Here, we tested the potential of the natural plant substances <i>Glycyrrhiza glabra</i> leaf extract (GE) and the rhamnolipid Rhapynal (Rha) applied to seeds to protect against infection of sugar beet and wheat with soil-borne plant viruses. The soil-borne <i>Polymyxa betae-</i> and <i>Polymyxa graminis</i>-transmitted viruses cause extensive crop losses in agriculture and efficient control strategies are missing. We show that GE and Rha both efficiently protect plants against infection with soil-borne viruses in sugar beet and wheat when applied to seeds. Moreover, the antiviral protection effect is independent of the cultivar used. No protection against <i>Polymyxa sp.</i> was observed after seed treatment with the bio-substances at our analysis time points<i>.</i> However, when we applied the bio-substances directly to soil a significant anti-<i>Polymyxa graminis</i> effect was obtained in roots of barley plants grown in the soil as well as in the treated soil. Despite germination can be affected by high concentrations of the substances, a range of antiviral protection conditions with no effect on germination were identified. Seed-treatment with the bio-substances did not negatively affect plant growth and development in virus-containing soil, but was rather beneficial for plant growth. We conclude that seed treatment with GE and Rha may represent an efficient, ecologically friendly, non-toxic, easy to apply and cost efficient biocontrol measure against soil-borne virus infection in plants.</p>","PeriodicalId":20177,"journal":{"name":"Planta","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142184267","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}

Here, the male and female plants of <i>S. linearistipularis</i> were subjected to salt stress with nitrogen-starvation or nitrogen-supplement treatments, and it was found that nitrogen significantly affects the difference in salt tolerance between male and female plants, with nitrogen-starvation significantly enhancing the salt stress tolerance of female plants compared to male plants. Transcriptional analyses showed 66 differentially expressed nitrogen-responsive genes in female and male roots, with most of them showing sexual differences in expression patterns under salinity stress. RNA-seq and RT-qPCR analysis demonstrated that six genes had an opposite salt-induced expression pattern in female and male roots. The expression of the 4-hydroxy-tetrahydrodipicolinate synthase encoding gene (<i>SlDHDPS</i>) in female roots was higher than that in male roots. Further treatment with exogenous lysine could significantly alleviate the inhibitory effect of salt stress on the growth of female and male plants. These results indicate that the <i>SlDHDPS</i> in the nitrogen metabolism pathway is involved in the resistance of <i>S. linearistipularis</i> to salt stress, which lays a foundation for further exploring the mechanism of nitrogen on salt tolerance of <i>S. linearistipularis</i>, and has a significant reference value for saline-alkali land management and sustainable agricultural development.</p>","PeriodicalId":20177,"journal":{"name":"Planta","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142184270","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}

Oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) is a key member for regulating natural rubber biosynthesis (NRB) via the triterpenoid biosynthesis pathway. To explore the functions of OSC on natural rubber producing in TKS, its gene family members were identified in TKS genome via genome-wide screening. Nine <i>TkOSCs</i> were identified, which were mainly distributed in the cytoplasm. Their family genes experienced a neutral selection during the evolution process. Overall sequence homology analysis OSC proteins revealed 80.23% similarity, indicating a highly degree of conservation. Pairwise comparisons showed a multiple sequence similarity ranging from 57% to 100%. Protein interaction prediction revealed that TkOSCs may interact with baruol synthase, sterol 1,4-demethylase, lupeol synthase and squalene epoxidase. Phylogenetic analysis showed that OSC family proteins belong to two branches. <i>TkOSC</i> promoter regions contain <i>cis-</i>acting elements related to plant growth, stress response, hormones response and light response. Protein accumulation analysis demonstrated that TkOSC4, TkOSC5 and TkOSC6 proteins had strong expression levels in the root, latex and plumular axis.

Because drought is among the main impediments limiting sugarcane production in these regions, breeding of drought-tolerant sugarcane varieties is important for sustainable production. <i>Erianthus arundinaceus</i>, a species closely related to sugarcane, exhibits high intrinsic water-use efficiency (<i>iWUE</i>), the underlying mechanisms for which remain unknown. To improve the genetic base for conferring drought tolerance in sugarcane, in the present study, we performed a comprehensive comparative analysis of leaf gas exchange and metabolites in different organs of sugarcane and <i>Erianthus</i> under wet and dry soil-moisture conditions. <i>Erianthus</i> exhibited lower stomatal conductance under both conditions, which resulted in a higher <i>iWUE</i> than in sugarcane. Organ-specific metabolites showed gradations between continuous parts and organs, suggesting linkages between them. Cluster analysis of organ-specific metabolites revealed the effects of the species and treatments in the leaves. Principal component analysis of leaf metabolites confirmed a rough ordering of the factors affecting their accumulations. Compared to sugarcane leaf, <i>Erianthus</i> leaf accumulated more raffinose, betaine, glutamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and <i>S</i>-adenosylmethionine, which function as osmolytes and stress-response compounds, under both the conditions. Our extensive analyses reveal that the high <i>iWUE</i> of <i>Erianthus</i> may be due to the specific accumulation of such metabolites in the leaves, in addition to the low stomatal density on the abaxial side of leaves.
