However, the production of chickpea is hampered due to various biotic and abiotic stressors. In response to such stressors, microRNAs which are small non-coding regulatory RNA molecules have been observed as key players. The present study evaluates the role of drought-responsive microRNAs in the root tissues of chickpea genotypes contrasting for drought tolerance. This study led to the generation of 146.7 million short-read sequences from small RNA libraries constructed from the root tissues of the two genotypes. Upon analysis, 224 conserved and 155 novel miRNA sequences were identified. The miR156 family was found to be the most abundant among the 51 families identified for the conserved miRNAs. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to validate eleven conserved and six novel miRNAs. The identification of drought-induced expression of specific miRNAs and their related target genes suggests miRNA-mediated response mechanisms in chickpea. Furthermore, this research investigated the role of drought-responsive miRNAs, specifically miR171 and miR166 and their target genes, SCL27 (scarecrow-like protein 27) and ATHB15 (Homeobox-leucine zipper family protein), respectively. The study validated the miR171 and miR166 directed cleavage of SCL27 and ATHB15, respectively, in drought-stressed root tissues using 5´RLM-RACE (5' RNA Ligase-Mediated Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) analysis. The study highlights the role of diverse miRNAs in chickpea for mitigating drought.","PeriodicalId":20064,"journal":{"name":"Plant Molecular Biology","volume":"115 2","pages":"43"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143616780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to investigate \"stress memory,\" a phenomenon where prior stress exposure enhances a plant's response to subsequent stress events. In this study, we analyzed essential agronomic traits, including plant height, spike length, grain number, and thousand-kernel weight, in conjunction with biochemical markers such as chlorophyll content, proline, and soluble proteins. These assessments spanned three successive generations under heat stress, capturing transgenerational and intergenerational effects and uncovering the cumulative impacts of prolonged stress in the third generation. Markedly, our findings highlight the critical influence of heat stress on plant physiology across generational scales, showcasing significant reductions in chlorophyll content, which reflect stress-induced limitations on photosynthetic capacity. In contrast, the observed consistent and substantial increases in proline and soluble protein content across transgenerational, intergenerational, and third-generation stress memory stages underscore their vital roles in stress mitigation and cellular homeostasis. These results provide compelling evidence of generational stress memory, suggesting potential adaptive strategies that plants employ to cope with harsh environmental conditions. Interestingly, identifying significant SNP markers within key genomic regions using GWAS analysis further highlights the potential for harnessing these loci in breeding programs. These results shed light on the intricate mechanisms of barley's stress tolerance and underscore the potential of integrating genomic, epigenomic, and advanced phenotyping tools into breeding programs to develop heat-resilient cultivars.","PeriodicalId":20064,"journal":{"name":"Plant Molecular Biology","volume":"115 2","pages":"42"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143597560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heat stress has emerged as a critical threat, accelerating wheat growth, leading to premature maturation, reduced grain filling, and ultimately lower yields. The situation is exacerbated by more frequent and intense heat waves, particularly in regions already struggling with water scarcity. Maintaining the delicate balance of temperature and water necessary for optimal wheat production is becoming challenging, posing a serious risk to global food security. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop adaptive strategies with innovations in breeding and transgenic technologies crucial to improving wheat resilience to environmental stresses, especially to combat the growing impacts of heat stress. Modern tools like CRISPR/Cas9, Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases, and Zinc Finger Nucleases have been instrumental in developing wheat varieties with improved traits. However, the future of wheat cultivation requires more than just resistance to a single stressor. As climate change intensifies, there is an urgent need for wheat varieties that can withstand multiple stresses, including heat, drought, and pests. Developing these multi-stress-tolerant cultivars is crucial for ensuring food security in a rapidly changing climate.","PeriodicalId":20064,"journal":{"name":"Plant Molecular Biology","volume":"115 2","pages":"41"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143586684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aborted pollen in the ipf1 mutants showed impaired pollen wall formation and diminished lipid deposition.

Young leaves of ylc exhibited a yellow base and green tip, with reduced chlorophyll content, and altered chlorophyll fluorescence pattern, and underdeveloped grana in chloroplasts. The color of mutant leaves gradually transitioned to pale green and then became green in mature leaves. The ylc phenotype was found to be controlled by a recessive locus mapped to a 2.4 Mb interval on chromosome 7HS using bulked-segregant analysis with deep sequencing and further fine mapped to a 410 kb interval using polymorphic markers. The YLC locus co-segregated with a molecular marker that led to identification of HORVU7Hr1G011570 as the most likely candidate gene. As compared to the barley reference genome, the candidate ylc allele contained nucleotide changes that would lead to functional alterations of its protein product. The candidate YLC gene encodes a DYW-type pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein, implicated in RNA cleavage and RNA editing in chloroplasts.

However, a knowledge gap in the dynamics of miR398-CSD interaction for redox regulation during pathogenic development impeded their use in crop improvement programmes. We use tomato, Solanum lycopersicum, plants, and necrotrophic and biotrophic pathogens to show that a complex transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory circuit maintains SlmiR398 and its target SlCSD genes' level. The interaction is indispensable for ROS regulation in either the pathogenic outcome, thermal stress, or a combination of both stresses, as observed in the cultivation field. The SlmiR398 knockout plants display feeble O2∙- accumulation but enhanced levels of H2O2, several defense-related genes, metabolites, and vital HSFs and HSPs, which were heightened upon stress. Depletion of SlmiR398, although it renders thermotolerance and resilience to biotrophic pathogens likely due to the augmented hypersensitive response, facilitates necrotrophy.

Rapeseed and mustard are cultivated worldwide and contribute significantly to the world's total oilseed production. Already a plateau is reached in terms of area and yield in most of the existing cultivars. Most of the commercially cultivated high yielding rapeseed and mustard varieties are tall, mainly due to a wider use of heterosis. However, they are susceptible to lodging and consequent yield losses. Plant yield is strongly dependent upon its architecture; therefore, 'ideotype breeding' is the key approach adopted to develop new varieties with enhanced yield potential, which is less explored in these crops. Dwarf/ semi dwarf plant type varieties has shown its improved yield potential over tall plant type in cereals which further leads to 'Green revolution' in Asian countries. Although, many induced dwarf mutants in rapeseed and mustard were isolated, unlike dwarf green-revolution varieties of cereals, most of them had undesirable plant types with defects including extreme dwarfism and sterility, leading to poor yield potential. Understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms governing plant height and its correlation with yield and yield contributing characters is crucial. In this review, recent insights into genetic, molecular, and anatomical regulation of plant height have been discussed. The role of hormones, their crosstalk, and hormonal control for cell division and expansion have been delineated with respect to plant architecture. Many dwarfing genes are identified as being part of various phytohormone pathways. Parallelly, molecular links between plant height and flowering time have been explored. The overall synthesis of the review points out some key target pathways and genes that will be useful for plant breeders as well as biotechnologists for targeted genome editing for improving plant architecture without a yield penalty.","PeriodicalId":20064,"journal":{"name":"Plant Molecular Biology","volume":"115 2","pages":"34"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11839727/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143458528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
