HPV VLPs are composed of the major structural protein L1 and are used as vaccines against HPV infections which are the main causal agent of cervical and other anogenital cancers. We characterized Physcomitrella chloroplast transit peptides, which we used for targeting of moss-produced L1 to chloroplasts, leading to higher recombinant protein yield compared to nuclear or cytoplasmic localization. We confirmed subcellular localization with confocal laser scanning microscopy and found L1 to accumulate within the chloroplast stroma. Production in 5-L photobioreactors yielded over 0.3 mg L1 per gram fresh weight. We established a purification protocol for moss-produced L1 using a combination of ammonium sulphate precipitation and cation exchange chromatography.

Previous studies have shown that miR862b exhibits a strong response in the early stages of SCN infection across different soybean varieties; however, its role in the mechanism and function of SCN tolerance remains unclear.

The postulated framework indicates a divergence model involving (i) photoprotection, structural reinforcement, and defense priming, (ii) systemic metabolic reprograming for growth and defense, and (iii) hormonal signalling modulation for stress response. These insights offer a data-driven blueprint for the next generation of sustainable, effective, and field-ready bioformulations. Microbial consortia are currently recognized as a promising strategy for sustainable agriculture due to their ability to enhance plant growth, improve soil health, and mitigate environmental stresses. However, the biochemical and molecular mechanisms governing these beneficial effects on crops under field conditions remain poorly understood, and differential effects due to different microbial formulations are enigmatic. This study, therefore, aims to unravel the metabolic alterations, in maize plants, induced by three microbial biostimulants, under field conditions at different growth stages. Leaves from biostimulant-treated and untreated control maize plants were harvested at different time points. Metabolites were extracted using methanol. The extracts were analyzed on LC-MS/MS system. Computational metabolomics workflows and AI-driven strategies such as molecular networking and machine learning methods (PCA and OPLS-DA) were applied to mine and interpret spectral data. Machine learning models revealed the common and unique significant metabolites among the consortia at the vegetative stage. One of the key findings was that hydroxycinnamic acid (HCA) derivatives are the discriminatory metabolites differentiating the effects of the three microbial consortia on maize plants. Moreover, the results showed that consortia application significantly impacted primary and secondary maize metabolism, reprogramming biological pathways such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis, tyrosine metabolism, the citrate cycle (TCA cycle), flavone and flavonol biosynthesis, and flavonoid biosynthesis. These pathways are associated with plant defense, priming and development. Thus, this study sheds light on the complex molecular interactions between maize and microbial biostimulants under real-world conditions. It reveals that distinct microbial formulations differentially influence plant metabolism by reprogramming defense- and growth-related pathways. These actionable insights establish a foundational framework for functionally characterizing microbial consortia and pave the way for the rational design of next generation biostimulants tailored to specific crop needs and growth stages.</p>","PeriodicalId":20204,"journal":{"name":"Plant Cell Reports","volume":"44 10","pages":"211"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12426160/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145041052","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}

Whole genome duplication (WGD) has been shown to enhance stress tolerance in plants.

Investigating how WGD affects gene expression in stress conditions could provide better understanding for use of diploid genetic resources. In this work, we compared the drought response of neotetraploid plants obtained by bilateral sexual polyploidization with diploid full sibs, by measuring physiological and biochemical traits and RNA-seq. Without drought, 4x plants had lower photosynthetic potential than 2x plants per unit leaf area, but larger leaves allowed them to outperform the per leaf photosynthetic potential of 2x plants. Physiological and biochemical traits were significantly affected by drought in both 2x and 4x plants, but the differences between ploidies were small and nonsignificant. Proline levels were higher in 4x than 2x plants, both in control and drought conditions, indicating that larger cells with higher volume-to-surface ratio of 4x  plants require a higher osmolyte concentration. RNA-seq and gene network analyses showed that more genes were affected by drought at 4x than at 2x level, with downregulation of hundreds of genes involved in photosynthesis and stomatal movement at 4x level, suggesting that WGD made the 4x plants more responsive to drought.

The results revealed that FR light and GA significantly promoted internode elongation in cucumber seedlings, whereas a GA biosynthesis inhibitor (PAC) inhibited the promoting effect of FR light.

To overcome the limitations of traditional association panels in dissecting complex traits and to improve detection power and accuracy, this study constructed a multi-parent population (MPP). The MPP, consisting of 482 F<sub>7</sub> recombinant inbred lines (RILs), was developed by crossing three elite maize inbred lines (D39, R-2-1-1 and YML1218) with a backbone inbred line, Ye107. The study integrated two complementary approaches: genome-wide association study (GWAS) for fine-mapping and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, which is effective at detecting major-effect loci. Using these methods, 42 SNPs and 17 QTLs significantly associated with HGW were identified.
