Rice heading greatly depends on the accurate measurement of environment changes, particularly in day length and temperature. We discuss all genes reported to be related to the heading time in this review. The accumulation of florigen, such as Hd3a or RFT1, is the key factor for rice heading. Florigen is found in the rice leaf and then transports into the shoot apical meristem (SAM), where floral initiation occurs. We discuss the formation of florigen activation complex (FAC) with 14-3-3 and FD1 proteins to induce the expression of flowering genes. In addition, two key pathways related to heading date, GI-Hd1-Hd3a and Ghd7-Ehd1-Hd3a/RFT1 are introduced in this review. We summarize proteins with histone modification functions, due to the modification of histone is also significant for heading date. The flowering time also extremely dependent on the environments, including nutrient availability, abiotic and biotic stresses, we argue the phenotypes of rice heading date under different extreme environments, as well. Lastly, we gather genes that are reported having a change in heading time, but their detail molecular regulation is still elusive. Thus, this review introduces heading time systematically, providing knowledge and ideas for researchers to study further the phenotype of heading time.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"300 - 323"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45978493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approximately twenty years ago, these impacts and many of the mechanisms underlying invasion were crystallized in a pair of now-classic review papers on the topic. These two contributions have guided substantial research efforts over the past two decades. Here, using a state-of-the-art review, we present an overview of research progress from the past 20 years and identify research priorities for the next 20 years. We structure these insights around key themes that emerge from those earlier reviews and emphasize ways wetland invasions might be distinguished from plant invasions in uplands. We first highlight research progress and priorities around the impacts of wetland plant invasions. We then do the same for seven broad mechanisms that have been postulated to enhance invasion success in wetlands. Invasive plants clearly impact wetlands across all levels of ecological organization and up to landscape scales, but generalizable conclusions are still lacking concerning what drives variation in impact magnitudes. One of the key mechanisms underlying invasion success reflects site-level variation in resource availability and, although we know that increased resources often lead to more opportunities for invasion, the role of discrete resource pulses and the way resource availability may interact with propagule pressure variability are poorly understood. Second, although release from natural enemies is a long-held potential driver of invasion success, recent insights support speculation that these effects may be especially pronounced in wetlands. Third, although most invasive wetland plants are considered good competitors, their simultaneous role as stress tolerators raises questions about whether expectations regarding life history tradeoffs may be less applicable for wetland invaders than for the upland species around which these theories were designed. Fourth, despite a keen understanding that wetland plant invaders are opportunistic, establishing quickly in response to disturbance, the central importance of seed and seedling traits has not been adequately studied to integrate life history theory across ontogenetic stages. Fifth, although many invasive wetland plants reproduce both sexually and asexually, the extent to which this mixed strategy contributes to their success as invaders has not been rigorously assessed. Sixth, despite observations that wetland invaders often exhibit a high degree of phenotypic variability, causal connections between the success of wetland invaders and either high population genetic diversity or high phenotypic plasticity have not been clearly established. Lastly, despite long-standing interests in whether interspecific hybridization contributes to wetland invader success, recent studies have highlighted evolutionary processes leading to variation in polyploidy ","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"239 - 282"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46873205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway is well established and some key regulators controlling this pathway have been identified in a variety of species. In recent years, microRNAs, transcription factors, and external factors, including light, temperature and hormones have emerged as central regulators of a variety of secondary metabolic responses, including anthocyanin metabolism, as both plant self-regulatory factors and environmental signals that stimulate plant development. Many discoveries have begun to suggest gene/signal-gene modules to reveal the signaling pathways involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis during fruit ripening and the links between specific genes. This paper reviews the internal and external factors and associated network mechanisms that regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation in eudicots plants. miRNAs have different effects on the biosynthesis of anthocyanins in different species by binding to their target genes to form regulatory modules. The review also focuses on the conclusion that light signals (light quality, photoperiod, and light intensity) further regulate anthocyanin accumulation by binding to their corresponding photoreceptors (UVR8, CRYs, and PHYs) and affecting the binding and stabilization of the central regulators of the light pathway, such as COP1 and the transcription factor HY5. This article aims to provide a reference for future research on the regulation of anthocyanin by effective pathways, and to contribute to the selection of new varieties and the improvement of cultivation facilities.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"217 - 238"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43930598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Colletotrichum spp. constitute one of the top 10 phytopathogenic fungi, infecting ∼3,000 plant species, attacking food and forage legume crops at all growth stages; including seed, seedlings, young, and mature plants; with consequent significant yield reductions. Presently, cultural practices and substantial use of synthetic fungicides are the most prevalent approaches for anthracnose management. In addition, there has been a strong focus toward developing advanced breeding lines and cultivars with improved anthracnose resistance. This has involved traditional breeding resulting in a wide range of anthracnose resistance resources being identified, particularly using advanced techniques within the common bean, soybean, lentil, mungbean, blackgram, and lupins. For instance, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance have been identified, enabling marker-assisted resistance breeding. More recently, molecular approaches; including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics; have been utilized to understand the pathogenesis and defense mechanisms involved in the Colletotrichum-legume interaction. Genetic manipulation through omics offers scope to better protect legumes from anthracnose by improving the efficiency of breeding programs. This review focuses on key pathogens (viz., C. truncatum, C. lentis, C. lupini, and C. lindemuthianum) causing anthracnose in legumes, their biology, and epidemiology, the disease management levers embracing progress with host resistance, genetic and breeding approaches, and highlights critical knowledge gaps in conventional and molecular breeding programs. We conclude that the ongoing progress toward developing breeding lines/cultivars/donors with improved resistance in legume plant responses against anthracnose using omics approaches offers novel insights into legume-anthracnose pathogen interactions and ensures more sustainable and effective disease management strategies for the future.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"177 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45860379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In plants, investigations on the Mediator complex have gained pace recently. Several reports from Arabidopsis and other plants provide details of the structure and function of the Mediator complex/subunits. Plant Mediator complex subunits are encoded by multiple paralogous genes and form a complex network regulating diverse aspects of plant growth and development. Different subunits of the Mediator complex are shown to have diverse roles in shaping overall plant architecture and involve multiple hormonal signals. The critical role of the Mediator complex subunits is evident in both the vegetative and reproductive phases of plants. It also mediates metabolite homeostasis and non-coding RNA production. While functional conservation has been attributed to several subunits of the Mediator complex, diverse mechanistic aspects are also emerging. The integration of new knowledge greatly improves our understanding of the complexity of transcriptional control of different traits in plants.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"138 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44850615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we review classical and more recent evidence for the crop disease-protective effects of nitrogen and various chemical nitrogen forms. We conclude that simple general statements concerning disease-protective roles in agricultural environments remain elusive, although complex plant-soil microbial interaction networks are becoming increasingly understood.

We described how polyploidization caused strict genome modification at cytogenetic, genetic, and epigenetic levels with emphasis on the latest update on genome assembly of newly synthesized allopolyploids. Despite the success in creating new allopolyploids in many genera, it occasionally gave rise to undesirable traits to impact the utilization of newly synthetic allopolyploids. Recent developments in the de novo domestication of wild species through genome editing provide a route to create new crops to secure the global food supply. Following the strategy, de novo improvement of newly synthetic allopolyploids using genome editing could be galvanized to rapidly improve newly synthesized allopolyploids to meet agriculture demands and enable plant breeders to keep pace with global changes.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"53 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43256074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A strong link between low levels of Se and cancer and cardiac diseases has been proven. Thus, Se enrichment of crops has been established as a pioneering strategy to enhance Se intake by animals and humans. It has been proven that Se biofortification through a foliar application or in the growth medium has increased Se levels in plant tissues without loss of productivity or qualitative properties. However, to achieve the desirable level of Se and promote human health, Se accumulation in plants should be quantified and balanced because Se enrichment may affect their nutrient balance. This timely review provides a broad overview of the metabolic changes induced in plants by Se enrichment.
