However, it is unclear whether vernalization is also required for spring wheat, which is frequently sown in fall, and what molecular mechanisms underlie the vernalization response in wheat varieties. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanisms that regulate vernalization response in winter and spring wheat varieties. For this purpose, we determined how major vernalization genes (<i>VRN1</i>, <i>VRN2</i>, and <i>VRN3</i>) respond to vernalization in these varieties and whether modifications to histones play a role in changes in gene expression. We also identified genes that are differentially regulated in response to vernalization in winter and spring wheat varieties. We found that in winter wheat, but not in spring wheat, <i>VRN1</i> expression decreases when returned to warm temperature following vernalization. This finding may be associated with differences between spring and winter wheat in the levels of tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) and tri-methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me3) at the <i>VRN1</i> gene. Analysis of winter wheat transcriptomes before and after vernalization revealed that vernalization influences the expression of several genes, including those involved in leucine catabolism, cysteine biosynthesis, and flavonoid biosynthesis. These findings provide new candidates for further study on the mechanism of vernalization regulation in wheat.</p>","PeriodicalId":20224,"journal":{"name":"Plant Diversity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11119517/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141155706","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}

However, very little is known about the stomatal sensitivity to vapour pressure deficit (VPD) in mangroves, and its co-ordination with stomatal morphology and leaf hydraulic traits. We measured the stomatal response to a step increase in VPD <i>in situ</i>, stomatal anatomy, leaf hydraulic vulnerability and pressure-volume traits in nine true mangrove species of five families and collected the data of genome size. We aimed to answer two questions: (1) Does stomatal morphology influence stomatal dynamics in response to a high VPD in mangroves? with a consideration of possible influence of genome size on stomatal morphology; and (2) do leaf hydraulic traits influence stomatal sensitivity to VPD in mangroves? We found that the stomata of mangrove plants were highly sensitive to a step rise in VPD and the stomatal responses were directly affected by stomatal anatomy and hydraulic traits. Smaller, denser stomata was correlated with faster stomatal closure at high VPD across the species of Rhizophoraceae, and stomata size negatively and vein density positively correlated with genome size. Less negative leaf osmotic pressure at the full turgor (π<sub>o</sub>) was related to higher operating steady-state stomatal conductance (<i>g</i><sub>s</sub>); and a higher leaf capacitance (<i>C</i><sub>leaf</sub>) and more embolism resistant leaf xylem were associated with slower stomatal responses to an increase in VPD. In addition, stomatal responsiveness to VPD was indirectly affected by leaf morphological traits, which were affected by site salinity and consequently leaf water status. Our results demonstrate that mangroves display a unique relationship between genome size, stomatal size and vein packing, and that stomatal responsiveness to VPD is regulated by leaf hydraulic traits and stomatal morphology. Our work provides a quantitative framework to better understand of stomatal regulation in mangroves in an environment with high salinity and dynamic water availability.</p>","PeriodicalId":20224,"journal":{"name":"Plant Diversity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11119510/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141155708","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}
