In this study, we combined reverse genetics and biotechnology to investigate the function of <i>ZmPHR1</i> and <i>ZmPHR2</i>, including proteins containing the Myb_DNA_banding and Myb_CC-LHEQLE structural domains, in maize seedlings. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that <i>ZmPHR1</i> and <i>ZmPHR2</i> have high homology with <i>AtPHR1</i> and <i>OsPHR2</i>, and share the characteristic features of nuclear localisation and transcriptional self-activation. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that low phosphate (Pi) stress significantly induced the expression of <i>ZmPHR1</i> and <i>ZmPHR2</i> in maize seedling stage, and candidate gene association analysis further revealed the close association of these two genes with root traits under Pi stress conditions. Transgenic plants overexpressing <i>ZmPHR1</i> and <i>ZmPHR2</i> in <i>Arabidopsis</i> show a significant increase in lateral root number, fresh weight and total phosphorus accumulation under low-Pi stress. Besides, CHIP-PCR experiments identified target genes involved in hormone regulation, metal ion transport and homeostasis, phosphatase encoding, and photosynthesis, providing new insights into the biological functions of <i>ZmPHR1</i> and <i>ZmPHR2</i>. Furthermore, our study showed that ZmPHR1 interacts with six SPX domain-only proteins (ZmSPXs) in maize, while ZmPHR2 interacts with five of these proteins. <i>ZmPHR1</i> and <i>ZmPHR2</i> expression was repressed in low Pi conditions, but was up-regulated in <i>ZmSPX1</i> knockout material, according to our study of transgenic seedlings overexpressing <i>ZmSPX1</i> in maize. We identified downstream target genes involved in the phosphorus signaling pathway, which are mainly involved in plant-pathogen interactions, ascorbic acid and arabinose metabolism, and ABC transporter proteins, by RNA-seq analysis of transgenic seedlings grown under low Pi stress for 7 days. Collectively, these results provide important clues to elucidate the role and functional significance of <i>ZmPHR1</i> and <i>ZmPHR2</i> under low Pi stress and also provide insights into understand the molecular mechanism of phosphorus homeostasis in maize.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11032-024-01508-2.</p>","PeriodicalId":18769,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Breeding","volume":"44 10","pages":"69"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11442720/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142365815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here by two alleles were cloned and sequenced from indeterminate 2982 and determinate 4769, respectively, we found that <i>BnaC09.TFL1</i> harbors two T/C and G/C non-synonymous mutations in exon 1, and contains sixty-six differences in a 1.9 Kb promoter sequence. Subsequently, <i>BnaC09.TFL1</i> was introduced into <i>B. napus</i> 571 line by genetic complementation and overexpression, transgenic plants 571^CTO lines and 571^TClines were all restored to the indeterminate inflorescence. Interestingly, after <i>BnaC09.TFL1</i> was knocked out in 'Westar', transgenic plants Westar^Tcr lines were mutated to determinate inflorescences.

In research on cucumber powdery mildew resistance breeding, several R genes and CSEPs have been identified; however, the specific interactions between R proteins and CSEPs are still largely unexplored. In this study, we used a luciferase reporter assay to identify six CSEPs from <i>Podosphaera xanthii</i> that potentially induce cell death in cucumber. Subsequent yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed that only the mature form of CSEP30 (CSEP30^∆SP) interacted with the cucumber mutant STAY-GREEN (<i>Cssgr</i>), a gene previously recognized for its broad-spectrum resistance in genetic studies. This interaction was confirmed using pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays. Additionally, to determine if the interaction leads to phenotypic changes, Cssgr and CSEP30^∆SP were transiently expressed in tobacco leaves. The infiltration of Cssgr in tobacco resulted in reduced chlorosis compared to the wild-type CsSGR. Co-infiltration of Cssgr with CSEP30^∆SP induced distinct dry necrotic lesions, contrasting the effects observed when Cssgr and CSEP30^∆SP were infiltrated separately. Additionally, after <i>P. xanthii</i> infection in moderately powdery mildew-resistant Gy14 cucumber, similar necrotic lesions and specific expression of <i>Cssgr</i>, as along with defense response-related genes (<i>CsPR1 and CsLecRK6.1</i>), were observed. This study suggests that the interaction between Cssgr and CSEP30^∆SP could trigger cell death and defense response, offering new insights into the molecular function of Cssgr in disease resistance in Gy14 cucumber.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11032-024-01504-6.</p>","PeriodicalId":18769,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Breeding","volume":"44 10","pages":"67"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11436540/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142350345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A recent screening of tomato germplasm identified <i>Solanum pimpinellifolium</i> accession PI 224710 with very strong resistance to several current <i>P. infestans</i> clonal lineages.

A selective genotyping approach, using 469 non-identical SNP markers, resulted in the construction of a genetic linkage map and identification of three LB-resistance QTLs on chromosomes 6, 9 and 10 of PI 224710.
