Here, we characterised metabolite responses of two Mediterranean oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars, Flega and Patones, during drought stress at anthesis. In the more drought-tolerant Patones, the developing grains from the top (older) and bottom (younger) spikelets of primary panicle were found to be larger in size in response to drought, suggesting accelerated grain development. Flega showed a more rapid transition to flowering and grain development under drought. The metabolomes of source (sheath, flag leaf, rachis) and sink (developing grains) tissues from Patones showed differential accumulation in fatty acids levels, including α-linolenic acid, sugars and amino acids with drought. Flega showed enhanced energy metabolism in both source and sink tissues. Lower levels of glutathione in source tissues and the accumulation of ophthalmic acid in the grains of Flega were indicators of oxidative stress. Our study revealed two distinct metabolite regulatory patterns in these cultivars during drought at anthesis. In Patones, α-linolenic acid-associated processes may accelerate grain-filling, while in Flega oxidative stress appears to influence traits such as flowering time.

In this study, we isolated the CaADBZ1 (Capsicum annuum ABA and Dehydration-Induced bZIP transcription factor 1) gene, a member of the group A family, and analysed its functions in response to dehydration stress and ABA signalling. The expression of CaADBZ1 was specifically induced by dehydration and exogenous ABA treatment, not salinity and osmotic stress. CaADBZ1 was found to have transactivation activity in yeast cells, which was dependent on the N-terminal of CaADBZ1 (amino acids 1-112), harbouring a highly conserved C1 domain. Notably, a dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed that CaADBZ1 modulated the expression of CaOSR1, a dehydration stress-responsive gene in pepper plants. Functional studies in both pepper and Arabidopsis plants revealed that the modulation of CaADBZ1 expression level affected dehydration stress resistance in pepper and Arabidopsis plants. CaADBZ1-silenced pepper Arabidopsis plants showed dehydration stress-sensitive phenotypes characterized by higher transpiration rates and reduced expression of dehydration-responsive genes compared to control plants. Conversely, overexpression of the CaADBZ1 gene in Arabidopsis plants enhanced dehydration stress resistance. Moreover, CaADBZ1-overexpressing Arabidopsis transgenic plants showed increased ABA sensitivity during the seedling stage.

The results of these experiments supported the interaction between SYP81 and AAD5, as well as SYP81 and TOC33.

This study investigates these mechanisms by analysing growth, inflorescence meristem transcriptomics, yield, and grain ionomics in rice plants grown alone (R) or with azolla (R + A) in non-limiting N conditions. During the vegetative stage, the presence of azolla increased allocation of resources to rice shoots without affecting root growth, while in the reproductive stage, it improved panicle architecture, with a 6% increase in length and up to 26% increase in panicle branching. Nevertheless, while this increase in panicle branching in R + A translated into a greater number of grains per plant, grain weight declined. As a result, yields were similar between R and R + A. There was also an azolla-induced increment in several mineral elements in R + A grains, with the notable exception of zinc, which declined by more than 30%. Finally, the presence of azolla altered the expression of several gene families, and in particular, it led to the upregulation of numerous transcription factors from the AP2/ERF, WRKY and NAM families. Interestingly, the presence of azolla also led to the upregulation of several genes (including WRKY transcription factors) involved in resistance to several pathogens and abiotic stresses.
