However, there is an ongoing debate regarding whether grape (Vitis vinifera) geranyl diphosphate synthase (VvGDS, VIT_15s0024g00850) can generate geranyl diphosphate (GPP), the precursor of monoterpene biosynthesis. Here, we demonstrated that VvGDS localizes in mitochondria and is an authentic trans-long-chain prenyl diphosphate synthase (thus, VvGDS was renamed VvPDS), which is essential for ubiquinone (UQ) biosynthesis. This finding is in contrast to the initial association of VvPDS with GDS activity related to monoterpene biosynthesis. VvPDS not only falls within the subgroup comprising mitochondrial trans-long-chain PDSs, which participate in UQ biosynthesis in other eukaryotes, but also exhibits a positive association with UQ10 content in different grape tissues. VvPDS cannot catalyze GPP biosynthesis using isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) as substrates. Furthermore, VvPDS functionally complements the yeast coq1 mutation lacking mitochondrial hexaprenyl diphosphate synthase activity and catalyzes UQ10 and UQ9 biosynthesis. Transient overexpression of VvPDS in grape leaves increased UQ10 accumulation, whereas silencing VvPDS caused an obvious reduction in UQ10 content. Similarly, the stable overexpression of VvPDS enhanced UQ10 accumulation in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and these UQ10-overproducing plants exhibited improved oxidative stress tolerance, primarily through enhanced reactive oxygen species-scavenging capacity. Taken together, these findings provide biochemical and genetic evidence supporting UQ biosynthesis in grape and encourage future research to reevaluate the enzymatic functions and physiological roles of angiosperm PDSs.","PeriodicalId":20101,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144478693","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}

This essential process detoxifies the inhibitory metabolite 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG), an unavoidable byproduct of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activity in the light. If not efficiently metabolized, 2PG impairs key enzymatic processes involved in carbon assimilation and utilization thereby inhibiting growth in oxygenic phototrophs. Decades of research have unraveled the biochemical and genetic intricacies of photorespiration, establishing it as the second-highest carbon flux in illuminated leaves. Here, we discuss recent developments that have expanded our understanding of the pathway, revealing novel metabolic players, intricate inter-organelle interactions, and new regulatory networks. Isotope labeling studies and reverse genetics have identified further interactions of the classical photorespiratory cycle with central carbon and nitrogen metabolism. In order to enhance photosynthetic efficiency, synthetic biology approaches have reengineered photorespiration, either by integrating bypass pathways or optimizing native enzymes. These interventions highlight the vast potential of optimized photorespiration to boost photosynthetic yield and enhance plant adaptation to future climates. Very recently, the importance of active photorespiration in guard cells was discovered, linking it to the regulation of stomatal metabolism and behavior. Collectively, these recent findings reinforce the immense promise of continued photorespiratory research in developing innovative strategies for improving plant yield and resilience.","PeriodicalId":20101,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144289792","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 disruption of these susceptibility genes holds the potential to confer broad-spectrum and robust disease resistance, offering a promising crop improvement strategy. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms by which susceptibility genes suppress host immunity. In this study, we identified a transcription factor (TF) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), TaWRKY27, that was substantially induced during Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) infection. TaWRKY27 is a nucleus-localized transcriptional activator. TaWRKY27 down-regulation in wheat conferred increased Pst resistance, while TaWRKY27 overexpression substantially decreased Pst resistance and increased auxin accumulation. Notably, auxin application to wheat leaves suppressed the expression of defense-related genes. Additionally, integrated DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq) and RNA-seq analyses demonstrated that TaWRKY27 directly activates the transcription of two 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (2OGD) superfamily members, aminocyclopropane carboxylate oxidase protein TaACO3 and senescence-related protein TaSRG1, a finding confirmed through yeast one-hybrid and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Notably, both TaACO3 and TaSRG1 negatively regulated wheat resistance to Pst. Taken together, our findings reveal that TaWRKY27 responds to Pst infection and contributes to wheat stripe rust susceptibility by facilitating TaACO3/TaSRG1-mediated auxin accumulation. These results highlight TaWRKY27 as a potential target for engineering enhanced stripe rust resistance in wheat.","PeriodicalId":20101,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology","volume":"226 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144289791","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, a shortage of knowledge about plant alkaline tolerance restricts breeding of salt-tolerant crops. Here we demonstrate that a homolog of the circadian clock component LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY) negatively regulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis and time-gates oxidative stress responses under NaHCO3 conditions in soybean (Glycine max). Yeast one-hybrid assays followed by chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with quantitative PCR, electrophoretic mobility shift assays, and dual-luciferase reporter assays revealed that LHY1b binds directly to the promoter of Alternative Oxidase 1 (AOX1). Through immunoblotting using AOX1 antibody, we demonstrated that AOX1 accumulates considerably in lhy1b under NaHCO3 conditions. LHY1b strongly inhibits AOX1 transcription under normal growth conditions. However, this inhibition is removed under alkaline stress, allowing the expression of AOX1 and restricting the generation of ROS. Knockdown of AOX1 in lhy1b renders this mutant more sensitive to alkaline stress. Moreover, we determined that the naturally occurring LHY1bH2 allele is associated with alkaline tolerance by phenotyping 559 sequenced soybean accessions. Our study demonstrates a molecular link between clock components and alkaline tolerance and provides a valuable target gene for breeding alkaline-tolerant soybean varieties.","PeriodicalId":20101,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144288257","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}

Despite its importance as a key epigenetic modification, the role of DNA methylation in polyploid domestication through the regulation of gene expression remains unclear. Here, we performed whole genome bisulfite sequencing and RNA-seq analysis on the cultivated allotetraploid peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and its two ancestral diploids to investigate the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of DNA methylation in the formation of peanut polyploids and in peanut domestication. Our findings unveiled substantial differences in DNA methylation between peanut subgenomes, particularly in non-CG contexts. Specifically, CHG methylation is a key factor regulating the expression bias of homoeologs and dominant subgenome expression, as well as stress-responsive gene expression. Additionally, CHH methylation plays a role in peanut seed development by regulating genes associated with fatty acid biosynthesis and lipid metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides a vital theoretical foundation and perspective on the epigenetics underlying cultivated peanut domestication, especially related to the formation of agronomic traits.","PeriodicalId":20101,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144288260","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}

It is primarily synthesized in roots of tea plants and transported to new shoots, where it is mainly distributed to the young stem; however, tea is predominantly produced from young leaves. To promote more theanine allocation to young leaves, the molecular mechanism underlying theanine distribution between stems and leaves requires elucidation. In this study, we found the ratios of stem-to-leaf theanine content in the new shoots of 11 tea plant cultivars ranged from 3.8 to 8.8. Analyses on transcriptome and gene expression demonstrated that the expression of CATIONIC AMINO ACID TRANSPORTER1 (CsCAT1), an amino acid transporter-encoding gene, was highly correlated with the ratios of theanine content in the stem and in leaf (r = 0.97, p &lt; 0.0001). Further analyses indicated that CsCAT1 localizes in the plasma membrane and has theanine transport activity. Moreover, CsCAT1 was predominantly expressed in the vascular ray cells in the stem. Finally, we found that repression of CsCAT1 increased theanine content in young leaves and the ratio of leaf-to-stem theanine content. These results indicate that CsCAT1 modulates theanine distribution between stem and leaf and provides a target for increasing theanine content in young leaves of tea plants.","PeriodicalId":20101,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144288259","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}

B.rapa) is an important leafy vegetable featuring a variety of cultivars with diverse leaf morphologies. Among these, leaf wrinkling is a distinctive trait that not only defines cultivar types but also influences key agronomic traits such as light interception, photosynthetic capacity, and consumer preferences related to taste and texture. Despite its importance, the genetic regulation underlying this trait remains unclear. In this study, we compared the transcriptomes of two Chinese cabbage cultivars, ‘Huangya14’ (‘HY14’, with wrinkled leaf) and ‘Suzhouqing’ (‘SZQ’, with flat leaf), at three developmental stages. Clustering analysis suggested that the difference between wrinkled and flat leaves was already apparent 7 days after sowing (DAS). GO and KEGG analysis revealed that a multifaceted network involving adaxial-abaxial axis polarity, epidermal cell division, and brassinosteroid (BR) signaling mediates leaf wrinkling. Notably, the determination of endogenous BR content and exogenous treatment revealed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT1 (BcBZR1), PHABULOSA (BcPHB), and CYCLIN D3;1 (BcCYCD3;1), which were further characterized to be sensitive to either endogenous or exogenous BR levels. Overexpression of BcBZR1 and BcPHB contributed to wrinkled leaves with irregular tissue arrangement, increased epidermal cell number, and the elevated expression level of BcCYCD3;1. Meanwhile, silencing the two genes reduced the degree of leaf wrinkling. Interestingly, Y1H, dual-LUC, and ChIP-qPCR assays revealed that BcBZR1 specifically binds to the promoter of BcPHB and BcCYCD3;1 to activate their expression, and BcPHB also promoted the expression of BcCYCD3;1. This study unveils a mechanism whereby BR contributes to leaf wrinkling in Chinese cabbage by regulating the key component BcBZR1 and its downstream genes BcPHB and BcCYCD3;1.","PeriodicalId":20101,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144278239","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}
