As a rhizome herb, frequent flooding hinders its yield and quality. Recently, studies on the biosynthesis genes of salvianolic acid B have garnered considerable attention under abiotic stress. However, few reports focus on the impact of flooding on the biosynthesis of salvianolic acid B, and there is limited understanding of the potential mechanisms involved. This work found that the accumulation of salvianolic acid B under flooding stress was primarily due to increased ammonium nitrogen (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>). Among the numerous compounds, the substantial accumulation of primary metabolites captured our attention. Transcriptome sequencing further indicated that glutamate played a crucial role in responding to flooding stress. By integrating omics analysis, we constructed a co-expression network of <em>S. miltiorrhiza</em> under flooding stress and identified several candidate genes. The detailed analysis confirmed the role of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene (SmGDH3) in promoting the biosynthesis of salvianolic acid B in response to flooding/NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> signals. Subsequently, interaction analysis and transgenic assays revealed that SmGBF1 could bind to the promoter region of <em>SmGDH3</em>, enhancing its expression and ultimately leading to the accumulation of salvianolic acid B. Our results provide insights into the role of SmGBF1-SmGDH3 in the biosynthesis of salvianolic acid B, contributing to the improvement of the salvianolic acid B content of <em>S. miltiorrhiza</em>.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20234,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology and Biochemistry","volume":"228 ","pages":"Article 110252"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144764143","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}

The RabG subfamily proteins, in particular, play a role in regulating plant stress responses. This study revealed that the poplar RabG protein PdRabG3f exhibited tissue-specific activity in root epidermis, root hairs, and vascular stele. Functional characterization further demonstrated that overexpression of <em>PdRabG3f</em> in transgenic poplar significantly inhibited root elongation, reducing maximum root length, and fresh root weight, whereas suppression of <em>PdRabG3f</em> enhanced root growth — a phenotype consistent with its spatial expression pattern. In <em>PdRabG3f</em> overexpression lines, elevated endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) levels were observed, which correlated with enhanced ABA sensitivity and further inhibition of root elongation under exogenous ABA treatment. As a result, these lines exhibited improved resilience under salt stress, including higher peroxidase activity, reduced malondialdehyde content, and maintained relative water content. Transcriptome analysis further supported their enhanced salt tolerance, revealing significant upregulation of stress-responsive genes and enrichment in stress response pathways. These findings establish <em>PdRabG3f</em> as a negative regulator of root growth via ABA biosynthesis and highlight its role in enhancing salt tolerance through ABA-dependent stress signaling. This study provides novel insights into Rab protein-mediated hormonal regulation in woody plants, offering potential targets for improving stress resilience in poplar.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20234,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology and Biochemistry","volume":"228 ","pages":"Article 110233"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144632955","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}

As a phenolic signaling molecule with multiple biological functions, salicylic acid (SA) plays essential roles in regulating fruit growth and developmental processes. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying SA-mediated modulation of stone cell differentiation in pears remain poorly characterized. Our investigation revealed that exogenous application of 15 mg L<sup>−1</sup> SA decreased lignified stone cell formation in ‘Nanguo’ (<em>Pyrus ussuriensis</em>) pear fruits and significantly downregulating the expression of the lignin biosynthesis-related <em>PuPRX64</em>. mRNA-seq identified two transcription factors, PuWRKY29 and PuMYB62, which were significantly induced by SA. Functional characterization through transient expression assays in pear fruits and stable transgenic calli demonstrated that both factors act as negative regulators of stone cell formation and lignin accumulation. PuWRKY29 binds to the W-box <em>cis-</em>element within the <em>PuMYB62</em> promoter to activate its transcription, while simultaneously forming a protein complex that synergistically represses <em>PuPRX64</em> expression. Collectively, our findings suggest that exogenous SA treatment inhibits stone cell and lignin biosynthesis in pears via the PuWRKY29-PuMYB62 regulatory module.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20234,"journal":{"name":"Plant Physiology and Biochemistry","volume":"228 ","pages":"Article 110238"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144613970","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}
