PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 2024; 176:e14385. [PMID: 38956782 DOI: 10.1111/ppl.14385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the course of anther development, including post-meiotic maturation, dehiscence and senescence, is ensured by the interdependencies between jasmonic acid (JA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus L.). The concentration of JA peaked during anther dehiscence when IAA level was low, whereas the inverse relationship was specific to anther senescence. Cellular and tissue localization of JA and IAA, in conjunction with broad expression profile for genes involved in biosynthesis, signalling, response, and homeostasis under different conditions, allowed to complete and define the role of studied phytohormones during late anther development, as well as predict events triggered by them. The development/degeneration of septum and anther wall cells, dehydration of epidermis, and rupture of stomium may involve JA signalling, while the formation of secondary thickening in endothecial cell walls is rather JA independent. The IAA is involved in programmed cell death (PCD)-associated processes during anther senescence but does not exclude its participation in the anther dehiscence processes, mainly related to cell disintegration and degeneration. A detailed understanding of these multistage processes, especially at the level of phytohormonal interplay, can contribute to the effective control of male fertility, potentially revolutionizing the breeding of L. luteus.

Exploring the effects of red light night break on the defence mechanisms of tomato against fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 2024; 176:e14504.

Abstract
Plant infections caused by fungi lead to significant crop losses worldwide every year. This study aims to better understand the plant defence mechanisms regulated by red light, in particular, the effects of red light at night when most phytopathogens are highly infectious. Our results showed that superoxide production significantly increased immediately after red light exposure and, together with hydrogen peroxide levels, was highest at dawn after 30 min of nocturnal red-light treatment. In parallel, red-light-induced expression and increased the activities of several antioxidant enzymes. The nocturnal red light did not affect salicylic acid but increased jasmonic acid levels immediately after illumination, whereas abscisic acid levels increased 3 h after nocturnal red-light exposure at dawn. Based on the RNAseq data, red light immediately increased the transcription of several chloroplastic chlorophyll a-b binding protein and circadian rhythm-related genes, such as Constans 1, CONSTANS interacting protein 1 and zinc finger protein CONSTANS-LIKE 10. In addition, the levels of several transcription factors were also increased after red light exposure, such as the DOF zinc finger protein and a MYB transcription factor involved in the regulation of circadian rhythms and defence responses in tomato. In addition to identifying these key transcription factors in tomato, the application of red light at night for one week not only reactivated key antioxidant enzymes at the gene and enzyme activity level at dawn but also contributed to a more efficient and successful defence against Botrytis cinerea infection.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5898.

Abstract
In wounded Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, four 13S-lipoxygenases (AtLOX2, AtLOX3, AtLOX4, AtLOX6) act in a hierarchical manner to contribute to the jasmonate burst. This leads to defense responses with LOX2 playing an important role in plant resistance against caterpillar herb-ivory. In this study, we sought to characterize the impact of AtLOX2 on wound-induced phytohormonal and transcriptional responses to foliar mechanical damage using wildtype (WT) and lox2 mutant plants. Compared with WT, the lox2 mutant had higher constitutive levels of the phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) and enhanced expression of SA-responsive genes. This suggests that AtLOX2 may be involved in the biosynthesis of jasmonates that are involved in the antagonism of SA biosynthesis. As expected, the jasmonate burst in response to wounding was dampened in lox2 plants. Generally, 1 h after wounding, genes linked to jasmonate biosynthesis, jasmonate signaling attenuation and abscisic acid-responsive genes, which are primarily involved in wound sealing and healing, were differentially regulated between WT and lox2 mutants. Twelve h after wounding, WT plants showed stronger expression of genes associated with plant protection against insect herbivory. This study highlights the dynamic nature of jasmonate-responsive gene expression and the contribution of AtLOX2 to this pathway and plant resistance against insects.

Abstract
The phytohormone jasmonate (JA) coordinates stress and growth responses to increase plant survival in unfavorable environments. Although JA can enhance plant UV-B stress tolerance, the mechanisms underlying the interaction of UV-B and JA in this response remain unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that the UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 - TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, Cycloidea and PCF 4 - LIPOXYGENASE2 (UVR8-TCP4-LOX2) module regulates UV-B tolerance dependent on JA signaling pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that the nucleus-localized UVR8 physically interacts with TCP4 to increase the DNA-binding activity of TCP4 and upregulate the JA biosynthesis gene LOX2. Furthermore, UVR8 activates the expression of LOX2 in a TCP4-dependent manner. Our genetic analysis also provides evidence that TCP4 acts downstream of UVR8 and upstream of LOX2 to mediate plant responses to UV-B stress. Our results illustrate that the UV-B-dependent interaction of UVR8 and TCP4 serves as an important UVR8-TCP4-LOX2 module, which integrates UV-B radiation and JA signaling and represents a new UVR8 signaling mechanism in plants.

Abstract
Local damaging stimuli cause a rapid increase in the content of the defense phytohormone jasmonic acid (JA) and its biologically active derivative jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) in undamaged distal tissues. The increase in JA and JA-Ile levels was coincident with a rapid decrease in the levels of the precursor 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA). The propagation of a stimulus-induced long-distance electrical signal, variation potential (VP), which is accompanied by intracellular changes in pH and Ca2+ levels, preceded systemic changes in jasmonate content. The decrease in pH during VP, mediated by transient inactivation of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, induced the conversion of OPDA to JA, probably by regulating the availability of the OPDA substrate to JA biosynthetic enzymes. The regulation of systemic synthesis of JA and JA-Ile by the Ca2+ wave accompanying VP most likely occurs by the same mechanism of pH-induced conversion of OPDA to JA due to Ca2+-mediated decrease in pH as a result of H+-ATPase inactivation. Thus, the transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels and the transient decrease in intracellular pH are most likely the key mechanisms of VP-mediated regulation of jasmonate production in systemic tissues upon local stimulation.

Abstract
Small-molecule phytohormones exert control over plant growth, development, and stress responses by coordinating the patterns of gene expression within and between cells. Increasing evidence indicates that currently recognized plant hormones are part of a larger group of regulatory metabolites that have acquired signaling properties during the evolution of land plants. This rich assortment of chemical signals reflects the tremendous diversity of plant secondary metabolism, which offers evolutionary solutions to the daunting challenges of sessility and other unique aspects of plant biology. A major gap in our current understanding of plant regulatory metabolites is the lack of insight into the direct targets of these compounds. Here, we illustrate the blurred distinction between classical phytohormones and other bioactive metabolites by highlighting the major scientific advances that transformed the view of jasmonate from an interesting floral scent to a potent transcriptional regulator. Lessons from jasmonate research generally apply to other phytohormones and thus may help provide a broad understanding of regulatory metabolite-protein interactions. In providing a framework that links small-molecule diversity to transcriptional plasticity, we hope to stimulate future research to explore the evolution, functions, and mechanisms of perception of a broad range of plant regulatory metabolites.

Abstract
Although many important discoveries have been made regarding the jasmonate signaling pathway, how jasmonate biosynthesis is initiated is still a major unanswered question in the field. Previous evidences suggest that jasmonate biosynthesis is limited by the availability of fatty acid precursor, such as ⍺-linolenic acid (⍺-LA). This indicates that the lipase responsible for releasing α-LA in the chloroplast, where early steps of jasmonate biosynthesis take place, is the key initial step in the jasmonate biosynthetic pathway. Nicotiana benthamiana glycerol lipase A1 (NbGLA1) is homologous to N. attenuata GLA1 (NaGLA1) which has been reported to be a major lipase in leaves for jasmonate biosynthesis. NbGLA1 was studied for its potential usefulness in a species that is more common in laboratories. Virus-induced gene silencing of both NbGLA1 and NbGLA2, another homolog, resulted in more than 80% reduction in jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis in wounded leaves. Overexpression of NbGLA1 utilizing an inducible vector system failed to increase JA, indicating that transcriptional induction of NbGLA1 is insufficient to trigger JA biosynthesis. However, co-treatment with wounding in addition to NbGLA1 induction increased JA accumulation several fold higher than the gene expression or wounding alone, indicating an enhancement of the enzyme activity by wounding. Domain-deletion of a 126-bp C-terminal region hypothesized to have regulatory roles increased NbGLA1-induced JA level. Together, the data show NbGLA1 to be a major lipase for wound-induced JA biosynthesis in N. benthamiana leaves and demonstrate the use of inducible promoter-driven construct of NbGLA1 in conjunction with its transient expression in N. benthamiana as a useful system to study its protein function.

Abstract
MYZUS PERSICAE-INDUCED LIPASE1 (MPL1) encodes a lipase in Arabidopsis thaliana that is required for limiting infestation by the green peach aphid (GPA; Myzus persicae), an important phloem sap-consuming insect pest. Previously, we demonstrated that MPL1 expression was up-regulated in response to GPA infestation, and GPA fecundity was higher on the mpl1 mutant, compared with the wild-type (WT), and lower on 35S:MPL1 plants that constitutively expressed MPL1 from the 35S promoter. Here, we show that the MPL1 promoter is active in the phloem and expression of the MPL1 coding sequence from the phloem-specific SUC2 promoter in mpl1 is sufficient to restore resistance to GPA. The GPA infestation-associated up-regulation of MPL1 requires CYCLOPHILIN 20-3 (CYP20-3), which encodes a 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA)-binding protein that is involved in OPDA signaling, and is required for limiting GPA infestation. OPDA promotes MPL1 expression to limit GPA fecundity, a process that requires CYP20-3 function. These results along with our observation that constitutive expression of MPL1 from the 35S promoter restores resistance to GPA in the cyp20-3 mutant, and MPL1 acts in a feedback loop to limit OPDA levels in GPA-infested plants, suggest that an interplay between MPL1, OPDA, and CYP20-3 contributes to resistance to GPA.

Abstract
The links between wound-response electrical signalling and the activation of jasmonate synthesis are unknown. We investigated damage-response remodelling of jasmonate precursor pools in the Arabidopsis thaliana leaf vasculature. Galactolipids and jasmonate precursors in primary veins from undamaged and wounded plants were analysed using MS-based metabolomics and NMR. In parallel, DAD1-LIKE LIPASEs (DALLs), which control the levels of jasmonate precursors in veins, were identified. A novel galactolipid containing the jasmonate precursor 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) was identified in veins: sn-2-O-(cis-12-oxo-phytodienoyl)-sn-3-O-(β-galactopyranosyl) glyceride (sn-2-OPDA-MGMG). Lower levels of sn-1-OPDA-MGMG were also detected. Vascular OPDA-MGMGs, sn-2-18:3-MGMG and free OPDA pools were reduced rapidly in response to damage-activated electrical signals. Reduced function dall2 mutants failed to build resting vascular sn-2-OPDA-MGMG and OPDA pools and, upon wounding, dall2 produced less jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) than the wild-type. DALL3 acted to suppress excess JA-Ile production after wounding, whereas dall2 dall3 double mutants strongly reduce jasmonate signalling in leaves distal to wounds. LOX6 and DALL2 function to produce OPDA and the non-bilayer-forming lipid sn-2-OPDA-MGMG in the primary vasculature. Membrane depolarizations trigger rapid depletion of these molecules. We suggest that electrical signal-dependent lipid phase changes help to initiate vascular jasmonate synthesis in wounded leaves.

Abstract
Plants detect their neighbors via various cues, including reflected light and touching of leaf tips, which elicit upward leaf movement (hyponasty). It is currently unknown how touch is sensed and how the signal is transferred from the leaf tip to the petiole base that drives hyponasty. Here, we show that touch-induced hyponasty involves a signal transduction pathway that is distinct from light-mediated hyponasty. We found that mechanostimulation of the leaf tip upon touching causes cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]cyt induction in leaf tip trichomes that spreads towards the petiole. Both perturbation of the calcium response and the absence of trichomes reduce touch-induced hyponasty. Finally, using plant competition assays, we show that touch-induced hyponasty is adaptive in dense stands of Arabidopsis. We thus establish a novel, adaptive mechanism regulating hyponastic leaf movement in response to mechanostimulation by neighbors in dense vegetation.

Zhu C, Yi X, Yang M, Liu Y, Yao Y, Zi S, Chen B, Xiao G. Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Defense Response of Potato to Phthorimaea operculella Infestation. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:3092. [PMID: 37687339 PMCID: PMC10490199 DOI: 10.3390/plants12173092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2023] [Revised: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
The potato tuber moth (PTM), Phthorimaea operculella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is one of the most destructive pests of potato crops worldwide. Although it has been reported how potatoes integrate the early responses to various PTM herbivory stimuli by accumulatively adding the components, the broad-scale defense signaling network of potato to single stimuli at multiple time points are unclear. Therefore, we compared three potato transcriptional profiles of undamaged plants, mechanically damaged plants and PTM-feeding plants at 3 h, 48 h, and 96 h, and further analyzed the gene expression patterns of a multitude of insect resistance-related signaling pathways, including phytohormones, reactive oxygen species, secondary metabolites, transcription factors, MAPK cascades, plant-pathogen interactions, protease inhibitors, chitinase, and lectins, etc. in the potato under mechanical damage and PTM infestation. Our results suggested that the potato transcriptome showed significant responses to mechanical damage and potato tuber moth infestation, respectively. The potato transcriptome responses modulated over time and were higher at 96 than at 48 h, so transcriptional changes in later stages of PTM infestation may underlie the potato recovery response. Although the transcriptional profiles of mechanically damaged and PTM-infested plants overlap extensively in multiple signaling pathways, some genes are uniquely induced or repressed. True herbivore feeding induced more and stronger gene expression compared to mechanical damage. In addition, we identified 2976, 1499, and 117 genes that only appeared in M-vs-P comparison groups by comparing the transcriptomes of PTM-damaged and mechanically damaged potatoes at 3 h, 48 h, and 96 h, respectively, and these genes deserve further study in the future. This transcriptomic dataset further enhances the understanding of the interactions between potato and potato tuber moth, enriches the molecular resources in this research area and paves the way for breeding insect-resistant potatoes.

Abstract
Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV) and Cowpea severe mosaic virus (CPSMV) threaten cowpea commercial production. This study aimed to analyze Conserved Transcriptional Signatures (CTS) in cowpea's genotypes that are resistant to these viruses. CTS covered up- (UR) or down-regulated (DR) cowpea transcripts in response to CABMV and CPSMV mechanical inoculations. The conservation of cowpea's UR defense response was primarily observed with the one hpi treatments, with decreased CTS representatives as time elapsed. This suggests that cowpea utilizes generic mechanisms during its early interaction with the studied viruses, and subsequently employs more specialized strategies for each viral agent. The potential action of the CTS-UR emphasizes the importance of redox balance, ethylene and jasmonic acid pathways. Additionally, the CTS-UR provides evidence for the involvement of R genes, PR proteins, and PRRs receptors-extensively investigated in combating bacterial and fungal pathogens-in the defense against viral inoculation. AP2-ERF, WRKY, and MYB transcription factors, as well as PIP aquaporins and MAPK cascades, also emerged as significant molecular players. The presented work represents the first study investigating conserved mechanisms in the cowpea defense response to viral inoculations, highlighting relevant processes for initial defense responses.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of lipoxygenase genes related to the English grain aphid infestation response in wheat. PLANTA 2023; 257:84.

Abstract
44 wheat LOX genes were identified by silico genome-wide search method. TaLOX5, 7, 10, 24, 29, 33 were specifically expressed post aphid infestation, indicating their participation in wheat-aphid interaction. In plants, LOX genes play important roles in various biological progresses including seed germination, tuber development, plant vegetative growth and most crucially in plant signal transduction, stress response and plant defense against plant diseases and insects. Although LOX genes have been characterized in many species, the importance of the LOX family in wheat has still not been well understood, hampering further improvement of wheat under stress conditions. Here, we identified 44 LOX genes (TaLOXs) in the whole wheat genome and classified into three subfamilies (9-LOXs, Type I 13-LOXs and Type II 13-LOXs) according to phylogenetic relationships. The TaLOXs belonging to the same subgroup shared similar gene structures and motif organizations. Synteny analysis demonstrated that segmental duplication events mainly contributed to the expansion of the LOX gene family in wheat. The results of protein-protein interaction network (PPI) and miRNA-TaLOXs predictions revealed that three TaLOXs (TaLOX20, 22 and 37) interacted mostly with proteins related to methyl jasmonate (MeJA) signaling pathway. The expression patterns of TaLOXs in different tissues (root, stem, leaf, spike and grain) under diverse abiotic stresses (heat, cold, drought, drought and heat combined treatment, and salt) as well as under diverse biotic stresses (powdery mildew pathogen, Fusarium graminearum and stripe rust pathogen) were systematically analyzed using RNA-seq data. We obtained aphid-responsive candidate genes by RNA-seq data of wheat after the English grain aphid infestation. Aphid-responsive candidate genes, including TaLOX5, 7, 10, 24, 29 and 33, were up-regulated in the wheat aphid-resistant genotype (Lunxuan144), while they were little expressed in the susceptible genotype (Jimai22) during late response (48 h and 72 h) to the English grain aphid infestation. Meanwhile, qRT-PCR analysis was used to validate these aphid-responsive candidate genes. The genetic divergence and diversity of all the TaLOXs in bread wheat and its relative species were investigated by available resequencing data. Finally, the 3D structure of the TaLOX proteins was predicted based on the homology modeling method. This study not only systematically investigated the characteristics and evolutionary relationships of TaLOXs, but also provided potential candidate genes in response to the English grain aphid infestation and laid the foundation to further study the regulatory roles in the English grain aphid infestation of LOX family in wheat and beyond.

Curr Biol 2023; 33:1071-1081.e5.

Abstract
Stomatal movement is orchestrated by diverse signaling cascades and metabolic activities in guard cells. Light triggers the opening of the pores through the phototropin-mediated pathway, which leads to the activation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase and thereby facilitates potassium accumulation through Kin+ channels. However, it remains poorly understood how phototropin signaling is fine-tuned to prevent excessive stomatal opening and consequent water loss. Here, we show that the stomatal response to light is negatively regulated by 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA), an oxylipin metabolite produced through enzymatic oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). We identify a set of phospholipase-encoding genes, phospholipase (PLIP)1/2/3, which are transactivated rapidly in guard cells upon illumination in a phototropin-dependent manner. These phospholipases release PUFAs from the chloroplast membrane, which is oxidized by guard-cell lipoxygenases and further metabolized to OPDA. The OPDA-deficient mutants had wider stomatal pores, whereas mutants containing elevated levels of OPDA showed the opposite effect on stomatal aperture. Transmembrane solute fluxes that drive stomatal aperture were enhanced in lox6-1 guard cells, indicating that OPDA signaling ultimately impacts on activities of proton pumps and Kin+ channels. Interestingly, the accelerated stomatal kinetics in lox6-1 leads to increased plant growth without cost in water or macronutrient use. Together, our results reveal a new role for chloroplast membrane oxylipin metabolism in stomatal regulation. Moreover, the accelerated stomatal opening kinetics in OPDA-deficient mutants benefits plant growth and water use efficiency.

Abstract
Plants can send long-distance cell-to-cell signals from a single tissue subjected to stress to the entire plant. This ability is termed "systemic signaling" and is essential for plant acclimation to stress and/or defense against pathogens. Several signaling mechanisms are associated with systemic signaling, including the reactive oxygen species (ROS) wave, calcium wave, hydraulic wave, and electric signals. The ROS wave coordinates multiple physiological, molecular, and metabolic responses among different parts of the plant and is essential for systemic acquired acclimation (SAA) to stress. In addition, it is linked with several plant hormones, including jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), and abscisic acid (ABA). However, how these plant hormones modulate the ROS wave and whether they are required for SAA is not clear. Here we report that SA and JA play antagonistic roles in modulating the ROS wave in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). While SA augments the ROS wave, JA suppresses it during responses to local wounding or high light (HL) stress treatments. We further show that ethylene and ABA are essential for regulation of the ROS wave during systemic responses to local wounding treatment. Interestingly, we found that the redox-response protein NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS RELATED PROTEIN 1 is required for systemic ROS accumulation in response to wounding or HL stress, as well as for SAA to HL stress. Taken together, our findings suggest that interplay between JA and SA might regulate systemic signaling and SAA during responses of plants to abiotic stress or wounding.

Abstract
Flooding represents an environmental stress that has widespread effects on plants in natural ecosystems as well as causing major crop losses. As climate change leads to more severe weather extremes, severe flooding events are likely to become even more frequent. Thus, there is intense interest in understanding how flooding affects plants and in identifying cellular and molecular targets for engineering flood resilience into crop species. Such research requires well controlled, highly reproducible flooding protocols for use in the laboratory. However, there are many ways that a plant can be flooded. For example, waterlogging of the soil, where water levels reach the soil surface, generally generates a hypoxic environment around the root system. In contrast, full submergence of the plant adds effects on the aerial organs such as impaired photosynthesis from the combination of lowered CO2 availability and the reduced light penetration into often turbid flood waters. In this chapter, approaches to imposing controlled flooding conditions to the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana are discussed. A series of straight-forward assays are then described to document the effects of stress-related changes in growth patterns, pigment accumulation and levels of oxidative stress. These assays are complemented by monitoring the expression of a series of molecular markers of flood response by qPCR.

Abstract
Introduction Crops are affected by various abiotic stresses, among which heat (HT) and drought (DR) stresses are the most common in summer. Many studies have been conducted on HT and DR, but relatively little is known about how drought and heat combination (DH) affects plants at molecular level. Methods Here, we investigated the responses of sweetpotato to HT, DR, and DH stresses by RNA-seq and data-independent acquisition (DIA) technologies, using controlled experiments and the quantification of both gene and protein levels in paired samples. Results Twelve cDNA libraries were created under HT, DR, and DH conditions and controls. We identified 536, 389, and 907 DEGs in response to HT, DR, and DH stresses, respectively. Of these, 147 genes were common and 447 were specifically associated with DH stress. Proteomic analysis identified 1609, 1168, and 1535 DEPs under HT, DR, and DH treatments, respectively, compared with the control, of which 656 were common and 358 were exclusive to DH stress. Further analysis revealed the DEGs/DEPs were associated with heat shock proteins, carbon metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, starch and cellulose metabolism, and plant defense, amongst others. Correlation analysis identified 6465, 6607, and 6435 co-expressed genes and proteins under HT, DR, and DH stresses respectively. In addition, a combined analysis of the transcriptomic and proteomic data identified 59, 35, and 86 significantly co-expressed DEGs and DEPs under HT, DR, and DH stresses, respectively. Especially, top 5 up-regulated co-expressed DEGs and DEPs (At5g58770, C24B11.05, Os04g0679100, BACOVA_02659 and HSP70-5) and down-regulated co-expressed DEGs and DEPs (AN3, PMT2, TUBB5, FL and CYP98A3) were identified under DH stress. Discussion This is the first study of differential genes and proteins in sweetpotato under DH stress, and it is hoped that the findings will assist in clarifying the molecular mechanisms involved in sweetpotato resistance to heat and drought stress.

Abstract
Jasmonates are oxylipin phytohormones critical for plant resistance against necrotrophic pathogens and chewing herbivores. An early step in their biosynthesis is catalyzed by non-heme iron lipoxygenases (LOX; EC 1.13.11.12). In Arabidopsis thaliana, phosphorylation of Ser600 of AtLOX2 was previously reported, but whether phosphorylation regulates AtLOX2 activity is unclear. Here, we characterize the kinetic properties of recombinant WT AtLOX2 (AtLOX2WT). AtLOX2WT displays positive cooperativity with α-linolenic acid (α-LeA, jasmonate precursor), linoleic acid (LA), and arachidonic acid (AA) as substrates. Enzyme velocity with endogenous substrates α-LeA and LA increased with pH. For α-LeA, this increase was accompanied by a decrease in substrate affinity at alkaline pH; thus, the catalytic efficiency for α-LeA was not affected over the pH range tested. Analysis of Ser600 phosphovariants demonstrated that pseudophosphorylation inhibits enzyme activity. AtLOX2 activity was not detected in phosphomimics Atlox2S600D and Atlox2S600M when α-LeA or AA were used as substrates. In contrast, phosphonull mutant Atlox2S600A exhibited strong activity with all three substrates, α-LeA, LA, and AA. Structural comparison between the AtLOX2 AlphaFold model and a complex between 8R-LOX and a 20C polyunsaturated fatty acid suggests a close proximity between AtLOX2 Ser600 and the carboxylic acid head group of the polyunsaturated fatty acid. This analysis indicates that Ser600 is located at a critical position within the AtLOX2 structure and highlights how Ser600 phosphorylation could affect AtLOX2 catalytic activity. Overall, we propose that AtLOX2 Ser600 phosphorylation represents a key mechanism for the regulation of AtLOX2 activity and, thus, the jasmonate biosynthesis pathway and plant resistance.

Abstract
Green microalgae can accumulate neutral lipids, as part of a general lipid remodeling mechanism under stress such as nitrogen starvation. Lobosphaera incisa is of special interest because of its unique TAG acyl chain composition, especially 20:4 (n-6) can reach up to 21% of dry weight after nitrogen starvation. In order to identify factors that may influence the accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), we identified recently a linoleate 13-lipoxygenase (LiLOX). It shares highest identity with plastidic enzymes from vascular plants and is induced upon nitrogen starvation. Here, we confirmed the localization of LiLOX in the stroma of plastids via transient expression in epithelial onion cells. In order to further characterize this enzyme, we focused on the identification of the endogenous substrate of LiLOX. In this regard, an ex vivo enzymatic assay, coupled with non-targeted analysis via mass spectrometry allowed the identification of MGDG, DGDG and PC as three substrate candidates, later confirmed via in vitro assays. Further investigation revealed that LiLOX has preferences towards the lipid class MGDG, which seems in agreement with its localization in the galactolipid rich plastid. Altogether, this study shows the first characterization of plastidic LOX from green algae, showing preference for MGDGs. However, lipidomics analysis did neither reveal an endogenous LiLOX product nor the final end product of MGDG oxidation. Nevertheless, the latter is a key to understanding the role of this enzyme and since its expression is highest during the degradation of the plastidic membrane, it is tempting to assume its involvement in this process.

Abstract
Plant glutamate receptor-like channels (GLRs) are the homologues of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) that mediate neurotransmission in mammals, and they play important roles in various plant-specific physiological processes, such as pollen tube growth, sexual reproduction, root meristem proliferation, internode cell elongation, stomata aperture regulation, and innate immune and wound responses. Notably, these biological functions of GLRs have been mostly linked to the Ca2+-permeable channel activity as GLRs can directly channel the transmembrane flux of Ca2+, which acts as a key second messenger in plant cell responses to both endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Thus, it was hypothesized that GLRs are mainly involved in Ca2+ signaling processes in plant cells. Recently, great progress has been made in GLRs for their roles in long-distance signal transduction pathways mediated by electrical activity and Ca2+ signaling. Here, we review the recent progress on plant GLRs, and special attention is paid to recent insights into the roles of GLRs in response to environmental stimuli via Ca2+ signaling, electrical activity, ROS, as well as hormone signaling networks. Understanding the roles of GLRs in integrating internal and external signaling for plant developmental adaptations to a changing environment will definitely help to enhance abiotic stress tolerance.

Abstract
The oxylipin 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) is known as a biosynthetic precursor of the important plant hormone jasmonic acid. However, OPDA is also a signaling molecule with functions independent of jasmonates. OPDA involvement in diverse biological processes, from plant defense and stress responses to growth regulation and development, has been documented across plant species. OPDA is synthesized in the plastids from alpha-linolenic acid, and OPDA binding to plastidial cyclophilins activates TGA transcription factors upstream of genes associated with stress responses. Here, we summarize what is known about OPDA metabolism and signaling while briefly discussing its jasmonate dependent and independent roles. We also describe open questions, such as the OPDA protein interactome and biological roles of OPDA conjugates.

Abstract
As a consequence of long-term coevolution and natural selection, the leaves of mulberry (Morus alba) trees have become the best food source for silkworms (Bombyx mori). Nevertheless, the molecular and genomic basis of defense response remains largely unexplored. In the present study, we assessed changes in the transcriptome changes of mulberry in response to silkworm larval feeding at 0, 3, and 6 h. A total of 4709 (up = 2971, down = 1738) and 3009 (up = 1868, down = 1141) unigenes were identified after 3 and 6 h of silkworm infestation, respectively. MapMan enrichment analysis results show structural traits such as leaf surface wax, cell wall thickness and lignification form the first physical barrier to feeding by the silkworms. Cluster analysis revealed six unique temporal patterns of transcriptome changes. We predicted that mulberry promoted rapid changes in signaling and other regulatory processes to deal with mechanical damage, photosynthesis impairment, and other injury caused by herbivores within 3–6 h. LRR-RK coding genes (THE1, FER) was predicted participated in perception of cell wall perturbation in mulberry responding to silkworm feeding. Ca2+ signal sensors (CMLs), ROS (OST1, SOS3), RBOHD/F, CDPKs, and ABA were part of the regulatory network after silkworm feeding. Jasmonic acid (JA) signal transduction was predicted to act in silkworm feeding response, 10 JA signaling genes (such as OPR3, JAR1, and JAZ1) and 21 JA synthesis genes (such as LOX2, AOS, and ACX1) were upregulated after silkworm feeding for 3 h. Besides, genes of “alpha-Linolenic acid metabolism” and “phenylpropanoid biosynthesis” were activated in 3 h to reprogram secondary metabolism. Collectively, these findings provided valuable insights into silkworm herbivory-induced regulatory and metabolic processes in mulberry, which might help improve the coevolution of silkworm and mulberry.

Abstract
Plants are exposed to varied biotic stresses, including sequential or simultaneous attack by insects and pathogens. To overcome these complex stresses, plants must perceive each of the stresses, then integrate and relay the information throughout the plant body and eventually activate local and systemic resistance responses. Previous molecular genetic studies identified jasmonic acid and salicylic acid as key plant hormones of wound and immune responses. These hormones, combined with their antagonistic interaction, play critical roles in the initiation and regulation of defense responses against insects and pathogens. Aside from molecular and genetic information, the latest in vivo imaging technology has revealed that plant defense responses are regulated spatially and temporally. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of local and systemic defense responses against wounding and diseases with a focus on past and recent advances in imaging technologies. We discuss how imaging-based multiparametric analysis has improved our understanding of the spatiotemporal regulation of dynamic plant stress responses. We also emphasize the importance of compiling the knowledge generated from individual studies on plant wounding and immune responses for a more seamless understanding of plant defense responses in the natural environment.

Abstract
Defence phytohormone pathways evolved to recognize and counter multiple stressors within the environment. Salicylic acid responsive pathways regulate the defence response to biotrophic pathogens whilst responses to necrotrophic pathogens, herbivory, and wounding are regulated via jasmonic acid pathways. Despite their contrasting roles in planta, the salicylic acid and jasmonic acid defence networks share a common architecture, progressing from stages of biosynthesis, to modification, regulation, and response. The unique structure, components, and regulation of each stage of the defence networks likely contributes, in part, to the speed, establishment, and longevity of the salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signaling pathways in response to hormone treatment and various biotic stressors. Recent advancements in the understanding of the Arabidopsis thaliana salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signaling pathways are reviewed here, with a focus on how the structure of the pathways may be influencing the temporal regulation of the defence responses, and how biotic stressors and the many roles of salicylic acid and jasmonic acid in planta may have shaped the evolution of the signaling networks.

Abstract
In plants, jasmonate signaling regulates a wide range of processes from growth and development to defense responses and thermotolerance. Jasmonates, such as jasmonic acid (JA), (+)-7-iso-jasmonoyl-l-isoleucine (JA-Ile), 12-oxo-10,15(Z)-phytodienoic acid (OPDA), and dinor-12-oxo-10,15(Z)-phytodienoic acid (dn-OPDA), are derived from C18 (18 Carbon atoms) and C16 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are found ubiquitously in the plant kingdom. Bryophytes are also rich in C20 and C22 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), which are found only at low levels in some vascular plants but are abundant in organisms of other kingdoms, including animals. The existence of bioactive jasmonates derived from LCPUFAs is currently unknown. Here, we describe the identification of an OPDA-like molecule derived from a C20 fatty acid (FA) in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha (Mp), which we term (5Z,8Z)-10-(4-oxo-5-((Z)-pent-2-en-1-yl)cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)deca-5,8-dienoic acid (C20-OPDA). This molecule accumulates upon wounding and, when applied exogenously, can activate known Coronatine Insensitive 1 (COI1) -dependent and -independent jasmonate responses. Furthermore, we identify a dn-OPDA-like molecule (Δ4-dn-OPDA) deriving from C20-OPDA and demonstrate it to be a ligand of the jasmonate coreceptor (MpCOI1-Mp Jasmonate-Zinc finger inflorescence meristem domain [MpJAZ]) in Marchantia. By analyzing mutants impaired in the production of LCPUFAs, we elucidate the major biosynthetic pathway of C20-OPDA and Δ4-dn-OPDA. Moreover, using a double mutant compromised in the production of both Δ4-dn-OPDA and dn-OPDA, we demonstrate the additive nature of these molecules in the activation of jasmonate responses. Taken together, our data identify a ligand of MpCOI1 and demonstrate LCPUFAs as a source of bioactive jasmonates that are essential to the immune response of M. polymorpha.

Abstract
The phytohormones ethylene (ET) and jasmonate (JA) regulate plant development, growth, and defense responses; however, the molecular basis for their signaling crosstalk is unclear. Here, we show that JA-ZIM-domain (JAZ) proteins, which repress JA signaling, repress trichome initiation/branching and anthocyanin accumulation, and inhibit the transcriptional activity of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-MYB members (GLABRA3 (GL3)-GL1 and TRANSPARENT TESTA 8 (TT8)-MYB75) of WD-repeat/bHLH/MYB (WBM) complexes. The ET-stabilized transcription factors ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE3 (EIN3) and EIN3-LIKE1 (EIL1) were found to bind to several members of WBM complexes, including GL3, ENHANCER OF GLABRA3 (EGL3), TT8, GL1, MYB75, and TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA1 (TTG1). This binding repressed the transcriptional activity of the bHLH-MYB proteins and inhibited anthocyanin accumulation, trichome formation, and defenses against insect herbivores while promoting root hair formation. Conversely, the JA-activated bHLH members GL3, EGL3, and TT8 of WBM complexes were able to interact with and attenuate the transcriptional activity of EIN3/EIL1 at the HOOKLESS1 promoter, and their overexpression inhibited apical hook formation. Thus, this study demonstrates a molecular framework for signaling crosstalk between JA and ET in plant development, secondary metabolism, and defense responses.

Abstract
The basal level of the plant defense hormone jasmonate (JA) in unstressed leaves is low, but wounding causes its near instantaneous increase. How JA biosynthesis is initiated is uncertain, but the lipolysis step that generates fatty acid precursors is generally considered to be the first step. Here, we used a series of physiological, pharmacological, genetic, and kinetic analyses of gene expression and hormone profiling to demonstrate that the early spiking of JA upon wounding does not depend on the expression of JA biosynthetic genes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Using a transgenic system, we showed how decoupling the responses to wounding and JA prevents the perpetual synthesis of JA in wounded leaves. We then used DEFECTIVE IN ANTHER DEHISCENCE1 (DAD1) as a model wound-responsive lipase to demonstrate that although its transient expression in leaves can elicit JA biosynthesis to a low level, an additional level of activation is triggered by wounding, which causes massive accumulation of JA. This wound-triggered boosting effect of DAD1-mediated JA synthesis can happen directly in damaged leaves or indirectly in undamaged remote leaves by the systemically transmitted wound signal. Finally, protein stability of DAD1 was influenced by wounding, α-linolenic acid, and mutation in its catalytic site. Together, the data support mechanisms that are independent of gene transcription and translation to initiate the rapid JA burst in wounded leaves and demonstrate how transient expression of the lipase can be used to reveal changes occurring at the level of activity and stability of the key lipolytic step.

Abstract
Plants, like most living organisms, spontaneously emit photons of visible light. This ultraweak endogenous chemiluminescence is linked to the oxidative metabolism, with lipid peroxidation constituting a major source of photons in plants. We imaged this signal using a very sensitive cooled CCD camera and analysed its spectral characteristics using bandpass interference filters. In vitro oxidation of lipids induced luminescence throughout the visible spectrum (450−850 nm). However, luminescence in the red spectral domain (>640 nm) occurred first, then declined in parallel with the appearance of the emission in the blue-green (<600 nm). This temporal separation suggests that the chemical species emitting in the blue-green are secondary products, possibly deriving from the red light-emitting species. This conversion did not seem to occur in planta because spontaneous chemiluminescence from plant tissues (leaves, roots) occurred only in the red/far-red light domain (>640 nm), peaking at 700−750 nm. The spectrum of plant chemiluminescence was independent of chlorophyll. The in vivo signal was modulated by cellular detoxification mechanisms and by changes in the concentration of singlet oxygen in the tissues, although the singlet oxygen luminescence bands did not appear as major bands in the spectra. Our results indicate that the intensity of endogenous chemiluminescence from plant tissues is determined by the balance between the formation of luminescent species through secondary reactions involving lipid peroxide-derived intermediates, including singlet oxygen, and their elimination by metabolizing processes. The kinetic aspects of plant chemiluminescence must be taken into account when using the signal as an oxidative stress marker.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key signalling molecules that enable cells to rapidly respond to different stimuli. In plants, ROS play a crucial role in abiotic and biotic stress sensing, integration of different environmental signals and activation of stress-response networks, thus contributing to the establishment of defence mechanisms and plant resilience. Recent advances in the study of ROS signalling in plants include the identification of ROS receptors and key regulatory hubs that connect ROS signalling with other important stress-response signal transduction pathways and hormones, as well as new roles for ROS in organelle-to-organelle and cell-to-cell signalling. Our understanding of how ROS are regulated in cells by balancing production, scavenging and transport has also increased. In this Review, we discuss these promising developments and how they might be used to increase plant resilience to environmental stress.

Abstract
Wounding not only induces the expression of damage-responsive genes, but also initiates physiological changes, such as tissue repair, vascular reconnection, and de novo organogenesis in locally damaged tissues. Wound-induced signals also propagate from the site of wounding to distal organs to elicit a systemic response. Electrical signaling, which is the most conserved type of systemic signaling in eukaryotes, is triggered by wound-induced membrane potential changes. Changes in membrane potential spread toward systemic tissues in synergy with chemical and hydraulic signals. Here, we review current knowledge on wound-induced local and systemic responses in plants. We focus particularly on how wound-activated plasma membrane-localized ion channels and pumps propagate systemic information about wounding to induce downstream molecular responses in distal tissues. Finally, we propose future studies that could lead to a better understanding of plant electrical signals and their role in physiological responses to wounding.

Abstract
Lipid-derived jasmonates (JAs) play a crucial role in a variety of plant development and defense mechanisms. In recent years, significant progress has been made toward understanding the JA signaling pathway. In this review, we discuss JA biosynthesis, as well as its core signaling pathway, termination mechanisms, and the evolutionary origin of JA signaling. JA regulates not only plant regeneration, reproductive growth, and vegetative growth but also the responses of plants to stresses, including pathogen as well as virus infection, herbivore attack, and abiotic stresses. We also focus on the JA signaling pathway, considering its crosstalk with the gibberellin (GA), auxin, and phytochrome signaling pathways for mediation of the trade-offs between growth and defense. In summary, JA signals regulate multiple outputs of plant defense and growth and act to balance growth and defense in order to adapt to complex environments.

The AtMYB60 transcription factor regulates stomatal opening by modulating oxylipin synthesis in guard cells. Sci Rep 2022; 12:533. [PMID: 35017563 PMCID: PMC8752683 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-04433-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Stomata are epidermal pores formed by pairs of specialized guard cells, which regulate gas exchanges between the plant and the atmosphere. Modulation of transcription has emerged as an important level of regulation of stomatal activity. The AtMYB60 transcription factor was previously identified as a positive regulator of stomatal opening, although the details of its function remain unknown. Here, we propose a role for AtMYB60 as a negative modulator of oxylipins synthesis in stomata. The atmyb60-1 mutant shows reduced stomatal opening and accumulates increased levels of 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (12-OPDA), jasmonic acid (JA) and jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) in guard cells. We provide evidence that 12-OPDA triggers stomatal closure independently of JA and cooperatively with abscisic acid (ABA) in atmyb60-1. Our study highlights the relevance of oxylipins metabolism in stomatal regulation and indicates AtMYB60 as transcriptional integrator of ABA and oxylipins responses in guard cells.

Abstract
Rose plants are one of the most important horticultural crops, whose commercial value mainly depends on long-distance transportation, and wounding and ethylene are the main factors leading to their quality decline and accelerated senescence in the process. However, underlying molecular mechanisms of crosstalk between wounding and ethylene in the regulation of flower senescence remain poorly understood. In relation to this, transcriptome analysis was performed on rose flowers subjected to various treatments, including control, wounding, ethylene, and wounding- and ethylene- (EW) dual treatment. A large number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, ranging from 2,442 between the ethylene- and control-treated groups to 4,055 between the EW- and control-treated groups. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), we identified a hub gene RhWRKY33 (rchiobhmchr5g0071811), accumulated in the nucleus, where it may function as a transcription factor. Moreover, quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) results showed that the expression of RhWRKY33 was higher in the wounding-, ethylene, and EW-treated petals than in the control-treated petals. We also functionally characterized the RhWRKY33 gene through virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). The silencing of RhWRKY33 significantly delayed the senescence process in the different treatments (control, wounding, ethylene, and EW). Meanwhile, we found that the effect of RhWRKY33-silenced petals under ethylene and EW dual-treatment were stronger than those under wounding treatment in delaying the petal senescence process, implying that RhWRKY33 is closely involved with ethylene and wounding mediated petal senescence. Overall, the results indicate that RhWRKY33 positively regulates the onset of floral senescence mediated by both ethylene and wounding signaling, but relies heavily on ethylene signaling.

Abstract
Lipoxygenase (LOX, EC 1.13.11.12) is a non-haeme iron-containing dioxygenase family that catalyzes the oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids into bio-functionally fatty acid diverse (oxylipins) and plays vital role in plant growth and development and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Though LOX genes have been studied in many plant species, their roles in Brassicaceae species are still unknown. Here, a set of 14, 18, and 33 putative LOX genes were identified in Brassica rapa, Brassica oleracea and Brassica napus (allotetraploid rapeseed), respectively, which could be divided into 9-LOX (LOX1/5), 13-LOX type I (LOX3/4/6), and type II (LOX2) subgroups. There was an expansion of LOX2 orthologous genes in Brassicaceae. Most of the LOX genes are intron rich and conserved in gene structure, and the LOX proteins all have the conserved lipoxygenase and PLAT/LH2 domain. Ka/Ks ratio revealed that the majority of LOXs underwent purifying selection in Brassicaceae. The light-, ABA-, MeJA-related cis-elements and MYB-binding sites in the promoters of BnaLOXs were the most abundant. BnaLOXs displayed different spatiotemporal expression patterns and various abiotic/biotic stress responsive expression patterns. BnaLOX1/5 were slightly or no response to phytohormones and abiotic stresses. BnaLOX3/4/6 predominantly express in roots and were strongly up-regulated by salinity and PEG treatments, and BnaLOX3/4 were the methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and salicylic acid (SA) early response genes and strongly induced by infection of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum; while the BnaLOX2 members predominantly express in stamens, were MeJA and SA continuous response genes and strongly repressed by cold, heat and waterlogging treatments in leaves. Our results are useful for understanding the biological functions of the BnaLOX genes in allotetraploid rapeseed.

Abstract
Biosynthesis/metabolism, perception/signaling, and transport are three essential aspects of the actions of phytohormones. Jasmonates (JAs), including jasmonic acid (JA) and related oxylipins, are implicated in the regulation of a range of ecological interactions, as well as developmental programs to integrate these interactions. Jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is the most bioactive JAs, and perception of JA-Ile by its coreceptor, the Skp1-Cullin1-F-box-type (SCF) protein ubiquitin ligase complex SCFCOI1-JAZ, in the nucleus derepresses the transcriptional repression of target genes. The biosynthesis and metabolism of JAs occur in the plastid, peroxisome, cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, and vacuole, whereas sensing of JA-Ile levels occurs in the nucleus. It is increasingly apparent that a number of transporters, particularly members of the jasmonates transporter (JAT) family, located at endomembranes as well as the plasma membrane, constitute a network for modulating and coordinating the metabolic flux and signaling of JAs. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the metabolism, signaling, and especially the transport of JAs, focusing on intracellular compartmentation of these processes. The roles of transporter-mediated cell-cell transport in driving long-distance transport and signaling of JAs are also discussed.

Abstract
Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo is a precious traditional Chinese medicine. Despite D. officinale displaying a good salt-tolerance level, the yield and growth of D. officinale were impaired drastically by the increasing soil secondary salinization. The molecular mechanisms of D. officinale plants' adaptation to salt stress are not well documented. Therefore, in the present study, D. officinale plants were treated with 250 mM NaCl. Transcriptome analysis showed that salt stress significantly altered various metabolic pathways, including phenylalanine metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, and α-linolenic acid metabolism, and significantly upregulated the mRNA expression levels of DoAOC, DoAOS, DoLOX2S, DoMFP, and DoOPR involved in the jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis pathway, as well as rutin synthesis genes involved in the flavonoid synthesis pathway. In addition, metabolomics analysis showed that salt stress induced the accumulation of some compounds in D. officinale leaves, especially flavonoids, sugars, and alkaloids, which may play an important role in salt-stress responses of leaf tissues from D. officinale. Moreover, salt stress could trigger JA biosynthesis, and JA may act as a signal molecule that promotes flavonoid biosynthesis in D. officinale leaves. To sum up, D. officinale plants adapted to salt stress by enhancing the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Drought induces osmotic stress in roots, a condition simulated by the application of high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol. Osmotic stress results in the reduction of Arabidopsis thaliana root growth and production of 1O2 from an unknown non-photosynthetic source. Reduced root growth can be alleviated by application of the 1O2 scavenger histidine (HIS). Here, we examined the possibility that 1O2 production involves Russell reactions occurring among the enzymatic products of lipoxygenases (LOXs), the fatty acid hydroperoxides. LOX activity was measured for purified soybean (Glycine max) LOX1 and in crude Arabidopsis root extracts using linoleic acid as substrate. Formation of the 13(S)-Hydroperoxy-9(Z),11(E)-octadecadienoic acid product was inhibited by salicylhdroxamic acid, which is a LOX inhibitor, but not by HIS, whereas 1O2 production was inhibited by both. D2O, which specifically extends the half-life of 1O2, augmented the LOX-dependent generation of 1O2, as expected from a Russell-type reaction. The addition of linoleic acid to roots stimulated 1O2 production and inhibited growth, suggesting that the availability of LOX substrate is a rate-limiting step. Indeed, water stress rapidly increased linoleic and linolenic acids by 2.5-fold in roots. Mutants with root-specific microRNA repression of LOXs showed downregulation of LOX protein and activity. The lines with downregulated LOX displayed significantly less 1O2 formation, improved root growth in osmotic stress, and an altered transcriptome response compared with wild type. The results show that LOXs can serve as an enzymatic source of "dark" 1O2 during osmotic stress and demonstrate a role for 1O2 in defining the physiological response.

Abstract
Plants possess a systemic signaling system whereby local stimuli can lead to rapid, plant-wide responses. In addition to the redistribution of chemical messengers that range from RNAs and peptides to hormones and metabolites, a communication system acting through the transmission of electrical, Ca2+, reactive oxygen species and potentially even hydraulic signals has also been discovered. This latter system can propagate signals across many cells each second and researchers are now beginning to uncover the molecular machineries behind this rapid communications network. Thus, elements such as the reactive oxygen species producing NAPDH oxidases and ion channels of the two pore channel, glutamate receptor-like and cyclic nucleotide gated families are all required for the rapid propagation of these signals. Upon arrival at their distant targets, these changes trigger responses ranging from the production of hormones, to changes in the levels of primary metabolites and shifts in patterns of gene expression. These systemic responses occur within seconds to minutes of perception of the initial, local signal, allowing for the rapid deployment of plant-wide responses. For example, an insect starting to chew on just a single leaf triggers preemptive antiherbivore defenses throughout the plant well before it has a chance to move on to the next leaf on its menu.

Abstract
This report shows detailed characterization of LOX gene family in sorghum and provides new insight of sorghum LOX genes in genetic structure and their roles in plant response to infestation by sugarcane aphids. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are monomeric, nonheme iron-containing dioxygenases that initiate the fatty acid oxidation pathway creating oxylipins and plant hormone jasmonate both have a key role in plant development and defense. To date, a comprehensive and systematic analysis of sorghum LOXs is still deficient. Thus, we performed a genome-wide analysis of the sorghum LOXs genome and identified nine LOXs genes. Detailed examination of protein sequences and phylogenetic analysis categorized the sorghum LOXs into two subclasses, 9-LOXs (SbLOX1, SbLOX3, SbLOX4, SbLOXm, and SbLOXo), 13-LOXs (SbLOX9, SbLOX5, and SbLOX2), and the unclassified SbLOX8. This classification was further supported by sequence similarity/identity matrix and subcellular localization analysis. The lipoxygenase domains, motifs, and vital amino acids were highly conserved in all sorghum LOX genes. In silico analysis of the promoter region of SbLOXs identified different hormones responsive cis-elements. Furthermore, to explore the roles of sorghum LOXs during sugarcane aphid feeding and exogenous MeJA application, expression analysis was conducted for all the eight LOXs in resistant (Tx2783) and susceptible (Tx7000) sorghum lines, respectively. As detailed in this report, the data generated from both genome-wide identification and expression analysis of lipoxygenase genes suggest the putative functions of two 13-LOXs (SbLOX9 and SbLOX5) and three 9-LOXs (SbLOX1, SbLOX3, and SbLOXo) in biosynthesis of jasmonic acid, green leaf volatiles and death acids, and all of them are involved in defense-related functions in plants. Furthermore, this report represents the first genome-wide analysis of the LOX gene family in sorghum, which will facilitate future studies to characterize the roles of each individual LOXs gene in aphid resistance and defense responses to other stresses.

Abstract
Volatiles are important airborne chemical messengers that facilitate plant adaptation to a variety of environmental challenges. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) produce a bouquet of non-volatile and volatile oxylipins, including C6 green leaf volatiles (GLVs), which are involved in a litany of plant physiological processes. GLVs are emitted by a diverse array of plant species, and are the best-known group of LOX-derived volatiles. Five-carbon pentyl leaf volatiles (PLVs) represent another widely emitted group of LOX-derived volatiles that share structural similarity to GLVs, however, relatively little is known about their biosynthesis or biological activity. In this study, we utilized PLV-deficient mutants of maize and Arabidopsis and exogenous PLV applications to elucidate the biosynthetic order of individual PLVs. We further measured PLVs and GLVs after tissue disruption of leaves by two popular methods of volatile elicitation, wounding and freeze-thawing. Freeze-thawing distorted the volatile metabolism of both GLVs and PLVs relative to wounding, though this distortion differed between the two groups of volatiles. These results suggest that despite the structural similarity of these two volatile groups, they are differentially metabolized. Collectively, these results have allowed us to produce the most robust PLV pathway to date. To better elucidate the biological activity of PLVs, we show that PLVs induce maize resistance to the anthracnose pathogen, Colletotrichum graminicola, the effect opposite to that conferred by GLVs. Further analysis of PLV-treated and infected maize leaves revealed that PLV-mediated resistance is associated with early increases of oxylipin α- and γ-ketols, and later increases of oxylipin ketotrienes, hydroxytrienes, and trihydroxydienes. Ultimately, this study has produced the most up-to-date pathway for PLV synthesis, and reveals that PLVs can facilitate pathogen resistance through induction of select oxylipins.

Abstract
Compared to other species, plants stand out by their unparalleled self-repair capacities. Being the loss of a single cell or an entire tissue, most plant species are able to efficiently repair the inflicted damage. Although this self-repair process is commonly referred to as "regeneration," depending on the type of damage and organ being affected, subtle to dramatic differences in the modus operandi can be observed. Recent publications have focused on these different types of tissue damage and their associated response in initiating the regeneration process. Here, we review the regeneration response following loss of a single cell to a complete organ, emphasizing key molecular players and hormonal cues involved in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana. In addition, we highlight the agricultural applications and techniques that make use of these regenerative responses in different crop and tree species.

Abstract
The transmission of mobile wound signals along the phloem pathway is essential to the activation of wound-induced systemic response/resistance, which requires an upsurge of jasmonic acid (JA) in the distal undamaged leaves. Among these mobile signals, the electrical signal mediated by the glutamate-dependent activation of several clade three GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE (GLR3) proteins is involved in the stimulation of JA production in distal leaves. However, whether JA acts as a mobile wound signal and, if so, how it is transmitted and interacts with the electrical signal remain unclear. Here, we show that JA was translocated from the local to distal leaves in Arabidopsis, and this process was predominantly regulated by two phloem-expressed and plasma membrane-localized jasmonate transporters, AtJAT3 and AtJAT4. In addition to the cooperation between AtJAT3/4 and GLR3.3 in the regulation of long-distance JA translocation, our findings indicate that importer-mediated cell-cell JA transport is important for driving the loading and translocation of JA in the phloem pathway in a self-propagating manner.

Abstract
Wound-response plant growth restriction requires the synthesis of potent mediators called jasmonates (JAs). Four 13-lipoxygenases (13-LOXs) produce JA precursors in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) leaves, but the 13-LOXs responsible for growth restriction have not yet been identified. Through loss-of-function genetic analyses, we identified LOX3 and LOX4 as the principal 13-LOXs responsible for vegetative growth restriction after repetitive wounding. Additional genetic studies were carried out in the gain-of-function fatty acid oxygenation 2 (fou2) mutant that, even when undamaged, shows JA-dependent leaf growth restriction. The fou2 lox3 lox4 triple mutant suppressed the fou2 JA-dependent growth phenotype, confirming that LOX3 and LOX4 function in leaf growth restriction. The fou2 mutation affects the TWO PORE CHANNEL1 (TPC1) ion channel. Additional genetic approaches based on this gene were used to further investigate LOX3 function in relation to leaf growth. To activate LOX3-dependent JA production in unwounded plants, we employed hyperactive TPC1 variants. Expression of the TPC1ΔCa i variant in phloem companion cells caused strongly reduced rosette growth in the absence of wounding. Summarizing, in parallel to their established roles in male reproductive development in Arabidopsis, LOX3 and LOX4 control leaf growth rates after wounding. The process of wound-response growth restriction can be recapitulated in unwounded plants when the LOX3 pathway is activated genetically using a hyperactive vacuolar cation channel.

Abstract
Mycotoxins in agriculturally used plants can cause intoxication in animals and can lead to severe financial losses for farmers. The endophytic fungus Epichloë festucae var. lolii living symbiotically within the cool season grass species Lolium perenne can produce vertebrate and invertebrate toxic alkaloids. Hence, an exact quantitation of alkaloid concentrations is essential to determine intoxication risk for animals. Many studies use different methods to detect alkaloid concentrations, which complicates the comparability. In this study, we showed that alkaloid concentrations of individual plants exceeded toxicity thresholds on real world grasslands in Germany, but not on the population level. Alkaloid concentrations on five German grasslands with high alkaloid levels peaked in summer but were also below toxicity thresholds on population level. Furthermore, we showed that alkaloid concentrations follow the same seasonal trend, regardless of whether plant fresh or dry weight was used, in the field and in a common garden study. However, alkaloid concentrations were around three times higher when detected with dry weight. Finally, we showed that alkaloid concentrations can additionally be biased to different alkaloid detection methods. We highlight that toxicity risks should be analyzed using plant dry weight, but concentration trends of fresh weight are reliable.

Abstract
Plants in nature are constantly exposed to organisms that touch them and wound them. A highly conserved response to these stimuli is a rapid collapse of membrane potential (i.e. a decrease of electrical field strength across membranes). This can be coupled to the production and/or action of jasmonate or ethylene. Here, the various types of electrical signals in plants are discussed in the context of hormone responses. Genetic approaches are revealing genes involved in wound-induced electrical signalling. These include clade 3 GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE (GLR) genes, Arabidopsis H+ -ATPases (AHAs), RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOGUEs (RBOHs), and genes that determine cell wall properties. We briefly review touch- and wound-induced increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations and their temporal relationship to electrical activities. We then look at the questions that need addressing to link mechanostimulation and wound-induced electrical activity to hormone responses. Utilizing recently published results, we also present a hypothesis for wound-response leaf-to-leaf electrical signalling. This model is based on rapid electro-osmotic coupling between the phloem and xylem. The model suggests that the depolarization of membranes within the vascular matrix triggered by physical stimuli and/or chemical elicitors is linked to changes in phloem turgor and that this plays vital roles in leaf-to-leaf electrical signal propagation.

Abstract
In response to various stimuli, plants acquire resistance against pests and/or pathogens. Such acquired or induced resistance allows plants to rapidly adapt to their environment. Spraying the bark of mature Norway spruce (Picea abies) trees with the phytohormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA) enhances resistance to tree-killing bark beetles and their associated phytopathogenic fungi. Analysis of spruce chemical defenses and beetle colonization success suggests that MeJA treatment both directly induces immune responses and primes inducible defenses for a faster and stronger response to subsequent beetle attack. We used metabolite and transcriptome profiling to explore the mechanisms underlying MeJA-induced resistance in Norway spruce. We demonstrated that MeJA treatment caused substantial changes in the bark transcriptional response to a triggering stress (mechanical wounding). Profiling of mRNA expression showed a suite of spruce inducible defenses are primed following MeJA treatment. Although monoterpenes and diterpene resin acids increased more rapidly after wounding in MeJA-treated than control bark, expression of their biosynthesis genes did not. We suggest that priming of inducible defenses is part of a complex mixture of defense responses that underpins the increased resistance against bark beetle colonization observed in Norway spruce. This study provides the most detailed insights yet into the mechanisms underlying induced resistance in a long-lived gymnosperm.

Abstract
Plants defend against herbivores and nematodes by rapidly sending signals from the wounded sites to the whole plant. We investigated how plants generate and transduce these rapidly moving, long-distance signals referred to as systemic wound signals. We developed a system for measuring systemic responses to root wounding in Arabidopsis thaliana We found that root wounding or the application of glutamate to wounded roots was sufficient to trigger root-to-shoot Ca2+ waves and slow wave potentials (SWPs). Both of these systemic signals were inhibited by either disruption of both GLR3.3 and GLR3.6, which encode glutamate receptor-like proteins (GLRs), or constitutive activation of the P-type H+-ATPase AHA1. We further showed that GLR3.3 and GLR3.6 displayed Ca2+-permeable channel activities gated by both glutamate and extracellular pH. Together, these results support the hypothesis that wounding inhibits P-type H+-ATPase activity, leading to apoplastic alkalization. This, together with glutamate released from damaged phloem, activates GLRs, resulting in depolarization of membranes in the form of SWPs and the generation of cytosolic Ca2+ increases to propagate systemic wound signaling.

PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2020; 174:112334.

Abstract
Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) and jasmonates (JAs) are the best-characterized groups of fatty acid-derived oxylipin signals that regulate wound-associated defenses. Beyond these two major groups of defense signals, plants produce an array of oxylipins in response to wounding, which possess potent signaling and/or insecticidal activities. In this study, we assessed the relative contribution of JAs and GLVs to wound-induced systemic signaling and the associated regulation of oxylipins in local and systemic tissues of maize (Zea mays). For this, we utilized GLV- and JA-deficient mutants, lox10 single and opr7opr8 double mutants, respectively, and profiled oxylipins in untreated leaves and roots, and in locally wounded and systemic leaves. In contrast to the studies in dicots, no systemic induction of JAs was observed in maize. Instead, a JA precursor, 12-OPDA, as well as ketols and C12/13 oxo-acids derived from 13-lipoxygenases (LOXs), were preferentially induced in both locally wounded and systemic unwounded leaves. Several 9-LOX-derived oxylipins (9-oxylipins) including hydroxides and ketones were also significantly induced locally. JA and JA-isoleucine (JA-Ile) were rapidly induced within 0.5 h, and were followed by a second increase in local tissue 4 h after wounding. GLV-deficient lox10 mutants displayed reduced levels of most 13-oxylipins, and elevated levels of several 9-oxylipins and the a-dioxygenase (DOX) product, 2-HOD. lox10 mutants were completely devoid of C6 volatiles and their C12 counterparts, and greatly decreased in C5 volatiles and their C13 oxo-acid counterparts. Thus, in addition to being the sole LOX isoform providing substrate for GLV synthesis, LOX10 is a major 13-LOX that provides substrate to several LOX branches that produce an array of 13-oxylipin products, including C5 volatiles. Interestingly, the rapid JA and JA-Ile increase at 0.5-2 h post-wounding was only moderately affected by the LOX10 mutation, while significantly reduced levels were observed at 4 h post-wounding. Combined with the previous findings that GLVs activate JA biosynthesis, these results suggest that both LOX10-derived substrates and/or GLVs are involved in the large second phase of JA synthesis proximal to the wound. Analyses of opr7opr8 mutants revealed that wound-induced oxylipin responses were positively regulated by JA signaling. The local and systemic accumulation of SA was not altered in the two mutants. Collectively, our results identified a subset of oxylipins strongly induced in wounded and systemic leaves, but their impact on insect defenses remain elusive. The lack of systemic induction of JAs points to substantial difference between systemic wound responses in studied dicots and maize. Our results show that GLV-deficiency and reduced JA in lox10 mutants had a greater impact on wound-induced local and systemic tissue oxylipin responses compared to the solely JA-deficient opr7opr8 double mutants. This suggests that GLVs or other LOX10-derived products heavily contribute to overall basal and wound-induced oxylipin responses. The specific roles of the GLV- and/or JA-dependent oxylipins in wound responses and defense remain to be further investigated by a combination of multiple orders of oxylipin-deficient mutants.

Abstract
Decoding wound signalling in plants is critical for understanding various aspects of plant sciences, from pest resistance to secondary metabolite and phytohormone biosynthesis. The plant defence responses are known to primarily involve NADPH-oxidase-mediated H2O2 and Ca2+ signalling pathways, which propagate across long distances through the plant vasculature and tissues. Using non-destructive optical nanosensors, we find that the H2O2 concentration profile post-wounding follows a logistic waveform for six plant species: lettuce (Lactuca sativa), arugula (Eruca sativa), spinach (Spinacia oleracea), strawberry blite (Blitum capitatum), sorrel (Rumex acetosa) and Arabidopsis thaliana, ranked in order of wave speed from 0.44 to 3.10 cm min-1. The H2O2 wave tracks the concomitant surface potential wave measured electrochemically. We show that the plant RbohD glutamate-receptor-like channels (GLR3.3 and GLR3.6) are all critical to the propagation of the wound-induced H2O2 wave. Our findings highlight the utility of a new type of nanosensor probe that is species-independent and capable of real-time, spatial and temporal biochemical measurements in plants.

Abstract
Jasmonic acid (JA) and its many derivatives-collectively referred as jasmonates-occur ubiquitously in land plants and regulate a wide range of stress-responses and development. Measuring these signaling compounds is complicated by the large number of jasmonate derivatives and the comparatively low concentration of these metabolites in plant tissues. We, here, present a selective and sensitive method consisting of a two-phase extraction coupled with liquid chromatography, nanoelectrospray ionization, and mass spectrometry to determine jasmonate levels in tissues and fluids of various plant species. The application of stable deuterium-labelled standards in combination with authentic standards allows the absolute quantification of a multitude of jasmonates and, additionally, the semi-quantitative analysis of further metabolites from the jasmonate pathway.
