10 Questions

What is the purpose of polyadenylation in eukaryotic post-transcriptional processing?

Signal recognition function, prevents mRNA degradation, participates in protein translation process

What is alternative Polyadenylation (APA) and why is it important?

Selective use of polyadenylation sites by genes; important role in plant response to the environment

What are some physiological changes observed in plants under low temperature stress?

Increased MDA, proline, soluble sugar levels; electrolyte leakage

How do osmotic regulators like proline and soluble sugar help plants during dehydration under low temperature stress?

Increase stability of plant cell membranes, protect cells, balance osmotic pressure

What are DEGs identified as responsive to low temperature stress and how many were identified in the study?

Different expression genes; 6381 DEGs

What is the role of alternative splicing (AS) in plants' response to stress?

AS played a key role in the response of plants to various biotic and abiotic stresses.

How many alternative splicing (AS) events were predicted in potatoes under low-temperature stress?

6917 AS events were predicted.

What is a SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) and how is it useful in plant genetic breeding?

SSR is a type of tandem repeat sequence that can be used as molecular markers in genetic breeding for plant resistance.

How have SSR markers been utilized in identifying resistance sites in plants?

SSR markers were used to identify 4 resistance sites related to phytophthora sojae resistance through association analysis.

What type of sequence is SSR composed of and how does it vary among individuals?

SSR consists of 1–6 nucleotide repeating units and varies among individuals, resulting in site polymorphism.

Explore the significance of alternative splicing (AS) in regulating gene expression in plants under different stress conditions such as low-temperature and salt stress. Discover how AS influences stress response pathways and helps plants adapt to environmental challenges.
