Our previous work demonstrated that the pepper bZIP transcription factor CaADBZ1 regulates abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and drought stress responses. However, the regulatory factors controlling CaADBZ1 protein stability remain unknown. Here, we performed a yeast two-hybrid assay to identify the E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in regulating CaADBZ1 stability. The pepper RING-type E3 ligase CaAIAR1 (Capsicum annuum ABA-Induced Ankyrin repeat RING-type E3 ligase 1) interacts with CaADBZ1 both in vitro and in vivo. CaAIAR1 ubiquitinates CaADBZ1 and exhibits E3 ligase activity that depends on its RING domain. A cell-free degradation assay revealed that CaADBZ1 was unstable under non-stress conditions, and CaAIAR1 accelerated its degradation via the 26S proteasome pathway. CaAIAR1 expression was significantly induced by various abiotic stresses and was associated with altered phenotypic responses to drought stress and exogenous ABA treatment. Moreover, CaAIAR1-silenced pepper plants exhibited enhanced drought tolerance compared to control plants, as evidenced by reduced transpiration rates and increased ABA sensitivity in leaves. Conversely, CaAIAR1-overexpressing Arabidopsis plants showed decreased drought tolerance compared to control plants and exhibited reduced ABA sensitivity at the seedling stage. In addition, co-silencing CaAIAR1 and CaADBZ1 increased drought sensitivity, producing a phenotype opposite to that of CaAIAR1 silencing alone, indicating that CaAIAR1 functions upstream of CaADBZ1 in drought stress. Collectively, our findings suggest that CaAIAR1 negatively regulates the drought response and ABA signaling by modulating CaADBZ1 protein stability.</p>","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149219691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite extensive methylation remodelling across transposable elements, genes and intergenic regions, we observe a genome-wide decoupling between DNA methylation dynamics and transcriptional output. Notably, differentially methylated regions are enriched in transcription factor binding sites, particularly GATA motifs, linking CHH hypomethylation to increased chromatin accessibility and activation of GATA-associated regulatory networks. In contrast, nuclear mitochondrial DNA insertions represent a notable exception, where CHH hypomethylation is directly coupled to transcriptional activation.

Although proton-pyrophosphatase (Type I H&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;-pyrophosphatase, VP1, H&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;-PPases) plays critical roles in plant responses to abiotic stresses, the molecular mechanisms underlying its function in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under low-phosphorus (LP) stress remain largely unexplored. Elymus dahuricus, a wild forage grass species, exhibits notable resistance to diverse environmental stresses. In the present study, a VP1-like gene from Elymus dahuricus (EdVP1) was introduced into wild-type (WT) wheat cultivar Shimai366 (SHI366). Two-year field trials conducted under LP conditions demonstrated that overexpression of EdVP1 significantly increased spike number per meter, grain yield, phosphorus harvest index (PHI), and phosphorus use efficiency (PUE). Specifically, transgenic lines OE13 and OE28 exhibited average yield increases of 14.25% and 15.65%, respectively, relative to WT plants over two consecutive years, accompanied by improved photosynthetic rates and chlorophyll content during the grain-filling stage. Additionally, P concentrations in the roots of transgenic lines were significantly elevated compared to SHI366. Subsequent assays under phosphorus-deficient conditions confirmed substantial improvements in both biomass accumulation and root system architecture (RSA) in the transgenic lines. Physiological analyses further demonstrated reduced accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhanced activities of antioxidant enzymes in these lines. Collectively, these findings indicate that the VP1 gene from Elymus dahuricus markedly enhances wheat tolerance to P deficiency. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms of VP1-like genes in wheat, the endogenous plasma membrane (PM) H&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;-PPases gene TaVP1 (TraesCS7D02G507600), which exhibits the closest evolutionary relationship and highest sequence homology with EdVP1 among grass species, was identified and found to be upregulated in EdVP1 transgenic wheat. TaVP1 expression was predominantly localized in roots and was strongly induced by P-deficient and auxin (IAA) treatment. Notably, auxin levels were significantly increased in the roots of transgenic lines, concomitant with upregulated expression of the auxin influx carrier gene TaAUX1 (TraesCS3B02G401000). Both in vivo and in vitro assays demonstrated a direct interaction between TaVP1 and TaAUX1 at the plasma membrane. Furthermore, factors associated with downstream auxin transport and response, along with the key phosphate starvation transcription factor TaPHR1, exhibit an upregulated expression pattern in the transgenic lines.

Mooney","doi":"10.1111/tpj.71158","DOIUrl":"10.1111/tpj.71158","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;In dense vegetation, plants fiercely compete with their neighbours for sunlight. Shade-avoiding species like &lt;i&gt;Arabidopsis thaliana&lt;/i&gt; respond to vegetative shade with a series of adaptations collectively known as shade-avoidance syndrome (SAS). SAS includes the elongation of hypocotyls and stems alongside upward leaf movement and a decrease in leaf blade area. These responses enable plants to grow beyond their neighbour's shadow and regain access to light (Casal, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leaves primarily absorb red (R) light while reflecting far-red (FR) wavelengths. Plants detect vegetative shade by monitoring the ratio of R:FR light using the photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB) (Reed et al., &lt;span&gt;1993&lt;/span&gt;). When red light is abundant, the active ‘Pfr’ conformation of phyB translocates to the nucleus where it promotes the phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR (PIF) transcription factors. In shade (when R:FR &lt; 1), phyB is maintained in the cytosol in an inactive ‘Pr’ state, allowing PIFs to accumulate and drive the expression of genes that promote SAS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PIF7 has emerged as the central regulator of the shade avoidance response (Li et al., &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;). Its regulatory activity is partly controlled by reversible phosphorylation. Under white light, both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms co-exist. Phosphorylated PIF7 is restricted to the cytoplasm, while the unphosphorylated form accumulates in the nucleus. However, nuclear phyB sequesters PIF7 in condensates leading to the suppression of its DNA-binding activity. In shade, PIF7 is largely dephosphorylated. Coupled with the exclusion of inactive phyB from the nucleus, this enables PIF7 to activate the transcription of auxin biosynthesis and signalling genes, thereby promoting SAS-related elongation. Despite the importance of this PIF7 phosphorylation switch, the enzymes responsible for its regulation have remained unknown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Professor Enamul Huq at The University of Texas at Austin investigates how plants perceive and respond to light. Considering his group's long-standing interest in phytochromes and PIFs, elucidating the regulation of PIF7 was a natural progression. In their new study, Huq's group revealed that phosphatase PP2A dephosphorylates PIF7 to promote shade avoidance (Cai et al., &lt;span&gt;2026&lt;/span&gt;). This work also included a collaboration with researchers specialising in phosphatase biology at Hebei Normal University, the previous home of first author Xingbo Cai.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PP2A is a heterotrimeric phosphatase comprising scaffold (A), regulatory (B) and catalytic (C) subunits. The Arabidopsis genome encodes 17 B subunit isoforms which are responsible for substrate specificity and subcellular localisation. Huq's group recently identified four PP2A B subunits that dephosphorylate another PIF family member, PIF3 (Cai et al., &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;).
