Synteny analysis indicated that LBDs in the common bean genome have greater collinearity with soybean (Glycine max L.) than with Arabidopsis and rice (Oryza sativa L.). Additionally, 9 pair of segmental duplication genes were identified by collinearity analysis. Phytozome data analysis showed significant differences in PvLBD gene expression abundance between different developmental stages of the same tissue. The qRT-PCR results showed that NaCl, CdCl2, and HgCl2 stresses up-regulated 19% and down-regulated 81% of the PvLBD genes.

We foremost explored the role of OsMATE genes against R. solani resistance through comparative transcriptomics in PR114 (susceptible) and ShB-8 (moderately resistant) at 24 and 48 hpi (hours post-inoculation) of R. solani infection, respectively. Six OsMATE genes were differentially expressed and further validated through qRT-PCR. OsMATE6 gene was identified as a potential candidate for sheath blight susceptibility as it was significantly up-regulated in PR114. OsMATE6 is conserved within the wild relatives and might be translocated from Oryza nivara during the domestication of rice.

Several different microorganisms can be used as MPBs to enhance plant growth and produce progressive and reproducible effects on crops.

Herein, we investigated the effects of Cu and Zn stress on the photosynthesis and tolerance mechanism of alfalfa plants to ROS using fluorescence and biochemical methods. The results showed that Cu stress significantly reduced the chlorophyll content of the leaves, while Zn stress only reduced the Chl a content. The F v/F m decreased significantly under Cu stress but was not affected by Zn treatment. However, the PI ABS of the leaves were sensitive to Cu and Zn stress. Both Cu and Zn stress resulted in the weakening of the ability of PQ library to accept electrons, the damage of OEC and the inhibition of the electron transfer from QA - to QB. Moreover, Cu stress also dissociated the thylakoids of leaves, but Zn stress did not significantly damage it. In Cu and Zn stressed leaves, the reduction of RC/CS m significantly increased the ABS/RC and TR o/RC values. When the stress intensified, the value of DI o/RC increased indicated a plant self-protection mechanism that eliminates excess energy in the PSII reaction center and increases the energy for heat dissipation per unit reaction center. Cu stress significantly increased the O2 - production rate, H2O2 content, and MDA accumulation in the leaves. However, Zn stress exhibited a minimal effect on the ROS production and oxidative damage in the alfalfa leaves but increased the O2 - production rate at the concentration of 800 μmol·L−1. Cu stress increased the activities of SOD, POD, CAT, APX, and GPX in the leaves; however, leaves adapts to Zn stress by enhancing the activities of SOD and GPX. Thus under Cu stress, the degree of photoinhibition and oxidative damage in alfalfa leaves were significantly higher than under Zn stress.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":"17 1","pages":"695 - 704"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60093788","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 a two-season (2020 and 2021) field experiment, fifteen-day-old teosinte plants were subjected to well-watered (15-day watering frequency) as a control, moderate drought (25-day watering frequency), and extreme drought (35-day watering frequency) treatments. Drought negatively affected growth, yield, chlorophyll, and POD activity of all genotypes, but promoted soluble sugars and proteins, osmoregulatory molecules (glycinebetaine, amino acids, and proline), non-enzymatic antioxidants (phenols, flavonoids, and alkaloids), and SOD activity. Furthermore, long-term water stress upregulated MOCOS, Rad17, NCED1, CAT1, and P5CS genes expression, with Gm3 and Gm4 being the most drought-tolerant genotypes. These findings could be employed in breeding programs to develop tolerant genotypes to address the challenges posed by climate changes like drought.","PeriodicalId":16830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Interactions","volume":"17 1","pages":"656 - 673"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41897727","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}
