FER mutation results in hypersensitivity to salt stress, but disruption of ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase 1 (GLU1), an enzyme that participates in the photorespiratory pathway by producing glutamate, greatly suppresses fer-4 hypersensitivity to salt stress primarily due to reduced glycine yield. In contrast, disrupting mitochondrial serine hydroxymethyltransferase1 (SHM1), which is supposed to increase glycine levels by hampering the conversion of glycine to serine in the photorespiratory cycle, aggravates fer-4 hypersensitivity to salt stress. Biochemical data show that FER interacts with and phosphorylates SHM1, and this phosphorylation modulates SHM1 stability. Additionally, the production of proline and its intermediate △1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C), which are both synthesized from glutamate, also contributes to fer-4 hypersensitivity to salt stress.

These PRRs belong to the leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase (LRR-RK) family and activate the production of reactive oxygen species via the NADPH oxidase RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOG D (RBOHD). The PRR-RBOHD complex is tightly regulated to prevent unwarranted or exaggerated immune responses. However, certain pathogen effectors can subvert these regulatory mechanisms, thereby suppressing plant immunity. To elucidate the intricate dynamics of the PRR-RBOHD complex, we conducted a comparative coimmunoprecipitation analysis using EFR, FLS2, and RBOHD in Arabidopsis thaliana. We identified QIAN SHOU KINASE 1 (QSK1), an LRR-RK, as a PRR-RBOHD complex-associated protein. QSK1 downregulated FLS2 and EFR abundance, functioning as a negative regulator of PRR-triggered immunity (PTI). QSK1 was targeted by the bacterial effector HopF2Pto, a mono-ADP ribosyltransferase, reducing FLS2 and EFR levels through both transcriptional and transcription-independent pathways, thereby inhibiting PTI. Furthermore, HopF2Pto transcriptionally downregulated PROSCOOP genes encoding important stress-regulated phytocytokines and their receptor MALE DISCOVERER 1-INTERACTING RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 2.

The EpM is linked to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The most abundant membrane lipid in diatoms is monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), synthesized by galactosyltransferases called MGDG synthases (MGDs), conserved in photosynthetic eukaryotes and considered to be specific to chloroplast membranes. Similar to angiosperms, a multigenic family of MGDs has evolved in diatoms, but through an independent process. We characterized MGDα, MGDβ and MGDγ in Phaeodactylum tricornutum, combining molecular analyses, heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and studying overexpressing and CRISPR-Cas9-edited lines. MGDα localizes mainly to thylakoids, MGDβ to the PPM, and MGDγ to the ER and EpM. MGDs have distinct specificities for diacylglycerol, consistent with their localization. Results suggest that MGDα is required for thylakoid expansion under optimal conditions, while MGDβ and MGDγ play roles in plastid and non-plastid membranes and in response to environmental stress.

However, how BR signaling integrates with AG functions to control the female reproductive process remains elusive. Here, we showed that the regulatory role of BR signaling in proper ovule development is mediated by the transcriptional repressor gene ZINC FINGER PROTEIN 11 (ZFP11), which is a direct target of AG. ZFP11 expression initiates from the placenta upon AG induction and becomes prominent in the funiculus of ovule primordia. Plants harboring zfp11 mutations showed reduced placental length with decreased ovule numbers and some aborted ovules. During ovule development, the transcription factor BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1 (BZR1), which functions downstream of BR signaling, inhibits ZFP11 expression in the chalaza and nucellus. Weakened BR signaling leads to stunted integuments in ovules, resulting from the direct repression of INNER NO OUTER (INO) and WUSCHEL (WUS) by extended ZFP11 expression in the chalaza and nucellus, respectively. In addition, the zfp11 mutant shows reduced sensitivity to BR biosynthesis inhibitors and can rescue outer integument defects in brassinosteroid insensitive 1 (bri1) mutants. Thus, the precise spatial regulation of ZFP11, which is activated by AG in the placenta and suppressed by BR signaling in the central and distal regions of ovules, is essential for ensuring sufficient ovule numbers and proper ovule formation.</p>","PeriodicalId":20186,"journal":{"name":"Plant Cell","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11638486/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142381491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss evidence for a framework that accounts for most of this syndrome. Disruption of chloroplast biogenesis prevents the production of signals required to progress through discrete steps in the program of photosynthetic differentiation, causing retention of juvenile states. As a result, expression of PhANGs and other genes that act late during photosynthetic differentiation is not initiated, while expression of genes that act early is retained. The extent of juvenility, and thus the transcriptome, reflects the disrupted process: lack of plastid translation blocks development very early, whereas disruption of photosynthesis without compromising plastid translation blocks development at a later stage.
