Studying of the regulatory roles of response regulators GlrR and ArcA in xenocoumacins biosynthesis in Xenorhabdus nematophila CB61 J. Integr. Agric. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Xiaohui Li, Xiaobing Zheng, Yijie Dong, Youcai Qin, Fenglian Jia, Baoming Yuan, Jiaqi Duan, Beibei Li, Guangyue Li
Xenocoumacins (Xcns), the major antimicrobial natural products produced by , have gained widespread attention for their potential application in crop protection. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis of Xcns remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified 21 potential two-component systems (TCSs) in CB6 by bioinformatic analysis. Among them, the response regulators

The P-type pentatricopeptide repeat protein YGS is essential for chloroplast development in rice J. Integr. Agric. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Zhennan Qiu, Dongdong Chen, Peiliang Zhang, Chunmiao Wang, Guihong Liang, Chunyang Jiao, Shuo Han, Cuiping Wen, Xiliang Song, Peiyan Guan, Yan Li, Shiyong Wen, Li Zhu
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins play crucial roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, specifically RNA editing and RNA splicing, in plant organelles. Despite longstanding research on chloroplast biogenesis and development, the roles of most PPR genes in this process in rice () remain unclear. In this study, we identified a novel P-type PPR protein, YELLOW-GREEN LEAF

Effects of long-term partial substitution of inorganic fertilizer with pig manure and/or straw on nitrogen fractions and microbiological properties in greenhouse vegetable soils? J. Integr. Agric. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Shuo Yuan, Ruonan Li, Yinjie Zhang, Haoan Luan, Jiwei Tang, Liying Wang, Hongjie Ji, Shaowen Huang
Partial substitution of inorganic fertilizers with organic amendments is an important agricultural management practice. An 11-year field experiment (22 cropping periods) was carried out to analyze the impacts of different partial substitution treatments on crop yields and the transformation of nitrogen fractions in greenhouse vegetable soil. Four treatments with equal N, PO, and KO inputs were selected
