RESUMEN

Yield improvement has long been an important task for soybean breeding in the world in order to meet the increasing demand for food and animal feed. miR396 genes have been shown to negatively regulate grain size in rice, but whether miR396 family members may function in a similar manner in soybean is unknown. Here, we generated eight soybean mutants harboring different combinations of homozygous mutations in the six soybean miR396 genes through genome editing with clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated nuclease (Cas)12SF01 in the elite soybean cultivar Zhonghuang 302 (ZH302). Four triple mutants (mir396aci, mir396acd, mir396adf, and mir396cdf), two quadruple mutants (mir396abcd and mir396acfi), and two quintuple mutants (mir396abcdf and mir396bcdfi) were characterized. We found that plants of all the mir396 mutants produced larger seeds compared to ZH302 plants. Field tests showed that mir396adf and mir396cdf plants have significantly increased yield in growth zones with relatively high latitude which are suited for ZH302 and moderately increased yield in lower latitude. In contrast, mir396abcdf and mir396bcdfi plants have increased plant height and decreased yield in growth zones with relatively high latitude due to lodging issues, but they are suited for low latitude growth zones with increased yield without lodging problems. Taken together, our study demonstrated that loss-of-function of miR396 genes leads to significantly enlarged seed size and increased yield in soybean, providing valuable germplasms for breeding high-yield soybean.

RESUMEN

To cope with phosphate (Pi) starvation, plants trigger an array of adaptive responses to sustain their growth and development. These responses are largely controlled at transcriptional levels. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), PHOSPHATE RESPONSE 1 (PHR1) is a key regulator of plant physiological and transcriptional responses to Pi starvation. PHR1 belongs to a MYB-CC-type transcription factor family which contains 15 members. In this PHR1 family, PHR1/PHR1-like 1(PHL1) and PHL2/PHL3 form two distinct modules in regulating plant development and transcriptional responses to Pi starvation. PHL4 is the most closely related member to PHR1. Previously, using the phr1phl4 mutant, we showed that PHL4 is also involved in regulating plant Pi responses. However, the precise roles of PHL1 and PHL4 in regulating plant Pi responses and their functional relationships with PHR1 have not been clearly defined. In this work, we further used the phl1phl4 and phr1phl1phl4 mutants to perform comparative phenotypic and transcriptomic analyses with phr1, phr1phl1, and phr1phl4. The results showed that both PHL1 and PHL4 act redundantly and equally with PHR1 to regulate leaf senescence, Pi starvation induced-inhibition of primary root growth, and accumulation of anthocyanins in shoots. Unlike PHR1 and PHL1, however, the role of PHL4 in maintaining Pi homeostasis is negligible. In regulating transcriptional responses to Pi starvation at genomic levels, both PHL1 and PHL4 play minor roles when acts alone, however, they act synergistically with PHR1. In regulating Pi starvation-responsive genes, PHL4 also function less than PHL1 in terms of the number of the genes it regulates and the magnitude of gene transcription it affects. Furthermore, no synergistic interaction was found between PHL1 and PHL4 in regulating plant response to Pi starvation. Therefore, our results clarified the roles of PHL1 and PHL4 in regulating plant responses to Pi starvation. In addition, this work revealed a new function of these three transcription factors in regulating flowering time.

RESUMEN

Cytosine and adenosine base editors (CBE and ABE) have been widely used in plants, greatly accelerating gene function research and crop breeding. Current base editors can achieve efficient A-to-G and C-to-T/G/A editing. However, efficient and heritable A-to-Y (A-to-T/C) editing remains to be developed in plants. In this study, a series of A-to-K base editor (AKBE) systems were constructed for monocot and dicot plants. Furthermore, nSpCas9 was replaced with the PAM-less Cas9 variant (nSpRY) to expand the target range of the AKBEs. Analysis of 228 T0 rice plants and 121 T0 tomato plants edited using AKBEs at 18 endogenous loci revealed that, in addition to highly efficient A-to-G substitution (41.0% on average), the plant AKBEs can achieve A-to-T conversion with efficiencies of up to 25.9 and 10.5% in rice and tomato, respectively. Moreover, the rice-optimized AKBE generates A-to-C conversion in rice, with an average efficiency of 1.8%, revealing the significant value of plant-optimized AKBE in creating genetic diversity. Although most of the A-to-T and A-to-C edits were chimeric, desired editing types could be transmitted to the T1 offspring, similar to the edits generated by the traditional ABE8e. Besides, using AKBEs to target tyrosine (Y, TAT) or cysteine (C, TGT) achieved the introduction of an early stop codon (TAG/TAA/TGA) of target genes, demonstrating its potential use in gene disruption.

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe autoantibodies production against AT(1)-receptors and alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors and association to risk factors, such as sex, age, family history, course of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases in hypertensive patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 690 patients with essential hypertension admitted to our hospital were selected and autoantibodies against AT(1)-receptors and alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors were detected by ELISA. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed based on obtained data.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Positive rates for antibody against AT(1)-receptors and alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors were 47.1% (325/690) and 36.4% (251/690) respectively in this group of patients. Duration of hypertension history was significantly longer in the antibody against AT(1)-receptors and alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors positive groups [(9.3 +/- 11.0) year, (9.9 +/- 11.1) year] compared to the negative groups [(7.3 +/- 9.3) year, (7.2 +/- 9.5) year, all P < 0.01]. The ratio of family history with hypertension was also significantly higher in antibody positive groups than negative ones (47.69% vs 39.18%, P < 0.01). Regression analysis demonstrated that 5 risk factors were related to positive production of autoantibody against AT(1)-receptors including female gender, age, family history, duration of hypertension history and diabetes. However, just age, family history, duration of hypertension history were main factors responsible to the production of autoantibody against alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors (all P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The environmental and genetic factors contributed to the autoantibody production in patients with essential hypertension.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the association between positive autoantibodies against AT(1)-receptor and cardiac remodeling in primary hypertensive patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Echocardiography was performed and serum autoantibodies against AT(1)-receptor were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 592 patients with primary hypertension. The differences on blood pressure level, course of hypertension, vasoactive substance and echocardiography parameters between the positive group and negative group were compared. Factors related to left ventricular enlargement were analyzed by multiple logistic regressions.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive percentage of autoantibodies against AT(1)-receptor was 38.0% (225/592). End-diastolic right atrial and left ventricular diameters in positive group were significantly larger than that in negative group (P = 0.049 and P = 0.044, respectively). Regression analysis demonstrated that positive autoantibodies against AT(1)-receptor, male gender, diastolic blood pressure and course of hypertension were related to left ventricular enlargement (all P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The autoantibodies against AT(1)-receptor is associated with left ventricular and right atrial enlargement in hypertensive patients.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of autoantibodies against alpha(-) adrenergic receptor on cardiac remodeling in patients with hypertension.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Five hundred and fifty three patients with hypertension in our hospital were selected. The autoantibodies against alpha(1) adrenergic receptor in sera of donor were detected by ELISA, and the results of echocardiography were recorded. By multiple logistic regressions, the risk factors were analyzed on left ventricular enlargement of hypertension.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The percentage of autoantibodies against alpha(1) adrenergic receptor positive was 32.3% (179/553). There were significant difference between the positive group and negative group on the ratio of left atrial enlargement (53.6%, 44.3%, respectively; P < 0.05) and left ventricular enlargement (12.8%, 6.1%, respectively; P < 0.01). The result of regression analysis demonstrated that 4 risk factors were related to left ventricular enlargement, including male, course of disease, heart rate (HR) and autoantibodies against alpha(1) adrenergic receptor in the serum (all P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The autoantibodies against alpha(1) adrenergic receptor have a relationship with left ventricular enlargement of hypertension. Patients with the activity of autoantibodies against alpha(1) adrenergic might contribute to predict cardiac remodeling.</p>
