Recently, researchers have shown intensive interest in the complicated interactions. Linalool, an acyclic monoterpene, is one of the common flavor-related volatiles across the plant kingdom. In this review, we summarized the biosynthesis and transcriptional regulation of terpenoids, and then focused on the biological function of linalool in plant–insect interactions. We found that flowers emitting linalool as the dominant volatile appeal to broad assemblages of pollinators, while some pollinators typically have strong preferences for these flowers as well. Hereinto, moths and bees are the main pollinators of linalool-dominant flowers. Additionally, linalool produced by plants could defend against insect pests and pathogens. It is noteworthy that the two enantiomers of linalool have distinct functions. (<i>S</i>)-(+)-linalool mainly attracts pollinators, while (<i>R</i>)-(−)-linalool seems to act as insect repellents. Further research on the biofunctional diversity and genetic mechanisms of linalool enantiomers will reveal the complexity of plant survival strategies, and the increasing understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying their biosynthesis and transcriptional regulation will provide theoretical foundation and practical basis for directional transformation of plants.</p>","PeriodicalId":17087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Systematics and Evolution","volume":"61 3","pages":"538-549"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jse.12930","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50140941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While “reverse” U-to-C editing was recorded in other seed-free plants such as hornworts, quillworts, and ferns, it was not observed in spikemosses. However, no comprehensive study on the association between RNA editing and other genomic features was conducted for the organelle genomes of spikemosses. Here, we report thousands of C-to-U editing sites from plastomes and mitogenomes of two species: 1767 and 2394 edits in <i>Selaginella remotifolia</i>, and 4091 and 2786 edits in <i>Selaginella nipponica</i>, respectively. Comparative analyses revealed two different editing frequencies among plastomes, but one similar frequency in mitogenomes. The different editing frequency in the <i>Selaginella</i> organelle genomes is related to the nonsynonymous substitution rate and the genome structural complexity. The high guanine and cytosine (GC) content caused by GC-biased mutations in organelle genomes might be related to the absence of U-to-C editing in Selaginellaceae. Using RNA-seq and whole-genome data, we screened the pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) family and discovered that the number of aspartic acid–tyrosine–tryptophan (DYW) domain-containing PPR proteins corresponded roughly to the editing abundance in the <i>Selaginella</i> organelle genomes. Consequently, we hypothesize that associated evolution among RNA editing, GC-biased mutation in organelle genomes, and the PPR protein family encoded in the nuclear genome, is probably triggered by the aberrant DNA repair system in Selaginellaceae.

In the prevailing pipeline for variant calling of RRS data – PYRAD/IPYRAD, <i>maxSH</i> is an often overlooked parameter with implications to detecting and filtering paralogs according to shared heterozygosity.

All these data were organized into HelDB, a database where Helitrons can be explored with a user-friendly Web interface and related software. Based on these data, further analysis showed that the number or the cumulative length of Helitrons is positively correlated with genome size. Helitrons had experienced two expansion periods in plants, with the first occurring 20–30 Ma and peaking at approximately 24 Ma. The second expansion occurred in the last 4 million years. The expansions might be due to stimulation of paleogeographic environment. Detailed investigation of gene capture by Helitrons in Brassicaceae and Solanaceae plants showed that the captured genes showed diverse functions. Interestingly, metal ion binding function was enriched in these captured genes in most species. This phenomenon might be due to the need for binding of divalent metal ions to the Rep domain required for Helitron transposition.

We also found correlations between costa anatomy, peristome morphology, and the limbidium, which could reflect the evolutionary recruitment of genetic networks from the gametophyte to the sporophyte phase.
