Moq. is a highly prevalent xerophytic species found throughout northern China. It is suitable for cultivation in semi-arid sandy environments and may establish roots in arid desert locations. This species plays a pioneering and exploratory role in the colonization of desert plants. In this study, we selected A. squarrosum from the Urat desert steppe (UD) and Horqin sandy land (HS) to explore their adaptation mechanisms to drought and rehydration environments by using the pot weighing control method to simulate an arid environment. The findings showed that the control (watering to 60–65% of field capacity) exceeded its required amount and the leaves turned yellow. The chlorophyll content was lower than those under moderate and severe drought, and rehydration caused a decrease. However, the contents of malondialdehyde, soluble sugar, and proline in the drought treatment were higher than those in the control. Under moderate and severe drought, the chlorophyll content and the quantum efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) of A. squarrosum from UD were higher than those from HS. During drought and rehydration processes, the proline content was relatively lower, while the activities of peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) and the content of soluble sugar and soluble protein were higher. However, antioxidant enzymes and osmoregulators from UD were higher than those from HS. The results suggest that the stronger ability of A. squarrosum to endure drought environments in UD is due to the high level of antioxidant enzymes and osmoregulators, which are conducive to relieving cell membrane damage when subjected to drought and rehydration.","PeriodicalId":20103,"journal":{"name":"Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to improve DW heat tolerance, the introgression of chromosomal segments derived from the wild gene pool is a promising strategy. Here, four DW-Thinopyrum spp. near-isogenic recombinant lines (NIRLs) were assessed for their physiological response and productive performance after intense heat stress (IH, 37/27 °C d/n) had been applied for 3 days at anthesis. The NIRLs included two primary types (R5, R112), carriers (+) of a differently sized Th. ponticum 7el1L segment on the DW 7AL arm, and two corresponding secondary types (R69-9/R5, R69-9/R112), possessing a Th. elongatum 7EL segment distally inserted into the 7el1L ones. Their response to the IH stress was compared to that of corresponding non-carrier sib lines (−) and the heat-tolerant cv. Margherita. Overall, the R112+, R69-9/R5+ and R69-9/R112+ NIRLs exhibited a tolerant behaviour towards the applied stress, standing out for the maintenance of leaf relative water content but also for the accumulation of proline and soluble sugars in the flag leaf and the preservation of photosynthetic efficiency. As a result, all the above three NIRLs (R112+ > R69-9/R5+ > R69-9/R112+) displayed good yield stability under the IH, also in comparison with cv. Margherita. R112+ particularly relied on the strength of spike fertility/grain number traits, while R69-9/R5+ benefited from efficient compensation by the grain weight increase. This work largely confirmed and further substantiated the value of exploiting the wild germplasm of Thinopyrum species as a useful source for the improvement of DW tolerance to even extreme abiotic stress conditions, such as the severe heat treatment throughout day- and night-time applied here.","PeriodicalId":20103,"journal":{"name":"Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With advances in genome sequencing technologies, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are commonly used as DNA markers in crop species. In this study, a large-scale discovery of SNPs was conducted using genotyping by sequencing in a collection of 48 cultivated pear accessions. A total of 256,538 confident SNPs were found on 17 chromosomes, and 288 SNPs were filtered based on polymorphic information content, heterozygosity rate, and genome distribution. This subset of SNPs was used to genotype an additional 144 accessions, consisting of P. pyrifolia (53), P. ussuriensis (27), P. bretschneideri (19), P. communis (26), interspecific hybrids (14), and others (5). The 232 SNPs with reliable polymorphisms revealed genetic variations between and within species in the 192 pear accessions. The Asian species (P. pyrifolia, P. ussuriensis, and P. bretschneideri) and interspecific hybrids were genetically differentiated from the European species (P. communis). Furthermore, the P. pyrifolia population showed higher genetic diversity relative to the other populations. The 232 SNPs and four subsets (192, 96, 48, and 24 SNPs) were assessed for variety identification. The 192 SNP subset identified 173 (90.1%) of 192 accessions, which was comparable to 175 (91.1%) from the 232 SNPs. The other three subsets showed 81.8% (24 SNPs) to 87.5% (96 SNPs) identification rates. The resulting SNPs will be a useful resource to investigate genetic variations and develop an efficient DNA barcoding system for variety identification in cultivated pears.","PeriodicalId":20103,"journal":{"name":"Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piceatannol has aroused great interest as it has been shown to surpass some human health-beneficial properties of resveratrol including antioxidant activity, several pharmacological activities and also bioavailability. The plant biosynthetic pathway of piceatannol is still poorly understood, which is a bottleneck for the development of both plant defence and bioproduction strategies. Cell cultures of Vitis vinifera cv. Gamay, when elicited with dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (MBCD) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA), lead to large increases in the accumulation of resveratrol, and after 120 h of elicitation, piceatannol is also detected due to the regiospecific hydroxylation of resveratrol. Therefore, an ortho-hydroxylase must participate in the biosynthesis of piceatannol. Herein, three possible types of resveratrol hydroxylation enzymatic reactions have been tested, specifically, a reaction catalyzed by an NADPH-dependent cytochrome, P450 hydroxylase, a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase and ortho-hydroxylation, similar to polyphenol oxidase (PPO) cresolase activity. Compared with P450 hydoxylase and the dioxygenase activities, PPO displayed the highest specific activity detected either in the crude extract, the particulate or the soluble fraction obtained from cell cultures elicited with MBCD and MeJA for 120 h. The overall yield of PPO activity present in the crude extract (107.42 EU) was distributed mostly in the soluble fraction (66.15 EU) rather than in the particulate fraction (3.71 EU). Thus, partial purification of the soluble fraction by precipitation with ammonium sulphate, dialysis and ion exchange chromatography was carried out. The soluble fraction precipitated with 80% ammonium sulphate and the chromatographic fractions also showed high levels of PPO activity, and the presence of the PPO protein was confirmed by Western blot and LC-MS/MS. In addition, a kinetic characterization of the cresolase activity of partially purified PPO was carried out for the resveratrol substrate, including Vmax and Km parameters. The Km value was 118.35 ± 49.84 µM, and the Vmax value was 2.18 ± 0.46 µmol min−1 mg−1.","PeriodicalId":20103,"journal":{"name":"Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a newly introduced species, knowledge of its biological reproductive behaviors in its new areas of spreading is essential for appropriate agronomic planning and management. This two-year study (2022 and 2023), carried out in the countryside of Stigliano (MT, Italy), had the objective of evaluating the flowering phenograms, pollen production, and assessing protocols for the conservation and extension of pollen viability, of the most widespread cultivars. A slight delay was observed in the blooming phenograms, compared to other cultivation Mediterranean areas, such as Spain or Sicily. Furthermore, the overlap between female and male phenograms was partial. No significant differences were observed in the polliniferous aptitude of the two male cultivars. Among the different protocols tested, the pollen storage at 33% relative humidity and a temperature of −80 °C maintained the pollen germinability above 50% for up to three weeks.

Thus, this study aims to enhance our understanding of polyploidy P. edulis and provide rudimentary knowledge for breeding new cultivars. In this study, colchicine-induced tetraploid P. edulis (2n = 36) was used as experimental material (T1, T2, and T3) to explore the variances between it and its diploid counterpart in morphology, physiology, and biochemical characteristics, and a comparison of their performance under cold stress was conducted. We measured and collected data on phenotype parameters, chlorophyll contents, chlorophyll fluorescence, photosynthesis, osmotic substances, and antioxidant enzymes. The results showed that tetraploid P. edulis exhibited a shorter phenotype, more giant leaves, darker leaf color, and longer and fewer roots. Moreover, the physiological and biochemical analysis indicated that the tetraploid P. edulis had better photosynthesis systems and higher chlorophyll fluorescence parameters than the diploid P. edulis. Additionally, the tetraploid P. edulis had higher activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD, CAT) and lower MDA content to maintain better resistance in low temperatures. Overall, we conclude that there were apparent differences in the morphological, physiological, and biochemical traits of the tetraploid and diploid P. edulis. The tetraploid plants showed better photosynthesis systems, higher osmotic substance content, and antioxidant enzyme activity than the diploid, even under cold stress. Our results suggest that tetraploids with more abundant phenotype variation and better physiological and biochemical traits may be used as a new genetic germplasm resource for producing new P. edulis cultivars.","PeriodicalId":20103,"journal":{"name":"Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
