Abstract
Environmental stresses severely affect plant growth and crop productivity. Regulated by 14-3-3 proteins (14-3-3s), H+-ATPases (AHAs) are important proton pumps that can induce diverse secondary transport via channels and co-transporters for the abiotic stress response of plants. Many studies demonstrated the roles of 14-3-3s and AHAs in coordinating the processes of plant growth, phytohormone signaling, and stress responses. However, the molecular evolution of 14-3-3s and AHAs has not been summarized in parallel with evolutionary insights across multiple plant species. Here, we comprehensively review the roles of 14-3-3s and AHAs in cell signaling to enhance plant responses to diverse environmental stresses. We analyzed the molecular evolution of key proteins and functional domains that are associated with 14-3-3s and AHAs in plant growth and hormone signaling. The results revealed evolution, duplication, contraction, and expansion of 14-3-3s and AHAs in green plants. We also discussed the stress-specific expression of those 14-3-3and AHA genes in a eudicotyledon (Arabidopsis thaliana), a monocotyledon (Hordeum vulgare), and a moss (Physcomitrium patens) under abiotic stresses. We propose that 14-3-3s and AHAs respond to abiotic stresses through many important targets and signaling components of phytohormones, which could be promising to improve plant tolerance to single or multiple environmental stresses.

Ren J, Zhang P, Dai Y, Liu X, Lu S, Guo L, Gou H, Mao J. Evolution of the 14-3-3 gene family in monocotyledons and dicotyledons and validation of MdGRF13 function in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana. PLANT CELL REPORTS 2023:10.1007/s00299-023-03035-4. [PMID: 37253815 DOI: 10.1007/s00299-023-03035-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
KEY MESSAGE The 14-3-3 family is more highly conserved among monocotyledons, and overexpression of MdGRF13 improved drought and salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana. The 14-3-3 are highly conserved regulatory proteins found in eukaryotes and play an essential role in plant growth, development and stress response. However, the 14-3-3 gene family evolution in monocotyledons and dicotyledons and the biological functions of the MdGRF13 under abiotic stress remain unknown. In our study, 195 members of the 14-3-3 family were identified from 12 species and divided into ε group and the Non-ε group. Synteny analysis within the 14-3-3 family indicated that segmental duplication events contributed to the expansion of the family. Selective pressure analysis indicated that purifying selection was a vital force in the 14-3-3 genes evolution, and monocotyledons had a lower million years ago (Mya) mean values than dicotyledons. Meanwhile, the codon adaptation index (CAI) and frequency of optical codons (FOP) are higher and the effective number of codons (Nc) is lower in monocotyledons 14-3-3 genes compared to dicotyledons. Moreover, the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) demonstrated that MdGRF13 interacts with MdRD22, MdLHP1a and MdMORF1. Significantly, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and relative conductivity were decreased, while the superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) activities were increased in transgenic Arabidopsis compared to the wild type (WT) under drought and salt stress. These results suggest that overexpression of MdGRF13 significantly improved the tolerance to drought and salt stress in transgenic Arabidopsis. Thus, our results provide a theoretical basis for exploring the evolution and function of the 14-3-3 gene family in monocotyledons and dicotyledons.
