This study explored the combined effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and melatonin (MT) on improving drought resilience in dryland maize. We hypothesized that the joint application of SNP + MT would enhance drought resilience through both above- and below-ground interactions. Maize plants were treated with SNP, MT, and a combination of both under different water stress conditions. The combined treatment was observed to significantly improve chlorophyll contents, water use efficiency (WUE), while reducing oxidative stress markers, compared to separate treatments and controls (CK). These improvements led to enhanced plant biomass and yield productivity under the conditions of drought. Specifically, leaf chlorophyll levels increased averagely by 24.22% under well-watered (WW) conditions, and 27.94% under mild water-stressed (MWS) conditions, respectively. In addition, the content of chlorophyll b increased by 13.27 and 56.32% in WW and MWS, respectively. Particularly, the combined treatment resulted in higher WUE, lower oxidative stress, and higher nutrient content [nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK)], contributing to improved plant growth and yield. The examination uncovered noteworthy associations (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) between these interventions and physiological characteristics, including heightened WUE, diminished oxidative stress, and augmented nutrient content. These factors contributed to the enhancement of plant production and biomass. The research also investigated the effects of microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN).

The bacterium of &lt;i&gt;E. amylovora&lt;/i&gt; elicits reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation followed by rapid oxidative bursts during both compatible and incompatible interactions in host and non-host plants, respectively. These interactions occur because of the stimulation and expression of numerous &lt;i&gt;hrp&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;hrc&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;dsp&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;eop&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;avr&lt;/i&gt; genes in the pathogen's Hrp pathogenicity island followed by the subsequent secretion of effector proteins into host cells via type three secretion systems (T3SS). The &lt;i&gt;E. amylovora’s&lt;/i&gt; secretome triggers oxidative burst in host and non-host tissues with different range of severities and various spatiotemporal patterns. Subsequently, numerous responses including hypersensitive reactions (HR) as absolute resistance in non-host plants (owing to the suppression of systemic acquired resistance; SAR) together with a range of disease resistance in host plants rating from highly resistance to fully susceptible (because of SAR suppression/activation) are normally appeared. In the battle between the hosts and &lt;i&gt;E. amylovora&lt;/i&gt;, the former try to neutralize destructive effects of the pathogen via applying enzymatic and/or non-enzymatic ROS scavenging mechanisms, while the latter try to overcome the hosts mainly through recruiting two pathogenicity mechanisms of “ROS (oxidative burst)-independent pathogenicity factors” (i.e., levan, sucrose, and sorbitol) and “ROS (oxidative burst)-dependent pathogenicity elements” (i.e., secretion of effector proteins followed by protective mechanisms such as amylovoran and siderophores biosynthesis). In host plants, the activation/suppression of defense mechanisms regularly results in a multilateral of responses including ROS generation, particularly OH&lt;sup&gt;·−&lt;/sup&gt; formation from H&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, lipid peroxidation, electrolyte leakage and ultimately tissue necrosis.

It also has a great interest from the aspect of identifying early responsive inducible promoters and their application in the breeding of resistant cultivars. In the present study, based on the expression data analysis of chickpea genes against the infection with the fungus <i>Ascochyta rabiei</i> that causes chickpea Ascochyta blight, a transcript was identified with high inducibility 3 hours after inoculation with this pathogen. The position of this transcript on the chickpea genome was identified by comparing the transcriptomic and genomic data and the corresponding predicted gene sequence was selected. However, the comparison of these proteins with the predicted protein sequence in the chickpea genome led to the mentioned transcript being investigated under the name of <i>CaDRRG</i>. In order to analyze the sequence of this gene inducible promoter, its upstream sequence was retrieved from genomic data and the position of consensus regulatory elements such as TATA-box and CAAT-box was determined on it. Moreover, the position and number of Cis-regulatory elements known to be inducible against pathogens such as, AS-1, W-box, and G-box, were identified in the promoter sequence. In addition, by comparing the upstream sequence of <i>CaDRRG</i> gene with other genes with the highest induction level in response to <i>A. rabiei</i>, three new potential regulatory elements were identified in the promoter sequence of this gene. The fragment containing these regulatory elements was tracked and sequenced in resistant and sensitive chickpea genotypes. Multiple sequence alignment of the <i>CaDRRG</i> gene promoter sequence in different chickpea genotypes led to the identification of several point mutations outside the positions of the identified regulatory elements. In a preliminary experiment to analyze the induction capacity of the <i>CaDRRG</i> gene promoter sequence, about 700 bp of this sequence was cloned upstream of the beta-glucuronidase reporter gene and its basal expression and inducibility in response to the treatment of <i>A. rabiei</i> fungal extract was investigated on <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i> leaves by agroinjection method. The assessment of beta-glucuronidase enzyme activity in tobacco leaf discs after treatment with fungal extract and its comparison with the basal expression level confirmed the inducibility of this fragment which was observationally compared with the expression level of CaMV 35S constitutive promoter.

This study aimed to identify the effect of 1-MCP on gene expression of ethylene receptors, and compare the interaction <i>in silico</i> between 1-MCP and different ethylene receptors to understand what could be associated with coffee anthesis promotion by this molecule. The study involved phenotypic characterization, ethylene quantification, RNA expression profiling, phylogenetic analysis, homology modeling, and molecular docking. Results revealed that 1-MCP accelerated floral bud development to anthesis within 12 days, contrasting with water treated floral buds which exhibited progress just after a rainfall event. Moreover, 1-MCP application notably increased ethylene levels in both leaves and floral buds. Gene expression analysis indicated that 1-MCP modulates ethylene related gene expression differently in leaves and floral buds. Decreasing the expression of signaling genes in floral buds (<i>CaERS1-like</i>, <i>ETR2-like</i>, <i>ETR4-like</i> and <i>EIN4-like</i>), increasing it in leaves (<i>ETR1-like</i>, <i>ETR2-like</i>, <i>ETR4-like</i> and <i>CaCTR1-like</i>); and increasing the expression of <i>CaACO3-like</i> (biosynthesis related gene) in floral buds. Molecular docking studies suggested that ethylene may exhibit a higher affinity for receptors with lower interaction energy with 1-MCP. In conclusion, 1-MCP could be a promising tool to promote anthesis in coffee trees by modulating ethylene related processes, as the interaction between 1-MCP and ethylene receptors may influence ethylene sensitivity through different modulation of gene expression in leaves and floral buds.</p>","PeriodicalId":16842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Growth Regulation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258231","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 desert area of Chihuahua in Mexico has limited water availability and is therefore susceptible to drought. Plant photosynthetic performance is the main determining factor of crop productivity, especially under stress conditions. The present study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of three maize hybrids (P1898, P1445, and P1382) grown under drought stress, focusing on yield, physiological aspects, photosynthetic efficiency, and stomatal activity. A field experiment with these hybrids was carried out in the municipality of Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Mexico, which is characterized by a low precipitation regime. The results indicated that the P1898 hybrid achieved the highest yield and was the best adapted to drought conditions. The analysis of photosynthesis parameters suggests favorable adaptations in both the P1898 and P1382 hybrids such as excess energy dissipation. Additionally, the P1898 hybrid exhibited a greater stomatal area, potentially enhancing CO<sub>2</sub> uptake and heat dissipation via transpiration. The P1382 hybrid demonstrated greater efficiency in photosynthetic energy use and improved water use efficiency (WUE), likely due to its stomatal adaptations. These findings suggest that the P1898 hybrid is the most suitable maize cultivar for cultivation in regions prone to drought and high temperatures, owing to its superior yield and photosynthetic adaptations.</p>","PeriodicalId":16842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Growth Regulation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258230","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}
