In the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, JASMONATE ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins act as repressors by inhibiting the activity of MYELOCYTOMATOSIS (MYC) transcription factors. However, the role of JAZ proteins in modulating tea plant resistance to Colletotrichum camelliae, a major causal pathogen of tea anthracnose, remains largely unexplored. In our previous study, yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed an interaction between CsJAZ11 and CsMYC2.2, a transcription factor that negatively regulates tea plant resistance to C. camelliae. In this study, bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays further confirmed that CsJAZ11 interacts with CsMYC2.2 in the nucleus. Co-immunoprecipitation assays also validated this interaction. To investigate the role of CsJAZ11 in regulating tea plant resistance to C. camelliae, transient silencing and overexpression of CsJAZ11 were performed in tea plant leaves. Notably, transient silencing of CsJAZ11 attenuates disease resistance to C. camelliae, while overexpression of CsJAZ11 enhanced disease resistance, suggesting that CsJAZ11 positively regulates tea plant resistance to C. camelliae. Surprisingly, qRT-PCR analysis showed that CsJAZ11 did not inhibit the expression of CsMYC2.2. In contrast, CsJAZ11 positively influenced the expression of CsRPM1, a MeJA-responsive CNL gene essential for disease resistance to C. camelliae in tea plants. Our findings indicate that CsJAZ11 positively regulates tea plant resistance to C. camelliae, potentially through the modulation of CsRPM1, an NBS-LRR-encoding gene.

Platanus × acerifolia is known as the king of the street tree, but its annual seed trichome and leaf trichome problem seriously affects human health and life. C2H2-zinc finger protein (C2H2-ZFP) regulates plant stress, flower development, leaf morphogenesis, and trichome formation. The sing C2H2 ZFP family is a subfamily of ZFP involved in the development of trichome. In this study, we used bioinformatic-based techniques to identify 31 single ZFP genes. The results of conserved motifs analysis showed that all members had highly conserved QALLGGH sequences. By cis-acting element analysis, it was found that the PaC1-1i-ZFPs promoter responds to many hormone and stress-related elements. Most of the genes were expressed in all tissues, with PaZFP6a being the most highly expressed in the trichome, so it was used as a target gene and transformed model plants for functional verification. The findings demonstrated that PaZFP6a possessed transcriptional activation activity and was located in the nucleus. Overexpression of the gene in tobacco results in a two-fold increase in leaf glandular hair density and a three-fold increase in glandular hair length. The expression of endogenous NtCTTC, NtPhP and NtCYP7D16 were significantly increased in PaZFP6a transgenic tobacco lines. In Arabidopsis thaliana, overexpression of PaZFP6a leads to an increase in sepal trichomes.

Targeting metal transporters to the vacuole via genetic engineering offers a strategy to enhance plant tolerance to toxic metals like cadmium (Cd) by promoting vacuolar sequestration. Understanding the influence of different expression patterns of metal transporters is crucial for elucidating Cd-tolerance mechanisms. This study investigated how ubiquitous (p35S promoter) versus mesophyll-specific (pRBCS1A promoter) expression of a tonoplast-targeted bacterial metal transporter, MerC-AtVAM3 (CV), impacts Cd tolerance, nutrient homeostasis, and subcellular Cd distribution in Arabidopsis. While the short-term plate assays revealed only slight tolerance improvements, the long-term hydroponic Cd treatments (0.5 µM and 1 µM) resulted in significant enhancement in the CV-expressing lines. Notably, the p35S-CV line, which ubiquitously expresses the transgene, exhibited stronger tolerance (improved growth, mitigated chlorosis confirmed by higher SPAD values) compared to the mesophyll-specific pRBCS1A-TCV lines, particularly under 1 µM Cd. Nutritional profiling indicated that CV expression alleviated some Cd-induced nutrient imbalances. Although root Cd accumulation was similar across lines, p35S-CV shoots displayed approximately 30% lower Cd concentration compared to the wild-type (Col-0) and pRBCS1A lines under 1 µM Cd conditions. In Col-0 mesophyll cells, subcellular analysis using the Leadmium Green dye showed Cd was preferentially localized in the peripheral cytoplasm. The Leadmium Green signal also exhibited strong co-localization with chloroplasts. Conversely, CV expression effectively redirected Cd to the central vacuole, confirming efficient sequestration by the tonoplast-targeted MerC.

The increasing occurrence of extreme weather events in recent years has intensified water scarcity in watermelon cultivation, significantly reducing both yield and quality. At present, the exploration of watermelon drought resistance genes is limited, which limits the use of molecular breeding for drought resistance. In current study, we identified CINCINNATA (CIN) subclass members of the TEOSINTE BRANCHED 1/CYCLOIDEA/PCF (TCP) family in watermelon through sequence alignment and homologous clustering analysis. Analysis of the gene expression characteristics showed that CIN-TCP members are induced by exogenous hormones and abiotic stresses.

The gene-edited lines (CR lines) of ClTCP4 were constructed and were used to confirm its role in regulating the drought tolerance. Under drought stress, CR lines showed earlier leaf wilting, smaller stomatal opening, lower leaf water holding capacity and photosynthetic efficiency compared with YL plants.

Anthocyanins are synthesized and transported to vacuoles for storage via Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). However, the regulatory mechanisms of GSTs in Brassica plants are still unclear. Thus, integrated metabolomic and transcriptome analyses screened GST involved in mustard anthocyanin transport.

This upregulates COX5B, UPOX, and UCP. AtGLR3.4.2 maintains redox homeostasis, highlighting AtGLR3.4 receptors' role in mitochondrial stress. Glutamate receptors (iGluRs/mGluRs) play a crucial role in cognitive processes in mammals. Studies in humans have shown that the overexpression of glutamate receptors increases Ca<sup>2</sup>⁺ influx into the cell, leading to nitric oxide (NO) accumulation, which in turn induces mitochondrial stress. Dysregulated activity of (iGluRs/mGluRs) is linked to depression, psychosis, and neurodegenerative diseases in humans. In plants, GLRs are involved in carbon and nitrogen metabolism and seed germination. Research in Arabidopsis has shown that GLRs play a key role in generating and responding to stress signals. However, it remains unknown how GLR-mediated changes in NO levels affect mitochondria in plants. To address this question, our study investigated the effects of AtGLR3.4.1 and AtGLR3.4.2 receptors on mitochondrial stress under nitrosative stress conditions. For this purpose, we used A. thaliana wild type and atglr3.4 mutants (atglr3.4.1 and atglr3.4.2). To induce mitochondrial stress, we applied 80 µM Complex I inhibitor Rotenone. We examined the accumulation of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), the effectiveness of the antioxidants responsible for their scavenging, cellular redox balance, and the expression of mitochondrial stress-related genes. The absence of AtGLR3.4.1 increased ROS accumulation by inhibiting catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and disrupting the GSH/GSSG and NAD/NADH ratios. In atglr3.4.2 mutants, ROS-related oxidative damage was regulated by the ascorbate-glutathione cycle. atglr3.4.1 knockout increases the transcription of stress-related genes (COX5B, UPOX, and UCP), highlighting its role in oxidative stress management. These findings highlight AtGLR3.4 is crucial for preventing excessive ROS and redox homeostasis under mitochondrial stress responses.</p>","PeriodicalId":20204,"journal":{"name":"Plant Cell Reports","volume":"44 7","pages":"164"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12213875/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144542003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
