Polyploidy occupies an important position in angiosperm evolution, as a key factor that shapes plant biodiversity, growth vigor, environmental adaptation, and emerging chemical compounds. In this review, we outlined the development and application of creating new allopolyploids using sexual and asexual approaches and their potential benefits and problems. 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":null,"pages":null},"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}

However, much attention has been devoted to its important role in human health since Se enrichment affects the production of primary and secondary metabolites. 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. Additionally, it highlights the contrasting effects of Se biofortification on the up-and-down-regulation of several secondary metabolites including phenolics, flavonoids, and their derivatives, as well as glucosinolates.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42992295","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 provide a synopsis of the evolutionary history of Gossypium and domestication of the American allopolyploid species, integrating data from fundamental taxonomic investigations, biogeography, molecular genetics, phylogenetic analysis, and archaeology. These diverse sources of information provide a temporal and phylogenetic perspective on diversification among the diploids and on polyploid formation, uncover multiple previously cryptic interspecific hybridizations, clarify and contribute to the taxonomy of the genus, and offer a firm foundation for understanding parallel domestications in Mesoamerica and South America, which led to the globally important cotton crop species G. barbadense and G. hirsutum. Gossypium thus offers a testimonial example of the importance and utility of fundamental botanical discovery combined with modern technological capabilities to generate genomic insights into evolutionary history. We also review the current state of our knowledge regarding the archaeological history of cotton domestication and diffusion in the Americas, a seemingly unlikely story entailing parallel domestication origins and parallel directional selection tracing to 8,000 (G. barbadense) and 5,500 (G. hirsutum) years ago, transforming two geographically isolated wild short-day perennial shrubs having small capsules and seeds covered by short, tan-colored epidermal trichomes into modern daylength-neutral annuals bearing abundant, fine, strong white fibers. This dual domestication was followed several millennia later by unintentional and more recently intentional interspecific introgression, as the two species came into contact following their initial domestication in different hemispheres. Thus, the cycle of species divergence and biological reunion was reiterated, this time at the allopolyploid level. Understanding this evolutionary history is vitally important to our understanding of the genomic architecture of the world’s most important fiber plant and contributes substantially to our understanding of general biological principles.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42118507","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}

They attack more than 10, 000 plant species, and can be found mainly in temperate and sub-tropical zones. This review evaluates the effects of most important abiotic conditions on powdery mildew namely temperature, humidity, light quality, air composition (mainly CO2 and ozone concentration) and movement. With the most intensively studied factors, temperature and humidity, powdery mildew species vary in their requirements, this variation occurring in different phases of their life cycle. Generally, temperatures between 13 and 30 °C were optimal for their development, with conidial germination being the least and sporulation the most affected part of the life cycle and lower marginal temperatures only prolonging the latent period. The role of moisture in their development is more elusive; free moisture inhibits dispersal and germination of conidia and extension of hyphae of most powdery mildews. However, for further development high relative humidity is preferred and free water is required for release and dispersal of ascospores. Light most affects the pathogen indirectly through its effect on the host. Although germination and appressorial maturation is possible under low illumination and darkness, light is needed for completion of the disease cycle. A suitable photoperiod (alternating day and night) favors optimal development, e.g., continuous light reduces infection. The effect of CO2 concentration is complex; sometimes an increased concentration of CO2 causes more intensive disease, sometimes less or no effect at all. Most environmental factors also affect the host thus affecting the pathogen indirectly; other factors (e.g. UV or CO2) mainly directly affect the pathogen. Hypotheses on the possible effect of predicted climate change on pathosystems are discussed.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49312113","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 the region, continuing land use is occurring and has caused a significant soil organic carbon (SOC) loss. We estimated the SOC reduction in three representative ecosystems of the region: forests (4.21 petagrams of carbon, Pg C, over 30 years), grasslands (1.86−7.32 Pg C, over different periods) and mangroves (0.36 Pg C over 25 years). Increasing SOC stocks in agricultural lands can help to mitigate the SOC loss due to land use change, but multiple factors influence the dynamics and response of the agricultural production and carbon sequestration. Farmers are pivotal actors that contribute to food production and could maintain SOC stocks; however, incentives or fair compensation must be considered to enable this. Moreover, national, and continental policies are needed for land restoration and sustainable management of soil health as a living entity through adoption of nature-positive practices which enhance soil organic matter (SOM) stocks, increase use-efficiency of inputs, and lead to nutrition-sensitive agriculture.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43748658","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}

All investigated carnivorous plant species assimilate carbon dioxide using the C3 pathway, with the rate of photosynthesis (AN) being lower in comparison to noncarnivorous species. The reasons for low AN in carnivorous plants are (i) low nitrogen and phosphorus content in the soil and leaves and (ii) the cost of carnivory in their modified leaves (called traps). The cost of carnivory includes several anatomical, ultrastructural, and biochemical adaptations of traps, which favor nutrient uptake from prey over photosynthetic assimilation. However, after digestion, nutrient uptake from the prey can increase AN, growth, and reproduction. In carnivorous plants with active trapping mechanisms, spatiotemporal changes in AN and respiration rate (RD) occur during prey capture and digestion, owing to the interplay of electrical and hormonal signaling. Approximately 7.5% of carnivorous plants are aquatic plants, with demands for survival being different from those of terrestrial plants. The alternative mode of nutrition in carnivorous plants is reflected in their plastid genomes, which resemble the reduced plastomes of parasitic and mycoheterotrophic plants.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48185548","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 the past decades, conventional breeding cum marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been deployed widely to develop modern tomato cultivars with desirable agronomic traits, market classes, and consumer preferences. The rapid developments in sequencing technologies with the reduced costs per sample, high-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping platforms, and bioinformatics tools have revolutionized crop improvement programs, and deciphered the tomato genome sequence in 2012. Since then thousands of cultivated, its close relatives, and wild species have been genome resequenced to analyze structural variants population structure, genetic diversity, high-density map construction so on. Further, tomato pan-genomes have been constructed to search genomics regions associated with agronomic traits to expedite the breeding process. Importantly, genomics-assisted research has begun in tomatoes with the identification of genes, and SNP markers associated with phenotypic variation by applying genome resequencing, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using SNP array, and genotyping-by-sequencing techniques. Further, the genomic selection (GS) method is expected to increase breeding efficiency and genetic gain rapidly.

However, the diversity of plants colonized and the extent of colonization by this fungus have not been summarized comprehensively across all plant species. To fill this knowledge gap, a meta-analysis of published studies (years 2002–2018) on the percentage of B. bassiana plant colonization across the plant kingdom was conducted. We collected 232 published papers from which 1,051 studies (individual treatments) were extracted and analyzed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis, Version 3 (CMA) software. Factors (n = 26) influencing plant colonization by B. bassiana were identified. Across all studies, the mean endophytic colonization of B. bassiana was 29% in different plant taxa. Plant colonization by B. bassiana was highest for isolates collected from insects. Most studies applied B. bassiana at 1 × 108 conidia/ml; however, plant colonization was greatest with an application rate of 1 × 1012 conidia/ml. Among all plant hosts, colonization percentage was highest in faba bean, plants in the family Brassicaceae, angiosperms (eudicots, annuals), plants classified with a forb/herb/vine growth habit, and plants with fibrous or tap root systems. As an inoculant, B. bassiana was most frequently applied to the whole plant after true leaves had developed. The foliar spray was the most studied inoculation method, but the application of solid grain substrate to foliage gave higher plant colonization. Studies conducted in controlled environments resulted in higher endophytic colonization with B. bassiana than field studies. Endophytic B. bassiana presence was confirmed primarily with microscopy, rather than molecular methods. High heterogeneity (I 2 = 97%) across studies was identified with large variability in endophytic B. bassiana colonization across a diversity of plant species. These findings increase our understanding and knowledge of the endophytic lifestyle of B. bassiana, which will facilitate the development of novel, sustainable, and eco-friendly disease management strategies with B. bassiana.","PeriodicalId":10854,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41461445","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}
