Abstract
Temperature elevation drastically affects plant defense responses to Ralstonia solanacearum and inhibits the major source of resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana, which is mediated by the receptor pair RRS1-R/RPS4. In this study, we refined a previous genome-wide association (GWA) mapping analysis by using a local score approach and detected the primary cell wall CESA3 gene as a major gene involved in plant response to R. solanacearum at both 27°C and an elevated temperature, 30°C. We functionally validated CESA3 as a susceptibility gene involved in resistance to R. solanacearum at both 27 and 30°C through a reverse genetic approach. We provide evidence that the cesa3mre1 mutant enhances resistance to bacterial disease and that resistance is associated with an alteration of root cell morphology conserved at elevated temperatures. However, even by forcing the entry of the bacterium to bypass the primary cell wall barrier, the cesa3mre1 mutant still showed enhanced resistance to R. solanacearum with delayed onset of bacterial wilt symptoms. We demonstrated that the cesa3mre1 mutant had constitutive expression of the defense-related gene VSP1, which is upregulated at elevated temperatures, and that during infection, its expression level is maintained higher than in the wild-type Col-0. In conclusion, this study reveals that alteration of the primary cell wall by mutating the cellulose synthase subunit CESA3 contributes to enhanced resistance to R. solanacearum, remaining effective under heat stress. We expect that these results will help to identify robust genetic sources of resistance to R. solanacearum in the context of global warming. [Formula: see text] Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).

Abstract
A lactic acid/chlorine chloride-based deep eutectic solvent (DES) was used for the extraction of high-purity lignin (up to 94.7 %) in high yield (up to 75 %) from the hydrolysis/fermentation residue corn stover hydrolysate (CSH), which was generated from a pilot-plant-scale biorefinery. A range of extraction conditions were investigated, which involved varying reaction temperature, time, and DES composition. The relationship between lignin yield, purity, and structural characteristics with DES treatment conditions was determined. The extraction of high-purity lignin from hydrolysis/fermentation residues presents a promising approach for enhancing the economic feasibility of a lignocellulose biorefinery. It was also determined that DES extraction can produce lignin with a controlled range of molecular weight and functional group content.

Implementing the CRISPR/Cas9 Technology in Eucalyptus Hairy Roots Using Wood-Related Genes. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21103408. [PMID: 32408486 PMCID: PMC7279396 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21103408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2020] [Revised: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 05/08/2020] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Eucalypts are the most planted hardwoods worldwide. The availability of the Eucalyptus grandis genome highlighted many genes awaiting functional characterization, lagging behind because of the lack of efficient genetic transformation protocols. In order to efficiently generate knock-out mutants to study the function of eucalypts genes, we implemented the powerful CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology with the hairy roots transformation system. As proofs-of-concept, we targeted two wood-related genes: Cinnamoyl-CoA Reductase1 (CCR1), a key lignin biosynthetic gene and IAA9A an auxin dependent transcription factor of Aux/IAA family. Almost all transgenic hairy roots were edited but the allele-editing rates and spectra varied greatly depending on the gene targeted. Most edition events generated truncated proteins, the prevalent edition types were small deletions but large deletions were also quite frequent. By using a combination of FT-IR spectroscopy and multivariate analysis (partial least square analysis (PLS-DA)), we showed that the CCR1-edited lines, which were clearly separated from the controls. The most discriminant wave-numbers were attributed to lignin. Histochemical analyses further confirmed the decreased lignification and the presence of collapsed vessels in CCR1-edited lines, which are characteristics of CCR1 deficiency. Although the efficiency of editing could be improved, the method described here is already a powerful tool to functionally characterize eucalypts genes for both basic research and industry purposes.
