Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant life and growth. P is primarily acquired in the form of inorganic phosphate (Pi) from soil. To cope with Pi deficiency, plants have evolved an elaborate system to improve Pi acquisition and utilization through an array of developmental and physiological changes, termed Pi starvation response (PSR). Plants also assemble and manage mutualistic microbes to enhance Pi uptake, through integrating PSR and immunity signaling. A trade-off between plant growth and defense favors the notion that plants lower a cellular state of immunity to accommodate host-beneficial microbes for nutrition and growth at the cost of infection risk. However, the existing data indicate that plants selectively activate defense responses against pathogens, but do not or less against non-pathogens, even under nutrient deficiency. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the principles and mechanisms with which plants balance immunity and growth-related processes to optimize their adaptation to Pi deficiency.

Hu Y, Dai Z, Huang J, Han M, Wang Z, Jiao W, Gao Z, Liu X, Liu L, Ma Z. Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the glutamate receptor gene family in sweet potato and its two diploid relatives. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1255805. [PMID: 38179475 PMCID: PMC10764598 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1255805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
Plant glutamate receptor (GLR) homologs are crucial calcium channels that play an important role in plant development, signal transduction, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the GLR gene family has not yet been thoroughly and systematically studied in sweet potato. In this study, a total of 37 GLR genes were identified in the cultivated hexaploid sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), and 32 GLR genes were discovered in each of the two diploid relatives (Ipomoea trifida and Ipomoea triloba) for the first time. Based on their evolutionary relationships to those of Arabidopsis, these GLRs were split into five subgroups. We then conducted comprehensive analysis to explore their physiological properties, protein interaction networks, promoter cis-elements, chromosomal placement, gene structure, and expression patterns. The results indicate that the homologous GLRs of the cultivated hexaploid sweet potato and its two relatives are different. These variations are reflected in their functions related to plant growth, hormonal crosstalk, development of tuberous roots, resistance to root rot, and responses to abiotic stress factors, all of which are governed by specific individual GLR genes. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of GLR genes in sweet potato and its two diploid relatives. It also provides a theoretical basis for future research into their regulatory mechanisms, significantly influencing the field of molecular breeding in sweet potatoes.

Abstract
Glutamate receptors like channels (GLRs) are ligand gated non-selective cation channels and are multigenic in nature. They are homologs of mammalian ionic glutamate receptors (iGLRs) that play an important role in neurotransmission. It has been more than 25 years of discovery of plant GLRs, since then, significant progress has been made to unravel their structure and function in plants. Recently, the first crystal structure of plant GLR has been resolved that suggests that, though, plant GLRs contain the conserved signature domains of iGLRs, their unique features enable agonist/antagonist-dependent change in their activity. GLRs exhibit diverse subcellular localization and undergo dynamic expression variation in response to developmental and environmental stress conditions in plants. The combined use of genetic, electrophysiology and calcium imaging using different genetically encoded calcium indicators has revealed that GLRs are involved in generating calcium (Ca2+) influx across the plasma membrane and are involved in shaping the Ca2+ signature in response to different developmental and environmental stimuli. These findings indicate that GLRs influence cytosolic Ca2+ dynamics, thus, highlighting "GLR-Ca2+-crosstalk (GCC)" in developmental and stress-responsive signaling pathways. With this background, the present review summarises the recent developments pertaining to GLR function, in the broader context of regulation of stress tolerance in plants.
