Abstract
Plants or tissues can be regenerated through various pathways. Like animal regeneration, cell totipotency and pluripotency are the molecular basis of plant regeneration. Detailed systematic studies on Arabidopsis thaliana gradually unravel the fundamental mechanisms and principles underlying plant regeneration. Specifically, plant hormones, cell division, epigenetic remodeling, and transcription factors play crucial roles in reprogramming somatic cells and reestablishing meristematic cells. Recent research on basal non-vascular plants and monocot crops has revealed that plant regeneration differs among species, with various plant species using distinct mechanisms and displaying significant differences in regenerative capacity. Conducting multi-omics studies at the single-cell level, tracking plant regeneration processes in real-time, and deciphering the natural variation in regenerative capacity will ultimately help understand the essence of plant regeneration, improve crop regeneration efficiency, and contribute to future crop design.

PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 346:112115. [PMID: 38768868 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2024.112115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
The formation of adventitious roots (AR) is an essential step in the vegetative propagation of economically woody species. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) function as signaling molecules in regulating root growth and development. Here, we identified an R2R3-MYB transcription factor PagMYB180 as a regulator of AR formation in hybrid poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa). PagMYB180 was specifically expressed in the vascular tissues of poplar roots, stems and leaves, and its protein was localized in the nucleus and acted as a transcriptional repressor. Both dominant repression and overexpression of PagMYB180 resulted in a significant reduction of AR quantity, a substantial increase of AR length, and an elevation of both the quantity and length of lateral roots (LR) compared to the wild type (WT) plants. Furthermore, PagMYB180 regulates programmed cell death (PCD) in root cortex cells, which is associated with elevated levels of ROS. Transcriptome and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analyses revealed that a series of differentially expressed genes are related to ROS, PCD and ethylene synthesis. Taken together, these results suggest that PagMYB180 may regulate AR development via a ROS/PCD-dependent pathway in poplar.

Abstract
As sessile organisms, plants experience variable environments and encounter diverse stresses during their growth and development. Adventitious rooting, orchestrated by multiple coordinated signaling pathways, represents an adaptive strategy evolved by plants to adapt to cope with changing environmental conditions. This study uncovered the role of the miR159a-PeMYB33 module in the formation of adventitious roots (ARs) synergistically with abscisic acid (ABA) signaling in poplar. Overexpression of miR159a increased the number of ARs and plant height while reducing sensitivity to ABA in transgenic plants. In contrast, inhibition of miR159a (using Short Tandem Target Mimic) or overexpression of PeMYB33 decreased the number of ARs in transgenic plants. Additionally, miR159a targets and cleaves transcripts of PeMYB33 using degradome analysis, which was further confirmed by a transient expression experiment of poplar protoplast. We show the miR159a-PeMYB33 module controls ARs development in poplar through ABA signaling. In particular, we demonstrated that miR159a promotes the expression of genes in the ABA signaling pathway. The findings from this study shed light on the intricate regulatory mechanisms governing the development of ARs in poplar plants. The miR159a-PeMYB33 module, in conjunction with ABA signaling, plays a crucial role in modulating AR formation and subsequent plant growth.

Genes (Basel) 2024; 15:388.

Abstract
Wounding and exogenous auxin are needed to induce adventitious roots in chestnut microshoots. However, the specific inductive role of wounding has not been characterized in this species. In the present work, two main goals were established: First, we prompted to optimize exogenous auxin treatments to improve the overall health status of the shoots at the end of the rooting cycle. Second, we developed a time-series transcriptomic analysis to compare gene expression in response to wounding alone and wounding plus auxin, focusing on the early events within the first days after treatments. Results suggest that the expression of many genes involved in the rooting process is under direct or indirect control of both stimuli. However, specific levels of expression of relevant genes are only attained when both treatments are applied simultaneously, leading to the successful development of roots. In this sense, we have identified four transcription factors upregulated by auxin (CsLBD16, CsERF113, Cs22D and CsIAA6), with some of them also being induced by wounding. The highest expression levels of these genes occurred when wounding and auxin treatments were applied simultaneously, correlating with the rooting response of the shoots. The results of this work clarify the genetic nature of the wounding response in chestnut, its relation to adventitious rooting, and might be helpful in the development of more specific protocols for the vegetative propagation of this species.

Abstract
Building sustainable platforms to produce biofuels and specialty chemicals has become an increasingly important strategy to supplement and replace fossil fuels and petrochemical-derived products. Terpenoids are the most diverse class of natural products that have many commercial roles as specialty chemicals. Poplar is a fast growing, biomassdense bioenergy crop with many species known to produce large amounts of the hemiterpene isoprene, suggesting an inherent capacity to produce significant quantities of other terpenes. Here we aimed to engineer poplar with optimized pathways to produce squalene, a triterpene commonly used in cosmetic oils, a potential biofuel candidate, and the precursor to the further diversified classes of triterpenoids and sterols. The squalene production pathways were either re-targeted from the cytosol to plastids or co-produced with lipid droplets in the cytosol. Squalene and lipid droplet co-production appeared to be toxic, which we hypothesize to be due to disruption of adventitious root formation, suggesting a need for tissue specific production. Plastidial squalene production enabled up to 0.63 mg/g fresh weight in leaf tissue, which also resulted in reductions in isoprene emission and photosynthesis. These results were also studied through a technoeconomic analysis, providing further insight into developing poplar as a production host.

Abstract
YABBY gene family is a plant-specific transcription factor with DNA binding domain involved in various functions i.e. regulation of style, length of flowers, and polarity development of lateral organs in flowering plants. Computational methods were utilized to identify members of the YABBY gene family, with Carrot (Daucus carota) 's genome as a foundational reference. The structure of genes, location of the chromosomes, protein motifs and phylogenetic investigation, syntony and transcriptomic analysis, and miRNA targets were analyzed to unmask the hidden structural and functional characteristics YABBY gene family in Carrots. In the following research, it has been concluded that 11 specific YABBY genes irregularly dispersed on all 9 chromosomes and proteins assembled into five subgroups i.e. AtINO, AtCRC, AtYAB5, AtAFO, and AtYAB2, which were created on the well-known classification of Arabidopsis. The wide ranges of YABBY genes in carrots were dispersed due to segmental duplication, which was detected as prevalent when equated to tandem duplication. Transcriptomic analysis showed that one of the DcYABBY genes was highly expressed during anthocyanin pigmentation in carrot taproots. The cis-regulatory elements (CREs) analysis unveiled elements that particularly respond to light, cell cycle regulation, drought induce ability, ABA hormone, seed, and meristem expression. Furthermore, a relative study among Carrot and Arabidopsis genes of the YABBY family indicated 5 sub-families sharing common characteristics. The comprehensive evaluation of YABBY genes in the genome provides a direction for the cloning and understanding of their functional properties in carrots. Our investigations revealed genome-wide distribution and role of YABBY genes in the carrots with best-fit comparison to Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract
The conifer Taxodium hybrid 'Zhongshanshan' (T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan') is characterized by rapid growth, strong stress resistance, and high ornamental value and has significant potential for use in afforestation, landscaping, and wood production. The main method of propagating T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan' is tender branch cutting, but the cutting rooting abilities of different T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan' clones differ significantly. To explore the causes of rooting ability differences at a molecular level, we analyzed the transcriptome data of cutting base and root tissues of T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan 149' with a rooting rate of less than 5% and T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan 118' with rooting rate greater than 60%, at the developmental time points in this study. The results indicated that differentially expressed genes between the two clones were mainly associated with copper ion binding, peroxidase, and oxidoreductase activity, response to oxidative stress, phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis, and plant hormone signal transduction, among others. The expression pattern of ThAP2 was different throughout the development of the adventitive roots of the two clone cuttings. Therefore, this gene was selected for further study. It was shown that ThAP2 was a nuclear-localized transcription factor and demonstrated a positive feedback effect on rooting in transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana cuttings. Thus, the results of this study explain the molecular mechanism of cutting rooting and provide candidate gene resources for developing genetic breeding strategies for optimizing superior clones of T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan'.

Abstract
To select poplar clones with excellent adventitious roots development (ARD) and deepen the understanding of its molecular mechanism, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted on 38 Populus germplasm resources with cuttings cultured in the greenhouse. Genetic differences between poplar clones with good ARD and with poor ARD were explored from the perspectives of genomics and transcriptomics. By cluster analysis of the seven adventitious roots (AR) traits, the materials were classified into three clusters, of which cluster I indicated excellent AR developmental capability and promising breeding potential, especially P.×canadensis 'Guariento', P. 'jingtong1', P. deltoides 'Zhongcheng5', P. deltoides 'Zhongcheng2'. At the genomic level, the cross-population composite likelihood ratio (XP-CLR) analysis identified 1944 positive selection regions related to ARD, and variation detection analysis identified 3426 specific SNPs and 687 specific Indels in the clones with good ARD, 3212 specific SNPs and 583 specific Indels in the clones with poor ARD, respectively. Through XP-CLR, variation detection, and weighted gene co-expression network analysis based on transcriptome data, eight major putative genes associated with poplar ARD were primary identified, and a co-expression network of eight genes was constructed, it was discovered that CSD1 and WRKY6 may be important in the ARD. Subsequently, we confirmed that SWEET17 had a non-synonymous mutation at the site of 928,404 in the clones with poor ARD, resulting in an alteration of the amino acid. After exploring phenotypic differences and the genetic variation of adventitious roots development in different poplar clones, this study provides valuable reference information for future poplar breeding and genetic improvement.

Abstract
Adventitious root formation is a key step in vegetative propagation via cuttings. It is crucial for establishing birch plantations and preserve birch varieties. Although previous studies have highlighted role of WOX11 in controlling adventitious root formation, no such study has been conducted in birch. Understanding the mechanism of adventitious root formation is essential for improvement of rooting or survival rate using stem cuttings in birch. In this study, we cloned BpWOX11 and produced BpWOX11 overexpression (OE) transgenic lines using the Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation. OE lines exhibited early initiated adventitious root formation, leading to increase the rooting rate of stem cuttings plants. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that OE lines induced the gene expression related to expansin and cell division pathway, as well as defense and stress response genes. These may be important factors for the BpWOX11 gene to promote adventitious root formation in birch cuttings. The results of this study will help to further understand the molecular mechanisms controlling the formation of adventitious roots in birch.

PLANT PHENOMICS (WASHINGTON, D.C.) 2023; 5:0127.

Abstract
Root system architecture (RSA) is an important measure of how plants navigate and interact with the soil environment. However, current methods in studying RSA must make tradeoffs between precision of data and proximity to natural conditions, with root growth in germination papers providing accessibility and high data resolution. Functional-structural plant models (FSPMs) can overcome this tradeoff, though parameterization and evaluation of FSPMs are traditionally based in manual measurements and visual comparison. Here, we applied a germination paper system to study the adventitious RSA and root phenology of Populus trichocarpa stem cuttings using time-series image-based phenotyping augmented by FSPM. We found a significant correlation between timing of root initiation and thermal time at cutting collection (P value = 0.0061, R2 = 0.875), but little correlation with RSA. We also present a use of RhizoVision [1] for automatically extracting FSPM parameters from time series images and evaluating FSPM simulations. A high accuracy of the parameterization was achieved in predicting 2D growth with a sensitivity rate of 83.5%. This accuracy was lost when predicting 3D growth with sensitivity rates of 38.5% to 48.7%, while overall accuracy varied with phenotyping methods. Despite this loss in accuracy, the new method is amenable to high throughput FSPM parameterization and bridges the gap between advances in time-series phenotyping and FSPMs.

Abstract
The root system of plants consists of primary, lateral, and adventitious roots (ARs) (aka shoot-born roots). ARs arise from stem- or leaf-derived cells during post-embryonic development. Adventitious root development (ARD) through stem cuttings is the first requirement for successful establishment and growth of planted trees; however, the details of the molecular mechanisms underlying ARD are poorly understood. This knowledge is important to both basic plant biology and because of its necessary role in the successful propagation of superior cultivars of commercial woody bioenergy crops, like poplar. In this review article, the molecular mechanisms that control both endogenous (auxin) and environmentally (nutrients and microbes) regulated ARD and how these systems interact to control the rooting efficiency of poplar trees are described. Then, potential future studies in employing integrated systems biology approaches at cellular resolutions are proposed to more precisely identify the molecular mechanisms that cause AR. Using genetic transformation and genome editing approaches, this information can be used for improving ARD in economically important plants for which clonal propagation is a requirement.

Abstract
Plant establishment requires the formation and development of an extensive root system with architecture modulated by complex genetic networks. Here, we report the identification of the PtrXB38 gene as an expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) hotspot, mapped using 390 leaf and 444 xylem Populus trichocarpa transcriptomes. Among predicted targets of this trans-eQTL were genes involved in plant hormone responses and root development. Overexpression of PtrXB38 in Populus led to significant increases in callusing and formation of both stem-born roots and base-born adventitious roots. Omics studies revealed that genes and proteins controlling auxin transport and signaling were involved in PtrXB38-mediated adventitious root formation. Protein-protein interaction assays indicated that PtrXB38 interacts with components of endosomal sorting complexes required for transport machinery, implying that PtrXB38-regulated root development may be mediated by regulating endocytosis pathway. Taken together, this work identified a crucial root development regulator and sheds light on the discovery of other plant developmental regulators through combining eQTL mapping and omics approaches.

Abstract
Adventitious rooting (AR) is critical to the propagation, breeding, and genetic engineering of trees. The capacity for plants to undergo this process is highly heritable and of a polygenic nature; however, the basis of its genetic variation is largely uncharacterized. To identify genetic regulators of AR, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 1148 genotypes of Populus trichocarpa. GWASs are often limited by the abilities of researchers to collect precise phenotype data on a high-throughput scale; to help overcome this limitation, we developed a computer vision system to measure an array of traits related to adventitious root development in poplar, including temporal measures of lateral and basal root length and area. GWAS was performed using multiple methods and significance thresholds to handle non-normal phenotype statistics and to gain statistical power. These analyses yielded a total of 277 unique associations, suggesting that genes that control rooting include regulators of hormone signaling, cell division and structure, reactive oxygen species signaling, and other processes with known roles in root development. Numerous genes with uncharacterized functions and/or cryptic roles were also identified. These candidates provide targets for functional analysis, including physiological and epistatic analyses, to better characterize the complex polygenic regulation of AR.

Abstract
Adventitious roots or shoot-borne roots transdifferentiate from cells close to vascular tissues after cell reprogramming, which is associated with increased transcriptional activity. Recently, Garg et al. provided a genome-wide landscape of transcriptional signatures during the early stages of adventitious root initiation in rice and showed that conserved transcription factors acquire species-specific function.

Abstract
Hybrid larch is the main timber and afforestation tree species in Northeast China. To solve the problem of rooting difficulties in larch cutting propagation, enzyme activity determination and transcriptome sequencing were carried out on the rooting tissues at five timepoints after cutting. peroxidase (POD), indole acetic acid oxidase (IAAO) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) play important roles in the larch rooting process after cutting. A total of 101.20 Gb of clean data was obtained by transcriptome sequencing, and 43,246 unigenes were obtained after further screening and assembly. According to GO analysis and KEGG enrichment analysis, we think that plant hormones play an important role in the rooting process of larch stem cuttings. in the plant hormone signal transduction pathway, a larch gene c141104.graph_c0 that is homologous to the Arabidopsis AUX1 was found to be significantly up-regulated. We suggest that AUX1 may promote IAA transport in larch, thus affecting adventitious root development. According to the results of POD, PPO IAAO indexes and GO analysis, we think s1 and s2 periods may be important periods in the rooting process of larch stem cuttings, so we built a gene regulatory network, a total of 14genes, including LBD, NAC, AP2/ERF, bHLH and etc., may be important in different stages of cutting propagation. As the rooting rate after cutting inhibits the development of larch clone propagation, identifying the genes that regulate rooting could help us to preliminarily understand the molecular mechanism of adventitious root formation and select a better treatment method for cutting propagation.

Abstract
Regeneration serves as a self-protective mechanism that allows a tissue or organ to recover its entire form and function after suffering damage. However, the regenerative capacity varies greatly within the plant kingdom. Primitive plants frequently display an amazing regenerative ability as they have developed a complex system and strategy for long-term survival under extreme stress conditions. The regenerative ability of dicot species is highly variable, but that of monocots often exhibits extreme recalcitrance to tissue replenishment. Recent studies have revealed key factors and signals that affect cell fate during plant regeneration, some of which are conserved among the plant lineage. Among these, several members of the ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERF) transcription factors have been implicated in wound signaling, playing crucial roles in the regenerative mechanisms after different types of wounding. An understanding of plant regeneration may ultimately lead to an increased regenerative potential of recalcitrant species, producing more high-yielding, multi-resistant and environmentally friendly crops and ensuring the long-term development of global agriculture.

Abstract
De novo organ regeneration is the process in which adventitious roots or shoots regenerate from detached or wounded organs. De novo organ regeneration can occur either in natural conditions, e.g. adventitious root regeneration from the wounded sites of detached leaves or stems, or in in-vitro tissue culture, e.g. organ regeneration from callus. In this review, we summarize recent advances in research on the molecular mechanism of de novo organ regeneration, focusing on the role of the WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX11 (WOX11) gene in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. WOX11 is a direct target of the auxin signaling pathway, and it is expressed in, and regulates the establishment of, the founder cell during de novo root regeneration and callus formation. WOX11 activates the expression of its target genes to initiate root and callus primordia. Therefore, WOX11 links upstream auxin signaling to downstream cell fate transition during regeneration. We also discuss the role of WOX11 in diverse species and its evolution in plants.

Transcriptomics Analysis Reveals a Putative Role for Hormone Signaling and MADS-Box Genes in Mature Chestnut Shoots Rooting Recalcitrance. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 11:3486. [PMID: 36559597 PMCID: PMC9786281 DOI: 10.3390/plants11243486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Maturation imposes several changes in plants, which are particularly drastic in the case of trees. In recalcitrant woody species, such as chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.), one of the major maturation-related shifts is the loss of the ability to form adventitious roots in response to auxin treatment as the plant ages. To analyze the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, an in vitro model system of two different lines of microshoots derived from the same field-grown tree was established. While juvenile-like shoots root readily when treated with exogenous auxin, microshoots established from the crown of the tree rarely form roots. In the present study, a transcriptomic analysis was developed to compare the gene expression patterns in both types of shoots 24 h after hormone and wounding treatment, matching the induction phase of the process. Our results support the hypothesis that the inability of adult chestnut tissues to respond to the inductive treatment relies in a deep change of gene expression imposed by maturation that results in a significant transcriptome modification. Differences in phytohormone signaling seem to be the main cause for the recalcitrant behavior of mature shoots, with abscisic acid and ethylene negatively influencing the rooting ability of the chestnut plants. We have identified a set of related MADS-box genes whose expression is modified but not suppressed by the inductive treatment in mature shoots, suggesting a putative link of their activity with the rooting-recalcitrant behavior of this material. Overall, distinct maturation-derived auxin sensibility and homeostasis, and the related modifications in the balance with other phytohormones, seem to govern the outcome of the process in each type of shoots.

Abstract
Adventitious root (AR) development is an extremely complex biological process that is affected by many intrinsic factors and extrinsic stimuli. Some WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) transcription factors have been reported to play important roles in AR development, but their functional relationships with auxin signaling are poorly understood, especially the developmental plasticity of roots in response to adversity stress. Here, we identified that the WOX11/12a-SMALL AUXIN UP RNA36 (SAUR36) module mediates AR development through the auxin pathway in poplar, as well as under salt stress. PagWOX11/12a displayed inducible expression during AR development, and overexpression of PagWOX11/12a significantly promoted AR development and increased salt tolerance in poplar, whereas dominant repression of PagWOX11/12a produced the opposite phenotype. PagWOX11/12a proteins directly bind to the SAUR36 promoter to regulate SAUR36 transcription, and this binding was enhanced during salt stress. Genetic modification of PagWOX11/12a-PagSAUR36 expression revealed that the PagWOX11/12a-PagSAUR36 module is crucial for controlling AR development via the auxin pathway. Overall, our results indicate that a novel WOX11-SAUR-auxin signaling regulatory module is required for AR development in poplar. These findings provide key insights and a better understanding of the involvement of WOX11 in root developmental plasticity in saline environments.

Abstract
The formation of adventitious roots (ARs) is vital for the vegetative propagation of poplars. However, the relevant mechanisms remain unclear. To reveal the underlying molecular mechanism, we used RNA-seq to investigate the transcriptional alterations of poplar cuttings soaked in water for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 d; 3,798 genes were differentially expressed at all the time points, including 2,448 upregulated and 1,350 downregulated genes. Biological processes including “cell cycle,” “photosynthesis,” “regulation of hormone levels,” and “auxin transport” were enriched in the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). KEGG results showed that the common DEGs were most enriched in the pathway of “Carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms” and “Starch and sucrose metabolism.” We further dissected 38 DEGs related to root and auxin, including two lateral root primordium 1 (LRP1), one root meristem growth factor (RGF9), one auxin-induced in the root (AIR12), three rooting-associated genes (AUR1 and AUR3), eight auxin transcription factors (ARFs and LBDs), 10 auxin respective genes (SAURs and GH3s), nine auxin transporters (PINs, ABCs, LAX2, and AUXs), and four auxin signal genes (IAAs and TIR1). We found that the rooting abilities of poplar cuttings with and without leaves are different. By applying different concentrations of IBA and sucrose to the top of cuttings without leaves, we found that 0.2 mg/ml IBA and 2 mg/ml sucrose had the best effect on promoting AR formation. The transcriptome results indicated photosynthesis may influence AR formation in poplar cuttings with leaves and revealed a potential regulatory mechanism of leafy cuttage from poplar cuttings. In addition, we provided a new perspective to resolve rooting difficulties in recalcitrant species.

Abstract
The regenerative potential in response to wounding varies widely among species. Within the plant lineage, the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha displays an extraordinary regeneration capacity. However, its molecular pathways controlling the initial regeneration response are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the MpERF15 transcription factor gene is instantly activated after wounding and is essential for gemmaling regeneration following tissue incision. MpERF15 operates both upstream and downstream of the MpCOI1 oxylipin receptor by controlling the expression of oxylipin biosynthesis genes. The resulting rise in the oxylipin dinor-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (dn-OPDA) levels results in an increase in gemma cell number and apical notch organogenesis, generating highly disorganized and compact thalli. Our data pinpoint MpERF15 as a key factor activating an oxylipin biosynthesis amplification loop after wounding, which eventually results in reactivation of cell division and regeneration. We suggest that the genetic networks controlling oxylipin biosynthesis in response to wounding might have been reshuffled over evolution.

Abstract
Recalcitrant adventitious root (AR) development is a major hurdle in propagating commercially important woody plants. Although significant progress has been made to identify genes involved in subsequent steps of AR development, the molecular basis of differences in apparent recalcitrance to form AR between easy-to-root and difficult-to-root genotypes remains unknown. To address this, we generated cambium tissue-specific transcriptomic data from stem cuttings of hybrid aspen, T89 (difficult-to-root) and hybrid poplar OP42 (easy-to-root), and used transgenic approaches to verify the role of several transcription factors in the control of adventitious rooting. Increased peroxidase activity was positively correlated with better rooting. We found differentially expressed genes encoding reactive oxygen species scavenging proteins to be enriched in OP42 compared with T89. A greater number of differentially expressed transcription factors in cambium cells of OP42 compared with T89 was revealed by a more intense transcriptional reprograming in the former. PtMYC2, a potential negative regulator, was less expressed in OP42 compared with T89. Using transgenic approaches, we demonstrated that PttARF17.1 and PttMYC2.1 negatively regulate adventitious rooting. Our results provide insights into the molecular basis of genotypic differences in AR and implicate differential expression of the master regulator MYC2 as a critical player in this process.

Abstract
Triploid breeding based on unilateral sexual polyploidization is an effective approach for genetic improvement of Populus, which can integrate heterosis and ploidy vigor in an elite variety. However, the phenotypic divergence of unselected allotriploids with the same cross-combination remains poorly understood, and the contributions of ploidy, gender, and genotype effects on phenotypic variation are still unclear. In this study, wood and fiber traits, including basic density (BD), lignin content (LC), fiber length (FL), fiber width (FW), and fiber length/width (FL/W), were measured based on a 10-year-old clonal trial, including full-sib diploid and triploid hybrids of (Populus pseudo-simonii × P. nigra 'Zheyin3#') × P. × beijingensis, and contributions of ploidy, gender, and genotype effects on the variation of these traits, were disaggregated to enhance our understanding of triploid breeding. We found a significant phenotypic variation for all measured traits among genotypes. All the wood and fiber traits studied here underwent strong clonal responses with high repeatabilities (0.55-0.76). The Pearson's correlation analyses based on the best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) revealed that BD was significantly positively correlated with FL (r = 0.65, p = 0.030), suggesting that BD could be improved together with FL during triploid breeding. The FL of the triploids was significantly larger than that of the diploids (p < 0.001), suggesting that ploidy strongly affected the variation of FL traits. The difference between females and males was not significant for any measured trait, implying that gender might not be a major factor for variation in these traits. Further analyses of variance components showed that genotype dominantly contributed to the variation of BD, LC, and FW traits (with 54, 62, and 53% contributions, respectively) and ploidy contributed strongly to variation in FL and FL/W (77 and 50%, respectively). The genetic coefficient of variation (CVG) of triploids for each trait was low, suggesting that it is necessary to produce many triploids for selection or to use different Populus species as parents. Our findings provide new insights into the genetic effects of ploidy, gender, and genotype on wood and fiber traits within a full-sib poplar family, enhancing the understanding of the triploid breeding program of Populus.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cutting propagation is widely used in establishing poplar plantations, and this approach requires efficient adventitious root (AR) forming capacities. Although poplar species are considered to form roots easily, interspecific variations in AR formation are still observed. To better understand the gene regulatory network underlying the conserved modified pathways that are essential for AR formation in poplar species, comparative transcriptomic approaches were applied to identify the conserved common genes that were differentially expressed during the AR formation processes in two poplar species (Populus × euramericana and P. simonii) in woody plant medium (WPM). A total of 2146 genes were identified as conserved genes that shared similar gene expression profiles in at least one comparison. These conserved genes were enriched in diverse hormone signaling pathways, as well as the mitogen-associated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, suggesting an important role for signaling transduction in coordinating external stimuli and endogenous physiological status during AR regulation in poplar. Furthermore, the co-expression network analysis of conserved genes allowed identification of several co-expressed modules (CM) that are co-expressed with distinct biological functions, for instance, CM1 was enriched in defense response and hormone signaling, CM2 and CM3 were overrepresented in defense response-related pathways and for cell cycle, respectively. These results suggest that the AR formation processes in poplar were finely tuned at the transcriptomic level by integrating multiple biological processes essential for AR formation. Our results suggest conserved machinery for AR formation in poplar and generated informative gene co-expression networks that describe the basis of AR formation in these species.
