It remains unknown how the activities of plant m6A reader proteins are regulated in plant responses to stress. Here we show that the rice m6A reader protein EVOLUTIONARILY CONSERVED C-TERMINAL REGION 3 (OsECT3), required for rice tolerance to cold, is post-translationally modified by lysine acetylation, which reduces its m6A-binding activity. Under cold conditions, OsECT3 acetylation is reduced by cold-induced histone deacetylase HDA705 and low ACLA2-sourced acetyl-CoA levels, resulting in an increase in OsECT3 m6A-binding activity, the accumulation of cold-response-related mRNAs and improved tolerance of rice to cold stress. These results unravel a regulatory mechanism of an m6A reader protein to dynamically control m6A RNA levels under stress and suggest a link between lysine acetylation, metabolism and m6A pathways.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144335093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sex-determining genes have been identified in several active-Y plant systems, but the evolution and functioning of X–A balance systems remains mysterious. Here we sequenced and compared the genomes of two hop species. The evolution of the hop X–A balance system involved an ancient recombination suppression event across a large X chromosome region shared by both species. In one species, an autosome fused to this ancestral sex chromosome, and recombination was subsequently suppressed again. The two evolutionary strata created in this neo-X have degenerated to different degrees and evolved correspondingly different dosage compensation levels that correlate with histone modification patterns. Finally, we identified an X-specific ETR1-like ethylene receptor in the ancestral X region. Its dosage may affect sex determination, as part of the counting mechanism of this X–A balance system.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144312014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conducted in the eastern Amazon, this is the only tropical forest experiment implementing precipitation exclusion continuously over decades, and at ‘ecosystem’ scale (the one-hectare area of forest was artificially droughted for 23 years). A loss of 34% of rainforest biomass was observed, which was primarily due to the mortality of large trees during the first 15 years of experimental drought. Biomass then stabilized from 2017 to 2023, attributed to the recovery of water availability per tree to levels observed in the control forest study area. The loss of large trees reduced water competition during this stabilization phase, shifting the ecosystem from a probable carbon source to a small biomass sink.The researchers further monitored individual trees during the 2023–2024 growth seasons, which included pronounced wet and dry seasons influenced by the effects of global warming and the strong El Niño in 2023–2024. They found that the droughted TFE trees displayed stable hydraulic function, with transpiration rates similar throughout the year to control trees, and an even smaller reduction in function during dry seasons. Measurements of leaf water potential, relative water content and stem water content all indicated that the TFE trees that had survived the preceding multi-decadal drought had now achieved hydraulic homeostasis. This homeostasis was linked most strongly to ecosystem-level structural changes — reduced water demand and increased water availability resulting from the prior loss of large trees.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144305380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Efficient protein delivery is essential to modify biosynthetic processes in leucoplasts for human needs, but no effective transit peptide for leucoplasts is currently available. Here, using an in vitro leucoplast import system, we have identified six high-efficiency transit peptides. Compared with a widely used chloroplast transit peptide, these peptides delivered similar amounts of GFP into chloroplasts, but two to seven times more GFP into root and petal leucoplasts, attesting to the advantage of screening using leucoplasts. When used to deliver bacterial phytoene synthase (crtB) into rice calli and glyphosate-resistant EPSP synthase into Arabidopsis, these peptides enhanced carotenoid production and herbicide resistance, respectively. The correlation among levels of GFP delivery, carotenoid production and herbicide resistance indicates that the efficiency of these transit peptides is consistent across plant species and passenger proteins. Transit peptide selection therefore offers an effective way to modulate production levels of engineered proteins.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144278665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their identity, function and diversity remain poorly characterized, limiting our ability to harness their full power for agricultural advances using induced or natural variation. Here we mapped transcription factor (TF) binding for 200 TFs from 30 families in two distinct maize inbred lines historically used in maize breeding. TF binding comparison revealed widespread differences between inbreds, driven largely by structural variation, that correlated with gene expression changes and explained complex quantitative trait loci such as Vgt1, an important determinant of flowering time, and DICE, an herbivore resistance enhancer. CRISPR–Cas9 editing of TF binding regions validated the function and structure of regulatory regions at various loci controlling plant architecture and biotic resistance. Our maize TF binding catalogue identifies functional regulatory regions and enables collective and comparative analysis, highlighting its value for agricultural improvement.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144269169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
