However, our knowledge regarding the relationship between the genomic metrics used to predict maladaptation and actual fitness proxies in trees remains limited. Here, we present a population genomic analysis of 295 families from 28 provenances of <i>Eucalyptus pellita</i>, a widely cultivated fast-growing tree species, and conducted two common garden experiments. Genomic susceptibility encompassing individual heterozygosity (<i>H</i>), genomic inbreeding (<i>F</i><sub>ROH</sub>), and genomic load (inferred from deleterious mutations) exhibited distinct geographic patterns, shedding light on the origin and evolutionary history of <i>E. pellita</i>. The genetic basis of local adaptation was elucidated through genotype–environment associations and genome-wide association studies, including 198 loci associated with climate and 2388 loci regulating different traits. Furthermore, Australian provenances have higher genomic vulnerability under prospective climate alterations than Papua New Guinea and Indonesia provenances. By integrating phenotypic data across two common gardens, the relationship between leaf functional traits and predicted metrics of maladaptation was closer than growth attributes. Notably, pronounced natural selection signals linked to leaf morphogenesis have been identified by comparing two lineages spanning the oceans. This study underscores the immense potential of leveraging genomic susceptibility and genomic vulnerability to decipher the local (mal)adaptation of forest trees.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":233,"journal":{"name":"The Plant Journal","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144581960","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}

Herein, we found that an aquaporin gene <i>OsPIP2-1</i> was significantly expressed during rice seed germination. The <i>OsPIP2-1</i> overexpression seeds showed a higher germination rate, while the knockout lines showed a delayed germination phenotype, indicating that this gene positively regulates seed germination. Furthermore, in seeds of <i>OsPIP2-1</i> overexpression and knockout lines, the activity of α-amylase and the expression of its encoding genes, <i>OsAmy1C</i> and <i>OsAmy1E</i>, were respectively enhanced and suppressed. When <i>OsAmy3C</i> was knocked out in the <i>OsPIP2-1</i> overexpression lines, seed germination was significantly inhibited. Also, the germination of seeds with <i>OsAmy3C</i> knocked out in the wild-type background was delayed, and the expression level of <i>OsPIP2-1</i> in these seeds remained almost unchanged during germination, suggesting that <i>OsPIP2-1</i> is upstream of <i>OsAmy1C</i>. In addition, the ABA-biosynthesis genes <i>OsNCED2/3</i> were reduced in <i>OsPIP2-1</i> overexpression lines but raised in knockouts, while the ABA-catabolism gene <i>OsABA8ox1-3</i> exhibited the opposite trend. Moreover, we have also applied nanosilver, a potential inhibitor of aquaporins, which effectively delays rice seed germination. At the molecular level, the expression of <i>OsPIP2-1</i> in transcriptional and translational levels was significantly decreased by AgNPs. Meanwhile, the expression of α-amylase and its gene expression were also inhibited by AgNPs. In conclusion, <i>OsPIP2-1</i> positively regulates rice seed germination by regulating <i>OsAmy3C</i> and α-amylase. It can enhance seed germination vigor in direct-seeded rice cultivation. Nanosilver delays germination by affecting <i>OsPIP2-1</i> and α-amylase, thus offering a potential strategy for preventing preharvest sprouting.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":233,"journal":{"name":"The Plant Journal","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144573659","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}

Here, we characterize the essential roles of ARF10, ARF16, and ARF17 in the cytokinesis processes of meiosis and PMI. In the <i>arf10arf16arf17</i><sup><i>+/−</i></sup> mutant, the cell plate is abnormally deposited during PMI cytokinesis, resulting in irregular cell identity and pollen degeneration.

The expansion of ZEP family genes may contribute to the consistent increase in ABA levels under salt stress.
