ADF9 decorated actin filaments, and colocalized with plasma membrane. The extent of filament bundling and actin filament bundling activity in adf9 mutant decreased. In addition, MYB52 directly targeted the promoter of ADF9 and negatively regulated its expression. The myb52-2 mutant showed increased lobe number and cell area, reduced cell circularity of PCs, and the PC phenotypes were suppressed when ADF9 was knocked out.

Here, a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for AFHD was fine-mapped to the NAC transcription factor (TF) MdNAC18 within the interval defined by the overlap of QTLs Z03.5/Z03.6 and F03.2/F03.3. One direct target of MdNAC18 is the ethylene biosynthesis gene MdACO1. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) SNP517 and SNP958 in the MdNAC18 coding sequence modulated activation of MdACO1 by MdNAC18. SNP1229 in the MdACO1 promoter destroyed the MdNAC18 binding site and thus abolished MdNAC18 binding. SNP517 and SNP958 also affected MdNAC18 activation of the TF gene MdARF5; MdARF5 activates the ethylene biosynthesis gene MdACS1. SNP517 and SNP958 in MdNAC18, SNP1229 and SNP769 (linked to InDel62) in MdACO1, and InDel162 in MdACS1 constituted a genetic variation network. The genetic effect of this network on AFHD was estimated as 60.3 d, accounting for 52.6% of the phenotype variation of the training population. The joint effects of these polymorphisms increased the accuracy of a genomics-assisted prediction (GAP) model for AFHD (r = 0.7125).

In this study, we adopted an integrative approach to investigate the effectiveness of the combined application of plant growth-promoting bacterium (<i>Bacillus megaterium</i> strain BM08) and a non-microbial biostimulant under control conditions (normal watering) and salt stress. After confirming the yield increase under both conditions, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the observed effect by measuring a number of physiological parameters (i.e., lipid peroxidation, antioxidants, chlorophylls, total phenolics and phytohormone content), as well as RNA sequencing and primary metabolite analyses. Our findings reveal that the combined effect of the microbial and non-microbial biostimulants led to a decrease in the antioxidant response and an up-regulation of genes involved in cytokinin biosynthesis under salt stress conditions. This, in turn, resulted in a higher concentration of the bioactive cytokinin, isopentenyladenosine, in roots and leaves and an increase in γ-aminobutyric acid, a non-proteic amino acid related to abiotic stress responses. In addition, we observed a decrease in malic acid, along with an abscisic acid (ABA)-independent up-regulation of SR-kinases, a family of protein kinases associated with abiotic stress responses. Furthermore, we observed that the single application of the non-microbial biostimulant triggers an ABA-dependent response under salt stress; however, when combined with the microbial biostimulant, it potentiated the mechanisms triggered by the BM08 bacterial strain.
