Abstract
Pyrethrins are natural insecticides biosynthesised by Asteraceae plants, such as Tanacetum cinerariifolium and have a long history, dating back to ancient times. Pyrethrins are often used as low-persistence and safe insecticides to control household, horticultural, and agricultural insect pests. Despite its long history of use, pyrethrin biosynthesis remains a mystery, presenting a significant opportunity to improve yields and meet the growing demand for organic agriculture. To achieve this, both genetic modification and non-genetic methods, such as chemical activation and priming, are indispensable. Plants use pyrethrins as a defence against herbivores, but pyrethrin biosynthesis pathways are shared with plant hormones and signal molecules. Hence, the insight that pyrethrins may play broader roles than those traditionally expected is invaluable to advance the basic and applied sciences of pyrethrins.

Dougherty K, Prashar T, Hudak KA. Improved pokeweed genome assembly and early gene expression changes in response to jasmonic acid. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 24:801. [PMID: 39179987 PMCID: PMC11344361 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-024-05446-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Jasmonic acid (JA) is a phytohormone involved in regulating responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Although the JA pathway is well characterized in model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, less is known about many non-model plants. Phytolacca americana (pokeweed) is native to eastern North Americana and is resilient to environmental stress. The goal of this study was to produce a publicly available pokeweed genome assembly and annotations and use this resource to determine how early response to JA changes gene expression, with particular focus on genes involved in defense. RESULTS We assembled the pokeweed genome de novo from approximately 30 Gb of PacBio Hifi long reads and achieved an NG50 of ~ 13.2 Mb and a minimum 93.9% complete BUSCO score for gene annotations. With this reference, we investigated the early changes in pokeweed gene expression following JA treatment. Approximately 5,100 genes were differentially expressed during the 0-6 h time course with almost equal number of genes with increased and decreased transcript levels. Cluster and gene ontology analyses indicated the downregulation of genes associated with photosynthesis and upregulation of genes involved in hormone signaling and defense. We identified orthologues of key transcription factors and constructed the first JA gene response network integrated with our transcriptomic data from orthologues of Arabidopsis genes. We discovered that pokeweed did not use leaf senescence as a means of reallocating resources during stress; rather, most secondary metabolite synthesis genes were constitutively expressed, suggesting that pokeweed directs its resources for survival over the long term. In addition, pokeweed synthesizes several RNA N-glycosylases hypothesized to function in defense, each with unique expression profiles in response to JA. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation of the early response of pokeweed to JA illustrates patterns of gene expression involved in defence and stress tolerance. Pokeweed provides insight into the defense mechanisms of plants beyond those observed in research models and crops, and further study may yield novel approaches to improving the resilience of plants to environmental changes. Our assembled pokeweed genome is the first within the taxonomic family Phytolaccaceae to be publicly available for continued research.

Abstract
Plants cannot move, so they have evolved sophisticated strategies that integrate the external environmental cues and internal signaling networks for adaptation to dynamic circumstances. Cis-(+)-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) and 2,3-dinor-OPDA (dn-OPDA), the cyclopentenone-containing oxylipins, ubiquitously occur in the green lineage to orchestrate a series of growth and developmental processes as well as various stress and defense responses. OPDA/dn-OPDA are precursors of jasmonate (JA) biosynthesis in vascular plants. Dn-OPDA and its isomer also serve as bioactive JAs perceived by the coronatine insensitive 1/jasmonate ZIM-domain (COI1/JAZ) co-receptor complex in bryophytes and lycophytes. In addition, OPDA/dn-OPDA display signaling activities independent of (+)-7-iso-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) and COI1 in both vascular and non-vascular plants. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the biosynthesis, metabolism, and signaling of OPDA/dn-OPDA, and provide an overview of the evolution of OPDA/dn-OPDA actions to obtain a deeper understanding of the pervasive role of OPDA/dn-OPDA in the plant life cycle.

Abstract
The present work reports the detection and cloning of a new CYP74 clan gene of the European lancelet (Branchiostoma lanceolatum) and the biochemical characterization of the recombinant protein CYP440A19. CYP440A19 possessed epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS) activity towards the 13-hydroperoxides of linoleic and α-linolenic acids, which were converted into oxiranylcarbinols, i.e., (11S,12R,13S)-11-hydroxy-12,13-epoxy derivatives. The conversion of 9-hydroperoxides produced distinct products. Linoleic acid 9(S)-hydroperoxide (9-HPOD) was mainly converted into 9,14-diol (10E,12E)-9,14-dihydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid and macrolactone 9(S),10(R)-epoxy-11(E)-octadecen-13(S)-olide. In addition, (8Z)-colneleic acid was formed. Brief incubations of the enzyme with 9-HPOD in a biphasic system of hexane-water enabled the isolation of the short-lived 9,10-epoxydiene (9S,10R,11E,13E)-9,10-epoxy-11,13-octadecadienoic acid. The structure and stereochemistry of the epoxyalcohols, macrolactone, (8Z)-colneleic acid (Me), and 9,10-epoxydiene (Me) were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 1H-1H-COSY, 1H-13C-HSQC, and 1H-13C-HMBC spectroscopy. Macrolactone and cis-9,10-epoxydiene are novel products. The 9-hydroperoxide of α-linolenic acid was mainly converted into macrolactone 9(S),10(R)-epoxy-11(E),15(Z)-octadecadiene-13(S)-olide and a minority of divinyl ethers, particularly (8Z)-colnelenic acid. The versatility of enzyme catalysis, as well as the diversity of CYP74s and other enzymes involved in oxylipin biosynthesis, demonstrates the complexity of the lipoxygenase pathway in lancelets.

PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 224:114151. [PMID: 38768880 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114151] [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: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
The plant lipoxygenase cascade is a source of various regulatory oxylipins that play a role in cell signalling, stress adaptation, and immune response. Recently, we detected an unprecedented 16(S)-lipoxygenase, CsLOX3, in the leaves and fruit pericarp of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). In the present work, an array of products biosynthesized through the conversions of α-linolenic acid 16-hydroperoxide (16-HPOT) was detected. Firstly, a prominent 15-hydroxy-9,12-pentadecadienoic acid (Me/TMS) was detected, the product of hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) chain cleavage of 16-HPOT and further reduction of aldehyde 15-oxo-9,12-pentadecadienoic acid to alcohol. Besides, the presence of dicarboxylic acid, 3,6-pentadecadiene-1,15-dioic acid, was deduced from the detection of its catalytic hydrogenation product, pentadecane-1,15-dioic acid. Finally, 12,15-dihydroxypentadecanoic acid (Me/TMS) was detected amongst the hydrogenated products, thus indicating the presence of the parent 12,15-dihydroxy-9,13-pentadecadienoic acid. To confirm the proposed HPL chain cleavage, the 16(S)-HPOT was prepared and incubated with the recombinant cucumber HPL CYP74B6 enzyme. The CYP74B6 possessed high activity towards 16-HPOT. Chain cleavage yields the (9Z,12Z)-15-oxo-9,12-pentadecadienoic acid, undergoing a spontaneous isomerization into (9Z,13E)-15-oxo-9,13-pentadecadienoic acid. Thus, the cucumber plants as well as the recombinant cucumber HPL CYP74B6 possessed unprecedented 16-HPL activity, cleaving 16-HPOT into a C15 fragment, 15-oxo-9,12-pentadecadienoic acid, and a complementary volatile C3 fragment, propionic aldehyde. The 16-LOX/16-HPL route of oxylipin biosynthesis presents a novel facet of the plant LOX pathway.

Abstract
Plants and algae play a crucial role in the earth's ecosystems. Through photosynthesis they convert light energy into chemical energy, capture CO2 and produce oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds. Photosynthetic organisms are primary producers and synthesize the essential omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. They have also unique and highly diverse complex lipids, such as glycolipids, phospholipids, triglycerides, sphingolipids and phytosterols, with nutritional and health benefits. Plant and algal lipids are useful in food, feed, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical industries but also for green chemistry and bioenergy. The analysis of plant and algal lipidomes represents a significant challenge due to the intricate and diverse nature of their composition, as well as their plasticity under changing environmental conditions. Optimization of analytical tools is crucial for an in-depth exploration of the lipidome of plants and algae. This review highlights how lipidomics analytical tools can be used to establish a complete mapping of plant and algal lipidomes. Acquiring this knowledge will pave the way for the use of plants and algae as sources of tailored lipids for both industrial and environmental applications. This aligns with the main challenges for society, upholding the natural resources of our planet and respecting their limits.

Abstract
Orchids and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) plants evolved independently and have different structures and fungal partners, but they both facilitate nutrient uptake. Orchid mycorrhiza (OM) supports orchid seed germination, but unlike AM, its role in disease resistance of mature plants is largely unknown. Here, we examined whether OM induces systemic disease resistance against a necrotrophic pathogen in a similar fashion to AM. We investigated the priming effect of mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on resistance of a terrestrial orchid, Bletilla striata, to soft rot caused by Dickeya fangzhongdai. We found that root colonization by a compatible OM fungus primed B. striata seedlings and induced systemic resistance against the infection. Transcriptome analysis showed that priming was mediated by the downregulation of jasmonate and ethylene pathways and that these pathways are upregulated once infection occurs. Comparison with the reported transcriptome of AM fungus-colonized rice leaves revealed similar mechanisms in B. striata and in rice. These findings highlight a novel aspect of commonality between OM and AM plants in terms of induced systemic resistance.

Abstract
cis-(+)-12-Oxo-phytodienoic acid (cis-OPDA) is a significant plant oxylipin, known as a biosynthetic precursor of the plant hormone jasmonoyl-l-isoleucine (JA-Ile), and a bioactive substance in plant environmental stresses. A recent study showed that a plant dioxygenase, Jasmonate Induced Dioxygenase 1 (JID1), converts cis-OPDA into an unidentified metabolite termed "modified-OPDA (mo-OPDA)" in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quad mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) experiment, the chemical identity of "mo-OPDA" was demonstrated and identified as a conjugate between cis-OPDA and 2-mercaptoethanol (cis-OPDA-2ME), an artifact produced by Michael addition during the JID1 digestion of cis-OPDA. However, previous reports demonstrated a decreased accumulation of cis-OPDA in the JID1-OE line, suggesting the existence of an unknown JID1-mediated mechanism regulating the level of cis-OPDA in A. thaliana.

Abstract
Significant progress has been recently made in our understanding of the evolution of jasmonates biosynthesis and signaling. The bioactive jasmonate activating COI1-JAZ co-receptor differs in bryophytes and vascular plants. Dinor-iso-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (dn-iso-OPDA) is the bioactive hormone in bryophytes and lycophytes. However, further studies showed that the full activation of hormone signaling in Marchantia polymorpha requires additional unidentified hormones. Δ4-dn-OPDAs were previously identified as novel bioactive jasmonates in M. polymorpha. In this paper, we describe the major bioactive isomer of Δ4-dn-OPDAs as Δ4-dn-iso-OPDA through chemical synthesis, receptor binding assay, and biological activity in M. polymorpha. In addition, we disclosed that Δ4-dn-cis-OPDA is a biosynthetic precursor of Δ4-dn-iso-OPDA. We demonstrated that in planta cis-to-iso conversion of Δ4-dn-cis-OPDA occurs in the biosynthesis of Δ4-dn-iso-OPDA, defining a key biosynthetic step in the chemical evolution of hormone structure. We predict that these findings will facilitate further understanding of the molecular evolution of plant hormone signaling.

[PMID: 38750708 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114141] [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: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
(3R,7S)-Jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is a plant hormone that regulates plant defense responses and other physiological functions. The mechanism of attenuation of JA-Ile signaling in the plant body is essential because prolonged JA-Ile signaling can be detrimental to plant survival. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, CYP94B1/B3/C1, inactivate JA-Ile by converting it into 12-hydroxy-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (12-OH-JA-Ile), and CYP94C1 converts 12-OH-JA-Ile into 12-carboxy-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (12-COOH-JA-Ile). In the present study, we aimed to identify the cytochrome P450 monooxygenases involved in the catabolic pathway of JA-Ile in tomato leaves. Based on a gene expression screening of SlCYP94 subfamily monooxygenases using qPCR and the time-course of JA-Ile catabolism, we identified SlCYP94B18 and SlCYP94B19 expressed in tomato leaves as candidate monooxygenases catalyzing the two-step catabolism of JA-Ile. An in vitro enzymatic assay using a yeast expression system revealed that these enzymes efficiently converted JA-Ile to 12-OH-JA-Ile, and then to 12-COOH-JA-Ile. SlCYP94B18 and SlCYP94B19 also catalyzed the oxidative catabolism of several JA-amino acid conjugates (JA-AAs), JA-Leu and JA-Val, in tomatoes. These results suggest that SlCYP94B18 and SlCYP94B19 plays a role in the two-step oxidation of JA-AAs, suggesting their broad involvement in regulating jasmonate signaling in tomatoes. Our results contribute to a deeper understanding of jasmonate signaling in tomatoes and may help to improve tomato cultivation and quality.

Abstract
The evolutionary and ecological success of spermatophytes is intrinsically linked to the seed habit, which provides a protective environment for the initial development of the new generation. This environment includes an ephemeral nourishing tissue that supports embryo growth. In gymnosperms this tissue originates from the asexual proliferation of the maternal megagametophyte, while in angiosperms it is a product of fertilization, and is called the endosperm. The emergence of these nourishing tissues is of profound evolutionary value, and they are also food staples for most of the world's population. Here, using Orthofinder to infer orthologue genes among newly generated and previously published datasets, we provide a comparative transcriptomic analysis of seed nourishing tissues from species of several angiosperm clades, including those of early diverging lineages, as well as of one gymnosperm. Our results show that, although the structure and composition of seed nourishing tissues has seen significant divergence along evolution, there are signatures that are conserved throughout the phylogeny. Conversely, we identified processes that are specific to species within the clades studied, and thus illustrate their functional divergence. With this, we aimed to provide a foundation for future studies on the evolutionary history of seed nourishing structures, as well as a resource for gene discovery in future functional studies.

Abstract
Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is the main lipid constituent of thylakoids and a structural component of photosystems and photosynthesis-related proteo-lipid complexes in green tissues. Previously reported changes in MGDG abundance upon stress treatments are hypothesized to reflect mobilization of MGDG-based polyunsaturated lipid intermediates to maintain extraplastidial membrane integrity. While exchange of lipid intermediates between compartmental membranes is well documented, physiological consequences of mobilizing an essential thylakoid lipid, such as MGDG, for an alternative purpose are not well understood. Arabidopsis seedlings exposed to mild (50 mM) salt treatment displayed significantly increased abundance of both MGDG and the extraplastidial lipid, phosphatidylcholine (PC). Interestingly, similar increases in MGDG and PC were observed in Arabidopsis fad3 mutant seedlings defective in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized linolenic acid formation, in which compensatory plastid-to-ER-directed mobilization of linolenic acid-containing intermediates takes place. The postulated (salt) or evident (fad3) plastid-ER exchange of intermediates concurred with altered thylakoid function according to parameters of photosynthetic performance. While salt treatment of wild-type seedlings inhibited photosynthetic parameters in a dose-dependent manner, interestingly, untreated fad3 mutants did not show overall reduced photosynthetic quantum yield. By contrast, we observed a reduction specifically of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) under high light, representing only part of observed salt effects. The decreased NPQ in the fad3 mutant was accompanied by reduced activity of the xanthophyll cycle, leading to a reduced concentration of the NPQ-effective pigment zeaxanthin. The findings suggest that altered ER-located fatty acid unsaturation and ensuing inter-organellar compensation impacts on the function of specific thylakoid enzymes, rather than globally affecting thylakoid function.

Abstract
Wounding caused by insects or abiotic factors such as wind and hail can cause severe stress for plants. Intrigued by the observation that wounding induces expression of genes involved in surface wax synthesis in a jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile)-independent manner, the role of wax biosynthesis and respective genes upon wounding was investigated. Wax, a lipid-based barrier, protects plants both from environmental threats and from an uncontrolled loss of water. Its biosynthesis is described to be regulated by abscisic acid (ABA), whereas the main wound signal is the hormone JA-Ile. We show in this study that genes coding for enzymes of surface wax synthesis are induced upon wounding in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves in a JA-Ile-independent but an ABA-dependent manner. Furthermore, the ABA-dependent transcription factor MYB96 is a key regulator of wax biosynthesis upon wounding. On the metabolite level, wound-induced wax accumulation is strongly reduced in JA-Ile-deficient plants, but this induction is only slightly decreased in ABA-reduced plants. To further analyze the ABA-dependent wound response, we conducted wounding experiments in high humidity. They show that high humidity prevents the wound-induced wax accumulation in A. thaliana leaves. Together the data presented in this study show that wound-induced wax accumulation is JA-Ile-dependent on the metabolite level, but the expression of genes coding for enzymes of wax synthesis is regulated by ABA.

Abstract
Salinity stress poses a significant threat to crop productivity worldwide, necessitating effective mitigation strategies. This study investigated the phytochemical composition and potential of grape seed extract (GSE) to mitigate salinity stress effects on faba bean plants. GC-MS analysis revealed several bioactive components in GSE, predominantly fatty acids. GSE was rich in essential nutrients and possessed a high antioxidant capacity. After 14 days of germination, GSE was applied as a foliar spray at different concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 g/L) to mitigate the negative effects of salt stress (150 mM NaCl) on faba bean plants. Foliar application of 2-8 g/L GSE significantly enhanced growth parameters such as shoot length, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight of salt-stressed bean plants compared to the control. The Fv/Fm ratio, indicating photosynthetic activity, also improved with GSE treatment under salinity stress compared to the control. GSE effectively alleviated the oxidative stress induced by salinity, reducing malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, praline, and glycine betaine levels. Total soluble proteins, amino acids, and sugars were enhanced in GSE-treated, salt-stressed plants. GSE treatment under salinity stress modulated the total antioxidant capacity, antioxidant responses, and enzyme activities such as peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and polyphenol oxidase compared to salt-stressed plants. Gene expression analysis revealed GSE (6 g/L) upregulated photosynthesis (chlorophyll a/b-binding protein of LHCII type 1-like (Lhcb1) and ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase large chain-like (RbcL)) and carbohydrate metabolism (cell wall invertase I (CWINV1) genes) while downregulating stress response genes (ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) and ethylene-responsive transcription factor 1 (ERF1)) in salt-stressed bean plants. The study demonstrates GSE's usefulness in mitigating salinity stress effects on bean plants by modulating growth, physiology, and gene expression patterns, highlighting its potential as a natural approach to enhance salt tolerance.

Abstract
Jasmonic acid (JA) plays crucial functions in plant stress response, and the synergistic interaction between JA and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling is implicated to help plants adapt to environmental challenges, whereas the underlying molecular mechanism still needs to be revealed. Here, we report that OsJAZ10, a repressor in the JA signaling, represses rice drought tolerance via inhibition of JA and ABA biosynthesis. Function loss of OsJAZ10 markedly enhances, while overexpression of OsJAZ10ΔJas reduces rice drought tolerance. The osjaz10 mutant is more sensitive to exogenous ABA and MeJA, and produces higher levels of ABA and JA after drought treatment, indicating OsJAZ10 represses the biosynthesis of these two hormones. Mechanistic study demonstrated that OsJAZ10 physically interacts with OsMYC2. Transient transcriptional regulation assays showed that OsMYC2 activates the expression of ABA-biosynthetic gene OsNCED2, JA-biosynthetic gene OsAOC, and drought-responsive genes OsRAB21 and OsLEA3, while OsJAZ10 prevents OsMYC2 transactivation of these genes. Further, the electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) confirmed that OsMYC2 directly binds to the promoters of OsNCED2 and OsRAB21. Electrical activity has been proposed to activate JA biosynthesis. Interestingly, OsJAZ10 inhibits the propagation of osmotic stress-elicited systemic electrical signals, indicated by the significantly increased PEG-elicited slow wave potentials (SWPs) in osjaz10 mutant, which is in accordance with the elevated JA levels. Collectively, our findings establish that OsJAZ10 functions as a negative regulator in rice drought tolerance by repressing JA and ABA biosynthesis, and reveal an important mechanism that plants integrate electrical events with hormone signaling to enhance the adaption to environmental stress.

Abstract
Fatty acid unsaturation levels affect chloroplast function and plant acclimation to environmental cues. However, the regulatory mechanism(s) controlling fatty acid unsaturation in thylakoid lipids is poorly understood. Here, we have investigated the connection between chloroplast redox homeostasis and lipid metabolism by focusing on 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prxs), which play a central role in balancing the redox state within the organelle. The chloroplast redox network relies on NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC), which controls the redox balance of 2-Cys Prxs to maintain the reductive activity of redox-regulated enzymes. Our results show that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants deficient in 2-Cys Prxs contain decreased levels of trienoic fatty acids, mainly in chloroplast lipids, indicating that these enzymes contribute to thylakoid membrane lipids unsaturation. This function of 2-Cys Prxs is independent of NTRC, the main reductant of these enzymes, hence 2-Cys Prxs operates beyond the classic chloroplast regulatory redox system. Moreover, the effect of 2-Cys Prxs on lipid metabolism is primarily exerted through the prokaryotic pathway of glycerolipid biosynthesis and fatty acid desaturase 8 (FAD8). While 2-Cys Prxs and FAD8 interact in leaf membranes as components of a large protein complex, the levels of FAD8 were markedly decreased when FAD8 is overexpressed in 2-Cys Prxs-deficient mutant backgrounds. These findings reveal a function for 2-Cys Prxs, possibly acting as a scaffold protein, affecting the unsaturation degree of chloroplast membranes.

Abstract
Aspergillus ochraceus is the traditional ochratoxin A (OTA)-producing fungus with density-dependent behaviors, which is known as quorum sensing (QS) that is mediated by signaling molecules. Individual cells trend to adapt environmental changes in a "whole" flora through communications, allowing fungus to occupy an important ecological niche. Signals perception, transmission, and feedback are all rely on a signal network that constituted by membrane receptors and intracellular effectors. However, the interference of density information in signal transduction, which regulates most life activities of Aspergillus, have yet to be elucidated. Here we show that the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) to cAMP pathway is responsible for transmitting density information, and regulates the key point in life cycle of A. ochraceus. Firstly, the quorum sensing phenomenon of A. ochraceus is confirmed, and identified the density threshold is 103 spores/mL, which represents the low density that produces the most OTA in a series quorum density. Moreover, the GprC that classified as sugar sensor, and intracellular adenylate cyclase (AcyA)-cAMP-PKA pathway that in response to ligands glucose and HODEs are verified. Furthermore, GprC and AcyA regulate the primary metabolism as well as secondary metabolism, and further affects the growth of A. ochraceus during the entire life cycle. These studies highlight a crucial G protein signaling pathway for cell communication that is mediated by carbohydrate and oxylipins, and clarified a comprehensive effect of fungal development, which include the direct gene regulation and indirect substrate or energy supply. Our work revealed more signal molecules that mediated density information and connected effects on important adaptive behaviors of Aspergillus ochraceus, hoping to achieve comprehensive prevention and control of mycotoxin pollution from interrupting cell communication.

Molecular responses of agroinfiltrated Nicotiana benthamiana leaves expressing suppressor of silencing P19 and influenza virus-like particles. PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL 2024; 22:1078-1100. [PMID: 38041470 PMCID: PMC11022802 DOI: 10.1111/pbi.14247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
The production of influenza vaccines in plants is achieved through transient expression of viral hemagglutinins (HAs), a process mediated by the bacterial vector Agrobacterium tumefaciens. HA proteins are then produced and matured through the secretory pathway of plant cells, before being trafficked to the plasma membrane where they induce formation of virus-like particles (VLPs). Production of VLPs unavoidably impacts plant cells, as do viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) that are co-expressed to increase recombinant protein yields. However, little information is available on host molecular responses to foreign protein expression. This work provides a comprehensive overview of molecular changes occurring in Nicotiana benthamiana leaf cells transiently expressing the VSR P19, or co-expressing P19 and an influenza HA. Our data identifies general responses to Agrobacterium-mediated expression of foreign proteins, including shutdown of chloroplast gene expression, activation of oxidative stress responses and reinforcement of the plant cell wall through lignification. Our results also indicate that P19 expression promotes salicylic acid (SA) signalling, a process dampened by co-expression of the HA protein. While reducing P19 level, HA expression also induces specific signatures, with effects on lipid metabolism, lipid distribution within membranes and oxylipin-related signalling. When producing VLPs, dampening of P19 responses thus likely results from lower expression of the VSR, crosstalk between SA and oxylipin pathways, or a combination of both outcomes. Consistent with the upregulation of oxidative stress responses, we finally show that reduction of oxidative stress damage through exogenous application of ascorbic acid improves plant biomass quality during production of VLPs.

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
Maize (Zea mays) production systems are heavily reliant on the provision of managed inputs such as fertilizers to maximize growth and yield. Hence, the effective use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is crucial to minimize the associated financial and environmental costs, as well as maximize yield. However, how to effectively utilize N inputs for increased grain yields remains a substantial challenge for maize growers that requires a deeper understanding of the underlying physiological responses to N fertilizer application. We report a multiscale investigation of five field-grown maize hybrids under low or high N supplementation regimes that includes the quantification of phenolic and prenyl-lipid compounds, cellular ultrastructural features, and gene expression traits at three developmental stages of growth. Our results reveal that maize perceives the lack of supplemented N as a stress and, when provided with additional N, will prolong vegetative growth. However, the manifestation of the stress and responses to N supplementation are highly hybrid-specific. Eight genes were differentially expressed in leaves in response to N supplementation in all tested hybrids and at all developmental stages. These genes represent potential biomarkers of N status and include two isoforms of Thiamine Thiazole Synthase involved in vitamin B1 biosynthesis. Our results uncover a detailed view of the physiological responses of maize hybrids to N supplementation in field conditions that provides insight into the interactions between management practices and the genetic diversity within maize.

Abstract
Jasmonic acid-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is a plant defence hormone whose cellular levels are elevated upon herbivory and regulate defence signalling. Despite their pivotal role, our understanding of the rapid cellular perception of bioactive JA-Ile is limited. This study identifies cell type-specific JA-Ile-induced Ca2+ signal and its role in self-amplification and plant elicitor peptide receptor (PEPR)-mediated signalling. Using the Ca2+ reporter, R-GECO1 in Arabidopsis, we have characterized a monophasic and sustained JA-Ile-dependent Ca2+ signature in leaf epidermal cells. The rapid Ca2+ signal is independent of positive feedback by the JA-Ile receptor, COI1 and the transporter, JAT1. Microarray analysis identified up-regulation of receptors, PEPR1 and PEPR2 upon JA-Ile treatment. The pepr1 pepr2 double mutant in R-GECO1 background exhibits impaired external JA-Ile induced Ca2+ cyt elevation and impacts the canonical JA-Ile responsive genes. JA responsive transcription factor, MYC2 binds to the G-Box motif of PEPR1 and PEPR2 promoter and activates their expression upon JA-Ile treatment and in myc2 mutant, this is reduced. External JA-Ile amplifies AtPep-PEPR pathway by increasing the AtPep precursor, PROPEP expression. Our work shows a previously unknown non-canonical PEPR-JA-Ile-Ca2+ -MYC2 signalling module through which plants sense JA-Ile rapidly to amplify both AtPep-PEPR and jasmonate signalling in undamaged cells.

Abstract
Bryophytes, known as poikilohydric plants, possess vegetative desiccation-tolerant (DT) ability to withstand water deficit stress. Consequently, they offer valuable genetic resources for enhancing resistance to water scarcity stress. In this research, we examined the physiological, phytohormonal, and transcriptomic changes in DT mosses Calohypnum plumiforme from two populations, with and without desiccation treatment. Comparative analysis revealed population differentiation at physiological, gene sequence, and expression levels. Under desiccation stress, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) showed significant increases, along with elevation of soluble sugars and proteins, consistent with the transcriptome changes. Notable activation of the bypass pathway of JA biosynthesis suggested their roles in compensating for JA accumulation. Furthermore, our analysis revealed significant correlations among phytohormones and DEGs in their respective signaling pathway, indicating potential complex interplays of hormones in C plumiforme. Protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) in the abscisic acid signaling pathway emerged as the pivotal hub in the phytohormone crosstalk regulation network. Overall, this study was one of the first comprehensive transcriptome analyses of moss C. plumiforme under slow desiccation rates, expanding our knowledge of bryophyte transcriptomes and shedding light on the gene regulatory network involved in response to desiccation, as well as the evolutionary processes of local adaptation across moss populations.

Abstract
Jasmonic acid (JA) is a crucial phytohormone that regulates plant immunity. The endogenous JA level is determined by the rates of its biosynthesis and catabolism in plants. The activation of JA biosynthesis has been well documented; however, how plants repress JA catabolism upon pathogen infection remains elusive. In this study, we identified and characterized Botrytis cinerea-induced F-box protein 1 (BFP1) in Arabidopsis. The expression of BFP1 was induced by B. cinerea in a JA signaling-dependent manner, and BFP1 protein was critical for plant defense against B. cinerea and plant response to JA. In addition, BFP1 overexpression increased plant defenses against broad-spectrum pathogens without fitness costs. Further experiments demonstrated that BFP1 interacts with and mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of jasmonic acid oxidases (JAOs, also known as jasmonate-induced oxygenases, JOXs), the enzymes that hydroxylate JA to 12OH-JA. Consistent with this, BFP1 affects the accumulation of JA and 12OH-JA during B. cinerea infection. Moreover, mutation of JAO2 complemented the phenotypes of the bfp1 mutant. Collectively, our results unveil a new mechanism used by plants to activate immune responses upon pathogen infection: suppressing JA catabolism.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous at relatively high concentrations by atmospheric deposition, and they are threatening to the environment. In this study, the toxicity of naphthalene on tall fescue and its potential responding mechanism was first studied by integrating approaches. Tall fescue seedlings were exposed to 0, 20, and 100 mg L-1 naphthalene in a hydroponic environment for 9 days, and toxic effects were observed by the studies of general physiological studies, chlorophyll fluorescence, and root morphology. Additionally, Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography - Electrospray Ionization - High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-HRMS) was used to depict metabolic profiles of tall fescue under different exposure durations of naphthalene, and the intrinsic molecular mechanism of tall fescue resistance to abiotic stresses. Tall fescue shoots were more sensitive to the toxicity of naphthalene than roots. Low-level exposure to naphthalene inhibited the electron transport from the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) to D1 protein in tall fescue shoots but induced the growth of roots. Naphthalene induced metabolic change of tall fescue roots in 12 h, and tall fescue roots maintained the level of sphingolipids after long-term exposure to naphthalene, which may play important roles in plant resistance to abiotic stresses.

Abstract
Metabolic pathway drift has been formulated as a general principle to help in the interpretation of comparative analyses between biosynthesis pathways. Indeed, such analyses often indicate substantial differences, even in widespread pathways that are sometimes believed to be conserved. Here, our purpose is to check how much this interpretation fits to empirical data gathered in the field of plant and algal biosynthesis pathways. After examining several examples representative of the diversity of lipid biosynthesis pathways, we explain why it is important to compare closely related species to gain a better understanding of this phenomenon. Furthermore, this comparative approach brings us to the question of how much biotic interactions are responsible for shaping this metabolic plasticity. We end up introducing some model systems that may be promising for further exploration of this question.

Abstract
JAZ proteins function as transcriptional regulators that form a jasmonic acid-isoleucine (JA-Ile) receptor complex with coronatine insensitive 1 (COI1) and regulate plant growth and development. These proteins also act as key mediators in signal transduction pathways that activate the defense-related genes. Herein, the role of OsJAZ4 in rice blast resistance, a severe disease, was examined. The mutation of OsJAZ4 revealed its significance in Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) resistance and the seed setting rate in rice. In addition, weaker M. oryzae-induced ROS production and expression of the defense genes OsO4g10010, OsWRKY45, OsNAC4, and OsPR3 was observed in osjaz4 compared to Nipponbare (NPB); also, the jasmonic acid (JA) and gibberellin4 (GA4) content was significantly lower in osjaz4 than in NPB. Moreover, osjaz4 exhibited a phenotype featuring a reduced seed setting rate. These observations highlight the involvement of OsJAZ4 in the regulation of JA and GA4 content, playing a positive role in regulating the rice blast resistance and seed setting rate.

Two distinct modes of action of molecular glues in the plant hormone co-receptor COI1-JAZ system. iScience 2024; 27:108625. [PMID: 38188528 PMCID: PMC10770490 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.108625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The plant hormone (3R, 7S)-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine ((3R, 7S)-JA-Ile) is perceived by the COI1-JAZ co-receptor in Arabidopsis thaliana, leading to the activation of gene expression for plant defense responses, growth, development, and other processes. Therefore, understanding the interaction between the COI1-JAZ co-receptor and its ligands is essential for the development of COI1-JAZ agonists and antagonists as potent chemical tools for regulating (3R, 7S)-JA-Ile signaling. This study demonstrated that COI1-JAZ has two independent modes of ligand perception using a differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) assay. (3R, 7S)-JA-Ile is perceived through a one-step model in which (3R, 7S)-JA-Ile causes protein-protein interaction between COI1 and JAZ. In contrast, coronatine (COR), a mimic of (3R, 7S)-JA-Ile, is perceived through a two-step model in which COR is first perceived by COI1 and then recruits JAZ to form the COI1-COR-JAZ complex. Our results demonstrate two distinct modes of action of molecular glues causing protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
Oxylipins are one of the most important classes of bioregulators, biosynthesized through the oxidative metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids in various aerobic organisms. Oxylipins are bioregulators that maintain homeostasis at the cellular and organismal levels. The most important oxylipins are mammalian eicosanoids and plant octadecanoids. In plants, the main source of oxylipins is the lipoxygenase cascade, the key enzymes of which are nonclassical cytochromes P450 of the CYP74 family, namely allene oxide synthases (AOSs), hydroperoxide lyases (HPLs), and divinyl ether synthases (DESs). The most well-studied plant oxylipins are jasmonates (AOS products) and traumatin and green leaf volatiles (HPL products), whereas other oxylipins remain outside of the focus of researchers' attention. Among them, there is a large group of epoxy hydroxy fatty acids (epoxyalcohols), whose biosynthesis has remained unclear for a long time. In 2008, the first epoxyalcohol synthase of lancelet Branchiostoma floridae, BfEAS (CYP440A1), was discovered. The present review collects data on EASs discovered after BfEAS and enzymes exhibiting EAS activity along with other catalytic activities. This review also presents the results of a study on the evolutionary processes possibly occurring within the P450 superfamily as a whole.

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
Plants can detect neighbouring plants through a reduction in the ratio between red and far-red light (R:FR). This provides a signal of plant-plant competition and induces rapid plant growth while inhibiting defence against biotic stress, two interlinked responses designated as the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS). Consequently, the SAS can influence plant-herbivore interactions that could cascade to higher trophic levels. However, little is known about how the expression of the SAS can influence tritrophic interactions. We investigated whether changes in R:FR affect the emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), and whether these changes influence the attraction of the zoophytophagous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus. We also studied how the expression of the SAS and subsequent inhibition of plant defences affects the reproduction of M. pygmaeus in both the presence and absence of the greenhouse whitefly (WF) (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) as arthropod prey. The results show that changes in R:FR have little effect on HIPV emissions and predator attraction. However, a reduction in R:FR leads to increased reproduction of both the predator and the WFs. We discuss that shade avoidance responses can increase the population development of M. pygmaeus through a combination of reduced plant defences and increased herbivore densities.

Abstract
Plant growth and survival in their natural environment require versatile mitigation of diverse threats. The task is especially challenging due to the largely unpredictable interaction of countless abiotic and biotic factors. To resist an unfavorable environment, plants have evolved diverse sensing, signaling, and adaptive molecular mechanisms. Recent stress studies have identified molecular elements like secondary messengers (ROS, Ca2+, etc.), hormones (ABA, JA, etc.), and signaling proteins (SnRK, MAPK, etc.). However, major gaps remain in understanding the interaction between these pathways, and in particular under conditions of stress combinations. Here, we highlight the challenge of defining "stress" in such complex natural scenarios. Therefore, defining stress hallmarks for different combinations is crucial. We discuss three examples of robust and dynamic plant acclimation systems, outlining specific plant responses to complex stress overlaps. (a) The high plasticity of root system architecture is a decisive feature in sustainable crop development in times of global climate change. (b) Similarly, broad sensory abilities and apparent control of cellular metabolism under adverse conditions through retrograde signaling make chloroplasts an ideal hub. Functional specificity of the chloroplast-associated molecular patterns (ChAMPs) under combined stresses needs further focus. (c) The molecular integration of several hormonal signaling pathways, which bring together all cellular information to initiate the adaptive changes, needs resolving.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is a routine event in plants. ROS function as signalling molecules in regulating plant development and defence. However, their accumulation beyond threshold leads to toxicity. Hence, plants are evolved with specialized ROS scavenging system involving phytohormones (synthesis and signalling), enzymes and metabolites. To understand the role of phytohormone jasmonic acid (JA) signalling in ROS scavenging, tomato coronatine insensitive 1 (SlCOI1), a key gene in JA signalling, was silenced and overexpressed in tomato transgenic hairy roots (HR) under the constitutive promoter. Targeted metabolomics of transgenic HR revealed accumulation of phenolic acids including ferulic acid, coumaric acid, vanillic acid, and flavonoid catechin in SlCOI1 overexpressed line. Moreover, osmolyte amino acids proline, asparagine, and glutamine showed a positive co-relation with transgenic overexpression of SlCOI1. Ascorbic acid-glutathione, a crucial antioxidant system was found to be influenced by COI1-mediated JA signalling. The expression of genes encoding enzymes superoxide dismutase 1, ascorbate peroxidase 1, and dehydroascorbate reductase 2 was found to be down and upregulated in SlCOI1 silenced and overexpressed lines, respectively. Methyl jasmonate and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici crude extract treatment further confirmed the regulatory role of COI1-mediated JA signalling in regulation of enzymatic components involved in ROS scavenging. The COI1-mediated JA signalling could also elevate the expression of RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOG-B gene which is involved in ROS wave signal generation. The present study underscores the role of COI1-mediated JA signalling in modulating enzymatic and non-enzymatic components of ROS scavenging system and pathogen associated molecular pattern triggered immunity.

Abstract
Temperature is a critical environmental factor that plays a vital role in plant growth and development. Temperatures below or above the optimum ranges lead to cold or heat stress, respectively. Temperature stress retards plant growth and development, and it reduces crop yields. Jasmonates (JAs) are a class of oxylipin phytohormones that play various roles in growth, development, and stress response. In recent years, studies have demonstrated that cold and heat stress affect JA biosynthesis and signaling, and JA plays an important role in the response to temperature stress. Recent studies have provided a large body of information elucidating the mechanisms underlying JA-mediated temperature stress response. In the present review, we present recent advances in understanding the role of JA in the response to cold and heat stress, and how JA interacts with other phytohormones during this process.

Abstract
Polyamines are small aliphatic polycations present in all living organisms. In plants, the most abundant polyamines are putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm). Polyamine levels change in response to different pathogens, including Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000). However, the regulation of polyamine metabolism and their specific contributions to defence are not fully understood. Here we report that stimulation of Put biosynthesis by Pst DC3000 is dependent on coronatine (COR) perception and jasmonic acid (JA) signalling, independently of salicylic acid (SA). Conversely, lack of Spm in spermine synthase (spms) mutant stimulated galactolipids and JA biosynthesis, and JA signalling under basal conditions and during Pst DC3000 infection, whereas compromised SA-pathway activation and defence outputs through SA-JA antagonism. The dampening of SA responses correlated with COR and Pst DC3000-inducible deregulation of ANAC019 expression and its key SA-metabolism gene targets. Spm deficiency also led to enhanced disease resistance to the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea and stimulated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signalling in response to Pst DC3000. Overall, our findings provide evidence for the integration of polyamine metabolism in JA- and SA-mediated defence responses, as well as the participation of Spm in buffering ER stress during defence.

Aldehyde perception induces specific molecular responses in Laminaria digitata and affects algal consumption by a specialist grazer.

Abstract
In the marine environment, distance signaling based on water-borne cues occurs during interactions between macroalgae and herbivores. In the brown alga Laminaria digitata from North-Atlantic Brittany, oligoalginates elicitation or grazing was shown to induce chemical and transcriptomic regulations, as well as emission of a wide range of volatile aldehydes, but their biological roles as potential defense or warning signals in response to herbivores remain unknown. In this context, bioassays using the limpet Patella pellucida and L. digitata were carried out for determining the effects of algal transient incubation with 4-hydroxyhexenal (4-HHE), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and dodecadienal on algal consumption by grazers. Simultaneously, we have developed metabolomic and transcriptomic approaches to study algal molecular responses after treatments of L. digitata with these chemical compounds. The results indicated that, unlike the treatment of the plantlets with 4-HNE or dodecadienal, treatment with 4-HHE decreases algal consumption by herbivores at 100 ng.ml-1 . Moreover, we showed that algal metabolome was significantly modified according to the type of aldehydes, and more specifically the metabolite pathways linked to fatty acid degradation. RNAseq analysis further showed that 4-HHE at 100 ng.ml-1 can activate the regulation of genes related to oxylipin signaling pathways and specific responses, compared to oligoalginates elicitation. As kelp beds constitute complex ecosystems consisting of habitat and food source for marine herbivores, the algal perception of specific aldehydes leading to targeted molecular regulations could have an important biological role on kelps/grazers interactions.

Abstract
One of the most destructive diseases, Gibberella stalk rot (GSR), caused by Fusarium graminearum, reduces maize yields significantly. An induced resistance response is a potent and cost-effective plant defense against pathogen attack. The functional counterpart of JAs, coronatine (COR), has attracted a lot of interest recently due to its ability to control plant growth and stimulate secondary metabolism. Although several studies have focused on COR as a plant immune elicitor to improve plant resistance to pathogens, the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of the suppressive ability against COR to F. graminearum in maize have been limited. We investigated the potential physiological and molecular mechanisms of COR in modulating maize resistance to F. graminearum. COR treatment strongly enhanced disease resistance and promoted stomatal closure with H2O2 accumulation, and 10 μg/mL was confirmed as the best concentration. COR treatment increased defense-related enzyme activity and decreased the malondialdehyde content with enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity. To identify candidate resistance genes and gain insight into the molecular mechanism of GSR resistance associated with COR, we integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic data to systemically explore the defense mechanisms of COR, and multiple hub genes were pinpointed using weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA). We discovered 6 significant modules containing 10 candidate genes: WRKY transcription factor (LOC100279570), calcium-binding protein (LOC100382070), NBR1-like protein (LOC100275089), amino acid permease (LOC100382244), glutathione S-transferase (LOC541830), HXXXD-type acyl-transferase (LOC100191608), prolin-rich extensin-like receptor protein kinase (LOC100501564), AP2-like ethylene-responsive transcription factor (LOC100384380), basic leucine zipper (LOC100275351), and glycosyltransferase (LOC606486), which are highly correlated with the jasmonic acid-ethylene signaling pathway and antioxidants. In addition, a core set of metabolites, including alpha-linolenic acid metabolism and flavonoids biosynthesis linked to the hub genes, were identified. Taken together, our research revealed differentially expressed key genes and metabolites, as well as co-expression networks, associated with COR treatment of maize stems after F. graminearum infection. In addition, COR-treated maize had higher JA (JA-Ile and Me-JA) levels. We postulated that COR plays a positive role in maize resistance to F. graminearum by regulating antioxidant levels and the JA signaling pathway, and the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway is also involved in the resistance response against GSR.

Fan X, Tang H, Chen X, Zeng F, Chen G, Chen ZH, Qin Y, Deng F. Allene oxide synthase 1 contributes to limiting grain arsenic accumulation and seedling detoxification in rice. STRESS BIOLOGY 2023; 3:52. [PMID: 38032410 PMCID: PMC10689621 DOI: 10.1007/s44154-023-00136-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a cancerogenic metalloid ubiquitously distributed in the environment, which can be easily accumulated in food crops like rice. Jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivatives play critical roles in plant growth and stress response. However, the role of endogenous JA in As accumulation and detoxification is still poorly understood. In this study, we found that JA biosynthesis enzymes Allene Oxide Synthases, OsAOS1 and OsAOS2, regulate As accumulation and As tolerance in rice. Evolutionary bioinformatic analysis indicated that AOS1 and AOS2 have evolved from streptophyte algae (e.g. the basal lineage Klebsormidium flaccidum) - sister clade of land plants. Compared to other two AOSs, OsAOS1 and OsAOS2 were highly expressed in all examined rice tissues and their transcripts were highly induced by As in root and shoot. Loss-of-function of OsAOS1 (osaos1-1) showed elevated As concentration in grains, which was likely attributed to the increased As translocation from root to shoot when the plants were subjected to arsenate [As(V)] but not arsenite [As (III)]. However, the mutation of OsAOS2 (osaos2-1) showed no such effect. Moreover, osaos1-1 and osaos2-1 increased the sensitivity of rice plants to both As(V) and As(III). Disrupted expression of genes involved in As accumulation and detoxification, such as OsPT4, OsNIP3;2, and OsOASTL-A1, was observed in both osaos1-1 and osaos2-1 mutant lines. In addition, a As(V)-induced significant decrease in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production was observed in the root of osaos1-1 but not in osaos2-1. Taken together, our results indicate OsAOS1 modulates both As allocation and detoxification, which could be partially attributed to the altered gene expression profiling and ROS homeostasis in rice while OsAOS2 is important for As tolerance.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16566.

Abstract
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a typical seed-borne tobamovirus that mainly infects cucurbit crops. Due to the rapid growth of international trade, CGMMV has spread worldwide and become a significant threat to cucurbit industry. Despite various studies focusing on the interaction between CGMMV and host plants, the molecular mechanism of CGMMV infection is still unclear. In this study, we utilized transcriptome and metabolome analyses to investigate the antiviral response of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) under CGMMV stress. The transcriptome analysis revealed that in comparison to mock-inoculated bottle gourd, 1929 differently expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in CGMMV-inoculated bottle gourd. Among them, 1397 genes were upregulated while 532 genes were downregulated. KEGG pathway enrichment indicated that the DEGs were mainly involved in pathways including the metabolic pathway, the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, plant hormone signal transduction, plant-pathogen interaction, and starch and sucrose metabolism. The metabolome result showed that there were 76 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs), of which 69 metabolites were up-accumulated, and 7 metabolites were down-accumulated. These DAMs were clustered into several pathways, including biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, tyrosine metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, carbon metabolism, and plant hormone signal transduction. Combining the transcriptome and metabolome results, the genes and metabolites involved in the jasmonic acid and its derivatives (JAs) synthesis pathway were significantly induced upon CGMMV infection. The silencing of the allene oxide synthase (AOS) gene, which is the key gene involved in JAs synthesis, reduced CGMMV accumulation. These findings suggest that JAs may facilitate CGMMV infection in bottle gourd.

Abstract
Jasmonates (JAs) are plant hormones with crucial roles in development and stress resilience. They activate MYC transcription factors by mediating the proteolysis of MYC inhibitors called JAZ proteins. In the absence of JA, JAZ proteins bind and inhibit MYC through the assembly of MYC-JAZ-Novel Interactor of JAZ (NINJA)-TPL repressor complexes. However, JAZ and NINJA are predicted to be largely intrinsically unstructured, which has precluded their experimental structure determination. Through a combination of biochemical, mutational, and biophysical analyses and AlphaFold-derived ColabFold modeling, we characterized JAZ-JAZ and JAZ-NINJA interactions and generated models with detailed, high-confidence domain interfaces. We demonstrate that JAZ, NINJA, and MYC interface domains are dynamic in isolation and become stabilized in a stepwise order upon complex assembly. By contrast, most JAZ and NINJA regions outside of the interfaces remain highly dynamic and cannot be modeled in a single conformation. Our data indicate that the small JAZ Zinc finger expressed in Inflorescence Meristem (ZIM) motif mediates JAZ-JAZ and JAZ-NINJA interactions through separate surfaces, and our data further suggest that NINJA modulates JAZ dimerization. This study advances our understanding of JA signaling by providing insights into the dynamics, interactions, and structure of the JAZ-NINJA core of the JA repressor complex.

Abstract
Plants have developed various defense mechanisms against environmental stresses by regulating hormone signaling. Jasmonic acid (JA) is a major phytohormone associated with plant defense responses. JASMONATE ZIM-DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins play a regulatory role in repressing JA signaling, impacting plant responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we isolated 7 JAZ genes in pepper and selected CA03g31030, a Capsicum annuum JAZ1-03 (CaJAZ1-03) gene, for further study based on its expression level in response to abiotic stresses. Through virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in pepper and overexpression in transgenic Arabidopsis plants, we established the functional role of CaJAZ1-03. Functional studies revealed that CaJAZ1-03 dampens abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and drought stress responses. The cell-free degradation assay showed faster degradation of CaJAZ1-03 in drought- or ABA-treated pepper leaves compared to healthy leaves. Conversely, CaJAZ1-03 was completely preserved under MG132 treatment, indicating that CaJAZ1-03 stability is modulated via the ubiquitin-26s proteasome pathway. We also found that the pepper RING-type E3 ligase CaASRF1 interacts with and ubiquitinates CaJAZ1-03. Additional cell-free degradation assays revealed a negative correlation between CaJAZ1-03 and CaASRF1 expression levels. Collectively, these findings suggest that CaJAZ1-03 negatively regulates ABA signaling and drought responses and that its protein stability is modulated by CaASRF1.

The resistance of the jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) to the devastating insect pest Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera, Insecta) involves the jasmonic acid signaling pathway. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 196:105597.

Abstract
Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera, Insecta), cosmopolitan true bug, is a major pest of the Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba). To propose control measures of A. lucorum, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of resistance in two varieties of jujube (wild jujube and winter jujube) with different sensitivities to this pest. We monitored changes of two species of jujube in the transcriptome, jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) content, and the expression of genes involved in signaling pathways. The preference of A. lucorum for jujube with exogenous SA and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) were also examined. The results showed that wild jujube leaves infested by A. lucorum showed stronger resistance and non-selectivity to A. lucorum than winter jujube. By comparing data from the A. lucorum infested plants with the control, A total of 438 and 796 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found in winter and wild jujube leaves, respectively. GO analysis revealed that biological process termed "plant-pathogen interactions", "plant hormone transduction" and "phenylpropanoid biosynthesis". Most of DEGs enriched in JA pathways were upregulated, while most DEGs of SA pathways were downregulated. A. lucorum increased the JA content but decreased the SA content in jujube. Consistently, the JA and SA contents in winter jujube were lower than those in wild jujube leaves. The key genes ZjFAD3, ZjLOX, ZjAOS, ZjAOC3 and ZjAOC4 involved in JA synthesis of jujube leaves were significantly up-regulated after A. lucorum infestation, especially the expression and up-regulation ratio of ZjFAD3, ZjLOX and ZjAOS in wild jujube were significantly higher than those in winter jujube. MeJA-treated jujube showed an obvious repellent effect on A. lucorum. Based on these findings, we conclude that A. lucorum infestation of jujube induced the JA pathway and suppressed the SA pathway. In jujube leaves the ZjFAD3, ZjLOX and ZjAOS played important roles in increasing of JA content in jujube leaves. Thus, JA played an important role in repelling and resisting against A. lucorum in jujube.

Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most essential human energy and protein sources. However, wheat production is threatened by devastating fungal diseases such as stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici (Pst). Here, we reveal that the alternations in chloroplast lipid profiles and the accumulation of jasmonate (JA) in the necrosis region activate JA signaling and trigger the host defense. The collapse of chloroplasts in the necrosis region results in accumulations of polyunsaturated membrane lipids and the lipid-derived phytohormone JA in transgenic lines of Yr36 that encodes Wheat Kinase START 1 (WKS1), a high-temperature-dependent adult plant resistance protein. WKS1.1, a protein encoded by a full-length splicing variant of WKS1, phosphorylates and enhances the activity of keto-acyl thiolase (KAT-2B), a critical enzyme catalyzing the β-oxidation reaction in JA biosynthesis. The premature stop mutant, kat-2b, accumulates less JA and shows defects in the host defense against Pst. Conversely, overexpression of KAT-2B results in a higher level of JA and limits the growth of Pst. Moreover, JA inhibits the growth and reduces pustule densities of Pst. This study illustrates the WKS1.1‒KAT-2B‒JA pathway for enhancing wheat defense against fungal pathogens to attenuate yield loss.

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
Regulated cell death (RCD) is crucial for plant development, as well as in decision-making in plant-microbe interactions. Previous studies revealed components of the molecular network controlling RCD, including different proteases. However, the identity, the proteolytic network as well as molecular components involved in the initiation and execution of distinct plant RCD processes, still remain largely elusive. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome, proteome, and N-terminome of Zea mays leaves treated with the Xanthomonas effector avrRxo1, the mycotoxin Fumonisin B1 (FB1), or the phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) to dissect plant cellular processes related to cell death and plant immunity. We found highly distinct and time-dependent biological processes being activated on transcriptional and proteome levels in response to avrRxo1, FB1, and SA. Correlation analysis of the transcriptome and proteome identified general, as well as trigger-specific markers for cell death in Zea mays. We found that proteases, particularly papain-like cysteine proteases, are specifically regulated during RCD. Collectively, this study characterizes distinct RCD responses in Z. mays and provides a framework for the mechanistic exploration of components involved in the initiation and execution of cell death.

Abstract
Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication mechanism between microorganisms originally found in bacteria. In recent years, an important QS mechanism has been discovered in the field of fungi, namely, the lipoxygenase compound oxylipin of arachidonic acid acts as a QS molecule in life cycle control, particularly in the sexual and asexual development of fungi. However, the role of oxylipins in mediating eukaryotic communication has not been previously described. In this paper, we review the regulatory role of oxylipins and the underlying mechanisms and discuss the potential for application in major fungi. The role of oxylipin as a fungal quorum-sensing molecule is the main focus of the review. Besides, the quorum regulation of fungal morphological transformation, biofilm formation, virulence factors, secondary metabolism, infection, symbiosis, and other physiological behaviors are discussed. Moreover, future prospectives and applications are elaborated as well.

[PMID: 37392473 PMCID: PMC10533328 DOI: 10.1093/plcell/koad191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
Plant defense against herbivores is costly and often associated with growth repression. The phytohormone jasmonate (JA) plays a central role in prioritizing defense over growth during herbivore attack, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. When brown planthoppers (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) attack rice (Oryza sativa), growth is dramatically suppressed. BPH infestation also increases inactive gibberellin (GA) levels and transcripts of GA 2-oxidase (GA2ox) genes, 2 (GA2ox3 and GA2ox7) of which encode enzymes that catalyze the conversion of bioactive GAs to inactive GAs in vitro and in vivo. Mutation of these GA2oxs diminishes BPH-elicited growth restriction without affecting BPH resistance. Phytohormone profiling and transcriptome analyses revealed that GA2ox-mediated GA catabolism was enhanced by JA signaling. The transcript levels of GA2ox3 and GA2ox7 were significantly attenuated under BPH attack in JA biosynthesis (allene oxide cyclase [aoc]) or signaling-deficient (myc2) mutants. In contrast, GA2ox3 and GA2ox7 expression was increased in MYC2 overexpression lines. MYC2 directly binds to the G-boxes in the promoters of both GA2ox genes to regulate their expression. We conclude that JA signaling simultaneously activates defense responses and GA catabolism to rapidly optimize resource allocation in attacked plants and provides a mechanism for phytohormone crosstalk.

Abstract
(3R, 7S)-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is a lipid-derived plant hormone that regulates plant responses, including biotic/abiotic stress adaptation. In the plant cells, JA-Ile is perceived by COI1-JAZ co-receptor by causing protein-protein interaction between COI1 and JAZ proteins to trigger gene expressions. In this study, we focused on Oryza sativa, a model monocot and an important crop, with 45 possible OsCOI-OsJAZ co-receptor pairs composed of three OsCOI homologs (OsCOI1a, OsCOI1b, and OsCOI2) and 15 OsJAZ homologs. We performed fluorescein anisotropy and pull-down assays to examine the affinity between JA-Ile and OsCOI1a/1b/2-OsJAZ1-15 co-receptor pairs. The results revealed a remarkable difference in the modes of ligand perception by OsCOI1a/1b and OsCOI2. Recently, the unique function of OsCOI2 in some of the JA-responses were revealed. Our current results will lead to the possible development of OsCOI2-selective synthetic ligand.
