Abct. Among extreme weather events caused by climate change, heat waves are one of the most threatening issues for food security. Heat stress is known to be particularly penalizing at the reproductive stage for oleaginous crops, such as oilseed rape and camelina, and is responsible for crop failures as a consequence of yield losses and lower quality of harvest plants parts. In this context, our study aims to analyze two acclimation strategies that rely on the induction of signals prior to an intense heat stress event, i.e., thermopriming (herein, a gradual increase in temperature) and bacteria inoculations (herein, two Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) were tested). In the two experiments, we assessed the expected beneficial effects of these two acclimation strategies on yield components, seed quality criteria (nutritional and related to dormancy). While thermopriming improved heat stress tolerance in B. napus cv Aviso by maintaining yield, seed nutritional quality and seed dormancy, the effects of the gradual increase prior to the heat stress were even more negative than the later intense heat stress event in C. sativa cv Calena which resulted in cumulated negative effects. The experimentation based on PGPR inoculation highlighted similar trends to thermopriming in B. napus cv Aviso but to a lesser extent. However, in C. sativa cv Calena, very weak effects of PGPR inoculation upon heat stress were observed. Finally, these two acclimation strategies were shown to help alleviate the impacts of intense heat stress but in a species-dependent manner. This study should be deepened by exploring the behaviors of more cultivars of oilseed rape and camelina in the perspective to generalize these results at the species scale.</p>","PeriodicalId":20177,"journal":{"name":"Planta","volume":"261 2","pages":"26"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142932442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis uncovers 86 compounds, being 47 metabolites identified in the leaves, including vital metabolites such as myo-inositol, sucrose, and 6-kestose, displaying varying concentrations among different clones and their responses. The research underscores the importance of assessing the mini-cutting response to prevent misinterpretations. This was evident in the study, particularly concerning variables like myo-inositol in both clones and chlorogenic acids and 6-kestose in the hard-to-root clone.

In this study, we generated wheat plants with improved low nitrogen (LN) and drought tolerance by introducing AtbZIP69, a gene encoding a basic leucine zipper domain transcription factor, into the wheat cultivar Shi 4056. AtbZIP69 localized to the nucleus and activated transcription. A greenhouse study further revealed that, compared to wild type (WT) wheat, AtbZIP69 transgenic wheat exhibited significantly increased drought and LN stress tolerance. Under drought stress, the H₂O₂ concentration in transgenic lines decreased, whereas SOD activity and proline content increased, resulting in remarkably enhanced drought resistance. Furthermore, drought stress boosted the expression of critical abscisic acid (ABA) synthesis enzymes as well as the ABA content of transgenic plants, implying that this gene may improve wheat's drought resistance by promoting ABA production. Additionally, during a two-year field test, the yield and the number of spikes of transgenic wheat were significantly higher than those of WT wheat under LN conditions. Mechanistically, the overexpression of AtbZIP69 altered nitrogen distribution by allocating more nitrogen to grains under LN conditions.

The \"hairy root\" syndrome is caused by the root-inducing Ri-plasmid of Rhizobium rhizogenes, also known as Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The Ri-plasmid contains genes known as rol genes or root oncogenic loci, which promote root development. The important implications of the rolA gene from the T-DNA include reduced plant size, resistance to infections, and the activation of specialised metabolism. Nevertheless, rolA does not belong to the plast gene group because its function is still uncertain. Recent investigations have shown two important effects of the rolA gene. First, the production of secondary metabolites has changed in long-term cultivated rolA-transgenic calli of Rubia cordifolia L. Second, the expression of both the rolA and rolB genes has a strong auxin-dependent antagonistic effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis. In this work, we attempted to elucidate two rolA gene phenomena: what caused the secondary metabolism of long-term cultured calli to change? How does the individual expression of the rolA gene affect ROS homeostasis? We analysed SNPs in the 5' untranslated region and coding region of the rolA gene. These mutations do not affect the known essential amino acids of the RolA proteins. Notably, in the promoter of the rolA gene, an ACTTTA motif for auxin-mediated transcription factors was identified. Using two separate cell cultures, we demonstrated the strong auxin dependence of rolA gene expression. The expression of genes involved in ROS metabolism decreased in response to an auxin-mediated increase in rolA gene expression. Two assumptions can be made. The long-term cultivation of calli may cause changes in the hormonal state of the culture over time, which may modulate the action of the RolA protein. Moreover, auxin-dependent expression of the rolA gene led to a decrease in ROS metabolism. It can be assumed that the antagonistic interaction between rolA and rolB prevents strong rolB-induced auxin sensitivity and oxidative bursts to balance the cell state.</p>","PeriodicalId":20177,"journal":{"name":"Planta","volume":"261 1","pages":"20"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142877818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, we observed a novel allometry on poplar stems, with copious colorful adventitious roots (ARs) induced by fungal canker pathogens. Here, we reveal chemical, physiological, and molecular mechanisms of AR coloration in poplar-pathogens (Valsa sordida/Botrosphaeria dothidea) interaction system using our phloem girdling-inoculation system. Light-induced coloration in ARs: red/rosy under sunlight, and milky white under shading. Chemical and metabolomic analyses indicated that numerous (93 in all 110) and high relative intensities/contents of flavonoids metabolites (mainly including flavonols, flavones, and anthocyanins class) accumulate in red ARs, some flavones and anthocyanins metabolites all contribute to the color of poplar ARs, and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside is the most abundant colorant. Integrated analysis of metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis suggested that sunlight exposure redirected the metabolomic flux from the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway to the flavonols and flavones branch pathways, induced by the upregulation of FLS (flavonol synthase/flavanone 3-hydroxylase) and other structural genes. The anthocyanins metabolomic analysis and the downregulation of the ANS (anthocyanin synthase) gene illustrated a retard of metabolomic flux from leucoanthocyanidins to anthocyanidins. Metabolomic results and the upregulation of the gene BZ1 (Bronze 1, anthocyanin 3-O-glucosyltransferase) illustrated that sunlight triggered a rapid biosynthesis of anthocyanin metabolites in poplar ARs, which based on the substrate level of anthocyanidins.
