In this experiment, we investigated the differences in physiological responses and salt (NaCl) tolerance thresholds between salt-tolerant ('Xinluzao 53') and salt-sensitive ('Xinluzao 60') varieties of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum ). Peroxidase activity of 'Xinluzao 53' and 'Xinluzao 60' increased by 29.37% and 59.35%, compared with the control, respectively. Catalase activity of 'Xinluzao 53' and 'Xinluzao 60' was 101.00% and 61.59% higher than that of the control, respectively. Overall increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the leaves of 'Xinluzao 53' was less than 'Xinluzao 60', which was lower in 'Xinluzao 53' than 'Xinluzao 60' under the salt treatments of 8g kg-1 (32.59% lower) and 10g kg-1 (35.27% lower). Net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of 'Xinluzao 60' was reduced by 13.31%, 22.83%, and 21.52% compared to 'Xinluzao 53' at salt concentrations of 2, 8, and 10g kg-1 , respectively. 'Xinluzao 53' protected the cell membrane structure by maintaining higher antioxidant enzyme activities, lower MDA content, and electrolyte leakage under salt stress. Higher SPAD values, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and photosynthetic rates were further maintained to safeguard normal physiological metabolism and photosynthetic system, higher salt tolerance than 'Xinluzao 60'. The orrelation analysis and quadratic regression equation established an integrated, comprehensive, and reliable screening method for cotton seedling salt tolerance threshold in combination with the actual growth of seedlings.

A total of 36 CaMs/CMLs were identified and found to be randomly dispersed over the 11 chromosomes of Citrullus lanatus (watermelon). Domain analysis verified the presence of characteristic four EF-hand domains in ClCaM proteins and 2-4 EF-hand domains in ClCML proteins. Most of the ClCML genes were intron-less, but all the ClCaM had introns. In the promoter region, 11% of the cis -regulatory elements were identified belonging to abiotic stress. Collinearity analysis suggested that the ClCaM/ClCML gene family expanded due to segmental duplications. Synteny analysis of 36 ClCaM/CML exhibited 31 pairs of collinearity with Arabidopsis thaliana . Twelve miRNAs were predicted to target one ClCaM and eleven ClCML genes. Analysis by real time quantitative PCR indicated all genes expressed under abiotic treatments. Among the analysed genes, ClCML1 is the most highly expressed gene, especially under cold stress, suggesting its strong involvement in stress response mechanisms. ClCML5 and ClCML27 showed consistent upregulation under salt and drought stresses, highlighting their potential roles in the salt and drought tolerance mechanism.

However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon are still largely unexplored. To address this issue, we performed RNA-seq meta-analysis using a P -value combination approach to identify key molecular signaling pathways associated with heterosis in root and bud tissues of hybrid and parental lines. In addition, the regulatory miRNA-transcription factor (TF) gene interactions associated with heterosis were further constructed and dissected. This comprehensive analysis identified 591 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that were consistently observed in all datasets. In particular, 435 root-specific, 130 bud-specific, and 159 shared meta-DEGs were identified, revealing the intricate interplay between tissue-specific and shared molecular pathways. Functional enrichment analysis of identified meta-DEGs highlighted critical roles of specific biological processes, including circadian rhythm regulation and water transport, alongside essential metabolic pathways such as glutathione metabolism, and starch and sucrose metabolism in the heterosis phenomenon. Genes pivotal to growth and development, such as GhFT (flowering regulation), GhXTH9 (cell wall modification), and GhSUS4 (energy storage), were identified as key players in the heterosis phenomenon in cotton. The associations between several miRNA-TF-gene interaction networks such as Ghi -miR164-NAC and Ghi -miR166-HD-ZIP as heterosis driving regulatory interactions were highlighted by systems level analysis. This study provides a comprehensive framework for dissection of transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying heterosis in cotton and offers new insights for targeted breeding strategies to improve the performance of hybrids in modern cotton breeding programs.","PeriodicalId":12483,"journal":{"name":"Functional Plant Biology","volume":"52 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144181783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emerging evidence suggests that prior stress exposure leaves an epigenetic imprint, reprogramming plants for enhanced resilience. However, the stability and functional relevance of drought memory remain unresolved. This review synthesizes recent advances in epigenetic modifications, transcriptional reprogramming, and metabolic priming, critically assessing their roles in plant stress adaptation. DNA methylation dynamically reshapes chromatin landscapes, yet its transient nature questions its long-term inheritance. Histone modifications, particularly H3K9ac and H2Bub1, may encode stress signatures, enabling rapid transcriptional responses, whereas small RNAs fine-tune chromatin states to reinforce memory. Beyond epigenetics, physiological priming, including osmotic adjustments, antioxidant defenses, and hormonal crosstalk, introduces further complexity, yet its evolutionary advantage remains unclear. Root system plasticity may enhance drought resilience, but its metabolic trade-offs and epigenetic underpinnings are largely unexplored. A critical challenge is disentangling stable adaptive mechanisms from transient acclimatory shifts. We propose a framework for evaluating drought memory across temporal and generational scales and highlight the potential of precision genome editing to establish causality. By integrating multi-omics, gene editing, and field-based validation, this review aims to unlock the molecular blueprint of drought memory. Understanding these mechanisms is key to engineering climate-resilient crops, ensuring global food security in an era of increasing environmental uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":12483,"journal":{"name":"Functional Plant Biology","volume":"52 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As sterol auxotrophs, Phytophthora species rely on host-derived phytosterols for reproduction, yet the effects of pathogen infection on plant sterol biosynthesis remains unclear. We utilised a soil-free plant growth system to analyze the impacts of P. cinnamomi on Nicotiana benthamiana roots, a new model for studying P. cinnamomi -plant root interactions. Our results show that P. cinnamomi successfully infected all ecotypes tested, but infection was inhibited by the systemic chemical, phosphite. While phosphite is traditionally associated with the activation of plant defence mechanisms, we show that phosphite also modulates plant immune receptors and phytosterol biosynthesis. qPCR analyses revealed a two-fold upregulation of the N. benthamiana elicitin receptor, Responsive to Elicitins (REL ), and its co-receptor, suppressor of BIR1-1 (SOBIR ) during P. cinnamomi infection when compared with infected, phosphite-treated plants. Furthermore, key genes related to plant sterol biosynthesis were upregulated in their expression during pathogen infection but were suppressed in phosphite-treated and infected plants. Notably, the cytochrome P450 family 710 (CYP710A ) gene encoding a C22-sterol desaturase, involved in stigmasterol production, a phytosterol known to be linked to plant susceptibility to pathogens, was downregulated in phosphite-treated plants, independent of infection status. These findings reveal novel insights into the role of phosphite in modulating plant immune responses and sterol metabolism, with potential in managing diseases caused by P. cinnamomi .","PeriodicalId":12483,"journal":{"name":"Functional Plant Biology","volume":"52 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144077249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A controlled environment experiment on 195 oat genotypes revealed long combined mesocotyl and coleoptile lengths (112-219 mm) with significant genotypic variation. A further controlled environment study compared the mesocotyl and coleoptile lengths of 42 genotypes across four temperatures (15-30°C). This revealed that temperatures exceeding 20°C reduced coleoptile and mesocotyl length by 3.7mm and 1.1mm per °C. Five field experiments compared the emergence of 19 oat, four wheat, and two barley genotypes from deep (110mm) and shallow sowing (40mm). Oats had greater emergence at depth compared to wheat and barley genotypes. The results indicate that oats are highly suited to early and deep sowing conditions due to their long mesocotyl and combined mesocotyl and coleoptile length.","PeriodicalId":12483,"journal":{"name":"Functional Plant Biology","volume":"52 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144127153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In plants, lysine is synthesised via five sequential enzyme-catalysed reactions collectively known as the diaminopimelate (DAP) pathway, whereas animals are reliant on their plant dietary intake to obtain lysine. Given that lysine is one of the most nutritionally limiting amino acids, several studies have focused on developing strategies to modulate the activity of DAP pathway enzymes to improve the nutritional value of crops. More recently, research has emerged on the potential of inhibiting DAP pathway enzymes for the development of herbicides with a novel mode of action. Over reliance on a small number of modes of action has led to a herbicide resistance crisis, necessitating the development of new modes of action to which no resistance exists. As such, the first herbicidal inhibitors of the DAP pathway have been developed, which target the first three enzymes in lysine biosynthesis. This review explores the structure, function, and inhibition of these enzymes, as well as highlighting promising avenues for the future development of new plant lysine biosynthesis inhibitors.","PeriodicalId":12483,"journal":{"name":"Functional Plant Biology","volume":"52 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143961663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PdCCoAOMT gene (741bp) was cloned, characterised, and expressed in the model plant Nicotiana tabacum via Agrobacterium -mediated transformation. Sequencing of the amplicon followed by BLAST analysis revealed 100% query coverage and 98.52% identity of CCoAOMT with the Populus tomentosa and Populus trichocarpa mRNA. Histochemical GUS staining of the putative transformed leaves displayed a distinct blue colour, predominantly in the veins. Gene expression analysis via real time quantitative PCR of 11 T1 plants showed the highest expression in T1 -6 plant. Overexpression of PdCCoAOMT gene showed a positive correlation with lignin deposition in the transformed plants compared to the control plants. A detached leaf assay for A. burnsii resistance demonstrated a significant negative correlation between lignin deposition and disease severity, suggesting that higher lignin accumulation in the leaf was associated with reduced disease symptoms. This highlights the effectiveness of the gene in mitigating the disease in the transformed tobacco plants.
