Complete plastome sequence of Torenia concolor Lindley (Linderniaceae): an ornamental herb.

ABSTRACT: In this study we firstly reported the complete chloroplast genome of Torenia concolor, a species of Linderniaceae. The complete chloroplast genome of T. concolor is 153,853?bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure, consisting of a large single-copy region (LSC, 85,446?bp), a single-copy region (SSC, 18,837?bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 24,785?bp). There are 114 genes annotated, including 80 unique protein-coding genes, 4 unique ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. To investigate the evolution status of T. concolor, as well as Linderniaceae, we constructed a phylogenetic tree with T. concolor and other 16 species based on their complete chloroplast genomes. According to the phylogenetic topologies, T. concolor was closely related to Pedicularis hallaisanensis.

Endothelial Nitric Oxide Mediates the Anti-Atherosclerotic Action of Torenia concolor Lindley var. Formosama Yamazaki.

Project description:Torenia concolor Lindley var. formosama Yamazaki ethanolic extract (TCEE) is reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties. However, the effects of TCEE and its underlying mechanisms in the activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) have not yet been investigated. Increasing the endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) production has been known to be beneficial against the development of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated the effect of TCEE on eNOS activation and NO-related endothelial function and inflammation by using an in vitro system. In endothelial cells (ECs), TCEE increased NO production in a concentration-dependent manner without affecting the expression of eNOS. In addition, TCEE increased the phosphorylation of eNOS at serine 635 residue (Ser635) and Ser1179, Akt at Ser473, calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) at threonine residue 286 (Thr286), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) at Thr172. Moreover, TCEE-induced NO production, and EC proliferation, migration, and tube formation were diminished by pretreatment with LY294002 (an Akt inhibitor), KN62 (a CaMKII inhibitor), and compound C (an AMPK inhibitor). Additionally, TCEE attenuated the tumor necrosis factor-?-induced inflammatory response as evidenced by the expression of adhesion molecules in ECs and monocyte adhesion onto ECs. These inflammatory effects of TCEE were abolished by L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (an NOS inhibitor). Moreover, chronic treatment with TCEE attenuated hyperlipidemia, systemic and aortic inflammatory response, and the atherosclerotic lesions in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. Collectively, our findings suggest that TCEE may confer protection from atherosclerosis by preventing endothelial dysfunction.

Project description:In the current study, we sequenced the complete plastome of Monstera deliciosa Liebm. (1849), an attractive foliage plant. The total length of the plastome of M. deliciosa is 163,499 bp and it consists of three distinct regions: a large single-copy (90,092 bp), a small single-copy (21,737 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,835 bp). The overall GC content is 36.2%, and the genome contains 110 functional genes, excluding pseudogenes. These functional genes encompass 77 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNA genes, and four ribosomal RNA genes. Notably, both the infA and rpl23 genes have been identified as pseudogenes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 14 representative plastomes from seven subfamilies indicates that Monsteroideae is monophyletic and sister to Pothoideae. Furthermore, M. deliciosa and M. adansonii were shown to share a recent common ancestor, the finding for which is supported by a strong bootstrap value. The sequenced plastome of M. deliciosa can serve as a valuable resource for establishing phylogenetic relationships and enhancing species identification within the genus Monstera. In addition, it can facilitate investigations into the genetic characteristics of this plant.

Identification and characterization of TcCRP1, a pollen tube attractant from Torenia concolor.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND AIMS: During sexual reproduction in higher angiosperms, the pollen tubes are directed to the ovules in the pistil to deliver sperm cells. This pollen tube attraction is highly species specific, and a group of small secreted proteins, TfCRPs, are necessary for this process in Torenia fournieri. METHODS: A candidate pollen tube attractant protein in Torenia concolor, a related species of T. fournieri, was isolated and the attractant abilities between them were compared. KEY RESULTS: TcCRP1, an orthologous gene of TfCRP1 from T. concolor, is expressed predominantly in the synergid cell. The gene product attracted pollen tubes in a concentration-dependent manner, but attracted fewer pollen tubes from the other species. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that this class of CRP proteins is a common pollen tube attractant in Torenia species. The sequence diversity of these proteins is important for species-specific pollen tube attraction.
