Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Salt tolerance, selenium accumulation and expression of the responsive genes were analyzed in the wheat high selenium mutants. Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body, and its deficiency can lead to various diseases such as Keshan disease and large bone disease. Wheat, being a major staple crop, plays a crucial role in providing dietary selenium supplementation to combat this deficiency. Despite progress in understanding the molecular regulation of selenium accumulation in certain crops, the molecular mechanisms governing selenium accumulation-related gene expression in wheat plants remain poorly understood. In this study, three mutant wheat lines with elevated selenium content were identified. Under the treatment of Na2SeO3 or NaCl, the selenium-rich wheat mutants exhibited decreased sensitivity to both selenium and NaCl compared to the wild type. Additionally, there was an increase in the activities of SOD and POD, while the content of MDA decreased. Through qRT-PCR analysis, the expression of selenium-related genes was affected, revealing that some of these genes not only regulate the response of wheat to salt stress, but also play a role in the process of selenium accumulation. The transcriptome results revealed that the important genes encoding glutathione S-transferases, peroxidases, superoxide dismutases, and UDP-glucosyltransferases may function in the regulation of salt tolerance and selenium accumulation in wheat. These findings significantly contribute to the current understanding of the molecular regulation of selenium accumulation in wheat crops, while also offering novel germplasm resources for cultivating selenium-rich and salt-tolerant wheat lines.

Biochemical and molecular responses of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle in wheat seedlings exposed to different forms of selenium. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 208:108460.

Abstract
Biofortification aims to increase selenium (Se) concentration and bioavailability in edible parts of crops such as wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), resulting in increased concentration of Se in plants and/or soil. Higher Se concentrations can disturb protein structure and consequently influence glutathione (GSH) metabolism in plants which can affect antioxidative and other detoxification pathways. The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of five different concentrations of selenate and selenite (0.4, 4, 20, 40 and 400 mg kg-1) on the ascorbate-glutathione cycle in wheat shoots and roots and to determine biochemical and molecular tissue-specific responses. Content of investigated metabolites, activities of detoxification enzymes and expression of their genes depended both on the chemical form and concentration of the applied Se, as well as on the type of plant tissue. The most pronounced changes in the expression level of genes involved in GSH metabolism were visible in wheat shoots at the highest concentrations of both forms of Se. Obtained results can serve as a basis for further research on Se toxicity and detoxification mechanisms in wheat. New insights into the Se impact on GSH metabolism could contribute to the further development of biofortification strategies.

Abstract
Bidens pilosa L. (B. pilosa) has great potential for the phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soils. However, the molecular mechanism underlying Cd tolerance and detoxification in B. pilosa is still unclear. In the present study, a 4D label-free quantification technique combined with liquid chromatography-parallel reaction monitoring mass spectrometry was used to explore the stress response mechanism of B. pilosa. Proteomic analysis revealed 213 and 319 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the roots and leaves of B. pilosa, respectively, and 12 target proteins were selected for further analysis. SWISS-MODEL was used to predict the 3D structures of the target proteins. The cation-ATPase-N structural domain and an ATPase-E1-E2 motif, which help to regulate ATPase function, were detected in the TR10519_c0_g1_ORF protein. In addition, the TR6620_c0_g1_ORF_1 and TR611_c1_g1_ORF proteins contained peroxidase-1 and peroxidase-2 motifs. The TR11239_c0_g1_ORF protein was found to belong to the Fe-SOD family, to have a dimeric structure and to contain a relatively high proportion of α-helices but few β-sheets, which play important roles in reactive oxygen intermediate scavenging. Thus, the current study provides an overview of the proteomic response of B. pilosa in scavenging of Cd-induced reactive oxygen intermediates and reveals key proteins involved in the stress response of B. pilosa under Cd exposure.

Selenium Biofortification Impacts the Tomato Fruit Metabolome and Transcriptional Profile at Ripening. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2023; 71:13554-13565.

Abstract
In the present work, the effects of enriching tomatoes with selenium were studied in terms of physiological, metabolic, and molecular processes in the last stages of fruit development, particularly during ripening. A selenium concentration of 10 mg L-1 with sodium selenate and selenium nanoparticles was used in the spray treatments on the whole plants. No significant effects of selenium enrichment were detected in terms of ethylene production or color changes in the ripening fruit. However, selenium enrichment had an influence on both the primary and secondary metabolic processes and thus the biochemical composition of ripe tomatoes. Selenium decreased the amount of β-carotene, increased the accumulation of naringenin and chlorogenic acid, and decreased the coumaric acid level. Selenium also affected the volatile organic compound profile, with changes in the level of specific apocarotenoid compounds, such as β-ionone. These metabolomic changes may, to some extent, be due to the impact of selenium treatment on the transcription of genes involved in the metabolism of these compounds. RNA-seq analysis showed that the selenium application mostly impacted the expression of the genes involved in hormonal signaling, secondary metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, and glycosaminoglycan degradation.

Integrated Transcriptome and Proteome Analysis Revealed the Regulatory Mechanism of Hypocotyl Elongation in Pakchoi. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13808.

Abstract
Hypocotyl length is a critical determinant for the efficiency of mechanical harvesting in pakchoi production, but the knowledge on the molecular regulation of hypocotyl growth is very limited. Here, we report a spontaneous mutant of pakchoi, lhy7.1, and identified its characteristics. We found that it has an elongated hypocotyl phenotype compared to the wild type caused by the longitudinal growth of hypocotyl cells. Different light quality treatments, transcriptome, and proteomic analyses were performed to reveal the molecular mechanisms of hypocotyl elongation. The data showed that the hypocotyl length of lhy7.1 was significantly longer than that of WT under red, blue, and white lights but there was no significant difference under dark conditions. Furthermore, we used transcriptome and label-free proteome analyses to investigate differences in gene and protein expression levels between lhy7.1 and WT. At the transcript level, 4568 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, which were mainly enriched in "plant hormone signal transduction", "photosynthesis", "photosynthesis-antenna proteins", and "carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms" pathways. At the protein level, 1007 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified and were mainly enriched in photosynthesis-related pathways. The comprehensive transcriptome and proteome analyses revealed a regulatory network of hypocotyl elongation involving plant hormone signal transduction and photosynthesis-related pathways. The findings of this study help elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of hypocotyl elongation in lhy7.1.

Abstract
Natural and anthropogenic causes are continually growing sources of metals in the ecosystem; hence, heavy metal (HM) accumulation has become a primary environmental concern. HM contamination poses a serious threat to plants. A major focus of global research has been to develop cost-effective and proficient phytoremediation technologies to rehabilitate HM-contaminated soil. In this regard, there is a need for insights into the mechanisms associated with the accumulation and tolerance of HMs in plants. It has been recently suggested that plant root architecture has a critical role in the processes that determine sensitivity or tolerance to HMs stress. Several plant species, including those from aquatic habitats, are considered good hyperaccumulators for HM cleanup. Several transporters, such as the ABC transporter family, NRAMP, HMA, and metal tolerance proteins, are involved in the metal acquisition mechanisms. Omics tools have shown that HM stress regulates several genes, stress metabolites or small molecules, microRNAs, and phytohormones to promote tolerance to HM stress and for efficient regulation of metabolic pathways for survival. This review presents a mechanistic view of HM uptake, translocation, and detoxification. Sustainable plant-based solutions may provide essential and economical means of mitigating HM toxicity.

Abstract
To minimize environmental risks and the phytotoxic influence of organic materials on crop growth, it is necessary to test their phytotoxicity and maturity when they were used in farmland. However, the stress response of seed germination to chicken manure and cornstalks is not clear. This study used multi-omics analysis to investigate the inhibition mechanism of seed germination by chicken manure and cornstalk. Chicken manure caused destructive inhibition of seed germination with higher phytotoxicity (GI = 0). Cornstalk also had a low GI (8.81 %), while it mainly inhibited radicle growth (RL = 9.39 %) rather than seed germination (GR = 93.33 %). The response of radish seed germination to chicken manure and cornstalk phytotoxic stresses was accompanied by metabolic adjustments of storage substance accumulation, antioxidant enzyme activity change, phytohormone induction, and expression of specific proteins and gene regulation. Combined transcriptomic and proteomic analysis revealed that differential expression of 13,090 (5944 upregulated/7146 downregulated) and 3850 (2389 upregulated/1461 downregulated) genes (DEGs), and 1041 (82 upregulated/932 downregulated) and 575 (111 upregulated/464 downregulated) proteins (DEPs) at chicken manure and cornstalk treatment, respectively. Most down-regulated genes and proteins were involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis under chicken manure stress, which caused irreversible inhibition of seed germination. Down-regulation of phytohormone signal transduction-related genes under cornstalk stress resulted in inhibition of radicle growth, but the inhibitory stress was restorable. These findings provide new insight into the phytotoxicity of livestock manure and cornstalk on seed germination.

Abstract
While wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a widely grown and enjoyed crop, the diverse and complex global situation and climate are exacerbating the instability of its supply. In particular, pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is one of the major abiotic stresses that frequently occurs due to irregular climate conditions, causing serious damage to wheat and its quality. In this study, transcriptomic analysis with RNA-seq and proteomic analysis with LC-MS/MS were performed in PHS-treated spikes from two wheat cultivars presenting PHS sensitivity and tolerance, respectively. A total of 13,154 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 706 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in four comparison groups between the susceptible/tolerant cultivars. Gene function and correlation analysis were performed to determine the co-profiled genes and proteins affected by PHS treatment. In the functional annotation of each comparative group, similar functions were confirmed in each cultivar under PHS treatment; however, in Keumgang PHS+7 (K7) vs. Woori PHS+7 (W7), functional annotations presented clear differences in the "spliceosome" and "proteasome" pathways. In addition, our results indicate that alternative splicing and ubiquitin-proteasome support the regulation of germination and seed dormancy. This study provides an advanced understanding of the functions involved in transcription and translation related to PHS mechanisms, thus enabling specific proposals for the further analysis of germination and seed dormancy mechanisms and pathways in wheat.

Abstract
Plant cell metabolism inevitably forms an important drought-responsive mechanism, which halts crop productivity. Globally, more than 30% of the total harvested area was affected by dehydration. RNA-seq technology has enabled biologists to identify stress-responsive genes in relatively quick times. However, one shortcoming of this technology is the inconsistent data generation compared to other parts of the world. So, we have tried, here, to generate a consensus by analyzing meta-transcriptomic data available in the public microarray database GEO NCBI. In this way, the aim was set, here, to identify stress genes commonly identified as differentially expressed (p < 0.05) then followed by downstream analyses. The search term “Drought in wheat” resulted in 233 microarray experiments from the GEO NCBI database. After discarding empty datasets containing no expression data, the large-scale meta-transcriptome analytics and one sample proportional test were carried out (Bonferroni adjusted p < 0.05) to reveal a set of 11 drought-responsive genes on a global scale. The annotation of these genes revealed that the transcription factor activity of RNA polymerase II and sequence-specific DNA-binding mechanism had a significant role during the drought response in wheat. Similarly, the primary root differentiation zone annotations, controlled by TraesCS5A02G456300 and TraesCS7B02G243600 genes, were found as top-enriched terms (p < 0.05 and Q < 0.05). The resultant standard drought genes, glycosyltransferase; Arabidopsis thaliana KNOTTED-like; bHLH family protein; Probable helicase MAGATAMA 3; SBP family protein; Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2; Trihelix family protein; Mic1 domain-containing protein; ERF family protein; HD-ZIP I protein; and ERF family protein, are important in terms of their worldwide proved link with stress. From a future perspective, this study could be important in a breeding program contributing to increased crop yield. Moreover, the wheat varieties could be identified as drought-resistant/sensitive based on the nature of gene expression levels.
