The phytochemistry of V. combreticola was found to be independent and distinct from that of the host plants. Moreover, both mature V. combreticola and in vitro seedlings displayed diverse polyphenolic compounds but exhibited distinct metabolic profiles. Notably, the esterification of phenolic acids (hydroxycinnamic and benzoic acids) to quinic acid was a unique chemistry that was observed in both mature and in vitro grown V. combreticola. Beyond providing metabolic fingerprints of the studied samples, the UHPLC-q-TOF-MS and molecular networking effectively visualized plant-plant chemical relationships at a metabolite level.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135855209","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 basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family is a transcription factor family distributed throughout eukaryotes, including plants, and whose members participate in various biological processes, including plant growth, development, flowering, and stress responses. However, a few genome-wide studies of the bZIP family members have been reported. Here, 46 Asparagus bZIP members, named AobZIP01–AobZIP46, were identified from the reference genome via PFAM search and could be divided into 14 subgroups which were shown to be similar via motif and gene structure analysis. The molecular evolution, motif, and gene structure comparative analysis between A. officinalis and Arabidopsis indicated the accuracy of AobZIP member identification. Additionally, the cis-acting elements of the AobZIP members revealed that they might be associated with plant hormones and responses to abiotic stress. The collinear analysis predicted that the function of AobZIP members might be comparable to that of other species. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that AobZIP genes were enriched in the abscisic acid (ABA) pathway. Furthermore, the tissue-specific expression at the seedling stage revealed that root tissue could be used as a target tissue because of its high expression level. The expression of AobZIP genes determined by quantitative real-time PCR under abiotic stress at the seeding stage revealed that some AobZIP members could be candidate genes for plant breeding. This study offers insights for future research in improving the abiotic stress resistance of asparagus utilizing the AobZIP genes.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136212010","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}

Ethylene-response factor (ERF) is involved in plant disease resistance in maize through phosphorylation by MAPK signaling pathway. Here, we found that ZmMPK6-1 positively regulates maize resistance against E. turcicum through enhancing the expression of defense-related genes and enzyme activities. Moreover, ZmMPK6-1 can interact with ZmERF061 which enhanced the transcriptional activation activity of ZmERF061. Taken together, our findings indicated that ZmMPK6-1 would act through improving ZmERF061 transcriptional activation activity to induce defensin gene expression in regulating the maize resistance against E. turcicum.

An untargeted metabolomics approach was applied to investigate how the metabolome of lupin was affected by intercropped barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The only primary metabolite of lupin affected by intercropping was tryptophan. Several secondary metabolites were affected by intercropping in lupin, and five flavonoids were annotated hereof. The flavonoid levels were increased, and tryptophan levels decreased in lupin when intercropped. Two flavonoids are prenylated, and prenylated flavonoids are believed to play a role in the plant’s stress response. Furthermore, flavonoids are involved in plant defence and the nodulation process.

The experimental priming conducted in this study revealed that prior infestation by Spodoptera littoralis caterpillars increased the plant's resistance against M. euphorbiae, pointing at the jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway in regulating this plant-aphid interaction. Glandular trichomes type IV were effective against aphids regardless of the previous infestation. Using JA-deficient tomato (spr2), we observed that M. euphorbiae multiplication increased, while the number of aphids on salicylic -deficient NahG plants was lower than in the wildtype Moneymaker.
