PLANT COMMUNICATIONS 2024; 5:100852. [PMID: 38409783 DOI: 10.1016/j.xplc.2024.100852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
Climate change is resulting in more frequent and rapidly changing temperatures at both extremes that severely affect the growth and production of plants, particularly crops. Oxidative stress caused by high temperatures is one of the most damaging factors for plants. However, the role of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in modulating plant thermotolerance is largely unknown, and the regulation of photorespiration essential for C3 species remains to be fully clarified. Here, we report that heat stress promotes H2O2 accumulation in chloroplasts and that H2O2 stimulates sulfenylation of the chloroplast-localized photorespiratory enzyme 2-phosphoglycolate phosphatase 1 (PGLP1) at cysteine 86, inhibiting its activity and promoting the accumulation of the toxic metabolite 2-phosphoglycolate. We also demonstrate that PGLP1 has a positive function in plant thermotolerance, as PGLP1 antisense lines have greater heat sensitivity and PGLP1-overexpressing plants have higher heat-stress tolerance than the wild type. Together, our results demonstrate that heat-induced H2O2 in chloroplasts sulfenylates and inhibits PGLP1 to modulate plant thermotolerance. Furthermore, targeting CATALASE2 to chloroplasts can largely prevent the heat-induced overaccumulation of H2O2 and the sulfenylation of PGLP1, thus conferring thermotolerance without a plant growth penalty. These findings reveal that heat-induced H2O2 in chloroplasts is important for heat-caused plant damage.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:169392. [PMID: 38104812 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is frequently detected in agricultural soils and can be accumulated by crops, causing phytotoxicities and food safety concerns. However, the molecular basis of its phytotoxicity and phytoaccumulation is hardly known. Here, we analyzed physiological and molecular responses of choysum (Brassica parachinensis) to CIP stress by comparing low CIP accumulation variety (LAV) and high accumulation variety (HAV). Results showed that the LAV suffered more severe inhibition of growth and photosynthesis than the HAV, exhibiting a lower tolerance to CIP toxicity. Integrated transcriptome and proteome analyses suggested that more differentially expressed genes/proteins (DEGs/DEPs) involved in basic metabolic processes were downregulated to a larger extent in the LAV, explaining its lower CIP tolerance at molecular level. By contrast, more DEGs/DEPs involved in defense responses were upregulated to a larger extent in the HAV, showing the molecular basis of its stronger CIP tolerance. Further, a CIP phytotoxicity-responsive molecular network was constructed for the two varieties to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the variety-specific CIP tolerance and accumulation. The results present the first comprehensive molecular profile of plant response to CIP stress for molecular-assisted breeding to improve CIP tolerance and minimize CIP accumulation in crops.

Enhancing the transformation of carbon and nitrogen organics to humus in composting: Biotic and abiotic synergy mediated by mineral material. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 393:130126.

Abstract
To investigate the conversion of carbon and nitrogen organic matter to humus mediated by mineral material additives through biotic and abiotic pathways, three chicken manure composting experiments were conducted using calcium superphosphate (CS) and fly ash (FA). Results showed that CS and FA promoted carbon and nitrogen organic degradation and improved compost maturity. The ratio of humic acid-like to fulvic acid-like substances for FA (30) was significantly higher than for control (18) and CS (13). Excitation-emission-matrix spectra and parallel factor analysis identified a higher transformation of protein-like components into humic-like components in FA. Network analysis showed that CS improved compost maturity by promoting the rapid conversion of humus precursors to humus, while FA increased the richness and diversity of the microbial community, such as Chloroflexi, the unique phylum in FA. Overall, CS and FA facilitated the humification process through abiotic and biotic pathways, and FA had better humification performance.

Abstract
Photorespiration, an essential metabolic component, is a classic example of interactions between the intracellular compartments of a plant cell: the chloroplast, peroxisome, mitochondria, and cytoplasm. The photorespiratory pathway is often modulated by abiotic stress and is considered an adaptive response. Monitoring the patterns of key enzymes located in different subcellular components would be an ideal approach to assessing the modulation of the photorespiratory metabolism under abiotic stress. This chapter describes the procedures for assaying several individual enzyme activities of key photorespiratory enzymes and evaluating their response to oxidative/photooxidative stress. It is essential to ascertain the presence of stress in the experimental material. Therefore, procedures for typical abiotic stress induction in leaves by highlighting without or with menadione (an oxidant that targets mitochondria) are also included.

Abstract
The photorespiratory repair pathway (photorespiration in short) was set up from ancient metabolic modules about three billion years ago in cyanobacteria, the later ancestors of chloroplasts. These prokaryotes developed the capacity for oxygenic photosynthesis, i.e. the use of water as a source of electrons and protons (with O2 as a by-product) for the sunlight-driven synthesis of ATP and NADPH for CO2 fixation in the Calvin cycle. However, the CO2-binding enzyme, ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (known under the acronym Rubisco), is not absolutely selective for CO2 and can also use O2 in a side reaction. It then produces 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG), the accumulation of which would inhibit and potentially stop the Calvin cycle and subsequently photosynthetic electron transport. Photorespiration removes the 2-PG and in this way prevents oxygenic photosynthesis from poisoning itself. In plants, the core of photorespiration consists of ten enzymes distributed over three different types of organelles, requiring interorganellar transport and interaction with several auxiliary enzymes. It goes together with the release and to some extent loss of freshly fixed CO2. This disadvantageous feature can be suppressed by CO2-concentrating mechanisms, such as those that evolved in C4 plants thirty million years ago, which enhance CO2 fixation and reduce 2PG synthesis. Photorespiration itself provided a pioneer variant of such mechanisms in the predecessors of C4 plants, C3-C4 intermediate plants. This article is a review and update particularly on the enzyme components of plant photorespiration and their catalytic mechanisms, on the interaction of photorespiration with other metabolism and on its impact on the evolution of photosynthesis. This focus was chosen because a better knowledge of the enzymes involved and how they are embedded in overall plant metabolism can facilitate the targeted use of the now highly advanced methods of metabolic network modelling and flux analysis. Understanding photorespiration more than before as a process that enables, rather than reduces, plant photosynthesis, will help develop rational strategies for crop improvement.
