As they remain green throughout the year, bryophytes may also be an ideal substrate for epiphytic organisms in temperate regions. The present study investigated the colonization potential and diversity of microalgae on selected plant species in riparian forest and spruce monoculture in a temperate region. It examines whether the presence of algae is related to substrate humidity, the micromorphology of gametophyte or the seasonal availability of substrate. The taxonomic diversity of algae was studied. Cyanobacteria and green algae were cultured on BG-11 agar medium, while diatoms were identified in permanent diatomaceous slides. The alpha- and beta-diversity indices were calculated, and the communities were compared using Bray-Curtis distances and multidimensional correspondence analyses. Our findings indicate that the largest number of alga species were diatoms; however, their presence was only observed in riparian forest and was associated with high humidity. Both aerophilic and freshwater taxa were noted, the latter carried by water from nearby aquatic ecosystem. Green algae were present in both phytocoenoses and humidity appears to have no substantial effect on the degree of colonization; their diversity was low and the group consisted of terrestrial taxa. In two bryophytes growing at the highest humidity, cyanobacteria were only identified in culture. The key factor influencing the degree of microalgae colonization was the humidity of the substrate, which was related to the distance from water.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"847-861"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11392977/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141457608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous proteins in different cellular compartments require Zn for their structure and function. Zn can be toxic when it accumulates in high levels in the cytoplasm. Therefore, Zn homeostasis at tissue, cell, and organelle levels is vital for plant growth. A part of the metal tolerance protein (MTP) / Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF) transporters functions as Zn transporters, exporting Zn from the cytosol to various membrane compartments. In Arabidopsis thaliana, MTP1, MTP2, MTP3, MTP4, MTP5, and MTP12 are classified as Zn transporters (Zn-CDF). In this study, we systematically analyzed the localization of GFP-fused Zn-CDFs in the leaf epidermal cells of Nicotiana benthamiana. As previously reported, MTP1 and MTP3 were localized to tonoplast, MTP2 to endoplasmic reticulum, and MTP5 to Golgi. In addition, we identified the localization of MTP4 to trans-Golgi Network (TGN). Since MTP4 is specifically expressed in pollen, we analyzed the localization of MTP4-GFP in the Arabidopsis pollen tubes and confirmed that it is in the TGN. We also showed the Zn transport capability of MTP4 in yeast cells. We then analyzed the phenotype of an mtp4 T-DNA insertion mutant under both limited and excess Zn conditions. We found that their growth and fertility were not largely different from the wild-type. Our study has paved the way for investigating the possible roles of MTP4 in metallating proteins in the secretory pathway or in exporting excess Zn through exocytosis. In addition, our system of GFP-fused MTPs will help study the mechanisms for targeting transporters to specific membrane compartments.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"939-950"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141788380","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}

Before release, style tension is held by the hooded staminode. When a pollinator touches the trigger appendage of the hooded staminode the latter deforms and the style rapidly curls upwards. This movement has been interpreted as a turgor movement by some authors, but recent studies clearly indicate that setup, hold and release of tension are purely mechanical processes. However, in view of the high diversity of hooded staminodes, the question arises what keeps the tension in species with very thin staminodes. To test the holding mechanisms, we conducted mechanical and physico-chemical release experiments in four species with robust and four species with thin hooded staminodes in their natural tropical environment. We found almost the same response of all species to mechanical treatments, but species-specific reactions to different physico-chemical conditions. This indicates that style release follows the same mechanical principles in all species, but that the sensitivity of the explosive movement depends on material properties like tissue thickness and turgescence. As to the holding mechanisms, we found different degrees of floral synorganization. The hood of the hooded staminode formerly interpreted as an important holding structure does not play a noteworthy role. Instead, the basal plate of the hooded staminode antagonises the pressure of the style head against the holding point of the hooded staminode in species with robust hooded staminodes and well-developed basal plates. In some species with a thin hooded staminode, the latter is closely attached to the style and most likely stabilises tension by adhesive forces. In another species, a morphologically analogous structure adopts the function of the basal plate. We conclude that the holding mechanism of the style tension diversified during the evolution of Marantaceae whereas the release mechanism itself has been conserved throughout the family.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"745-762"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140306018","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}

We analyzed the effect of prolonged hypergravity conditions on growth, lignin deposition, and tissue anatomy of the main stem. As a result, the length of the main stem decreased and cross-sectional area, dry mass per unit length, cell number, and lignin content of the main stem significantly increased under hypergravity. Lignin content in the rosette leaves also increased when they were exposed to hypergravity during their development. Except for interfascicular fibers, cross-sectional areas of the tissues composing the internode significantly increased under hypergravity in most types of the tissues in the basal part than the apical part of the main stem, indicating that the effect of hypergravity is more pronounced in the basal part than the apical part. The number of cells in the fascicular cambium and xylem significantly increased under hypergravity both in the apical and basal internodes of the main stem, indicating a possibility that hypergravity stimulates procambium activity to produce xylem element more than phloem element.

In this sense, through the rapid global expansion of impermeable areas, urbanization has strong, albeit poorly understood, consequences on the biomass allocation of plants found in this environment. Nevertheless, the comprehension of biomass allocation processes in urban shrubs remains unclear, because most studies of urban ecology focus on tree species. This is an important gap of knowledge because a great part of urban vegetation is composed of shrubs and their association with trees have positive impacts in urban ecosystem services. In this study, we explored the ecological and potential selective pressure effects of an urbanization gradient on the biomass allocation patterns of aboveground organs of Turnera subulata, a widely distributed tropical shrub. We have demonstrated that, for certain reproductive organs, biomass allocation decreases in locations with higher urbanization. Unlike expected, the biomass of vegetative organs was not affected by urbanization, and we did not observe any effect of urbanization intensity on the variance in biomass allocation to vegetative and reproductive organs. We did not record urbanization-mediated trade-offs in biomass allocation for reproductive and vegetative organs. Instead, the biomass of these structures showed a positive relationship. Our data suggest that urbanization does not result in radical changes in biomass allocation of T. subulata, and neither in the variation of these traits. They indicate that the ability of T. subulata to thrive in urban environments may be associated with life history and morphological mechanisms. Our findings contribute to the understanding of shrub plant responses to urbanization and highlight urbanization as a potential factor in resource allocation differences for different structures and functions in plants living in these environments.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"879-892"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141626954","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 addition, a principal component analysis with 18 floral characters and germination tests under controlled conditions were performed for both taxa. Pollination was studied in the field, in two localities of Southern Brazil. Pollinators were recorded through photos and film. Breeding system experiments were performed by applying controlled pollinations to plants excluded from pollinators. Both taxa mostly differ in asynchronous flowering periods, floral traits (including floral part measurements and nectar concentration) and pollinators. The flowers of both subspecies are functionally protogynous and perform remarkably long lifespans (≥ 15 days), both traits being novelties for Cactaceae. Whereas the reddish flowers of P. haselbergii subsp. haselbergii (nectar concentration: ca. 18%) are pollinated by hummingbirds of Thalurania glaucopis, the greenish flowers of P. haselbergii subsp. graessneri (nectar concentration: ca. 29%) are pollinated by Augochlora bees (Halictidae). Both subspecies are self-compatible, yet pollinator-dependent. The principal component analysis evidenced that both subspecies are separated, regarding flower traits. The seeds of both subspecies performed differently in the germination tests, but the best results were recovered at 20 °C and germination considerably decreased around 30 °C. In conclusion, all these results support that both taxa are in reproductive isolation, and can be treated as different species.","PeriodicalId":16813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Research","volume":" ","pages":"863-875"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141563576","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}
