Abstract
Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to respond to the absorption and transport of external substances. Transcription factors (TFs) play pivotal roles in regulating the expression of genes involved in the transport of various substances in plants. However, how TFs coordinate the initiation of key transcriptional networks involved in cellular localization/transport in response to pesticide uptake and translocation in rice remains largely unclear.
In this study, we report OsMADS55 (SVP-group MADS-box transcription factor 55), a membrane-anchored TF that interacts with the thiamethoxam (THX) transporter OsATL15 at the plasma membrane (PM) and acts as a negative regulator. The OsMADS55 mutant enhances the uptake and translocation of THX, thereby improving brown planthopper control.
Interestingly, we found that upon exposure to THX, OsMADS55 translocates from the PM to the nucleus, where it dissociates from OsATL15, thereby increasing the availability of OsATL15 at the membrane to facilitate THX uptake.
Our results uncovered a mechanistic framework underlying the OsMADS55-OsATL15 module that precisely controls the uptake and translocation of THX, providing insights for improved pest management and reduced dependence on pesticides.
期刊介绍:
New Phytologist is an international electronic journal published 24 times a year. It is owned by the New Phytologist Foundation, a non-profit-making charitable organization dedicated to promoting plant science. The journal publishes excellent, novel, rigorous, and timely research and scholarship in plant science and its applications. The articles cover topics in five sections: Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology. These sections encompass intracellular processes, global environmental change, and encourage cross-disciplinary approaches. The journal recognizes the use of techniques from molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches in plant science. Abstracting and Indexing Information for New Phytologist includes Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, Agroforestry Abstracts, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index, Botanical Pesticides, CAB Abstracts®, Environment Index, Global Health, and Plant Breeding Abstracts, and others.
