Venzhik Y, Deryabin A, Dykman L. Nanomaterials in plant physiology: Main effects in normal and under temperature stress. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 346:112148. [PMID: 38838991 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2024.112148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Global climate change and high population growth rates lead to problems of food security and environmental pollution, which require new effective methods to increase yields and stress tolerance of important crops. Nowadays the question of using artificial chemicals is very relevant in theoretical and practical terms. It is important that such substances in low concentrations protect plants under stress conditions, but at the same time inflict minimal damage on the environment and human health. Nanotechnology, which allows the production of a wide range of nanomaterials (NM), provides novel techniques in this direction. NM include structures less than 100 nm. The review presents data on the methods of NM production, their properties, pathways for arrival in plants and their use in human life. It is shown that NM, due to their unique physical and chemical properties, can cross biological barriers and accumulate in cells of live organisms. The influence of NM on plant organism can be both positive and negative, depending on the NM chemical nature, their size and dose, the object of study, and the environmental conditions. This review provides a comparative analysis of the effect of artificial metal nanoparticles (NPm), the commonly employed NMs in plant physiology, on two important aspects of plant life: photosynthetic apparatus activity and antioxidant system function. According to studies, NM affect not only the functional activity of photosynthetic apparatus, but also structural organization of chloroplats. In addition, the literature analysis reflects the dual action of NM on oxidative processes, and antioxidant status of plants. These facts considerably complicate the ideas about possible mechanisms and further use of NPm in biology. In this regard, data on the effects of NM on plants under abiotic stressors are of great interest. Separate section is devoted to the use of NM as adaptogens that increase plant stress tolerance to unfavorable temperatures. Possible mechanisms of NM effects on plants are discussed, as well as the strategies for their further use in basic science and sustainable agriculture.

Dynamic adaptation of the extremophilic red microalga Cyanidioschyzon merolae to high nickel stress. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 207:108365.

Abstract
The order of Cyanidiales comprises seven acido-thermophilic red microalgal species thriving in hot springs of volcanic origin characterized by extremely low pH, moderately high temperatures and the presence of high concentrations of sulphites and heavy metals that are prohibitive for most other organisms. Little is known about the physiological processes underlying the long-term adaptation of these extremophiles to such hostile environments. Here, we investigated the long-term adaptive responses of a red microalga Cyanidioschyzon merolae, a representative of Cyanidiales, to extremely high nickel concentrations. By the comprehensive physiological, microscopic and elemental analyses we dissected the key physiological processes underlying the long-term adaptation of this model extremophile to high Ni exposure. These include: (i) prevention of significant Ni accumulation inside the cells; (ii) activation of the photoprotective response of non-photochemical quenching; (iii) significant changes of the chloroplast ultrastructure associated with the formation of prolamellar bodies and plastoglobuli together with loosening of the thylakoid membranes; (iv) activation of ROS amelioration machinery; and (v) maintaining the efficient respiratory chain functionality. The dynamically regulated processes identified in this study are discussed in the context of the mechanisms driving the remarkable adaptability of C. merolae to extremely high Ni levels exceeding by several orders of magnitude those found in the natural environment of the microalga. The processes identified in this study provide a solid basis for the future investigation of the specific molecular components and pathways involved in the adaptation of Cyanidiales to the extremely high Ni concentrations.

Abstract
Carbon acquisition, assimilation and storage in eukaryotic microalgae and cyanobacteria occur in multiple compartments that have been characterised by the location of the enzymes involved in these functions. These compartments can be delimited by bilayer membranes, such as the chloroplast, the lumen, the peroxisome, the mitochondria or monolayer membranes, such as lipid droplets or plastoglobules. They can also originate from liquid-liquid phase separation such as the pyrenoid. Multiple exchanges exist between the intracellular microcompartments, and these are reviewed for the CO2 concentration mechanism, the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle, the lipid metabolism and the cellular energetic balance. Progress in microscopy and spectroscopic methods opens new perspectives to characterise the molecular consequences of the location of the proteins involved, including intrinsically disordered proteins.

Abstract
Since decades plant lipid droplets (LDs) are described as storage organelles accumulated in seeds to provide energy for seedling growth after germination. Indeed, LDs are the site of accumulation for neutral lipids, predominantly triacylglycerols (TAGs), one of the most energy-dense molecules, and sterol esters. Such organelles are present in the whole plant kingdom, from microalgae to perennial trees, and can probably be found in all plant tissues. Several studies over the past decade have revealed that LDs are not merely simple energy storage compartments, but also dynamic structures involved in diverse cellular processes like membrane remodeling, regulation of energy homeostasis and stress responses. In this review, we aim to highlight the functions of LDs in plant development and response to environmental changes. In particular, we tackle the fate and roles of LDs during the plant post-stress recovery phase.

PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2023; 332:111722.

Abstract
The review is focused on a comparative analysis of the literature data on the ultrastructural reorganization of leaf cells of higher plants, which differ in their response to low sub-damaging temperatures. The importance of adaptive structural reorganization of cells as a special feature contributing to the surviving strategy of plants existing under changed conditions is emphasized. The adaptive strategy of cold-tolerant plants combines the structural, functional, metabolic, physiological and biochemical reorganization of cells and tissues. These changes constitute a unified program directed to protecting against dehydration and oxidative stress, as well as maintaining basic physiological processes, and above all, photosynthesis. The ultrastructural markers of cold-tolerant plants adaptation to low sub-damaging temperatures include some particular changes in cell morphology. Namely: the following: an increase in the volume of the cytoplasm; the formation of new membrane elements in it; an increase in the size and number of chloroplasts and mitochondria; concentration of mitochondria and peroxisomes near chloroplasts; polymorphism of mitochondria; an increase in the number of cristae in them; the appearance of outgrowths and invaginations in chloroplasts; lumen expansion in the thylakoids; the formation in chloroplasts "sun type" membrane system with reduction in the number and size of grana and domination of non-appressed thylakoids membranes. Due to this adaptive structural reorganization cold-tolerant plants are able to function actively during chilling. On the contrary, structural reorganization of leaf cells of cold-sensitive plants under chilling is aimed at maintaining the basic functions at a minimum level. Cold-sensitive plants "wait out" low temperature stress, and with prolonged exposure to cold, they die from dehydration and intensification of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Plastids are complex organelles that vary in size and function depending on the cell type. Accordingly, they can be referred to as amyloplasts, chloroplasts, chromoplasts, etioplasts, proplasts to only cite a few denominations. Over the past decades, methods based on density gradients and differential centrifugations have been extensively used for the purification of plastids. However, these methods need large amounts of starting material, and hardly provide a tissue-specific resolution. Here, we applied our IPTACT (Isolation of Plastids TAgged in specific Cell Types) method, which involves the biotinylation of plastids in vivo using one-shot transgenic lines expressing the TOC64 gene coupled with a biotin ligase receptor particle and the BirA biotin ligase, to isolate plastids from mesophyll and companion cells of Arabidopsis thaliana using tissue specific pCAB3 and pSUC2 promoters, respectively. Subsequently, a proteome profiling was performed, and allowed the identification of 1672 proteins, among which 1342 were predicted plastidial, and 705 were fully confirmed according to SUBA5. Interestingly, although 92% of plastidial proteins were equally distributed between the two tissues, we observed an accumulation of proteins associated with jasmonic acid biosynthesis, plastoglobuli (e.g. NDC1, VTE1, PGL34, ABC1K1) and cyclic electron flow in plastids originating from vascular tissues. Besides demonstrating the technical feasibility of isolating plastids in a tissue-specific manner, our work provides strong evidence that plastids from vascular tissue have a higher redox turnover to ensure optimal functioning, notably under high solute strength as encountered in vascular cells.

Enhancing Urban Wastewater Treatment through Isolated Chlorella Strain-Based Phytoremediation in Centrate Stream: An Analysis of Algae Morpho-Physiology and Nutrients Removal Efficiency. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:1027. [PMID: 36903888 PMCID: PMC10004828 DOI: 10.3390/plants12051027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The release of inadequately treated urban wastewater is the main cause of environmental pollution of aquatic ecosystems. Among efficient and environmentally friendly technologies to improve the remediation process, those based on microalgae represent an attractive alternative due to the potential of microalgae to remove nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from wastewaters. In this work, microalgae were isolated from the centrate stream of an urban wastewater treatment plant and a native Chlorella-like species was selected for studies on nutrient removal from centrate streams. Comparative experiments were set up using 100% centrate and BG11 synthetic medium, modified with the same N and P as the effluent. Since microalgal growth in 100% effluent was inhibited, cultivation of microalgae was performed by mixing tap-freshwater with centrate at increasing percentages (50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%). While algal biomass and nutrient removal was little affected by the differently diluted effluent, morpho-physiological parameters (FV/FM ratio, carotenoids, chloroplast ultrastructure) showed that cell stress increased with increasing amounts of centrate. However, the production of an algal biomass enriched in carotenoids and P, together with N and P abatement in the effluent, supports promising microalgae applications that combine centrate remediation with the production of compounds of biotechnological interest; for example, for organic agriculture.
