Alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT) is a critical enzyme involved in the nitrogen assimilation process in plant cells, catalyzing the reversible transfer of an amino group from alanine to α-ketoglutarate. This reaction is essential for maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Previous studies have suggested that AlaAT plays a role in alleviating ammonium toxicity in plants. To investigate this hypothesis, transgenic Populus × xiaohei plants overexpressing AlaAT3 were generated, and their phenotypic, physiological, and transcriptional traits were compared with those of wild-type (WT) plants. Under treatment with 3 mM NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> ammonium nitrogen, the transgenic plants exhibited significantly enhanced root biomass. Compared with WT plants, the transgenic lines demonstrated higher activities of GS, SOD, and CAT enzymes, while POD activity was notably reduced. Levels of soluble protein, free amino acids, sucrose, starch, soluble sugars, and proline were significantly elevated, whereas concentrations of O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>, and NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> were markedly reduced. Transcriptomic analysis revealed significant enrichment in glutathione metabolism, peroxisome, nitrogen metabolism, and starch and sucrose metabolism pathway in the transgenic plants, with corresponding genes displaying notable transcriptional changes. Regulatory network analysis identified key transcription factors, including WRKY53, DOF3.4, and DOF1.5, as potential regulators of ammonium toxicity resistance in these transgenic lines. These findings demonstrate that AlaAT3 overexpression enhances Populus × xiaohei tolerance to NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> by modulating glutathione metabolism, peroxisome, nitrogen metabolism, and starch and sucrose metabolism pathway.

Flowering regulation in Rosa chinensis is essential for improving ornamental and commercial traits, but its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified and characterized ten members of the PLANT AT-RICH SEQUENCE AND ZINC-BINDING (PLATZ) protein family in R. chinensis through genome-wide analysis and protein domain validation using the Pfam database. Among these, we focused on RcPLATZ8, a novel negative regulator of flowering. Expression analysis via RT-qPCR revealed that RcPLATZ8 is predominantly expressed in floral organs, including stamens, pistils, and petals, and exhibits significant responsiveness to key plant hormones, such as abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellins (GA), and jasmonic acid (JA). Functional assays showed that overexpression of RcPLATZ8 in Arabidopsis resulted in delayed flowering and increased leaf number, whereas silencing RcPLATZ8 in R. chinensis led to early flowering. Furthermore, Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) identified that RcPLATZ8 is part of the 'red module,' which is strongly associated with flowering-time regulatory genes, including SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP). These findings provide new insights into the molecular regulation of flowering in roses, demonstrating that RcPLATZ8 may plays a key role in integrating hormonal signals and floral development.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major oilseed crop of global importance, whose production is severely impacted by salinity. Here, we have explored the transcriptional response of peanut roots to salinity stress using deep sequencing. Further, we have unravelled the salinity-induced changes in peanut root methylome. When peanut seedlings were grown under high-salt conditions for 7 days, their root and shoot growth was significantly impaired. A large-scale transcriptional reprogramming was recorded where 1926 genes were down- and 3260 genes were up-regulated due to salt stress in peanut roots. The molecular response of peanut root comprised several layers of regulators, which included the genes related to ion transport, osmolyte accumulation, signal transduction, and salt stress-responsive genes. Several negative regulators are also differentially expressed in peanut roots, which may contribute to its susceptibility. This response is regulated by a large number of transcription factors (TFs) and epigenetically by changes in DNA methylation. The DNA methylation changes in roots were highly complex and context dependent when exposed to salt stress. An inverse relationship between the changes in gene expression and methylation status was partially observed for several important gene sets and TFs. A treatment with 5'-azacytidine recovered the inhibitory impact of salt stress in peanut roots. Thus, a complex multilayered molecular response to salinity in peanut roots was observed.

In plants, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) is a valuable technique for characterizing gene function and developing varieties with new traits. However, melon, as a cash crop, has proven to be recalcitrant to AMT. During AMT, the co-culture phase is crucial for the successful integration of T-DNA into the host genome by Agrobacterium tumefaciens (A. tumefaciens). To enhance the AMT efficiency in melon, we optimized the co-culture regime by extending the co-culture duration and removing sucrose from the medium. Extending the co-culture duration to 7 days, compared to the usual 2 to 4 days, allowed A. tumefaciens to infect melon explants at its optimal capacity. The removal of sucrose not only prevented excessive proliferation of A. tumefaciens during the extended culture but also reduced the triggering of a defense response in melon explants. Compared to the sucrose-addition co-culture for 4 days, sucrose-removal co-culture for 7 days increased the efficiency of melon transformation by 14 folds. In addition, this optimized co-culture has a synergistic effect with AtGRF5 overexpression on enhancing AMT in melon. Using this optimized transformation protocol, we successfully obtained tendril-less melon plants by knocking out CmTCP1 gene via gene editing, which holds significant breeding potential.

FT/TFL groups evolved from MFT, but then became sub-, neo-functionalized. The phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) gene family plays crucial roles in plant development, principally involved in flowering time regulation and seed development. Traditionally, PEBP genes are classified into three clades: MOTHER OF FT AND TFL1 (MFT), FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), and TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL). We used phylogenomic and microsynteny network analyses to explore the PEBP family across 275 plant genomes from different lineages. The phylogenetic tree of the identified 3707 PEBP proteins allows us to visualize a fourth clade within the PEBP family. This new clade, named SFT (Sibling of FT/TFL), is closely related to the MFT clade but sister to the branch point of FT/TFL subfamilies, suggesting a long-standing evolutionary divergence. In addition, the SFT subfamily is in a different genomic context, whereas FT and TFL share a common origin with MFT. Motif analyzes show differences between this new clade and those already reported, suggesting functions other than flowering or seed development. The Ka/Ks analysis also suggests that SFT clade had fewer duplication events, so these genes could have an important function for the plant that had not yet been elucidated. These findings offer new insights into the evolutionary history and functional diversification of PEBP genes in plants. This study provides an update on the classification of the PEBP family.

In our study, we employed a genome-wide association scan (GWAS) to investigate the concept of \"stress memory,\" wherein barley plants exposed to previous stress events exhibit enhanced responses to subsequent ones. We evaluated key agronomic traits, such as plant height, spike length, grain number, and thousand kernel weight along with biochemical markers such as chlorophyll content, proline, and soluble proteins across three generations under combined drought and heat stress. This approach encompassed transgenerational and intergenerational stress memory and a third generation that could reveal the potential cumulative effects of combined drought and heat stress. Our findings demonstrated a significant increase in metabolites specifically proline and soluble proteins in third-generation barley plants compared to those exposed to stress for only one or two generations. Through GWAS analysis, we identified 332 highly significant SNP markers clustered within 14 genomic regions on chromosomes 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, and 7H. These regions are associated with all evaluated physiological and morphological traits under stress that harbor several potential candidate genes implicated in regulating complex signaling pathways, reactive oxygen species scavenging, and energy metabolism processes essential for mitigating the impacts of drought and heat.

The transgene-induced co-suppression of fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) can be effectively released in rdr6 mutant, enabling a significant increase in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content in seeds. However, the global suppression of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 6 (RDR6) compromises plant growth and disease resistance. To address this limitation, we developed a spatiotemporal compensation strategy by restoring RDR6 expression in non-seed tissues using tissue-specific promoters while maintaining its low expression during seed maturation. To implement this goal, we identified P<sub>BnTC06</sub>, a Brassica napus promoter, through transcriptomic data mining and functional characterization. GUS staining revealed that the P<sub>BnTC06</sub> promoter drives strong gene expression in vegetative tissues (e.g., leaves, stems, and flowers) but exhibits negligible activity in mid- to late-stage-developing seeds. We introduced P<sub>BnTC06</sub>::RDR6 into Pha::AtFAD2/rdr6-11, the previously established high- PUFA Arabidopsis line. This intervention rescued the rdr6 mutant phenotype (characterized by gracile, downward-curling leaves) to wild-type morphology and restored RDR6 expression across non-seed tissues, while maintaining minimal expression in middle and late developing seeds. Crucially, FAD2 transcript levels remained at a high level during late seed development, resulting in sustained high PUFA accumulation in mature seeds. This strategy establishes a practical strategy to circumvent transgene co-suppression and proposes a modular framework for precision breeding of complex traits in crops.</p>","PeriodicalId":20204,"journal":{"name":"Plant Cell Reports","volume":"44 6","pages":"118"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144042013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
