To investigate the heredity pattern governing these aberrant female flowers with short ovaries, F1 hybrid plants (MmFf) were generated through a cross between 'Dokanari-sennari' (MMFF) and 'Lemon' (mmff), and #4 (mmff) and #45 (mmFF) were meticulously selected from a pool of 45 F2 segregants. Analysis of the sex expression in both 10 F5 plants (mmff) derived from the #4 (mmff) and 10 F4 plants (mmFF) derived from the #45 (mmFF) revealed that 8-9 plants produced female flowers with short ovaries after producing male and bisexual flowers. Notably, no female flowers with short ovaries were produced in the plants carrying the M gene, such as 'Dokanari-sennari' (MMFF), 8 F1 hybrid plants (MmFf), and the 29 F2 segregants (M-F-,M-ff). Thus, female flowers with short ovaries may be produced in some 'Lemon' (mmff) cucumber plants and their progeny, particularly those carrying the mm genotype (CS-ACS2 genes with c.97G > T mutations), after the production of male and bisexual flowers. However, no clear genetic rules governing the occurrence of these female flowers with short ovaries were observed.

This axis can be considered as an articulated pedicel, peduncle, peduncle-pedicel, or anthopodium. Such disparity in terminology reveals a duality in interpretation since this structure is classified as part of the inflorescence or part of the flower. In an effort to reach a consensus, this study aims to evaluate axes supporting the flowers of species from the Malveae tribe through ontogenetic, morphological, and histochemical analyses, using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Ontogenetic analyses indicated that the axis supporting the flower is an articulated pedicel, which is divided into proximal and distal parts owing to the presence of the constriction (joint). Simultaneously, the articulated pedicel arises from the floral meristem, along with the establishment of the calyx and androecium. As development progresses, we observed frequent abscissions of the floral bud, along with the distal portion of the pedicel, at the joint. After this, the remaining proximal portion of the pedicel becomes secretory, as an extrafloral nectary, often foraged by ants of the genus Wasmannia. Thus, this ontogenetic analysis of the articulated pedicel helps in understanding its functionality and morphological variability, highlighting the importance of standardized terminology since it would lead to conceptual clarity in different studies. Additionally, this study, for the first time, reveals the presence of extrafloral nectaries on articulated pedicels in Malveae, a previously undocumented feature in Malveae and Malvaceae.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"65-76"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142622665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the influence of key environmental factors on plant community traits within specific types of wetland ecosystems has been studied extensively, how they regulate plant communities across marsh wetland types remains poorly understood. We examined how environmental conditions influence plant communities in marsh wetlands along the lower Tumen River in northeastern China. We collected and analyzed data on the plant community characteristics (species, height, and coverage), soil physicochemical properties (organic carbon, inorganic nitrogen, and sulfur), and climatic and topographic factors (temperature, precipitation, and elevation) of 56 distinct marsh plots (29 herbaceous, 14 shrub, and 13 forested marshes) to understand how these variables correlate with plant community characteristics across marsh types. The wetland plant diversity varied, with the lowest, intermediate, and highest diversity occurring in herbaceous, shrub, and forested marshes, respectively. Climate, topography, and soil properties had crucial influences on plant diversity and biomass. Structural equation modeling showed that, in herbaceous marshes, plant biomass was primarily determined by soil and plant diversity, with climate exerting an indirect effect. In shrub marshes, soil, climate, and plant diversity directly influenced biomass. In forest marshes, soil and plant diversity directly affected biomass, whereas climate and topography had indirect effects. These findings highlight the complex interactions among environmental factors across marsh ecosystems and their influence mechanisms on biomass, aiding in formulating effective conservation and restoration strategies for marsh wetland ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"37-50"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142604109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Arabidopsis, functions of several UMAMITs have been characterized, but their precise mechanism, evolutionary history and functional divergence remain elusive. In this study, we conducted phylogenetic analysis of the UMAMIT gene family across key species in the evolutionary history of plants, ranging from algae to angiosperms. Our findings indicate that UMAMIT proteins underwent a substantial expansion from algae to angiosperms, accompanied by the stabilization of the EamA (the main domain of UMAMIT) structure. Phylogenetic studies suggest that UMAMITs may have originated from green algae and be divided into four subfamilies. These proteins first diversified in bryophytes and subsequently experienced gene duplication events in seed plants. Subfamily I was potentially associated with amino acid transport in seeds. Regarding subcellular localization, UMAMITs were predominantly localized in the plasma membrane and chloroplasts. However, members from clade 8 in subfamily III exhibited specific localization in the tonoplast. These members may have multiple functions, such as plant disease resistance and root development. Furthermore, our protein structure prediction revealed that the four-helix bundle motif is crucial in controlling the UMAMIT switch for exporting amino acid. We hypothesize that the specific amino acids in the amino acid binding region determine the type of amino acids being transported. Additionally, subfamily II contains genes that are specifically expressed in reproductive organs and roots in angiosperms, suggesting neofunctionalization. Our study highlights the evolutionary complexity of UMAMITs and underscores their crucial role in the adaptation and diversification of seed plants.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"3-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142622663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to determine why P. cernua is more abundant in areas closer to fumaroles from both a soil and plant perspective. Samples of P. cernua and D. linearis, as well as their respective growing soils, were collected, and the mineral properties, including the concentration of various mineral elements and inorganic anions and δ15N, were determined. P. cernua was better adapted to soil with lower pH, higher soluble aluminum concentrations, and poorer calcium and phosphorus concentrations than D. linearis. A positive correlation was observed between shoot nitrogen concentration and both shoot sulfur concentration and soil water-soluble sulfur concentration in P. cernua, implying the involvement of sulfur in nitrogen acquisition in P. cernua. The results also suggested that D. linearis mainly uses soil NO3-N, while P. cernua uses NH4-N, which is predominant and excessive in the solfatara fields, particularly near the fumaroles. This high preference for NH4-N in P. cernua was confirmed through a cultivation experiment. While D. linearis prefers NO3-N and distributes further from fumaroles, P. cernua may have survived in the solfatara fields by utilizing NH4-N and sulfur, which are abundant near fumaroles where competition from other plant species is minimal.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"19-35"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142622667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While genome editing technologies, particularly CRISPR-Cas9, have revolutionized plant molecular biology by enabling precise gene disruption, knockout methods are ineffective for lethal genes, necessitating alternatives like gene knockdown. This study demonstrates the practical generation of a hypomorphic mutant allele, alongside severe null mutant alleles, via the targeting of mRNA splicing sites using CRISPR-Cas9. The Arabidopsis HIGH PLOIDY 2 (HPY2) encodes a yeast NSE2 ortholog, part of the conserved eukaryotic SMC5/6 complex, with SUMO E3 ligase activity essential for cell cycle progression and plant development. Loss-of-function HPY2 mutants exhibit severe dwarfism and seedling lethality, making functional analysis challenging. To overcome these limitations, we created HPY2 knockdown mutants as novel tools to investigate gene function. Of the three mutant alleles, the hpy2-cr1 and hpy2-cr2 mutants resembled the existing severe hpy2-1 allele, both harboring a single base pair insertion in one exon, causing significant root shortening and seedling lethality. In contrast, the hypomorphic mutant hpy2-cr3, which has a five bp deletion at an intron-exon junction, showed relatively longer root growth and survived until the reproductive stage. RT-PCR analysis of hpy2-cr3 revealed atypical mRNAs producing truncated polypeptides that retained some HPY2 function, explaining the milder phenotype. These results establish the successful generation of novel hypomorphic mutant alleles critical for studying the lethal gene HPY2, and demonstrate the usefulness of CRISPR-Cas9 for producing viable hypomorphic mutants for investigating complex genetic interactions.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"189-196"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142643790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
