Physiological, molecular, and morphological adjustment to waterlogging stress in ramie and selection of waterlogging-tolerant varieties. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 216:109101. [PMID: 39255614 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.109101] [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: 09/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024]
Abstract
Waterlogging stress is a severe abiotic challenge that impedes plant growth and development. Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.) is a Chinese traditional characteristic economic crop, valued for its fibers and by-products. To investigate the waterlogging tolerance of ramie and provide the scientific basis for selecting waterlogging-tolerant ramie varieties, this study examined the morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of 15 ramie germplasms (varieties) under waterlogging stress. The results revealed varied impacts of waterlogging stress across the 15 ramie varieties, characterized by a decrease in SPAD values, net photosynthesis rates, and relative water content of ramie leaves, along with a significant increase in relative conductivity and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, POD, CAT, and APX. Additionally, the levels of soluble sugars, soluble proteins, and free proline exhibited varying degrees of increase. Through Principal Component Analysis (PCA), ZZ_2 and ZSZ_1 were identified as relatively tolerant and susceptible varieties. Transcriptome analysis showed that the differential expressed genes between ZZ_2 and ZSZ_1 were significantly enriched in metabolic pathways, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, and inositol phosphate metabolism, under waterlogging stress. In addition, the expression of hypoxia-responsive genes was higher in ZZ_2 than in ZSZ_1 under waterlogging stress. These differences might account for the varied waterlogging responses between the two varieties. Therefore, this study explored the morpho-physiological responses of ramie under waterlogging stress and identified the molecular mechanisms involved, providing valuable insights for improving ramie varieties and breeding new ones.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 216:109133. [PMID: 39326225 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.109133] [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: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 09/14/2024] [Accepted: 09/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024]
Abstract
Waterlogging stress negatively affects plant growth and survival. However, the ability of Zanthoxylum armatum, a valuable tree species, to tolerate and adapt to waterlogging stress remains poorly understood. Here we report how alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (ZaADH1) confers waterlogging stress tolerance in Z. armatum. ZaADH1 expression was induced after waterlogging treatment. ZaADH1 overexpression increased waterlogging stress by modulating the metabolite levels of the ADH enzyme, soluble sugar, and trehalose, promoting glycolysis and carbohydrate metabolism. The overexpression of ZaADH1 in Arabidopsis thaliana increased the total plant area and chlorophyll content, thereby increasing resistance to waterlogging stress. Physiological and overexpression transcriptome analyses in A. thaliana indicated that ZaADH1 overexpressing lines generated more carbohydrates to meet energy demands, employing a "static" strategy to increase tolerance to waterlogging stress, which confirms the conservation of the ADH1 response to waterlogging stress and represents a potential crucial measure for improving waterlogging tolerance in Z. armatum.

Abstract
The dynamics of the physiological adaptability of plants and the rhizosphere soil environment after waterlogging remain unclear. Here we investigated the mechanisms regulating plant condition and shaping of the rhizosphere microbiome in a pot experiment. In the experiment, we added melatonin to waterlogged plants, which promoted waterlogging relief. The treatment significantly enhanced photosynthesis and the antioxidant capacity of apple plants, and significantly promoted nitrogen (N) utilization efficiency by upregulating genes related to N transport and metabolism. Multiperiod soil microbiome analysis showed the dynamic effects of melatonin on the diversity of the microbial community during waterlogging recovery. Random forest and linear regression analyses were used to screen for potential beneficial bacteria (e.g., Azoarcus, Pseudomonas and Nocardioides) specifically regulated by melatonin and revealed a positive correlation with soil nutrient levels and plant growth. Furthermore, metagenomic analyses revealed the regulatory effects of melatonin on genes involved in N cycling in soil. Melatonin positively contributed to the accumulation of plant dry weight by upregulating the expression of nifD and nifK (N fixation). In summary, melatonin positively regulates physiological functions in plants and the structure and function of the microbial community; it promoted the recovery of apple plants after waterlogging stress.

Abstract
Ramie is a valuable crop that produces high-quality fibers and holds promise in ecological management and potential therapeutic properties. The damage of submergence during the fertile period seriously affects the growth of ramie. This study used transcriptomics and UPLC-QTOF/MS-based lipidomics analysis to reveal the lipids remodeling and stress adaptation mechanism in ramie response to submergence. The results of subcellular distribution showed that lipids in ramie leaf cells mostly aggregate in the inter-chloroplast cytoplasm to form lipid droplets under submergence stress. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and lipidomics analysis showed that the composition and content of lipids in ramie leaves significantly changed under submergence stress, and the content of fatty acids (FAs) gradually accumulated with the extension of the submergence treatment time. Further analysis revealed that the content of 18:3 (n3) Coenzyme A (C18:3-CoA) increased significantly with the prolongation of submergence stress, and the exogenous addition of C18:3-CoA activated the expression of hypoxia-responsive marker genes such as BnADH1, BnPCO2, BnADH1, and BnPDC1. These results suggest that the ramie lipid metabolism pathways were significantly affected under submergence, and the C18:3-CoA may act directly or indirectly on the hypoxia-responsive genes to activate their transcriptional activities, thereby enhancing the tolerance of ramie to submergence stress.

Abstract
The importance of rootstock in citrus production lies in its crucial role in determining tree growth, environmental stress tolerance, and fruit quality. Citrus junos Siebold ex Tanaka cv. Shuzhen No. 1, a recently developed rootstock, demonstrates excellent graft compatibility and abiotic stress tolerance. The objective of this study was to assess ten hybrid citrus cultivars grafted onto two C. junos rootstock selections, with the aim of determining the potential for industrial utilization of the new citrus rootstock. All graft junctions are mature and well established. Vigorous growth characterized all ten citrus cultivars on Shuzhen No. 1, with the largest tree's height reaching 280.33 cm (Wogan scion) and the widest scion's diameter being 67.52 cm (Chunjian scion). However, the scion-to-rootstock diameter ratio was the lowest at 0.62 (Chunxiang scion). C. junos rootstock selections significantly affected fruit weight (five of ten scions) and fruit color (seven of ten scions) but had negligible impact on peel thickness (nine of ten scions). Furthermore, rootstock type had a significant influence on fruit quality. In conclusion, our findings indicate strong graft compatibility between all scions and C. junos rootstocks, which can impact overall size and fruit quality. Based on these results, Shuzhen No. 1 is recommended as a valuable citrus rootstock.

Comprehensive evaluation of morphological and physiological responses of seventeen Crassulaceae species to waterlogging and drainage under temperate monsoon climate. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 24:6.

Abstract
Unpredictable rainfall frequently results in excess moisture, which is detrimental to the landscape because it interferes with the genetic, morphological, and physiological processes of plants, even though the majority of urban landscapes frequently experience moisture shortages. A study was conducted to analyze the effects of a 36-day waterlogging phase and a subsequent 12-day recovery period on the morpho-physiological responses of 17 Crassulaceae species with the goal of identifying those which were more tolerant of the conditions. Results revealed that waterlogging stress has an impact on all morpho-physiological parameters. Sensitive materials (S7, Hylotelephium telephium 'Purple Emperor' and S15, S. sexangulare) showed severe ornamental quality damage, mortality, decreases in total dry biomass, root-shoot ratio, and chlorophyll content, as well as higher MDA concentrations. Lower reductions in these parameters, along with improved antioxidant enzyme activities and greater recovery capabilities after drainage, were observed in the most tolerant materials S2 (H. spectabile 'Brilliant'), S3 (H. spectabile 'Carl'), and S5 (H. telephium 'Autumn Joy'). Furthermore, with the exception of early death materials (S7 and S15), all materials showed varying intensities of adventitious root formation in response to waterlogging. The 17 species were divided into 4 clusters based on the comprehensive evaluation value. The first group included S1-S3, S5-S6, S8-S12, which were waterlogged tolerant with the highest values (0.63-0.82). S14 belongs to the intermediate waterlogging tolerant. S4, S13, S16, and S17 were clustered into the low waterlogging-tolerant group. S7 and S15 were the most susceptible to waterlogging. The survival and success of Crassulaceae species (especially, the first and second cluster), throughout this prolonged period of waterlogging (36 days) and recovery were attributed to a combination of physiological and morphological responses, indicating that they are an appealing species for the creation of rain gardens or obstructed drainage locations.
