| genome-wide characterization of major intrinsic proteins in four grass plants and their non-aqua transport selectivity profiles with comparative perspective. | major intrinsic proteins (mips), commonly known as aquaporins, transport not only water in plants but also other substrates of physiological significance and heavy metals. in most of the higher plants, mips are divided into five subfamilies (pips, tips, nips, sips and xips). herein, we identified 68, 42, 38 and 28 full-length mips, respectively in the genomes of four monocot grass plants, specifically panicum virgatum, setaria italica, sorghum bicolor and brachypodium distachyon. phylogenetic an ... | 2016 | 27327960 |
| an aba-responsive dre-binding protein gene from setaria italica, siardp, the target gene of siareb, plays a critical role under drought stress. | the dreb (dehydration-responsive element binding)-type transcription factors regulate the expression of stress-inducible genes by binding the dre/crt cis-elements in promoter regions. the upstream transcription factors that regulate the transcription of dreb transcription factors have not been clearly defined, although the function of dreb transcription factors in abiotic stress is known. in this study, an abscisic acid (aba)-responsive dreb-binding protein gene (siardp) was cloned from foxtail ... | 2014 | 25071221 |
| archaeobotanical study of ancient food and cereal remains at the astana cemeteries, xinjiang, china. | starch grain, phytolith and cereal bran fragments were analyzed in order to identify the food remains including cakes, dumplings, as well as porridge unearthed at the astana cemeteries in turpan of xinjiang, china. the results suggest that the cakes were made from triticum aestivum while the dumplings were made from triticum aestivum, along with setaria italica. the ingredients of the porridge remains emanated from panicum miliaceum. moreover, direct macrobotantical evidence of the utilization o ... | 2012 | 23028807 |

| infectious transcripts of an asymptomatic panicovirus identified from a metagenomic survey. | a new panicovirus was identified from a metagenomic survey of plant viruses in the tallgrass prairie preserve (tpp), osage county, oklahoma, usa. thin paspalum asymptomatic virus (tpav) was isolated from paspalum setaceum var. muehlenbergii. the complete 4195 nucleotide sequence encodes six proteins of 44, 109, 8, 6.8, 26, and 15kda, whose genes are similar in size and location to those of panicum mosaic virus (pmv) and cocksfoot mild mosaic virus (cmmv). infectious transcripts made from cdnas o ... | 2013 | 23774065 |
| herbaceous vegetation productivity, persistence, and metals uptake on a biosolids-amended mine soil. | the selection of plant species is critical for the successful establishment and long-term maintenance of vegetation on reclaimed surface mined soils. a study was conducted to assess the capability of 16 forage grass and legume species in monocultures and mixes to establish and thrive on a reclaimed appalachian surface mine amended with biosolids. the 0.15-ha coarse-textured, rocky, non-acid forming mined site was prepared for planting by grading to a 2% slope and amending sandstone overburden ma ... | 2012 | 16151233 |
| the complete chloroplast genome of an irreplaceable dietary and model crop, foxtail millet (setaria italica). | the complete chloroplast genome sequence of foxtail millet (setaria italica), an important food and fodder crop in the family poaceae, is first reported in this study. the genome consists of 1 35 516 bp containing a pair of inverted repeats (irs) of 21 804 bp separated by a large single-copy (lsc) region and a small single-copy (ssc) region of 79 896 bp and 12 012 bp, respectively. coding sequences constitute 58.8% of the genome harboring 111 unique genes, 71 of which are protein-coding genes, 4 ... | 2016 | 26486605 |
| genome-wide development and use of microsatellite markers for large-scale genotyping applications in foxtail millet [setaria italica (l.)]. | the availability of well-validated informative co-dominant microsatellite markers and saturated genetic linkage map has been limited in foxtail millet (setaria italica l.). in view of this, we conducted a genome-wide analysis and identified 28 342 microsatellite repeat-motifs spanning 405.3 mb of foxtail millet genome. the trinucleotide repeats (∼48%) was prevalent when compared with dinucleotide repeats (∼46%). of the 28 342 microsatellites, 21 294 (∼75%) primer pairs were successfully designed ... | 2013 | 23382459 |
| genetic diversity and genomic resources available for the small millet crops to accelerate a new green revolution. | small millets are nutrient-rich food sources traditionally grown and consumed by subsistence farmers in asia and africa. they include finger millet (eleusine coracana), foxtail millet (setaria italica), kodo millet (paspalum scrobiculatum), proso millet (panicum miliaceum), barnyard millet (echinochloa spp.), and little millet (panicum sumatrense). local farmers value the small millets for their nutritional and health benefits, tolerance to extreme stress including drought, and ability to grow u ... | 2015 | 25852710 |
