Abstract
Nowadays, improving the quality of postharvest fruits has become a hot research topic. Nitric oxide (NO) is often regarded as a signaling molecule that delays the postharvest senescence of fruits. Moreover, phytohormones affect the postharvest senescence of fruits. This review mainly describes how NO improves the postharvest quality of fruits by delaying postharvest fruit senescence, mitigating fruit cold damage and controlling postharvest diseases. Furthermore, the crosstalk of NO and multiple plant hormones effectively delays the postharvest senescence of fruits, and the major crosstalk mechanisms include (1) mediating phytohormone signaling. (2) inhibiting ETH production. (3) stimulating antioxidant enzyme activity. (4) decreasing membrane lipid peroxidation. (5) maintaining membrane integrity. (6) inhibiting respiration rate. (7) regulating gene expression related to fruit senescence. This review concluded the roles and mechanisms of NO in delaying postharvest fruit senescence. In addition, the crosstalk mechanisms between NO and various phytohormones on the regulation of postharvest fruit quality are also highlighted, which provides new ideas for the subsequent research.

Abstract
Salt stress negatively affects rice growth, development and yield. Metabolic adjustments contribute to the adaptation of rice under salt stress. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are three essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by humans or animals. However, little is known about the role of BCAA in response to salt stress in plants. Here, we showed that BCAAs may function as scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to provide protection against damage caused by salinity. We determined that branched-chain aminotransferase 2 (OsBCAT2), a protein responsible for the degradation of BCAA, positively regulates salt tolerance. Salt significantly induces the expression of OsBCAT2 rather than BCAA synthesis genes, which indicated that salt mainly promotes BCAA degradation and not de novo synthesis. Metabolomics analysis revealed that vitamin B5 (VB5) biosynthesis pathway intermediates were higher in the OsBCAT2-overexpressing plants but lower in osbcat2 mutants under salt stress. The salt stress-sensitive phenotypes of the osbcat2 mutants are rescued by exogenous VB5, indicating that OsBCAT2 affects rice salt tolerance by regulating VB5 synthesis. Our work provides new insights into the enzymes involved in BCAAs degradation and VB5 biosynthesis and sheds light on the molecular mechanism of BCAAs in response to salt stress.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous free radical that acts as a messenger for various plant phenomena corresponding to photomorphogenesis, fertilisation, flowering, germination, growth, and productivity. Recent developments have suggested the critical role of NO in inducing adaptive responses in plants during salinity. NO minimises salinity-induced photosynthetic damage and improves plant-water relation, nutrient uptake, stomatal conductance, electron transport, and ROS and antioxidant metabolism. NO contributes active participation in ABA-mediated stomatal regulation. Similar crosstalk of NO with other phytohormones such as auxins (IAAs), gibberellins (GAs), cytokinins (CKs), ethylene (ET), salicylic acid (SA), strigolactones (SLs), and brassinosteroids (BRs) were also observed. Additionally, we discuss NO interaction with other gaseous signalling molecules such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive sulphur species (RSS). Conclusively, the present review traces critical events in NO-induced morpho-physiological adjustments under salt stress and discusses how such modulations upgrade plant resilience.

Abstract
Abiotic stress is one of the main threats affecting crop growth and production. Nitric oxide (NO), an important signaling molecule involved in wide range of plant growth and development as well as in response to abiotic stress. NO can exert its biological functions through protein S-nitrosylation, a redox-based posttranslational modification by covalently adding NO moiety to a reactive cysteine thiol of a target protein to form an S-nitrosothiol (SNO). Protein S-nitrosylation is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism regulating multiple aspects of cellular signaling in plant. Recently, emerging evidence have elucidated protein S-nitrosylation as a modulator of plant in responses to abiotic stress, including salt stress, extreme temperature stress, light stress, heavy metal and drought stress. In addition, significant mechanism has been made in functional characterization of protein S-nitrosylated candidates, such as changing protein conformation, and the subcellular localization of proteins, regulating protein activity and influencing protein interactions. In this study, we updated the data related to protein S-nitrosylation in plants in response to adversity and gained a deeper understanding of the functional changes of target proteins after protein S-nitrosylation.

Abstract
The gaseous signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in breaking seed dormancy. NO induces a decrease in abscisic acid (ABA) content by transcriptionally activating its catabolic enzyme, the ABA 8'-hydroxylase CYP707A2. However, the underlying mechanism of this process remains unclear. Here, we report that the transcription factor MYB30 plays a critical role in NO-induced seed germination in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). MYB30 loss-of-function attenuates NO-mediated seed dormancy breaking. MYB30 triggers a NO-induced decrease in ABA content during germination by directly promoting CYP707A2 expression. NO induces S-nitrosylation at Cys-49 of MYB30 and enhances its transcriptional activity. Conversely, the ABA receptors PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE1 (PYR1)/PYR1-LIKE (PYL)/REGULATORY COMPONENTS OF ABA RECEPTORS (RCAR) interact with MYB30 and repress its transcriptional activity. ABA promotes the interaction between PYL4 and MYB30, whereas S-nitrosylation releases the PYL4-mediated inhibition of MYB30 by interfering with the PYL4-MYB30 interaction. Genetic analysis showed that MYB30 functions downstream of PYLs during seed dormancy and germination in response to NO. Furthermore, MYB30 mutation significantly represses the reduced dormancy phenotype and the enhanced CYP707A2 expression of the pyr1 pyl1 pyl2 pyl4 quadruple mutant. Our findings reveal that S-nitrosylation of MYB30 precisely regulates the balance of seed dormancy and germination, providing insights into the underlying mechanism of NO-promoted seed germination.

Abstract
Both NO and GAs are essential for regulating various physiological processes and stress responses in plants. However, the interaction between these two molecules remains unclear. We investigated the distinct response patterns of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 and GA synthesis functional deficiency mutants to NO by measuring root length. To investigate underlying mechanisms, we detected bioactive GA content using UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS, assessed the accumulation of ROS by chemical staining Arabidopsis roots. We also conducted RNA-seq analysis and compared results between Col-0 and ga3ox1, with and without SNP (as NO donor) treatment. Phenotypic results revealed that the inhibitory effect of NO on primary roots of Arabidopsis was primarily mediated by GA3-oxidase, rather than GA20-oxidase or GA2-oxidase. The content of GA3 decreased in Col-0 treated with SNP, whereas this decrease was not observed in ga3ox1. The deficiency of GA3-oxidase alleviated the buildup of H2 O2 in roots when treated with SNP. We identified 222 DEGs. GO annotation of these DEGs revealed that all top 20 GO terms were related to stress responses. Moreover, three DEGs were annotated to GA-related processes (DDF1, DDF2, EXPA1), and seven DEGs were associated with root development (RAV1, RGF2, ERF71, ZAT6, MYB77, XT1, and DTX50). In summary, NO inhibits primary root growth partially by repressing GA3-oxidase catalysed GA3 synthesis in Arabidopsis. ROS, Ca2+ , DDF1, DDF2, EXPA1 and seven root development-related genes may be involved in crosstalk between NO and GAs.

Abstract
Salt stress is one of the major environmental stressors that remarkably hinders the processes of plant growth and development, thereby limiting crop productivity. An understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses against salinity stimulus will help guide the rational design of crop plants to counter these challenges. Nitric oxide (NO) is a redox-related signaling molecule regulating diverse biological processes in plant. Accumulating evidences indicated NO exert its biological functions through posttranslational modification of proteins, notably via S-nitrosylation. During the past decade, the roles of S-nitrosylation as a regulator of plant and S-nitrosylated candidates have also been established and detected. Emerging evidence indicated that protein S-nitrosylation is ubiquitously involved in the regulation of plant response to salt stress. However, little is known about this pivotal molecular amendment in the regulation of salt stress response. Here, we describe current understanding on the regulatory mechanisms of protein S-nitrosylation in response to salt stress in plants and highlight key challenges in this field.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule affecting the response of plants to salt stress; however, the underlying molecular mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a phenotype analysis and found that the small GTPase RABG3E (RAB7) promotes salt tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. NO promotes the S-nitrosylation of RAB7 at Cys-171, which in turn helps maintain the ion balance in salt-stressed plants. Furthermore, the S-nitrosylation of RAB7 at Cys-171 enhances the enzyme's GTPase activity, thereby promoting vesicle trafficking and increasing its interaction with phosphatidylinositol phosphates-especially phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P). Exogenously applied PI4P increases vesicle trafficking and promotes salt tolerance depending on the S-nitrosylation of RAB7 at Cys-171. These findings illustrate a unique mechanism in salt tolerance, by which NO regulates vesicle trafficking and ion homeostasis through the S-nitrosylation of RAB7 and its interaction with PI4P.

Abstract
S-Nitrosoglutathione plays a central role in nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis, and S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) regulates the cellular levels of S-nitrosoglutathione across kingdoms. Here, we investigated the role of endogenous NO in shaping shoot architecture and controlling fruit set and growth in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). SlGSNOR silencing promoted shoot side branching and led to reduced fruit size, negatively impacting fruit yield. Greatly intensified in slgsnor knockout plants, these phenotypical changes were virtually unaffected by SlGSNOR overexpression. Silencing or knocking out of SlGSNOR intensified protein tyrosine nitration and S-nitrosation and led to aberrant auxin production and signaling in leaf primordia and fruit-setting ovaries, besides restricting the shoot basipetal polar auxin transport stream. SlGSNOR deficiency triggered extensive transcriptional reprogramming at early fruit development, reducing pericarp cell proliferation due to restrictions on auxin, gibberellin, and cytokinin production and signaling. Abnormal chloroplast development and carbon metabolism were also detected in early-developing NO-overaccumulating fruits, possibly limiting energy supply and building blocks for fruit growth. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms by which endogenous NO fine-tunes the delicate hormonal network controlling shoot architecture, fruit set, and post-anthesis fruit development, emphasizing the relevance of NO-auxin interaction for plant development and productivity.

Planting alfalfa in grey desert soil can have significant effects on soil nutrient levels, microbial communities, and overall soil improvement. High-throughput sequencing technology was used to explore the relationship between the rhizosphere microbial community structure of grey desert soil planted with different alfalfa varieties (Aohan, WL525HQ, Knight2, Kangsai, Victoria, and WL712), alfalfa characteristics and rhizosphere soil physicochemical properties. Alfalfa planting increased the nitrogen and organic matter in the grey desert soil, and the effects in Victoria, Kangsai, and Aohan were relatively better than those in the unplanted areas and other alfalfa areas. The Chao1 and Shannon indexes showed that the diversity and relative abundance of bacteria and fungi in Kangsai were significantly higher than those in the unplanted areas and other alfalfa areas. Redundancy analysis showed that available nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as fresh weight, significantly affected the changes in fungal and bacterial communities. Variance partitioning analysis showed that soil and alfalfa growth characteristics explained 50.04% and 51.58% of the structural changes in the bacteria and fungi, respectively. Therefore, planting alfalfa changed the community structure of bacteria and fungi, as well as the content of soil nutrients, and different varieties of alfalfa had different effects on soil improvement.

Abstract
How reciprocal regulation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism works is a long-standing question. In plants, glucose and nitrate are proposed to act as signaling molecules, regulating carbon and nitrogen metabolism via largely unknown mechanisms. Here, we show that the MYB-related transcription factor ARE4 coordinates glucose signaling and nitrogen utilization in rice. ARE4 is retained in the cytosol in complexing with the glucose sensor OsHXK7. Upon sensing a glucose signal, ARE4 is released, is translocated into the nucleus, and activates the expression of a subset of high-affinity nitrate transporter genes, thereby boosting nitrate uptake and accumulation. This regulatory scheme displays a diurnal pattern in response to circadian changes of soluble sugars. The are4 mutations compromise in nitrate utilization and plant growth, whereas overexpression of ARE4 increases grain size. We propose that the OsHXK7-ARE4 complex links glucose to the transcriptional regulation of nitrogen utilization, thereby coordinating carbon and nitrogen metabolism.

Abstract
The phytohormone auxin plays crucial roles in nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. Auxin signaling is activated through the phytohormone-induced proteasomal degradation of the Auxin/INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (Aux/IAA) family of transcriptional repressors. Notably, many auxin-modulated physiological processes are also regulated by nitric oxide (NO) that executes its biological effects predominantly through protein S-nitrosylation at specific cysteine residues. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms in regulating the interactive NO and auxin networks. Here, we show that NO represses auxin signaling by inhibiting IAA17 protein degradation. NO induces the S-nitrosylation of Cys-70 located in the intrinsically disordered region of IAA17, which inhibits the TIR1-IAA17 interaction and consequently the proteasomal degradation of IAA17. The accumulation of a higher level of IAA17 attenuates auxin response. Moreover, an IAA17C70W nitrosomimetic mutation renders the accumulation of a higher level of the mutated protein, thereby causing partial resistance to auxin and defective lateral root development. Taken together, these results suggest that S-nitrosylation of IAA17 at Cys-70 inhibits its interaction with TIR1, thereby negatively regulating auxin signaling. This study provides unique molecular insights into the redox-based auxin signaling in regulating plant growth and development.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of physiological processes in plants, including responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Changes in endogenous NO concentration lead to activation/deactivation of NO signaling and NO-related processes. This paper presents the current state of knowledge on NO biosynthesis and scavenging pathways in plant cells and highlights the role of NO in post-translational modifications of proteins (S-nitrosylation, nitration, and phosphorylation) in plants under optimal and stressful environmental conditions. Particular attention was paid to the interactions of NO with other signaling molecules: reactive oxygen species, abscisic acid, auxins (e.g., indole-3-acetic acid), salicylic acid, and jasmonic acid. In addition, potential common patterns of NO-dependent defense responses against attack and feeding by parasitic and molting Ecdysozoa species such as nematodes, insects, and arachnids were characterized. Our review definitely highlights the need for further research on the involvement of NO in interactions between host plants and Ecdysozoa parasites, especially arachnids.

Abstract
Reversible protein S-nitrosylation regulates a wide range of biological functions and physiological activities in plants. However, it is challenging to quantitively determine the S-nitrosylation targets and dynamics in vivo. In this study, we develop a highly sensitive and efficient fluorous affinity tag-switch (FAT-switch) chemical proteomics approach for S-nitrosylation peptide enrichment and detection. We quantitatively compare the global S-nitrosylation profiles in wild-type Arabidopsis and gsnor1/hot5/par2 mutant using this approach, and identify 2,121 S-nitrosylation peptides in 1,595 protein groups, including many previously unrevealed S-nitrosylated proteins. These are 408 S-nitrosylated sites in 360 protein groups showing an accumulation in hot5-4 mutant when compared to wild type. Biochemical and genetic validation reveal that S-nitrosylation at Cys337 in ER OXIDOREDUCTASE 1 (ERO1) causes the rearrangement of disulfide, resulting in enhanced ERO1 activity. This study offers a powerful and applicable tool for S-nitrosylation research, which provides valuable resources for studies on S-nitrosylation-regulated ER functions in plants.

Abstract
Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) is a traditional cash crop in China and is well-known worldwide for its outstanding nutritional and medicinal value. Lycium ruthenicum is a close relative of Lycium barbarum but differs significantly in size, color, flavor and nutritional composition. To date, the metabolic differences between the fruits of the two wolfberry varieties and the genetic basis behind them are unclear. Here, we compared metabolome and transcriptome data of two kinds of wolfberry fruits at five stages of development. Metabolome results show that amino acids, vitamins and flavonoids had the same accumulation pattern in various developmental stages of fruit but that Lycium ruthenicum accumulated more metabolites than Lycium barbarum during the same developmental stage, including L-glutamate, L-proline, L-serine, abscisic acid (ABA), sucrose, thiamine, naringenin and quercetin. Based on the metabolite and gene networks, many key genes that may be involved in the flavonoid synthesis pathway in wolfberry were identified, including PAL, C4H, 4CL, CHS, CHI, F3H, F3'H and FLS. The expression of these genes was significantly higher in Lycium ruthenicum than in Lycium barbarum, indicating that the difference in the expression of these genes was the main reason for the variation in flavonoid accumulation between Lycium barbarum and Lycium ruthenicum. Taken together, our results reveal the genetic basis of the difference in metabolomics between Lycium barbarum and Lycium ruthenicum and provide new insights into the flavonoid synthesis of wolfberry.

Abstract
Involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in plant metabolism and its connection with phytohormones has not been fully described, thus information about the role of this molecule in signalling pathways remains fragmented. In this study, the effects of NO on calmodulin (CAM), calcium protein kinase (CPK), content of phytohormones and secondary metabolites in canola plants under salinity stress were investigated. We applied 100 μM sodium nitroprusside as an NO source to canola plants grown under saline (100 mM NaCl) and non-saline conditions at the vegetative stage. Plant growth was negatively affected by salinity, but exogenous NO treatment improved growth. NO caused a significant increase in activity of CAT, SOD and POX through their enhanced gene expression in stressed canola. Salinity-responsive genes, namely CAM and CPK, were induced by NO in plants grown under salinity. NO application enhanced phenolic compounds, such as gallic acid and coumaric acid and flavonoid compound,s catechin, diadzein and kaempferol, in plants subjected to salinity. NO treatment enhanced abscisic acid and brassinosteroids but decreased auxin and gibberellin in stressed canola plants. The impacts of NO in improving stress tolerance in canola required CAM and CPK. Also, NO signalling re-established the phytohormone balance and resulted in enhanced tolerance to salt stress. Furthermore, NO improved salinity tolerance in canola by increasing enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant content.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), a colorless gaseous molecule, is a lipophilic free radical that easily diffuses through the plasma membrane. These characteristics make NO an ideal autocrine (i.e., within a single cell) and paracrine (i.e., between adjacent cells) signalling molecule. As a chemical messenger, NO plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Furthermore, NO interacts with reactive oxygen species, antioxidants, melatonin, and hydrogen sulfide. It regulates gene expression, modulates phytohormones, and contributes to plant growth and defense mechanisms. In plants, NO is mainly produced via redox pathways. However, nitric oxide synthase, a key enzyme in NO production, has been poorly understood recently in both model and crop plants. In this review, we discuss the pivotal role of NO in signalling and chemical interactions as well as its involvement in the mitigation of biotic and abiotic stress conditions. In the current review, we have discussed various aspects of NO including its biosynthesis, interaction with reactive oxygen species (ROS), melatonin (MEL), hydrogen sulfide, enzymes, phytohormones, and its role in normal and stressful conditions.

Abstract
The temporal and spatial patterns of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells and tissues decisively determine the plant acclimation response to diverse abiotic and biotic stresses. Recent progress in developing dynamic cell imaging probes provides kinetic information on changes in parameters like H2O2, glutathione (GSH/GSSG) and NAD(P)H/NAD(P)+, that play a crucial role in tuning the cellular redox state. Central to redox-based regulation is the thiol-redox regulatory network of the cell that integrates reductive information from metabolism and oxidative ROS signals. Sensitive proteomics allow for monitoring changes in redox-related posttranslational modifications. Thiol peroxidases act as sensitive peroxide and redox sensors and play a central role in this signal transduction process. Peroxiredoxins (PRX) and glutathione peroxidases (GPX) are the two main thiol peroxidases and their function in ROS sensing and redox signaling in plants is emerging at present and summarized in this review. Depending on their redox state, PRXs and GPXs act as redox-dependent binding partners, direct oxidants of target proteins and oxidants of thiol redox transmitters that in turn oxidize target proteins. With their versatile functions, the multiple isoforms of plant thiol peroxidases play a central role in plant stress acclimation, e.g. to high light or osmotic stress, but also in ROS-mediated immunity and development.

Abstract
Salt stress severely limits the productivity of crop plants worldwide and its detrimental effects are aggravated by climate change. Due to a significant world population growth, agriculture has expanded to marginal and salinized regions, which usually render low crop yield. In this context, finding methods and strategies to improve plant tolerance against salt stress is of utmost importance to fulfill food security challenges under the scenario of the ever-increasing human population. Plant priming, at different stages of plant development, such as seed or seedling, has gained significant attention for its marked implication in crop salt-stress management. It is a promising field relying on the applications of specific chemical agents which could effectively improve plant salt-stress tolerance. Currently, a variety of chemicals, both inorganic and organic, which can efficiently promote plant growth and crop yield are available in the market. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the promising roles of diverse molecules/compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), molecular hydrogen, nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), melatonin, chitosan, silicon, ascorbic acid (AsA), tocopherols, and trehalose (Tre) as potential primers that enhance the salinity tolerance of crop plants.

The Role of Nitric Oxide in Plant Responses to Salt Stress. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23116167. [PMID: 35682856 PMCID: PMC9181674 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23116167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The gas nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in several biological processes in plants, including growth, development, and biotic/abiotic stress responses. Salinity has received increasing attention from scientists as an abiotic stressor that can seriously harm plant growth and crop yields. Under saline conditions, plants produce NO, which can alleviate salt-induced damage. Here, we summarize NO synthesis during salt stress and describe how NO is involved in alleviating salt stress effects through different strategies, including interactions with various other signaling molecules and plant hormones. Finally, future directions for research on the role of NO in plant salt tolerance are discussed. This summary will serve as a reference for researchers studying NO in plants.

The molecular mechanism of plasma membrane H +-ATPases in plant responses to abiotic stress. J Genet Genomics 2022; 49:715-725. [PMID: 35654346 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgg.2022.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Plasma membrane H+-ATPases (PM H+-ATPases) are critical proton pumps that export protons from the cytoplasm to the apoplast. The resulting proton gradient and difference in electrical potential energize various secondary active transport events. PM H+-ATPases play essential roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. In this review, we focus on recent studies of the mechanism of PM H+-ATPases in response to abiotic stresses in plants, such as salt and high pH, temperature, drought, light, macronutrient deficiency, acidic soil and aluminum stress, as well as heavy metal toxicity. Moreover, we discuss remaining outstanding questions about how PM H+-ATPases contribute to abiotic stress responses.
