Here we show that three genes encoding cold-shock proteins (CSPs) were transferred from bacteria to Triticeae, a tribe of the grass family that includes several major staple crops such as wheat, barley and rye. The acquired CSP genes in wheat (TaCSPs) are functionally conserved in their bacterial homologues by encoding a nucleic acid-binding protein. Experimental evidence indicates that TaCSP genes positively regulate drought response and improve photosynthetic efficiency under water-deficient conditions by directly targeting a type 1 metallothionein gene to increase reactive oxygen species scavenging, which in turn contributed to the geographic expansion of wheat. We identified an elite CSP haplotype in Aegilops tauschii, introduction of which to wheat significantly increased drought tolerance, photosynthetic efficiency and grain yields. These findings not only provide major insights into the role of HGT in crop adaptation and domestication, but also demonstrate that novel microbial genes introduced through HGT offer a stable and naturally optimized resource for transgenic crop breeding and improvement.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712971","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}

Although most of the secondary tissues are made up of parenchyma cells, which are also produced by both cambia, their diversity and function are poorly understood. Here we combined single-cell RNA sequencing analysis with lineage tracing to recreate developmental trajectories of the cell types in the Arabidopsis root undergoing secondary growth. By analysing 93 reporter lines, we were able to identify 20 different cell types or cell states, many of which have not been described before. We additionally observed distinct transcriptome signatures of parenchyma cells depending on their maturation state and proximity to the conductive cell types. Our data show that both xylem and phloem parenchyma tissues are required for normal formation of conductive tissue cell types. Furthermore, we show that mature phloem parenchyma gradually obtains periderm identity, and this transformation can be accelerated by jasmonate treatment or wounding. Our study thus reveals the diversity of parenchyma cells and their capacity to undergo considerable identity changes during secondary growth.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143702912","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, nearly 60% of the global spatiotemporal variance in terrestrial PE remains unexplained. Here we integrate remote sensing and eco-evolutionary optimality theory to derive key plant traits, alongside explainable machine learning and global eddy covariance observations, to uncover the drivers of daily PE variations. Incorporating plant traits into our model increases the explained daily PE variance from 36% to 80% for C3 vegetation and from 54% to 84% for C4 vegetation compared with using climate data alone. Key plant traits—including chlorophyll content, leaf longevity and leaf mass per area—consistently emerge as important factors across global biomes and temporal scales. Water availability and light conditions are also critical in regulating PE, underscoring the need for an integrative approach that combines plant traits with climatic factors. Overall, our findings demonstrate the potential of remote sensing and eco-evolutionary optimality theory to capture principal PE drivers, offering valuable tools for more accurately predicting ecosystem productivity and improving Earth system models under climate change.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695620","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, the mechanisms modulating the age-dependent expression pattern of miR156 are still poorly understood4. In this Article, we report that circular RNAs (ciMIR156Ds) derived from pri-miR156d negatively regulate miR156 levels in an aging-dependent manner in rice. The ciMIR156D levels increase as plants age, which is inversely correlated with the changes of pri-miR156d and miR156 abundance. Consistent with this observation, ciMIR156Ds deficiency caused by a spontaneous mutation increases pri-miR156d and miR156 levels, resulting in a delayed heading phenotype, whereas ciMIR156Ds overexpression has opposite effects, demonstrating that ciMIR156Ds are negative regulators of miR156. We further show that ciMIR156Ds form R-loops with MIR156D at the region where they derive in an aging-dependent manner, which reduces the occupancy of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II at that location and hence impedes pri-miR156d elongation. These findings reveal a mechanism for regulating heading date by refining the aging-dependent expression of miR156.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695762","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}

Although the activation mechanism of some plant NLRs forming resistosomes has been elucidated, whether NLR resistosome assembly is regulated to fine-tune immunity remains enigmatic. Here we used an antiviral coiled coil-nucleotide-binding site–leucine rich repeat, Barley Stripe Resistance 1 (BSR1), as a model and demonstrate that BSR1 is phosphorylated. Using a proximity labelling approach, we identified a wall-associated kinase-like protein 20 (WAKL20) which negatively regulates BSR1-mediated immune responses by directly phosphorylating the Ser470 residue in the NB-ARC domain of BSR1. Mechanistically, Ser470 phosphorylation results in a steric clash of intramolecular domains of BSR1, thereby compromising BSR1 oligomerization. The phosphorylation site is conserved among multiple plant NLRs and our results show that WAKL20 participates in other NLR-mediated immune responses besides BSR1. Together, our data reveal phosphorylation as a mechanism for modulating plant resistosome assembly, and provide new insight into NLR-mediated plant immunity. The discovery of the resistosome was a milestone in plant immunity. Here, Zhong et al. identify a kinase that phosphorylates the NLR, and reveal how this kinase regulates resistosome assembly to fine-tune immune responses.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"11 3","pages":"561-579"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665916","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}

While auxin’s influence on cambial stem cells is well established, the molecular mechanisms underlying the auxin-directed development of cambial derivatives, such as wood fibres, remain elusive in forest trees. Here we identified a transcription factor, AINTEGUMENTA-like 5 (AIL5)/PLETHORA 5 (PLT5) from Populus tomentosa, that is specifically activated by auxin signalling within the vascular cambium. PLT5 regulated both cell expansion and cell wall thickening in wood fibres. Genetic analysis demonstrated that PLT5 is essential for mediating the action of auxin signalling on wood fibre development. Remarkably, PLT5 specifically inhibits the onset of fibre cell wall thickening by directly repressing SECONDARY WALL-ASSOCIATED NAC DOMAIN 1 (SND1) genes. Our findings reveal a sophisticated auxin–PLT5 signalling pathway that finely tunes the development of wood fibres by controlling cell wall thickening. The study reveals that PLETHORA 5, a transcription factor activated by auxin signalling in the vascular cambium, regulates cell expansion and cell wall thickening of fibres by directly repressing SND1 genes during wood formation in Populus tomentosa.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":"11 3","pages":"580-594"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143653485","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}
