Root and vascular tissue-specific expression of glycine-rich protein AtGRP9 and its interaction with AtCAD5, a cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase,in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Arabidopsis thaliana</Emphasis>

The vascular tissue of roots performs essential roles in the physical support and transport of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules in higher plants. The molecular mechanisms underlying the function of root vascular tissue are poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the expression pattern of AtGRP9, a salt stress-responsive gene encoding a glycine-rich protein, and its interacting partner, in Arabidopsis thaliana. Analysis of GUS or GFP expression under the control of the AtGRP9 promoter showed that AtGRP9 was expressed in the vascular tissue of the root; subcellular localization analysis further demonstrated that AtGRP9 proteins were localized in the cell wall and in the cytoplasm. Yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed that AtGRP9 interacted with AtCAD5, a major cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) involved in lignin biosynthesis, for which tissue-specific distribution was comparable with that of AtGRP9. These results suggest that AtGRP9 may be involved in lignin synthesis in response to salt stress as a result of its interaction with AtCAD5 in A. thaliana.

First complete mitochondrial genomes of Ototretinae (Coleoptera,Lampyridae) with evolutionary insights into the gene rearrangement

The subfamily Ototretinae represents an important and unusual lineage of fireflies. Here, we sequenced and annotated three mitogenomes for this subfamily, with two Stenocladius species and one Drilaster species as representatives. The mitogenome of Stenocladius exhibits a rearranged gene order between trnC and trnW caused by transposition, which is a novel finding in Lampyridae. Meanwhile, a long intergenic space (241 to 376 bp) exists between the two rearranged genes, and some remnants (23 bp) of trnW are present within this non-coding region. Moreover, phylogenetic analyses did not recover the monophyly of Ototretinae, in which Drilaster is shown at a basal lineage in Lampyridae, but Stenocladius seems more related to Luciolinae. Therefore, the gene rearrangement in Stenocladius is presumed to result from independent evolutionary events, suggesting that this genus should be placed in a separate lineage. Nevertheless, more representative mitogenomes from different groups are required to verify the present results.
