Typical symptoms of infection are stem swelling and axillary shoot outgrowth, whereas reduction in root biomass is another side effect. Using infected MT, we investigated whether impaired root growth derives from hormonal imbalance or sink competition. Intense stem swelling coincided with a reduction in root biomass, predominantly affecting lateral roots. RNA-seq analyses of root samples identified only a few differentially expressed genes involved in hormone metabolism, and root hormone levels were not expressively altered. Inoculation of the auxin highly-sensitive entire mutant genotype maintained the impaired root phenotype; in contrast, the low-cytokinin MT transgenic line overexpressing CYTOKININ OXIDASE-2 (35S::AtCKX2) with fewer symptoms did not exhibit root growth impairment. Genes involved in cell wall, carbohydrate, and amino acid metabolism were downregulated, accompanied by lower levels of carbohydrate and amino acid in roots, suggesting a reduction in metabolite availability. 13CO2 was supplied to MT plants, and less 13C was detected in the roots of infected MT but not in those of 35S::AtCKX2 line plants, suggesting that cytokinin-mediated sugar sink establishment at the infection site may contribute to impaired root growth. Exogenous sucrose application to roots of infected MT plants partially restored root growth. We propose that the impairment of lateral root development is likely attributed to disrupted sugar signalling and photoassimilate supply by establishing a strong sugar sink at the infected stem.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142976734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, salinity-induced changes to plant quality and defenses can in turn affect insect herbivores feeding on plants. This study investigates how salinity stress in tomato plants (Solanum Lycopersicum cv. Better Boy) impacts the behavior and performance of a devastating insect pest, the tomato fruitworm caterpillar (Helicoverpa zea). Through choice assays and performance experiments, we demonstrate that salt-stressed tomato plants are poor hosts for H. zea, negatively affecting caterpillar feeding preferences and growth rates. While changes in plant nutritional quality were observed, the primary factor influencing insect performance appears to be direct ionic toxicity, which significantly impairs multiple life history parameters of H. zea including survival, pupation, adult emergence, and fecundity. Plant defense responses show complex interactions between salt stress and herbivory, with two proteinase inhibitor genes - PIN2 and AspPI, showing a higher induced response to insect herbivory under salt conditions. However, plant defenses do not seem to be the main driver of reduced caterpillar performance on salt-treated plants. Furthermore, we report reduced oviposition by H. zea moths on salt-treated plants, which was correlated with altered volatile emissions. Our findings reveal that H. zea exhibits optimal host selection behaviours for both larval feeding and adult oviposition decisions, which likely contribute to its success as an agricultural pest. This research provides insights into the complex interactions between abiotic stress, plant physiology, and insect behaviour, with potential implications for pest management strategies in saline agricultural environments.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142976743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, FvPHR1 upregulated the expression of sugar will eventually be exported transporter 9 (FvSWEET9), which encodes a sugar transporter that facilitates sugar transport from leaves to fruit. FvPHR1 can enhance photosynthetic products in a source via the phosphate signalling pathway and facilitate sugar transport to a sink through FvSWEET9.

A previous study on poplar leaves revealed that environmental conditions outdoors promoted the deposition of about 10-fold more cuticular wax compared to the highly artificial climate of a growth chamber. Given that light was the most significant variable distinguishing the two locations, we hypothesized that the quantity of light might serve as a key driver of foliar wax accumulation. Thus, this study aimed to isolate the factor of light quantity (photosynthetic photon flux density [PPFD]) from other environmental stimuli (such as relative humidity and ambient temperature) and explore its impact on cuticular wax deposition and subsequent rates of residual foliar transpiration in different species. Analytical investigations revealed a significant increase in cuticular wax amount with increasing PPFD (between 50 and 1200 µmol m-2 s-1) in both monocotyledonous (maize and barley) and dicotyledonous (tomato and bean) crop species, without altering the relative lipid composition. Despite the increased wax coverages, rates of foliar water loss did not decrease, further confirming that the residual (cuticular) transpiration is independent of the cuticular wax amount.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142976731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand how this C4-type cell pattern is formed, we identified two SCARECROW (SCR) genes in C4 Flaveria bidentis, FbSCR1 and FbSCR2, that fully or partially complement the endodermal cell layer-defective phenotype of Arabidopsis scr mutant. We then created FbSCRs promoter β-glucuronidase reporter (GUS) lines of F. bidentis, which showed GUS expression in BSCs and their progenitor cells. The GUS expression pattern in F. bidentis transformants and comparison with the closely related C3-type Flaveria pringlei revealed that higher-order veins were initiated in the early leaf developmental stage. Treatment with an auxin polarity transport inhibitor decreased the MC area and led to vein formation without free ends, resulting in the formation of BSCs in positions adjacent to other BSCs. However, BSC differentiation was not affected, as evidenced by BSC specific FbSCR1 expression and RuBisCO accumulation. These results indicate that polar auxin transport is important for MC proliferation and/or differentiation, which leads to the formation of a C4-type cell pattern in which MCs and BSCs are equally adjacent.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142977042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it has been suggested that nitrate assimilation provides a sink for electrons under high light conditions. We tested this hypothesis by monitoring photosynthetic efficiency and the chloroplastic glutathione redox potential (chl-EGSH) of plant lines with mutated glutamine synthetase 2 (GS2) and ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase 1 (GOGAT1). Mutant lines incorporated significantly less isotopically-labelled nitrate into amino acids than wild-type plants, demonstrating impaired nitrogen assimilation. When nitrate assimilation was compromised, photosystem II (PSII) proved more vulnerable to photodamage. The effect of the nitrate assimilation pathway on the chl- EGSH was monitored using the chloroplast-targeted roGFP2 biosensor (chl-roGFP2). Remarkably, while oxidation followed by reduction of chl-roGFP2 was detected in WT plants in response to high light, oxidation values were stable in the mutant lines, suggesting that chl-EGSH relaxation after high light-induced oxidation is achieved by diverting excess electrons to the nitrogen assimilation pathway. Importantly, similar ΦPSII and chl-roGFP2 patterns were observed at elevated CO2, suggesting that mutant phenotypes are not associated with photorespiration activity. Together, these findings indicate that the nitrogen assimilation pathway serves as a sustainable energy dissipation route, ensuring efficient photosynthetic activity and fine-tuning redox metabolism under light-saturated conditions.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142942001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, five LbHKT genes were identified in L. bicolor, all belonging to subfamily 1 (HKT1). There are many cis-acting elements related to abiotic/biotic stress response on the promoters of the LbHKT genes. LbHKT1;1 was investigated in detail. Subcellular localization results showed that LbHKT1;1 is targeted to the plasma membrane. Functional analysis in yeast showed that LbHKT1;1 has a higher tolerance than AtHKT1;1 under high Na+ conditions. Silencing and overexpression of the LbHKT1;1 gene in L. bicolor showed that LbHKT1;1 negatively regulates salt secretion by the salt glands. Further experiments showed that LbbZIP52 can specifically bind to the ABRE element in the LbHKT1;1 promoter and regulate the expression of the LbHKT1;1 gene and is involved in the negative regulation of the salt secretion capacity of L. bicolor.

Elevated l-lactate levels resulted in increased activity of OsPdc2, which eventually led to enhanced ethanol production. The overexpression lines also accumulated higher levels of aspartate, glutamate and alanine, crucial for ROS reduction and energy production during recovery.
