The MdHSC70-MdWRKY75 module mediates basal apple thermotolerance by regulating the expression of heat shock factor genes. THE PLANT CELL 2024; 36:3631-3653. [PMID: 38865439 PMCID: PMC11371167 DOI: 10.1093/plcell/koae171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
Heat stress severely restricts the growth and fruit development of apple (Malus domestica). Little is known about the involvement of WRKY proteins in the heat tolerance mechanism in apple. In this study, we found that the apple transcription factor (TF) MdWRKY75 responds to heat and positively regulates basal thermotolerance. Apple plants that overexpressed MdWRKY75 were more tolerant to heat stress while silencing MdWRKY75 caused the opposite phenotype. RNA-seq and reverse transcription quantitative PCR showed that heat shock factor genes (MdHsfs) could be the potential targets of MdWRKY75. Electrophoretic mobility shift, yeast one-hybrid, β-glucuronidase, and dual-luciferase assays showed that MdWRKY75 can bind to the promoters of MdHsf4, MdHsfB2a, and MdHsfA1d and activate their expression. Apple plants that overexpressed MdHsf4, MdHsfB2a, and MdHsfA1d exhibited heat tolerance and rescued the heat-sensitive phenotype of MdWRKY75-Ri3. In addition, apple heat shock cognate 70 (MdHSC70) interacts with MdWRKY75, as shown by yeast two-hybrid, split luciferase, bimolecular fluorescence complementation, and pull-down assays. MdHSC70 acts as a negative regulator of the heat stress response. Apple plants that overexpressed MdHSC70 were sensitive to heat, while virus-induced gene silencing of MdHSC70 enhanced heat tolerance. Additional research showed that MdHSC70 exhibits heat sensitivity by interacting with MdWRKY75 and inhibiting MdHsfs expression. In summary, we proposed a mechanism for the response of apple to heat that is mediated by the "MdHSC70/MdWRKY75-MdHsfs" molecular module, which enhances our understanding of apple thermotolerance regulated by WRKY TFs.

Abstract
Development is a self-organized process that builds on cells and their interactions. Cells are heterogeneous in gene expression, growth, and division; yet how development is robust despite such heterogeneity is a fascinating question. Here, we review recent progress on this topic, highlighting how developmental robustness is achieved through self-organization. We will first discuss sources of heterogeneity, including stochastic gene expression, heterogeneity in growth rate and direction, and heterogeneity in division rate and precision. We then discuss cellular mechanisms that buffer against such noise, including Paf1C- and miRNA-mediated denoising, spatiotemporal growth averaging and compensation, mechanisms to improve cell division precision, and coordination of growth rate and developmental timing between different parts of an organ. We also discuss cases where such heterogeneity is not buffered but utilized for development. Finally, we highlight potential directions for future studies of noise and developmental robustness.

Abstract
Cassava is one of the most important tropical crops, but it is seriously affected by cassava bacteria blight (CBB) caused by the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas phaseoli pv manihotis (Xam). So far, how pathogen Xam infects and how host cassava defends during pathogen-host interaction remains elusive, restricting the prevention and control of CBB. Here, the illustration of HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 90 kDa (MeHSP90.9) interacting proteins in both cassava and bacterial pathogen revealed the dual roles of MeHSP90.9 in cassava-Xam interaction. On the one hand, calmodulin-domain protein kinase 1 (MeCPK1) directly interacted with MeHSP90.9 to promote its protein phosphorylation at serine 175 residue. The protein phosphorylation of MeHSP90.9 improved the transcriptional activation of MeHSP90.9 clients (SHI-RELATED SEQUENCE 1 (MeSRS1) and MeWRKY20) to the downstream target genes (avrPphB Susceptible 3 (MePBS3) and N-aceylserotonin O-methyltransferase 2 (MeASMT2)) and immune responses. On the other hand, Xanthomonas outer protein C2 (XopC2) physically associated with MeHSP90.9 to inhibit its interaction with MeCPK1 and the corresponding protein phosphorylation by MeCPK1, so as to repress host immune responses and promote bacterial pathogen infection. In summary, these results provide new insights into genetic improvement of cassava disease resistance and extend our understanding of cassava-bacterial pathogen interaction.

Genome-Wide Analysis of the Oat ( Avena sativa) HSP90 Gene Family Reveals Its Identification, Evolution, and Response to Abiotic Stress. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2305. [PMID: 38396983 PMCID: PMC10889330 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25042305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Oats (Avena sativa) are an important cereal crop and cool-season forage worldwide. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a protein ubiquitously expressed in response to heat stress in almost all plants. To date, the HSP90 gene family has not been comprehensively reported in oats. Herein, we have identified twenty HSP90 genes in oats and elucidated their evolutionary pathways and responses to five abiotic stresses. The gene structure and motif analyses demonstrated consistency across the phylogenetic tree branches, and the groups exhibited relative structural conservation. Additionally, we identified ten pairs of segmentally duplicated genes in oats. Interspecies synteny analysis and orthologous gene identification indicated that oats share a significant number of orthologous genes with their ancestral species; this implies that the expansion of the oat HSP90 gene family may have occurred through oat polyploidization and large fragment duplication. The analysis of cis-acting elements revealed their influential role in the expression pattern of HSP90 genes under abiotic stresses. Analysis of oat gene expression under high-temperature, salt, cadmium (Cd), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and abscisic acid (ABA) stresses demonstrated that most AsHSP90 genes were significantly up-regulated by heat stress, particularly AsHSP90-7, AsHSP90-8, and AsHSP90-9. This study offers new insights into the amplification and evolutionary processes of the AsHSP90 protein, as well as its potential role in response to abiotic stresses. Furthermore, it lays the groundwork for understanding oat adaptation to abiotic stress, contributing to research and applications in plant breeding.

Abstract
Although 6:2 fluorotelomer carboxylic acid (6:2 FTCA), which is one of the most popular substitutes for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), has been widely distributed in environments, little is known about its biotransformation mechanism and phytotoxic effects in plants. Here, we showed that 6:2 FTCA could be taken up by pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima L.) roots from exposure solution and acropetally translocated to shoots. Biotransformation of 6:2 FTCA to different carbon chain perfluorocarboxylic acid (PFCA) metabolites (C2-C7) via α-and β-oxidation in pumpkin was observed, and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) was the major transformation product. The results of enzyme assays, enzyme inhibition experiments and gene expression analysis indicated that cytochrome P450 (CYP450), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters were involved in the metabolism of 6:2 FTCA in pumpkin. Plant-associated rhizobacteria and endophyte also contributed to 6:2 FTCA degradation through β-oxidation. The chlorophyll (Chl) content and genes involved in photosynthesis were significantly improved by 6:2 FTCA. The reductions of antioxidant and metabolic enzyme activities reflected the antioxidant defense system and detoxification system of pumpkin were both damaged, which were further confirmed by the down-regulating associated genes encoding phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, endoplasmic reticulum-related proteins, ascorbate-glutathione cycle and ABC transporters. This study is helpful to understand the environmental behaviors and toxicological molecular mechanisms of 6:2 FTCA in plants.

Abstract
Heat shock protein AtHSP90-2 is one of the three constitutive cytosolic HSP90s of Arabidopsis thaliana, which are highly homologous and show mild expression activation in response to stressful impacts. To characterize the functioning of AtHSP90-2, we have analyzed tissue-specificity of its expression during seedling development using a DsG transgenic line carrying a loss-of-function mutation of AtHSP90-2 via translational fusions with the β-glucuronidase reporter gene (GUS). Histochemical analysis during the first two weeks of seedling growth revealed AtHSP90-2 expression in all organs, as well as differences in its intensity between tissues and showed its dynamics. The tissue-specific AtHSP90-2-GUS expression pattern was shown to be maintained under heat shock and water deficit. The most prominent GUS staining was detected in the vascular system and hydathodes of cotyledons, and stipules. The basipetal gradient of AtHSP90-2 expression during leaf formation, its dynamics in developing stipules, and the high level of its expression in cells with active transport function suggest a special role for the gene in certain cellular processes.

Abstract
High-temperature stress has become a major abiotic factor that dramatically limits plant growth and crop yield. Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to cope with high-temperature stress, but the factors that regulate plant thermotolerance remain to be discovered. Here, a high temperature-induced MYB transcription factor SlMYB41 was cloned from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Two individual SlMYB41-RNA interference (RNAi) lines (MR) and one CRISPR/Cas9 mediated myb41 mutant (MC) were obtained to investigate the function of SlMYB41 in tomato thermotolerance. Under high-temperature stress, we found that the MR and MC lines showed more wilting than the wild type (WT), with more ion leakage, more MDA accumulation, lower contents of osmotic adjustment substances, and more accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which was resulted from lower antioxidative enzyme activities. In addition, the photosynthetic capacity and complex of MR and MC lines were damaged more seriously than WT plants under high-temperature stress, mainly manifested in lower photosynthetic rate and Fv/Fm. Moreover, heat stress-related genes, such as SlHSP17.6, SlHSP17.7, and SlHSP90.3 were downregulated in MR and MC lines. Importantly, Y1H and LUC analysis indicated that SlMYB41 can directly activate the transcription of SlHSP90.3. Together, our study suggest that SlMYB41 positively regulates tomato thermotolerance by activating the expression of SlHSP90.3.

Abstract
Plant heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) participates in various physiological processes including protein folding, degradation, and signal transduction. However, the DcHsp90 gene family in carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) has not been systematically analyzed. We thoroughly examined and comprehensively analyzed the carnation DcHsp90 gene family in this study and discovered 9 DcHsp90 genes. Based on the phylogenetic examination, DcHsp90 proteins may be divided into two groups. DcHsp90 structural features were similar but varied between groups. Promoter analysis revealed the presence of many cis-acting elements, most of which were connected to growth and development, hormones, and stress. DcHsp90 genes may play distinct functions in heat stress response, according to gene expression analyses. The DcHsp90-6 was isolated, and its role in the reaction to heat stress was studied. Thermotolerance and superoxide dismutase activity in transgenic seedlings were enhanced by Arabidopsis overexpression of DcHsp90-6. After heat stress, transgenic plants' electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde levels were much lower than wild-type plants. Furthermore, overexpression of DcHsp90-6 altered the expressions of stress-responsive genes such as AtHsp101, AtHsp90, AtGolS1, AtRS4/5, and AtHsfB1. This study provides comprehensive information on the DcHsp90 gene family and suggests that overexpressed DcHsp90-6 positively regulates thermotolerance highlighting the adaptation mechanism of carnation under heat stress.

Abstract
Being part of the human diet, peach is an important fruit consumed worldwide. In the present study, a systematic first insight into the N-glycosylation of peach fruit during ripening was provided. First, N-glycome by reactive matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry indicated that 6 of 24 N-glycans of peach were differentially expressed. Second, a comparative N-glycoproteome was characterized via 18O-tagged N-glycosylation site labeling followed by nano-liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-ESI-MS/MS). Totally 1464 N-glycosites on 881 N-glycoproteins were identified, among which 291 N-glycosites on 237 N-glycoproteins were expressed differentially with a fold change value of 1.5 or 0.67. The enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG revealed that four pathways including other glycan degradation, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum were mainly enriched, in which several important N-glycoproteins with dynamic change during fruit ripening were further screened out. Our findings on a large scale for N-glycosylation analysis of peach fruit during ripening may provide new molecular insights for comprehending N-glycoprotein functions, which should be of great interest to both glycobiologists and analytical chemists.

Abstract
Although the ecological impacts of antibiotics have received attention worldwide, research on the toxicity of florfenicol is still limited. We conducted a metabolomic and proteomic study on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings to reveal the toxicological mechanism of florfenicol. The growth of the wheat seedlings was found to be inhibited by florfenicol. Antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase), malondialdehyde content and membrane permeability increased with increasing florfenicol concentration. The contents of chlorophyll and chlorophyll synthesis precursor substances (Proto IX, Mg-proto IX and Pchlide), photosynthetic and respiration rates, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters decreased, indicating that photosynthesis was inhibited. The ultrastructure of chloroplasts was destroyed, as evidenced by the blurred membrane surface, irregular grana arrangement, irregular thylakoid lamella structure, and increased plastoglobuli number. Proteome analysis revealed that up-regulated proteins were highly involved in protein refolding, translation, oxidation-reduction, tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), reactive oxygen species metabolic process, cellular oxidant detoxification, and response to oxidative stress. The down-regulated proteins were mainly enriched in photosynthesis-related pathways. In the metabolome analysis, the content of most of the metabolites in wheat leaves, such as carbohydrates and amino acids increased significantly (p < 0.05). Combined pathway analysis showed that florfenicol stress stimulated the TCA cycle pathway and downregulated the photosynthesis pathway.

THE NEW PHYTOLOGIST 2023. [PMID: 36707919 DOI: 10.1111/nph.18776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Light and temperature are two key environmental signals that share several molecular components that, in turn, regulate plant growth. Darkness and high ambient temperatures promote skoto- and thermomorphogenesis, including stem elongation. Heat shock proteins 90 (HSP90s) facilitate the adaptation of organisms to various adverse environmental stimuli. Here, we showed that HSP90s are required for hypocotyl elongation during both skoto- and thermomorphogenesis. When HSP90s activities are impaired by the knockdown of HSP90s expression or the application of HSP90 inhibitors, the expression levels and protein abundance of PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4) markedly decreased. EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) deficiency was resistant to the inhibition of HSP90s activities. Furthermore, HSP90s interacted with and destabilized ELF3. In the CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) mutant, the changes in endogenous PIF4 and ELF3 protein levels caused by the inhibition of HSP90s activities were abolished. HSP90s enhanced the interaction between COP1 and ELF3, reduced ELF3 functional effects on PIF4 and modulated hypocotyl elongation during skoto- and thermomorphogenesis. Our results indicated that HSP90s participate in light and temperature signalling via the COP1-ELF3-PIF4 module to regulate hypocotyl growth in changing environments.

Abstract
In order to understand the mechanism of desiccation tolerance in Xerophyta schlechteri, we carried out an in silico study to identify hub proteins and functional modules in the nuclear proteome of the leaves. Protein-protein interaction networks were constructed and analyzed from proteome data obtained from Abdalla and Rafudeen. We constructed networks in Cytoscape using the GeneMania software and analyzed them using a Network Analyzer. Functional enrichment analysis of key proteins in the respective networks was done using GeneMania network enrichment analysis, and GO (Gene Ontology) terms were summarized using REViGO. Also, community analysis of differentially expressed proteins was conducted using the Cytoscape Apps, GeneMania and ClusterMaker. Functional modules associated with the communities were identified using an online tool, ShinyGO. We identified HSP 70-2 as the super-hub protein among the up-regulated proteins. On the other hand, 40S ribosomal protein S2-3 (a protein added by GeneMANIA) was identified as a super-hub protein associated with the down-regulated proteins. For up-regulated proteins, the enriched biological process terms were those associated with chromatin organization and negative regulation of transcription. In the down-regulated protein-set, terms associated with protein synthesis were significantly enriched. Community analysis identified three functional modules that can be categorized as chromatin organization, anti-oxidant activity and metabolic processes.

Abstract
Circuitries of signaling pathways integrate distinct hormonal and environmental signals, and influence development in plants. While a crosstalk between brassinosteroid (BR) and gibberellin (GA) signaling pathways has recently been established, little is known about other components engaged in the integration of the two pathways. Here, we provide supporting evidence for the role of HSP90 (HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 90) in regulating the interplay of the GA and BR signaling pathways to control hypocotyl elongation of etiolated seedlings in Arabidopsis. Both pharmacological and genetic depletion of HSP90 alter the expression of GA biosynthesis and catabolism genes. Major components of the GA pathway, like RGA (REPRESSOR of ga1-3) and GAI (GA-INSENSITIVE) DELLA proteins, have been identified as physically interacting with HSP90. Interestingly, GA-promoted DELLA degradation depends on the ATPase activity of HSP90, and inhibition of HSP90 function stabilizes the DELLA/BZR1 (BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1) complex, modifying the expression of downstream transcriptional targets. Our results collectively reveal that HSP90, through physical interactions with DELLA proteins and BZR1, modulates DELLA abundance and regulates the expression of BZR1-dependent transcriptional targets to promote plant growth.

Abstract
Blue mold, caused by Penicillium expansum, is the most destructive fungal disease of apples and causes great losses during the post-harvest storage of the fruit. Although some apple cultivars are resistant to P. expansum, there has been little information on the molecular mechanism of resistance. In this study, differential proteomic analysis was performed on apple samples infected and uninfected with P. expansum. Parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) technology was used to target and verify the expression of candidate proteins. The label-free technique identified 343 differentially expressed proteins, which were mainly associated with defense responses, metal ion binding, stress responses, and oxidative phosphorylation. The differential expression of enzymes related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) synthesis and scavenging, the activation of defense-related metabolic pathways, and the further production of pathogenesis-related proteins (PR proteins) during P. expansum infection in apples, and direct resistance to pathogen invasion were determined. This study reveals the mechanisms of apple response at the proteomic level with 9 h of P. expansum infection.

Abstract
The activation of BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE1 (BRI1) and its association with the BRI1 ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR KINASE1 (BAK1) are key steps for the initiation of the BR signaling cascade mediating hypocotyl elongation. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is crucial in the regulation of signaling processes and the activation of hormonal receptors. We report that HSP90 is required for the maintenance of the BRI1 receptor at the plasma membrane (PM) and its association with the BAK1 co-receptor during BL-ligand stimulation. HSP90 mediates BR perception and signal transduction through physical interactions with BRI1 and BAK1, while chaperone depletion resulted in lower levels of BRI1 and BAK1 receptors at the PM and affected the spatial partitioning and organization of BRI1/BAK1 heterocomplexes at the PM. The BRI1/BAK1 interaction relies on the HSP90-dependent activation of the kinase domain of BRI1 which leads to the confinement of the spatial dynamics of the membrane resident BRI1 and the attenuation of the downstream signaling. This is evident by the impaired activation and transcriptional activity of BRI1 EMS SUPPRESSOR 1 (BES1) upon HSP90 depletion. Our findings provide conclusive evidence that further expands the commitment of HSP90 in BR signaling through the HSP90-mediated activation of BRI1 in the control of the BR signaling cascade in plants.

Abstract
The expression of heat shock proteins is considered a central adaptive mechanism to heat stress. This study investigated the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and other stress-protective proteins against heat stress in cowpea genotypes under field (IT-96D-610 and IT-16) and controlled (IT-96D-610) conditions. Heat stress response analysis of proteins at 72 h in the controlled environment showed 270 differentially regulated proteins identified using label-free quantitative proteomics in IT-96D-610 plants. These plants expressed HSPs and chaperones [BAG family molecular chaperone 6 (BAG6), Multiprotein bridging factor1c (MBF1C) and cold shock domain protein 1 (CSDP1) in the controlled environment]. However, IT-96D-610 plants expressed a wider variety of small HSPs and more HSPs in the field. IT-96D-610 plants also responded to heat stress by exclusively expressing chaperones [DnaJ chaperones, universal stress protein and heat shock binding protein (HSBP)] and non-HSP proteins (Deg1, EGY3, ROS protective proteins, temperature-induced lipocalin and succinic dehydrogenase). Photosynthesis recovery and induction of proteins related to photosynthesis were better in IT-96D-610 because of the concurrent induction of heat stress response proteins for chaperone functions, protein degradation for repair and ROS scavenging proteins and PSII operating efficiency (Fq'/Fm') than IT-16. This study contributes to identification of thermotolerance mechanisms in cowpea that can be useful in knowledge-based crop improvement.

Abstract
Climate change is increasingly affecting the quality of life of organisms on Earth. More frequent, extreme, and lengthy heat waves are contributing to the sixth mass extinction of complex life forms in the Earth's history. From an anthropocentric point of view, global warming is a major threat to human health because it also compromises crop yields and food security. Thus, achieving agricultural productivity under climate change calls for closer examination of the molecular mechanisms of heat-stress resistance in model and crop plants. This requires a better understanding of the mechanisms by which plant cells can sense rising temperatures and establish effective molecular defenses, such as molecular chaperones and thermoprotective metabolites, as reviewed here, to survive extreme diurnal variations in temperature and seasonal heat waves.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s) are steadily gaining more attention in the field of plant biotic interactions. Though their regulation and activity in plants are much less well characterized than are those of their counterparts in mammals, accumulating evidence indicates that the role of HSP70-mediated defense mechanisms in plant cells is indispensable. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of HSP70 post-translational control in plants. We comment on the phytohormonal regulation of HSP70 expression and protein abundance, and identify a prominent role for cytokinin in HSP70 control. We outline HSP70s' subcellular localizations, chaperone activity, and chaperone-mediated protein degradation. We focus on the role of HSP70s in plant pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immunity and effector-triggered immunity, and discuss the contribution of different HSP70 subfamilies to plant defense against pathogens.

Abstract
Hevea brasiliensis is one of the most important agricultural commodities globally, heavily cultivated in Southeast Asia. Fatal leaf fall diseases cause aggressive leaf defoliation, linked to lower latex yield and death of crops before maturity. Due to the significant consequences of the disease to H. brasiliensis, the recent gene expression studies from four fall leaf diseases of H. brasiliensis were gathered; South American leaf blight, powdery mildew, Corynespora cassiicola and Phytophthora leaf fall disease. The differential analysis observed the pattern of commonly expressed genes upon fungi triggers using RT-PCR, DDRT-PCR, Real-time qRT-PCR and RNA-Seq. We have observed that RNA-Seq is the best tool to seek novel genes. Among the identified genes with defence-against fungi were pathogenesis-related genes such as β-1,3-glucanase and chitinase, the reactive oxygen species, and the phytoalexin biosynthesis. This manuscript also provided functional elaboration on the responsive genes and predicted possible biosynthetic pathways to identify and characterise novel genes in the future. At the end of the manuscript, the PCR methods and proteomic approaches were presented for future molecular and biochemical studies in the related diseases to H. brasiliensis.

Abstract
(1) Background: The white Hypsizygus marmoreus is a popular edible mushroom in East Asia markets. Research on the systematic investigation of the protein expression changes in the cultivation process of this mushroom are few. (2) Methods: Label-free LC-MS/MS quantitative proteomics analysis technique was adopted to obtain the protein expression profiles of six groups of samples collected in different growth stages. A total of 3468 proteins were identified. The UpSetR plot analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) analysis, and principal component (PC) analysis were performed to reveal the correlation among the six groups of samples. The differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were organised by One-way ANOVA test and divided into four clusters. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were performed to divide the DEPs into different metabolic processes and pathways in each cluster. (3) Results: The DEPs in cluster 1 are of the highest abundance in the mycelium and are mainly involved in protein biosynthesis, biosynthesis of cofactors, lipid metabolism, spliceosome, cell cycle regulation, and MAPK signaling pathway. The DEPs in cluster 2 are enriched in the stem and are mainly associated with protein biosynthesis, biosynthesis of cofactors, carbon, and energy metabolism. The DEPs in cluster 3 are highly expressed in the primordia and unmatured fruiting bodies and are related to amino acids metabolism, carbon and carbohydrate metabolism, protein biosynthesis and processing, biosynthesis of cofactors, cell cycle regulation, MAPK signaling pathway, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, and proteasome. The DEPs in cluster 4 are of the highest abundance in the cap and are mainly associated with spliceosome, endocytosis, nucleocytoplasmic transport, protein processing, oxidative phosphorylation, biosynthesis of cofactors, amino acids metabolism, and lipid metabolism. (4) Conclusions: This research reports the proteome analysis of different developmental stages during the cultivation of the commercially relevant edible fungi the white H. marmoreus. In the mycelium stage, most of the DEPs are associated with cell proliferation, signal response, and mycelium growth. In the primordia and unmatured fruiting bodies stage, the DEPs are mainly involved in biomass increase, cell proliferation, signal response, and differentiation. In the mature fruiting body stage, the DEPs in the stem are largely associated with cell elongation and increase in biomass, and most of the DEPs in the cap are mainly related to pileus expansion. Several carbohydrate-active enzymes, transcription factors, heat shock proteins, and some DEPs involved in MAPK and cAMP signaling pathways were determined. These proteins might play vital roles in metabolic processes and activities. This research can add value to the understanding of mechanisms concerning mushroom development during commercial production.

Abstract
Auxin homeostasis and signaling affect a broad range of developmental processes in plants. The interplay between HSP90 and auxin signaling is channeled through the chaperoning capacity of the HSP90 on the TIR1 auxin receptor. The sophisticated buffering capacity of the HSP90 system through the interaction with diverse signaling protein components drastically shapes genetic circuitries regulating various developmental aspects. However, the elegant networking capacity of HSP90 in the global regulation of auxin response and homeostasis has not been appreciated. Arabidopsis hsp90 mutants were screened for gravity response. Phenotypic analysis of root meristems and cotyledon veins was performed. PIN1 localization in hsp90 mutants was determined. Our results showed that HSP90 affected the asymmetrical distribution of PIN1 in plasma membranes and influenced its expression in prompt cell niches. Depletion of HSP90 distorted polar distribution of auxin, as the acropetal auxin transport was highly affected, leading to impaired root gravitropism and lateral root formation. The essential role of the HSP90 in auxin homeostasis was profoundly evident from early development, as HSP90 depletion affected embryo development and the pattern formation of veins in cotyledons. Our data suggest that the HSP90-mediated distribution of PIN1 modulates auxin distribution and thereby auxin signaling to properly promote plant development.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is involved in plant growth and various stress responses via regulating protein homeostasis. Autophagy keeps cellular homeostasis by recycling the components of cellular cytoplasmic constituents. Although they have similar effects on cellular protein homeostasis, the direct association between HSP90 and autophagy signaling remains unclear in plants, especially in tropical crops. In this study, the correlation between HSP90 and autophagy signaling was systematically analyzed by protein-protein interaction in cassava, one of the most important economy fruit in tropic. In addition, their effects on plant disease response and underlying mechanisms in cassava were investigated by functional genomics and genetic phenotype assay. The potential MeHSP90.9-MeSGT1-MeRAR1 chaperone complex interacts with MeATGs and subsequently triggers autophagy signaling, conferring improved disease resistance to cassava bacterial blight (CBB). On the contrary, HSP90 inhibitor and autophagy inhibitor decreased disease resistance against CBB in cassava, and autophagy may be involved in the potential MeHSP90.9-MeSGT1-MeRAR1 chaperone complex-mediated multiple immune responses. This study highlights the precise modulation of autophagy signaling by potential MeHSP90.9-MeSGT1-MeRAR1 chaperone complex in autophagy-mediated disease resistance to CBB.

Abstract
The YODA (YDA) kinase pathway is intimately associated with the control of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) embryo development, but little is known regarding its regulators. Using genetic analysis, HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 90 (HSP90) proteins emerge as potent regulators of YDA in the process of embryo development and patterning. This study is focused on the characterization and quantification of early embryonal traits of single and double hsp90 and yda mutants. HSP90s genetic interactions with YDA affected the downstream signaling pathway to control the development of both basal and apical cell lineage of embryo. Our results demonstrate that the spatiotemporal expression of WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX 8 (WOX8) and WOX2 is changed when function of HSP90s or YDA is impaired, suggesting their essential role in the cell fate determination and possible link to auxin signaling during early embryo development. Hence, HSP90s together with YDA signaling cascade affect transcriptional networks shaping the early embryo development.

Abstract
The Heat shock proteins 90 family plays pivotal roles in root growth and plant development. Its isoforms have been identified in several plant species with transcripts presents in almost all stages of plant growth. However, its functional relevance has not been completely established. Therefore, in this study, we provide evidence about the role of SlHSP90.2 in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) root development. Using tomato cultivars with differing root phenotypes, we have shown that SlHSP90.2 transcripts are in accordance with root architecture, i.e. high rooting cultivars had more expression of SlHSP90.2 as compared to low rooting cultivars. Moreover, overexpression of SlHSP90.2 gene in transgenic tomato plants showed significant increase in root biomass and architecture, as evident from the analysis of fresh and dry weights of root and shoot samples, primary root length and length and number of lateral roots. The transgenic lines are also more tolerant to salinity and drought stresses. The results of the present study suggest that genetic manipulation of HSP90.2 homologs in other crops can offer promising leads to develop plant with better root biomass and architecture and improved agronomics traits, like better water and mineral absorption, salinity and drought tolerance potential.

Abstract
Chloroplast stromal factors involved in regulating thylakoid protein targeting are poorly understood. We previously reported that in Arabidopsis thaliana, the stromal-localized chaperone HSP90C (plastid heat shock protein 90) interacted with the nuclear-encoded thylakoid lumen protein PsbO1 (PSII subunit O isoform 1) and suggested a role for HSP90C in aiding PsbO1 thylakoid targeting. Using in organello transport assays, particularly with model substrates naturally expressed in stroma, we showed that light, exogenous ATP, and HSP90C activity were required for Sec-dependent transport of green fluorescent protein (GFP) led by the PsbO1 thylakoid targeting sequence. Using a previously identified PsbO1T200A mutant, we provided evidence that a stronger interaction between HSP90C and PsbO1 better facilitated its stroma-thylakoid trafficking. We also demonstrated that SecY1, the channel protein of the thylakoid SEC translocase, specifically interacted with HSP90C in vivo. Inhibition of the chaperone ATPase activity suppressed the association of the PsbO1GFP-HSP90C complex with SecY1. Together with analyzing the expression and accumulation of a few other thylakoid proteins that utilize the SRP, TAT, or SEC translocation pathways, we propose a model in which HSP90C forms a guiding complex that interacts with thylakoid protein precursors and assists in their specific targeting to the thylakoid SEC translocon.

Abstract
Stomatal development is tightly connected with the overall plant growth, while changes in environmental conditions, like elevated temperature, affect negatively stomatal formation. Stomatal ontogenesis follows a well-defined series of cell developmental transitions in the cotyledon and leaf epidermis that finally lead to the production of mature stomata. YODA signaling cascade regulates stomatal development mainly through the phosphorylation and inactivation of SPEECHLESS (SPCH) transcription factor, while HSP90 chaperones have a central role in the regulation of YODA cascade. Here, we report that acute heat stress affects negatively stomatal differentiation, leads to high phosphorylation levels of MPK3 and MPK6, and alters the expression of SPCH and MUTE transcription factors. Genetic depletion of HSP90 leads to decreased stomatal differentiation rates. Thus, HSP90 chaperones safeguard the completion of distinct stomatal differentiation steps depending on these two transcription factors under normal and heat stress conditions.

Abstract
Cytokinin is a phytohormone involved in the regulation of diverse developmental and physiological processes in plants. Its potential in biotechnology and for development of higher-yield and more resilient plants has been recognized, yet the molecular mechanisms behind its action are far from understood. In this report, the roots of barley seedlings were explored as a new source to reveal as yet unknown cytokinin-responsive proteins for crop improvement. Here we found significant differences reproducibly observed for 178 proteins, for which some of the revealed cytokinin-responsive pathways were confirmed in metabolome analysis, including alterations phenylpropanoid pathway, amino acid biosynthesis and ROS metabolism. Bioinformatics analysis indicated a significant overlap between cytokinin response and response to abiotic stress. This was confirmed by comparing proteome and metabolome profiles in response to drought, salinity or a period of temperature stress. The results illustrate complex abiotic stress response in the early development of model crop plant and confirm an extensive crosstalk between plant hormone cytokinin and response to temperature stimuli, water availability or salinity stress.
