Recent studies have shown that two different plant RNA viruses encode proteins that suppress such antiviral responses by inhibiting its SUMOylation and inducing its degradation, respectively. However, it is unclear whether targeting NPR1 is a general phenomenon in viruses and whether viruses have novel strategies to inhibit NPR1. In the present study, we report that two different positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) viruses, namely, alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) and potato virus X (PVX); one negative-sense single-stranded RNA (−ssRNA) virus (calla lily chlorotic spot virus, CCSV); and one single-stranded DNA virus (beet severe curly-top virus, BSCTV) that also encode one or more proteins that interact with NPR1. In addition, we found that the AMV-encoded coat protein (CP) can induce NPR1 degradation by recruiting S-phase kinase-associated protein 1 (Skp1), a key component of the Skp1/cullin1/F-box (SCF) E3 ligase. In contrast, the BSCTV-encoded V2 protein inhibits NPR1 function, probably by affecting its nucleocytoplasmic distribution via the nuclear export factor ALY. Taken together, these data suggest that NPR1 is one of the central hubs in the molecular arms race between plants and viruses and that different viruses have independently evolved different strategies to target NPR1 and disrupt its function.</p>","PeriodicalId":195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Plant Biology","volume":"67 5","pages":"1395-1412"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jipb.13866","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Predictions were conducted in 2,126 hybrids generated from 475 maize inbred lines, using 9,355 single nucleotide polymorphism markers for genotyping. Models based on genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) incorporating GE interaction effects of 19 climatic factors associated with day length, transpiration, temperature, and radiation (GBLUP-GE_19CF) trained on whole data set outperformed the traditional GBLUP or BayesB models in predicting GMC or GY by 10-fold cross-validation, achieving prediction accuracies of 0.731 and 0.331, respectively. To refine the climate data, we examined 84 statistical features associated with these climatic factors and identified nine factors most correlated with GMC or GY. Principal component analysis of climate data yielded nine principal components responsible for 97% of the variability in the data. Incorporating these nine factors or principal components into the GBLUP-GE framework with a similarity matrix of environments (GBLUP-GE_9CF and GBLUP-GE_PCA) provided similar prediction accuracies but could reduce the computational burden. In addition, increasing the number of test set environments in the training set from 8 to 14 increased the prediction accuracy of GBLUP-GE_19CF trained with monthly average climate data for 2020–2021. Examining prediction accuracy based on concordance, the proportion of overlapping hybrids between the top 50% of predicted and observed values for GMC and GY, indicated that concordance exceeded 50% for the GBLUP-GE_19CF model, confirming the reliability of our predictions.

Florigens, including FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) proteins Hd3a (OsFTL2) and RFT1 (OsFTL3), play central roles in transmitting flowering signals through rice's photoperiod regulatory network. While Hd3a and RFT1 have been extensively studied, the functions and interactions of other FT-like proteins remain unclear, limiting advancements in breeding strategies for early-maturing rice varieties. Here, we demonstrate that the florigen-like protein OsFTL1 forms a florigen activation complex (FAC) and promotes flowering under both short-day and long-day conditions. OsFTL1 localizes to the nucleus and cytoplasm, with predominant expression in the shoot base, facilitating its mobilization to the shoot apical meristem (SAM) to initiate flowering. Overexpression of <i>OsFTL1</i> (<i>OsFTL1</i>-OE) in leaves or shoot bases significantly accelerates flowering and alters plant architecture. In the nucleus, OsFTL1 interacts with GF14c and OsFD1 to form an FAC, activating <i>OsMADS14</i> and <i>OsMADS15</i> expression to drive flowering. Markedly, <i>OsFTL1</i>-OE plants deficient in <i>Hd3a</i> and <i>RFT1</i> exhibited earlier flowering compared with wild-type plants, indicating that <i>OsFTL1</i> can independently promote flowering. Furthermore, haplotype analysis identified <i>OsFTL1-Hap3</i>, a beneficial variant associated with early flowering and comparable grain yields.

One of the key features of NACs is their ability to regulate gene expression through a variety of mechanisms, including binding to DNA sequences in the promoter regions of target genes, interacting with other TFs, and modulating chromatin structure. We discuss these mechanisms in detail, providing insights into the complex regulatory networks that govern the activity of NACs. We explore the diverse functions of these TFs in plant growth and development processes, including embryogenesis, seed development, root and shoot development, floral development and fruit ripening, secondary cell wall formation, and senescence. We also discuss the diverse regulatory roles of NACs in response to various stresses, including drought, flooding, heat, cold, salinity, nutrient deficit, and diseases. Lastly, we emphasize the crosstalk role of NACs between developmental processes and stress responses. This integrated perspective highlights how NACs orchestrate plant growth and resilience.

However, dense planting significantly reduces the internal light intensity and the red to far-red (R:FR) light ratio in the canopy, which subsequently triggers shade avoidance responses (SAR) that limit further yield enhancements, particularly under high-density conditions. In this study, we identified double B-box containing protein DBB2, a member of the <i>ZmBBX</i> family that is rapidly induced by shade, as a crucial regulator of plant height and SAR. Disruption of <i>DBB2</i> resulted in shorter internodes, reduced plant height, decreased cell elongation, and diminished sensitivity to shade in maize, effects that can be largely alleviated by external treatment with gibberellins (GA). Furthermore, we discovered that DBB2 physically interacted with the transcription factor HY5, inhibiting its transcriptional activation of <i>ZmGA2ox4</i>, a gene encoding a GA2 oxidase that can deactivate GA. This interaction positively influences maize plant height through the GA pathway. Additionally, we found that the induction of <i>ZmDBB2</i> by shade is mediated by the transcription factor PIF4. Interestingly, DBB2 then interacted with PIF4 to enhance the transcriptional activation of cell elongation-related genes, such as <i>ZmEXPA1</i>, thereby establishing a positive feedback loop promoting cell elongation under canopy shade conditions. Our findings highlight the critical role of BBX proteins in modulating plant height and SAR, presenting them as key genetic targets for developing maize varieties suited to high-density planting conditions.

Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism by which the zinc finger protein (ZFP) transcription factor <i>Malus domestica</i> ZFP7 (MdZFP7) regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis by integrating JA and GA signals at the transcriptional and post-translational levels. MdZFP7 is a positive regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis, which fulfills its role by directly activating the expression of <i>MdMYB1</i> and enhancing the transcriptional activation of MdWRKY6 on the target genes <i>MdDFR</i> and <i>MdUF3GT</i>. MdZFP7 integrates JA and GA signals by interacting with the JA repressor apple JASMONATE ZIM-DOMAIN2 (MdJAZ2) and the GA repressor apple REPRESSOR-of-ga1-3-like 3a (MdRGL3a). MdJAZ2 weakens the transcriptional activation of <i>MdMYB1</i> by MdZFP7 and disrupts the MdZFP7–MdWRKY6 interaction, thereby reducing the anthocyanin biosynthesis promoted by MdZFP7. MdRGL3a contributes to the stimulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis by MdZFP7 by sequestering MdJAZ2 from the MdJAZ2–MdZFP7 complex. The E3 ubiquitin ligase apple BOI-related E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase 3 (MdBRG3), which is antagonistically regulated by JA and GA, targets the ubiquitination degradation of MdZFP7. The MdBRG3-MdZFP7 module moves the crosstalk of JA and GA signals from the realm of transcriptional regulation and into the protein post-translational modification.
