Abstract
In acidic soils, aluminum (Al) toxicity inhibits the growth and development of plant roots and affects nutrient and water absorption, leading to reduced yield and quality. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate and identify candidate genes for Al tolerance and elucidate their physiological and molecular mechanisms under Al stress. In this study, we identified a new gene OsAlR3 regulating Al tolerance, and analyzed its mechanism from physiological, transcriptional and metabolic levels. Compared with the WT, malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content were significantly increased, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and citric acid (CA) content were significantly decreased in the osalr3 mutant lines when exposed to Al stress. Under Al stress, the osalr3 exhibited decreased expression of antioxidant-related genes and lower organic acid content compared with WT. Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis showed the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway plays an important role in OsAlR3-mediated Al tolerance. Exogenous CA and oxalic acid (OA) could increase total root length and enhance the antioxidant capacity in the mutant lines under Al stress. Conclusively, we found a new gene OsAlR3 that positively regulates Al tolerance by promoting the chelation of Al ions through the secretion of organic acids, and increasing the expression of antioxidant genes.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 467:133687. [PMID: 38325101 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
This study investigates the influence of arsenic (As) and iron (Fe) on the molecular aspects of rice plants. The mRNA-abundance of As (OsLsi, OsPHT, OsNRAMP1, OsABCC1) and Fe (OsIRT, OsNRAMP1, OsYSL, OsFRDL1, OsVIT2, OsSAMS1, OsNAS, OsNAAT1, OsDMAS1, OsTOM1, OsFER) related genes has been observed in 12-d old As and Fe impacted rice varieties. Analyses of phytosiderophores synthesis and Fe-uptake genes affirm the existence of specialized Fe-uptake strategies in rice with varieties PB-1 and Varsha favouring strategy I and II, respectively. Expression of OsNAS3, OsVIT2, OsFER and OsABCC1 indicated PB-1's tolerance towards Fe and As. Analysis of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade members (OsMKK3, OsMKK4, OsMKK6, OsMPK3, OsMPK4, OsMPK7, and OsMPK14) revealed their importance in the fine adjustment of As/Fe in the rice system. A conditional network map was generated based on the gene expression pattern that unfolded the differential dynamics of both rice varieties. The mating based split ubiquitin system determined the interaction of OsIRT1 with OsMPK3, and OsLsi1 with both OsMPK3 and OsMPK4. In-silico tools also confirmed the binding affinities of OsARM1 with OsLsi1, OsMPK3 and OsMPK4, and of OsIDEF1/OsIRO2 with OsIRT1 and OsMPK3, supporting our hypothesis that OsARM1, OsIDEF1, OsIRO2 were active in the connections discovered by mbSUS.

Abstract
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) is a crucial staple and bioenergy crop. Its abiotic stress tolerance holds significant importance in fully utilizing marginal lands. Transcriptional processes regulate abiotic stress responses, yet the molecular regulatory mechanisms in sweet potato remain unclear. In this study, a NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factor, IbNAC087, was identified, which is commonly upregulated in salt- and drought-tolerant germplasms. Overexpression of IbNAC087 increased salt and drought tolerance by increasing jasmonic acid (JA) accumulation and activating reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, whereas silencing this gene resulted in opposite phenotypes. JA-rich IbNAC087-OE (overexpression) plants exhibited more stomatal closure than wild-type (WT) and IbNAC087-Ri plants under NaCl, polyethylene glycol, and methyl jasmonate treatments. IbNAC087 functions as a nuclear transcriptional activator and directly activates the expression of the key JA biosynthesis-related genes lipoxygenase (IbLOX) and allene oxide synthase (IbAOS). Moreover, IbNAC087 physically interacted with a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase NAC087-INTERACTING E3 LIGASE (IbNIEL), negatively regulating salt and drought tolerance in sweet potato. IbNIEL ubiquitinated IbNAC087 to promote 26S proteasome degradation, which weakened its activation on IbLOX and IbAOS. The findings provide insights into the mechanism underlying the IbNIEL-IbNAC087 module regulation of JA-dependent salt and drought response in sweet potato and provide candidate genes for improving abiotic stress tolerance in crops.

Abstract
In plants, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is mainly considered as a gaseous transmitter or signaling molecule that has long been recognized as an essential component of numerous plant cellular and physiological processes. Several subcellular compartments in plants use both enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms to generate H2S. Under normal and stress full conditions exogenous administration of H2S supports a variety of plant developmental processes, including growth and germination, senescence, defense, maturation and antioxidant machinery in plants. Due to their gaseous nature, they are efficiently disseminated to various areas of the cell to balance antioxidant pools and supply sulphur to the cells. Numerous studies have also been reported regarding H2S ability to reduce heavy metal toxicity when combined with other signaling molecules like nitric oxide (NO), abscisic acid (ABA), calcium ion (Ca2+), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (ETH), jasmonic acid (JA), proline (Pro), and melatonin. The current study focuses on multiple pathways for JA and H2S production as well as their signaling functions in plant cells under varied circumstances, more specifically under heavy metal, which also covers role of H2S and Jasmonic acid during heavy metal stress and interaction of hydrogen sulfide with Jasmonic acid.

Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa) is a research model for monocotyledonous plants. Rice is also one of the major staple foods and the primary crop for more than half of the world's population. Increasing industrial activities and the use of different fertilizers and pesticides containing heavy metals (HMs) contribute to the contamination of agriculture fields. HM contamination is among the leading causes that affect the health of rice plants by limiting their growth and causing plant death. Phytohormones have a crucial role in stress-coping mechanisms and in determining a range of plant development and growth aspects during heavy metal stress. This review summarizes the role of different exogenous applications of phytohormones including auxin, cytokinin, gibberellins, ethylene, abscisic acid, strigolactones, jasmonates, brassinosteroids, and salicylic acids in rice plants for mitigating heavy metal stress via manipulation of their stress-related physiological and biochemical processes, and alterations of signaling and biosynthesis of genes. Exogenous administration of phytohormones and regulation of endogenous levels by targeting their biosynthesis/signaling machineries is a potential strategy for protecting rice from HM stress. The current review primarily emphasizes the key mechanistic phytohormonal-mediated strategies for reducing the adverse effects of HM toxicity in rice. Herein, we have provided comprehensive evidence for the effective role of exogenous phytohormones in employing defense responses and tolerance in rice to the phytotoxic effects of HM toxicity along with endogenous hormonal crosstalk for modulation of subcellular mechanisms and modification of stress-related signaling pathways, and uptake and translocation of metals. Altogether, this information offers a systematic understanding of how phytohormones modulate a plant's tolerance to heavy metals and may assist in directing the development of new approaches to strengthen rice plant resistance to HM toxicity.

Abstract
The plant growth regulator, jasmonic acid (JA) has emerged as important molecule and involved in key processes of plants. In this study, we investigated the role of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in achieving tolerance mechanisms against arsenic (As) stress in rice (Oryza sativa). Arsenic toxicity is a major global concern that significantly deteriorate rice production. The application of MeJA (20 μM) and ethylene (150 μL L-1) both individually and/or in combination were found significant in protecting against As-induced toxicity in rice, and significantly improved defense systems. The study shown that the positive influence of MeJA in promoting carbohydrate metabolism, photosynthesis and growth under As stress were the result of its interplay with ethylene biosynthesis and reduced oxidative stress-mediated cellular injuries and cell deaths. Interestingly, the use of JA biosynthesis inhibitor, neomycin (Neo) and ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor, aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) overturned the effects of MeJA and ethylene on plant growth under As stress. From the pooled data, it may also be concluded that Neo treatment to MeJA- treated rice plants restricted JA-mediated responses, implying that application of MeJA modulated ethylene- dependent pathways in response to As stress. Thus, the action of MeJA in As tolerance is found to be mediated by ethylene. The study will shed light on the mechanisms that could be used to ensure the sustainability of rice plants under As stress.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 311:119982.

Abstract
For the first time, we used targeted metabolome to investigate the effects of pH-aluminum (Al) interactions on energy-rich compounds and their metabolites (ECMs) and phytohormones in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) roots. The concentration of total ECMs (TECMs) was reduced by Al-toxicity in 4.0-treated roots, but unaffected significantly in pH 3.0-treated roots. However, the concentrations of most ECMs and TECMs were not lower in pH 4.0 + 1.0 mM Al-treated roots (P4AR) than in pH 3.0 + 1.0 mM Al-treated roots (P3AR). Increased pH improved the adaptability of ECMs to Al-toxicity in roots. For example, increased pH improved the utilization efficiency of ECMs and the conversion of organic phosphorus (P) from P-containing ECMs into available phosphate in Al-treated roots. We identified upregulated cytokinins (CKs), downregulated jasmonic acid (JA), methyl jasmonate (MEJA) and jasmonates (JAs), and unaltered indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and salicylic acid (SA) in P3AR vs pH 3.0 + 0 mM Al-treated roots (P3R); upregulated JA, JAs and IAA, downregulated total CKs, and unaltered MEJA and SA in P4AR vs pH 4.0 + 0 mM Al-treated roots (P4R); and upregulated CKs, downregulated JA, MEJA, JAs and SA, and unaltered IAA in P3AR vs P4AR. Generally viewed, raised pH-mediated increments of JA, MEJA, total JAs, SA and IAA concentrations and reduction of CKs concentration in Al-treated roots might help to maintain nutrient homeostasis, increase Al-toxicity-induced exudation of organic acid anions and the compartmentation of Al in vacuole, and reduce oxidative stress and Al uptake, thereby conferring root Al-tolerance. In short, elevated pH-mediated mitigation of root Al-stress involved the regulation of ECMs and phytohormones.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) stress in acidic soils has severe negative effects on crop productivity. In this study, the alleviating effect and related mechanism of malate on Al stress in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) seedlings were investigated. The findings indicated that malate alleviated the growth inhibition of quinoa seedlings under Al stress, maintained the enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant systems, and aided resistance to the damage caused by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Under Al stress, malate significantly increased the contents of chlorophyll and carotenoids in quinoa shoots by 103.8% and 240.7%, and significantly increased the ratios of glutathione (GSH)/oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and ascorbate (AsA)/dehydroascorbate (DHA) in roots by 59.9% and 699.2%, respectively. However, malate significantly decreased the superoxide radical (O2•-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA) and Al contents in quinoa roots under Al stress by 32.7%, 60.9%, 63.1% and 49%, respectively. Moreover, the CqMADS family and the Al stress-responsive gene families (CqSTOP, CqALMT, and CqWRKY) were identified from the quinoa genome. Comprehensive expression profiling identified CqMADS68 as being involved in malate-mediated Al resistance. Transient overexpression of CqMADS68 increased Al tolerance in quinoa seedlings. More importantly, we found that CqMADS68 regulated the expression of CqSTOP6, CqALMT6 and CqWRKY88 and further demonstrated the interaction of CqMADS68 with CqSTOP6, CqALMT6 and CqWRKY88 by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BIFC) experiments. Moreover, transient overexpression and physiological and biochemical analyses demonstrated that CqSTOP6, CqALMT6 and CqWRKY88 could also improve Al tolerance by maintaining the antioxidant capacity of quinoa seedlings. Taken together, these findings reveal that CqMADS68, CqSTOP6, CqALMT6 and CqWRKY88 may be important contributors to the Al tolerance regulatory network in quinoa, providing new insights into Al stress resistance.
