In an earlier proof-of-concept study, we generated bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra; Pn) cells expressing the 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA hydratase/lyase gene of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 (PpHCHL). The encoded enzyme catalyzes the formation of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and vanillin from p-coumaroyl-CoA and feruloyl-CoA, respectively. The PpHCHL-transformed Pn cells accumulated mono-glucose conjugates (glucoside and glucose ester) of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and vanillic acid, indicating that the products (aldehydes) of the PpHCHL-catalyzed reaction were oxidized by endogenous enzyme(s) in Pn cells. In this study, we re-examined the extracts of PpHCHL-transformed Pn cells to screen for additional 4-hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. An unidentified compound was detected exclusively in the PpHCHL-transformed Pn cells. This compound was purified via column chromatography and then identified as a di-glucose conjugate of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (i.e., β-D-glucopyranosyl 4-O-β-D-glucopyranosylbenzoate), implying that some of the mono-glucose conjugates of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid were converted to the di-glucose conjugate by endogenous enzyme(s) in Pn cells. The maximum production titer of this di-glucose conjugate in the suspension-cultured cells was 0.38 g l-1, which was the second highest titer among the four glucose conjugates produced by the PpHCHL-transformed Pn cells. The study findings further support the utility of PpHCHL-transformed Pn cells for the bioproduction of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and its derivatives.","PeriodicalId":20411,"journal":{"name":"Plant Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11500581/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142506502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated changes in the flowering time of P. hybrida in response to water deficit over a 7-week period. Various levels of water stress-i.e., light, moderate, and severe-were imposed on plants grown in a greenhouse, and these were compared to a control group grown alongside. Remarkably, early flowering was observed under severe stress in P. hybrida for the first time, occurring 5.3 days earlier than in the control group. Furthermore, seeds collected from control and treatment plants were then used to assess drought stress memory in offspring. Seedlings were cultivated in a dehydration medium containing either PEG 8000 or a control MS medium. In the PEG 8000 medium, seedlings from parents exposed to moderate and severe drought stresses exhibited higher drought tolerance than those from well-watered conditions. Moreover, they also displayed significantly longer roots, more leaves, and a lower ion leakage rate. Taken together, these findings demonstrated the presence of positive transgenerational effects on progeny. Thus, while parental drought stress during reproduction stage may affect seed quality, it can enhance drought tolerance in the next generation via induction of stress memory.","PeriodicalId":20411,"journal":{"name":"Plant Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11500584/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142506498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transgenic plants grown in a greenhouse set fruits that accumulated β-carotene (∼1.67 µg g-1FW) in the T0 and T1 generations. In the present study, we grew T1 and T2 generations of the transgenic eggplant plants in artificial climate chambers to investigate their fruit set and β-carotene accumulation. No clear difference in β-carotene accumulation was observed in the fruit of transgenic plants grown under either HID (high-intensity discharge) or LED (light-emitting diode) light, or between T1 and T2 generations. The β-carotene accumulation (8.83 µg g-1FW on average) was approximately 5 times higher than the previous results obtained from greenhouse-grown plants. However, the fruit weight and size of the T-DNA (+) plants were significantly smaller than that of their null-segregant T-DNA (-) plants derived from the same line, suggesting that β-carotene accumulation may inhibit fruit development. Considering that a part of plants grown under LED irradiation failed to set fruits or set smaller fruits than those grown under HID irradiation, the light condition in the LED chamber may not be sufficient to promote fruit development. The present results are expected to provide valuable information for the selection of transgenic eggplants with high β-carotene content in fruit under artificial lighting.","PeriodicalId":20411,"journal":{"name":"Plant Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11500568/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142506501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This difference was seen even when the two cultivars were grown under a high CO2 concentration, which inhibits oxalate synthesis via photorespiration, suggesting that the difference resulted from genetic factors rather than environmental factors. To clarify whether genetic factors affect the oxalate content of rice leaves, we measured the contents of oxalate and oxalate-related organic acids in the leaves of various rice cultivars the Rice Core Collection (WRC) and Japan Rice Core Collection (JRC) by capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry.

Chemical priming, which can activate the response to environmental stress using chemical compounds, is a promising method of maintaining plant growth under stressful conditions. Recently, we found that the non-proteogenic amino acid N-acetylglutamic acid (NAG) confers tolerance to oxidative stress through the activation of genes related to scavenging reactive oxygen species in plants. However, it has been unknown whether NAG alleviates environmental stress except oxidative stress. Here, we revealed that the response to heat stress was enhanced by exogenous treatment with NAG in plants. NAG alleviated the reduction in chlorophyll content induced by heat stress in Arabidopsis thaliana. Gene expression analysis showed that NAG activates the transcription factor HSFA2, which is regarded as a master regulator of the transcriptional cascade in response to heat stress. NAG induces histone H4 acetylation, an active histone modification, at the HSFA2 locus, suggesting that NAG could activate the expression of HSFA2 based on epigenetic modifications such as histone acetylation. Additionally, we found that Oryza sativa treated with NAG showed tolerance to heat stress. These results suggest that NAG could be used for chemical priming in the maintenance of plant growth under heat-stress conditions.","PeriodicalId":20411,"journal":{"name":"Plant Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11500599/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142506499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
