The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) suffers significant yield and quality losses caused by the devastating pathogen Botrytis cinerea. We have discovered the role of SlRAE1, a gene encoding an E3 ubiquitin ligase, as a pivotal negative regulator of resistance to B. cinerea. SlRAE1 interacts with SlSKP1, a component of the SKP1-Cullin1-F-box (SCF) complex, to modulate the protein stability of the transcription factor SlWRKY1 through the 26S proteasome pathway. SlWRKY1 targets and inhibits the transcription of SlJAZ7, a suppressor of jasmonic acid (JA) signaling, thereby activating the JA-induced defense system and affecting tomato susceptibility to B. cinerea. The resistance enhancement observed with knock-out SlRAE1 was reduced when SlWRKY1 was also knocked out, highlighting SlWRKY1's role in SlRAE1's regulation of tomato defense against B. cinerea. Our findings elucidate the defense mechanism in tomato and suggest that targeting SlRAE1, by modulating SlWRKY1 stability, could help to develop resistant tomato varieties. These insights have broader implications for using gene-editing technologies to enhance crop defense against fungi.","PeriodicalId":195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Plant Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075058","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 metabolism and transport of C involve the movement of sugars between shoots and roots through xylem and phloem transport systems, regulated by a sugar-signaling hub. Nitrogen uptake, transport, and metabolism are equally critical, with plants assimilating nitrate and ammonium through specialized transporters and enzymes in response to varying N levels to optimize growth and development. The coordination of C and N metabolism is key to plant productivity and the maintaining of agroecosystem stability. However, inefficient utilization of N fertilizers results in substantial environmental and economic challenges, emphasizing the urgent need to improve N use efficiency (NUE) in crops. Integrating efficient photosynthesis with N uptake offers opportunities for sustainable agricultural practices. This review discusses recent advances in understanding C and N transport, metabolism, and signaling in plants, with a particular emphasis on NUE-related genes in rice, and explores breeding strategies to enhance crop efficiency and agricultural sustainability.","PeriodicalId":195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Plant Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075054","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}

Biofortification offers a promising solution by enhancing nutrient levels within plant tissues through traditional breeding or advanced biotechnologies. Recent advancements in plant synthetic biology have significantly improved biofortification strategies, enabling precise and targeted nutrient enrichment. This mini-review outlines five core strategies in synthetic biology-based biofortification: overexpression of endogenous biosynthetic genes, introduction of heterologous biosynthetic pathways, expression of nutrient-specific transporters, optimization of transcriptional regulation, and protein (directed) evolution. Vitamin B1 biofortification serves as a primary illustrative example due to its historical importance and ongoing relevance. Recent breakthroughs, particularly from Chinese research teams, are also highlighted. Together, these strategies offer transformative potential for addressing global nutritional challenges through precise, sustainable and innovative plant-based approaches.","PeriodicalId":195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Plant Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075056","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}

During photosynthesis and pathogen defense, highly redox-active reactions take place in chloroplasts and generate large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, our knowledge of chloroplast-produced ROS biosynthesis in plant immunity under varying light conditions is limited. Here, we report that the chloroplast-localized protein HYPERSENSITIVE TO HIGH LIGHT 1 (HHL1) functions as a dual regulator of AvrRpt2-triggered immunity in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), by modulating levels of chloroplast-produced ROS to activate appropriate responses to pathogen infection under various light intensities. Under normal light conditions, HHL1 positively regulates AvrRpt2-triggered immunity by promoting AvrRpt2-induced chloroplast-produced ROS accumulation, initiating salicylic acid signaling, and inducing the expression of genes encoding ROS-scavenging enzymes. By contrast, under high light (HL) conditions, HHL1 has an opposite role, functioning as a repressor of these immune responses while HL stress attenuates AvrRpt2-triggered immunity. These findings reveal that HHL1 modulates AvrRpt2-triggered immunity by regulating ROS homeostasis in a light intensity-dependent manner. Collectively, our results offer insight into the role of chloroplasts in the crosstalk between plant immunity and light intensity.","PeriodicalId":195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Plant Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143954766","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, its widespread adoption is hindered by high costs, substantial energy demands, and thus low production efficiency. The limited range of economically viable crops further compounds these challenges. Beyond advancing infrastructure, rapidly developing crop cultivars tailored for vertical farming (VF) are essential to enhancing production efficiency. The gibberellin biosynthesis genes GA20-oxidase fueled the Green Revolution in cereals, while the anti-florigen genes SELF-PRUNING (SP) and SELF-PRUNING 5G (SP5G) revolutionized tomato production. Here, we engineer tomato germplasm optimized for VF by leveraging genome editing to integrate Green Revolution gene homologs and anti-florigen genes. Knocking out the tomato SlGA20ox1 gene, but not SlGA20ox2, results in a promising VF-suitable plant architecture featuring short stems and a compact canopy. When cultivated in a commercial vertical farm with multi-layered, LED-equipped automated hydroponic growth systems, slga20ox1 mutants saved space occupation by 75%, achieving a 38%-69% fruit yield increase with higher planting density, less space occupation, and lower lighting power consumption. Stacking SlGA20ox1 with SP and SP5G genes created a more compact plant architecture with accelerated flowering and synchronized fruit ripening. In commercial vertical farms, the sp sp5g slga20ox1 triple mutant reduced space occupation by 85%, shortened the harvest cycle by 16% and increased effective yield by 180%, significantly enhancing production efficiency. Our study demonstrates the potential of integrating agriculture practice-validated genes to rapidly develop tomato cultivars tailored for VF, providing a proof-of-concept for leveraging genome editing to boost production efficiency in VF.","PeriodicalId":195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Plant Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143955856","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}

These processes involve complex signaling pathways. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in apoplast involves signaling for the cell wall expansion during tube growth, however molecular regulators are less known. We identified pollen-specific receptor-like kinase (OsPRK) family genes from rice (Oryza sativa), which have conserved leucine-rich repeat (LRR) and kinase domains. To understand the function of these genes, we produced single and triple mutations for OsPRK1, OsPRK2, and OsPRK3 using the clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) system. Among these mutants, triple knockout (KO) lines (osprk1/2/3) exhibited the male-sterile phenotype with normal vegetative growth and floret formation. Through cytological analysis, we confirmed that the reduced seed fertility was due to defects in pollen hydration and germination with low ROS accumulation. This defect of pollen germination was partially recovered by treatment with exogenous H2O2. We also confirmed that OsPRKs could interact with the LRR extension protein. Our results suggest that rice PRKs redundantly play a role in ROS signaling for pollen hydration and germination, and fertility can be controlled by exogenous application.","PeriodicalId":195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Plant Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143958632","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}
