The East China Sea Shelf basin is a large marginal rift basin occurred in backarc area of west Pacific. Three main regional unconformities and eleven sequence boundary isochronous surfaces (hiatuses) were developed within the basin filling, which are separared the fill succession into three tectonic sequences and fourteen sequences. The depositional response of every tectonic sequence indicates the different phases in the evolution of basin and a specific filling process or filling pattern.展开更多

The MYB TF BplMYB46, from Betula platyphylla, is involved in abiotic stress responses and secondary wall deposition. In the present study, we used a TF-centered yeast onehybrid technology (TF-centered YIH) to identify the cis- acting elements bound by BplMYB46. We screened a shortinsert random library and identified three cis-elements bound by BplMYB46: an E-box (CA(A/T/C)(A/G/C)TG) and two novel motifs, a TO-box (T(GIA)TCG(C/G)) and a GT-box (A(G/T)T(AIC)GT(T/G)C). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) and effector-reporter coexpression assays inNicotiana tabacum confirmed binding of BplMYB46 to the TC-box, GT-box, and E-box motifs in the promoters of the phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), peroxidase (POD), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) genes, which function in abiotic stress tolerance and secondary wall biosynthesis. This finding improves our understanding of potential regulatory mechanisms in the response to abiotic stress and secondary wall deposition of BplMYB46 in B. platyphylla.展开更多
