“…Some bHLH family genes are involved in regulation of root epidermal cells, xylem development, root elongation and maintenance of the root apical meristem in Arabidopsis (Bernhardt et al 2003;Ohashi-Ito et al 2013;Katayama et al 2015;Tian et al 2015). In tomato, SlMBP9, a MADS box gene, suppresses lateral root formation by reducing auxin responses (Li et al 2019). The tomato root-related TFs identified in this study are thus primary candidates for understanding root development and regulation of its growth.…”

Tomato is an economically important vegetable crop and a model for development and stress response studies. Although studied extensively for understanding fruit ripening and pathogen responses, its role as a model for root development remains less explored. In this study, an Illumina-based comparative differential transcriptomic analysis of tomato root with different aerial tissues was carried out to identify genes that are predominantly expressed during root growth. Sequential comparisons revealed * 15,000 commonly expressed genes and * 3000 genes of several classes that were mainly expressed or regulated in roots. These included 1069 transcription factors (TFs) of which 100 were differentially regulated. Prominent amongst these were members of families encoding Zn finger, MYB, ARM, bHLH, AP2/ ERF, WRKY and NAC proteins. A large number of kinases, phosphatases and F-box proteins were also expressed in the root transcriptome. The major hormones regulating root growth were represented by the auxin, ethylene, JA, ABA and GA pathways with root-specific expression of certain components. Genes encoding carbon metabolism and photosynthetic components showed reduced expression while several protease inhibitors were amongst the most highly expressed. Overall, the study sheds light on genes governing root growth in tomato and provides a resource for manipulation of root growth for plant improvement.

“…In this study, we found that VvMADS4 is a potential transcription factor negatively regulating VvCCD4b expression. MADS transcription factors regulate fruit ripening (Ito et al, 2008), vegetative organ development (Guo et al, 2017;Li et al, 2019), flowering time (Jeon et al, 2000;Alter et al, 2016), floral meristem and organ identity (Thompson et al, 2009), stress tolerance (Guo et al, 2016), and metabolism (Lu et al, 2018;Zha et al, 2019). MADS proteins are divided into Type I and Type II based on conserved motifs and exon count.…”

Norisoprenoids are important aromatic volatiles contributing to the pleasant floral/fruity odor in grapes and wine. They are produced from carotenoids through the cleavage of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs). However, the underlying mechanisms regulating VvCCD expression remain poorly understood. In this study, we showed that VvCCD4b expression was positively correlated with the accumulation of β-damascenone, β-ionone, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, geranylacetone, dihydroedulan I, and total norisoprenoids in developing grapes in two vintages from two regions. VvCCD4b was found to be principally expressed in flowers, mature leaves, and berries. Abscisic acid strongly induced the expression of this gene. Additionally, the present study preliminarily indicated that the activity of the VvCCD4b promoter was dropped under 37 • C treatment and also responded to the illumination change. VvCCD4b was expressed in parallel with VvMADS4 in developing grape berries. The latter is a MADS family transcription factor and nucleus-localized protein that was captured by yeast one-hybrid. A dual-luciferase reporter assay in tobacco leaves revealed that VvMADS4 downregulated the activity of the VvCCD4b promoter. VvMADS4 overexpression in grape calli and Vitis quinquangularis Rehd. leaves repressed the VvCCD4b expression. In summary, this work demonstrates that VvCCD4b expression is positively correlated with the accumulation of norisoprenoids, and VvMADS4 is a potential negative regulator of VvCCD4b. Our results provide a new perspective for understanding the regulation of VvCCD4b expression and norisoprenoid accumulation in grapes.

The MADS-box gene family controls plant flowering and floral organ development; therefore, it is particularly important in ornamental plants. To investigate the genes associated with the MADS-box family in Clematis courtoisii, we performed full-length transcriptome sequencing on C. courtoisii using the PacBio Sequel third-generation sequencing platform, as no reference genome data was available. A total of 12.38 Gb of data, containing 9,476,585 subreads and 50,439 Unigenes were obtained. According to functional annotation, a total of 37,923 Unigenes (75.18% of the total) were assigned with functional annotations, and 50 Unigenes were identified as MADS-box related genes. Subsequently, we employed hmmerscan to perform protein sequence similarity search for the translated Unigene sequences and successfully identified 19 Unigenes associated with the MADS-box gene family, including MIKC*(1) and MIKCC (18) genes. Furthermore, within the MIKCC group, six subclasses can be further distinguished.
