, making it suitable for many uses in biological science, biomedical engineering, and personalized medicine.</p>","PeriodicalId":8929,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Letters","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142186270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
