Abstract
8:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid (8:2 FTSA) has been commonly detected in the environment, but its behaviors in plants are not sufficiently known. Here, the regular and multi-omics analyses were used to comprehensively investigate the bioaccumulation, biotransformation, and toxicity of 8:2 FTSA in Arabidopsis thaliana. Our results demonstrated that 8:2 FTSA was taken up by A. thaliana roots and translocated to leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds. 8:2 FTSA could be successfully biotransformed to several intermediates and stable perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) catalyzed by plant enzymes. The plant revealed significant growth inhibition and oxidative damage under 8:2 FTSA exposure. Metabolomics analysis showed that 8:2 FTSA affected the porphyrin and secondary metabolisms, resulting in the promotion of plant photosynthesis and antioxidant capacity. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were related to transformation and transport processes. Integrative transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis revealed that DEGs and differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) in plants were predominantly enriched in the carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism pathways, resulting in greater energy consumption, generation of more nonenzymatic antioxidants, alteration of the cellular membrane composition, and inhibition of plant development. This study provides the first insights into the molecular mechanisms of 8:2 FTSA stress response in plants.

Wu K, Liang X, Zhang X, Yang G, Wang H, Xia Y, Ishfaq S, Ji H, Qi Y, Guo W. Metabolomics analysis reveals enhanced salt tolerance in maize through exogenous Valine-Threonine-Isoleucine-Aspartic acid application. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1374142. [PMID: 38828222 PMCID: PMC11140139 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1374142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
Salt stress is a well-known abiotic constraint that hampers crop productivity, affecting more than 424 million hectares of topsoil worldwide. Applying plant growth regulators externally has proven effective in enhancing crop resilience to salt stress. Previous metabolomics studies revealed an accumulation of Valine-Threonine-Isoleucine-Aspartic acid (VTID) in salt-stressed maize seedlings, suggesting its potential to assist maize adaptation to salt stress. To explore the effectiveness of VTID in enhancing salt tolerance in maize, 10 nM VTID was applied to salt-stressed maize seedlings. The results showed a remarkable 152.29% increase in plant height and a 122.40% increase in fresh weight compared to salt-stressed seedlings. Moreover, the addition of VTID enhanced the activity of antioxidant enzymes, specifically superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), while reducing the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of oxidative stress. Additionally, VTID supplementation resulted in a significant increase in osmoregulatory substances such as proline. Metabolomic analysis revealed substantial changes in the metabolite profile of maize seedlings when treated with VTID during salt stress. Differential metabolites (DMs) analysis revealed that the identified DMs primarily belonged to lipids and lipid-like molecules. The receiver operating characteristic curve and linear regression analysis determined a correlation between isodolichantoside and the height of maize seedlings under salt-stress conditions. In conclusion, these findings validate that VTID effectively regulates tolerance in maize seedlings and offers valuable insights into the potential of short peptides for mitigating salt stress.

DEAD-Box RNA Helicase Family in Physic Nut ( Jatropha curcas L.): Structural Characterization and Response to Salinity. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:905. [PMID: 38592921 PMCID: PMC10974417 DOI: 10.3390/plants13060905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
Helicases, motor proteins present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, play a direct role in various steps of RNA metabolism. Specifically, SF2 RNA helicases, a subset of the DEAD-box family, are essential players in plant developmental processes and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Despite this, information on this family in the physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) remains limited, spanning from structural patterns to stress responses. We identified 79 genes encoding DEAD-box RNA helicases (JcDHX) in the J. curcas genome. These genes were further categorized into three subfamilies: DEAD (42 genes), DEAH (30 genes), and DExH/D (seven genes). Characterization of the encoded proteins revealed a remarkable diversity, with observed patterns in domains, motifs, and exon-intron structures suggesting that the DEAH and DExH/D subfamilies in J. curcas likely contribute to the overall versatility of the family. Three-dimensional modeling of the candidates showed characteristic hallmarks, highlighting the expected functional performance of these enzymes. The promoter regions of the JcDHX genes revealed potential cis-elements such as Dof-type, BBR-BPC, and AP2-ERF, indicating their potential involvement in the response to abiotic stresses. Analysis of RNA-Seq data from the roots of physic nut accessions exposed to 150 mM of NaCl for 3 h showed most of the JcDHX candidates repressed. The protein-protein interaction network indicated that JcDHX proteins occupy central positions, connecting events associated with RNA metabolism. Quantitative PCR analysis validated the expression of nine DEAD-box RNA helicase transcripts, showing significant associations with key components of the stress response, including RNA turnover, ribosome biogenesis, DNA repair, clathrin-mediated vesicular transport, phosphatidyl 3,5-inositol synthesis, and mitochondrial translation. Furthermore, the induced expression of one transcript (JcDHX44) was confirmed, suggesting that it is a potential candidate for future functional analyses to better understand its role in salinity stress tolerance. This study represents the first global report on the DEAD-box family of RNA helicases in physic nuts and displays structural characteristics compatible with their functions, likely serving as a critical component of the plant's response pathways.

Abstract
Silk gland size in silkworms (Bombyx mori) affects silk output. However, the molecular mechanisms by which genes regulate silk gland size remain unclear. In this study, silk glands from three pure silkworm strains (A798, A306 and XH) with different silk gland weight phenotypes were compared using transcriptomics and proteomics to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and proteins (DEPs). When comparing A798 to A306 and A798 to XH, 830 and 469 DEGs were up-regulated, respectively. These genes were related to the gene ontology terms, metabolic process, transport activity and biosynthesis process. In addition, 372 and 302 up-regulated differentially expressed proteins were detected in A798 to A306 and A798 to XH, respectively, related to the gene ontology terms, ribosome and protein export, ribosome and polypeptide biosynthesis processes. Moreover, combined transcriptomics, proteomics and weighted correlation network analyses showed that five genes (BGIBMGA002524, BGIBMGA002629, BGIBMGA005659, BGIBMGA005711 and BGIBMGA010889) were significantly associated with the silk gland weight. Reverse Transcription-quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) and Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to verify the mRNA and protein expression of five genes in the silk glands and tissues of 18 silkworm strains. The results showed that four genes have higher expression levels in heavier silk glands. These genes are associated with glycogen metabolism, fatty acid synthesis and branched chain amino acid metabolism, thus potentially promoting growth and silk protein synthesis. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the relationship between silk gland weight and silk yield in silkworms.

Abstract
Maize is the most important cereal crop globally. However, in recent years, maize production faced numerous challenges from environmental factors due to the changing climate. Salt stress is among the major environmental factors that negatively impact crop productivity worldwide. To cope with salt stress, plants developed various strategies, such as producing osmolytes, increasing antioxidant enzyme activity, maintaining reactive oxygen species homeostasis, and regulating ion transport. This review provides an overview of the intricate relationships between salt stress and several plant defense mechanisms, including osmolytes, antioxidant enzymes, reactive oxygen species, plant hormones, and ions (Na+, K+, Cl-), which are critical for salt tolerance in maize. It addresses the regulatory strategies and key factors involved in salt tolerance, aiming to foster a comprehensive understanding of the salt tolerance regulatory networks in maize. These new insights will also pave the way for further investigations into the significance of these regulations in elucidating how maize coordinates its defense system to resist salt stress.

Abstract
Amino acids are building blocks of proteins that are essential components of a wide range of metabolic pathways in plant species, including rice species. Previous studies only considered changes in the amino acid content of rice under NaCl stress. Here, we evaluated profiles of essential and non-essential amino acids in four rice genotype seedlings in the presence of three types of salts, namely NaCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2. Amino acid profiles in 14-day-old rice seedlings were determined. The total essential and non-essential amino acid contents in cultivar Cheongcheong were considerably increased upon NaCl and MgCl2 application, whereas total amino acids were increased upon NaCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2 application in the cultivar Nagdong. The total amino acid content was significantly lower in the salt-sensitive cultivar IR28 and salt-tolerant Pokkali under different salt stress conditions. Glycine was not detected in any of the rice genotypes. We observed that cultivars with the same origin respond similarly to each other under salinity stress conditions: cultivars Cheongcheong and Nagdong were found to show increased total amino acid content, whereas the content in foreign cultivars IR28 and Pokkali was found to decrease. Thus, our findings showed that the amino acid profile of each rice cultivar might depend on the origin, immune level, and genetic makeup of the respective cultivar.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cadmium (Cd) stress is a significant threat to soybean production, and enhancing Cd tolerance in soybean is the focus of this study. The WRKY transcription factor family is associated with abiotic stress response processes. In this study, we aimed to identify a Cd-responsive WRKY transcription factor GmWRKY172 from soybean and investigate its potential for enhancing Cd tolerance in soybean. METHODS The characterization of GmWRKY172 involved analyzing its expression pattern, subcellular localization, and transcriptional activity. To assess the impact of GmWRKY172, transgenic Arabidopsis and soybean plants were generated and examined for their tolerance to Cd and Cd content in shoots. Additionally, transgenic soybean plants were evaluated for Cd translocation and various physiological stress indicators. RNA sequencing was performed to identify the potential biological pathways regulated by GmWRKY172. RESULTS GmWRKY172 was significantly upregulated by Cd stress, highly expressed in leaves and flowers, and localized to the nucleus with transcriptional activity. Transgenic plants overexpressing GmWRKY172 showed enhanced Cd tolerance and reduced Cd content in shoots compared to WT. Lower Cd translocation from roots to shoots and seeds was also observed in transgenic soybean. Under Cd stress, transgenic soybean accumulated less malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) than WT plants, with higher flavonoid and lignin contents, and peroxidase (POD) activity. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that many stress-related pathways were regulated by GmWRKY172 in transgenic soybean, including flavonoid biosynthesis, cell wall synthesis, and peroxidase activity. DISCUSSION Our findings demonstrated that GmWRKY172 enhances Cd tolerance and reduces seed Cd accumulation in soybean by regulating multiple stress-related pathways, and could be a promising candidate for breeding Cd-tolerant and low Cd soybean varieties.
