Flowering time, an important agronomic trait of alfalfa, is pivotal for farmers to determine the optimal harvest stage, thereby maximizing economic benefits. However, the underlying molecular basis of flowering time regulation in alfalfa remains unclear. Here we generated a comprehensive full-length, seasonal and diurnal transcriptome atlas comprising 108 samples, including two sets of late- and early-flowering alfalfa across spring, summer and autumn in the natural environment. A total of 389 candidate flowering time-related genes were identified in alfalfa, of which 92 were differentially expressed between early and late flowering plants. Further, we revealed that flowering time regulation genes predominantly identified in spring were mainly involved in vernalization, while genes exclusively identified in summer and autumn were primarily involved in circadian and photoperiodic pathways. Moreover, diurnal dynamics of transcriptomes demonstrate the precise orchestration of various biological processes, including chloroplast development, redox processes, biotic stress responses, growth and development, occurs at designated times throughout the day in accordance with external environmental cues. Together, our results provide a valuable resource for future manipulation of genetic control of flowering time in alfalfa, and demonstrate how plants adapt to diurnal and seasonal environments.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603001","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}

While Sphingobium species have been reported as PGPRs, their capacity to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and the underlying regulatory mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Here, a strain 41R9, isolated from the rhizosphere of N-deficient rapeseed, was found to significantly enhance the growth performance of rapeseed under both low and normal N conditions. Genomic analysis revealed that strain 41R9 was closely related to Sphingobium yanoikuyae. 15N isotope tracer experiments confirmed that inoculation with strain 41R9 significantly boosted N uptake and translocation in rapeseed roots. Transcriptome profiling demonstrated that strain 41R9 directly upregulated N transporter genes (NRT2.5 and SLAH1/3), facilitating efficient N acquisition. Furthermore, strain 41R9 maintained jasmonic acid (JA) homoeostasis via JAZ-mediated negative feedback, balancing defense responses and root development, thereby improving the plant's N acquisition capacity in the roots. Metabolomic and in vitro assays further demonstrated that strain 41R9 displayed strong chemotaxis towards kaempferol, a N-deficiency-induced root exudate, suggesting kaempferol might as a chemical effector for S. yanoikuyae recruitment. These findings advance our understanding of PGPR-driven mechanisms in enhancing crop NUE and highlight the potential of harnessing PGPRs for sustainable agriculture.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603023","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, the regulatory mechanisms governing the response of organic acids to Mn toxicity remain largely elusive, particularly in perennial fruit crops. Herein, we investigated the physio-biochemical and transcriptomic responses of peach seedlings to Mn toxicity. Organic acids, especially malate, significantly increased in Mn-treated peach seedlings. Subsequently, malate application markedly mitigated Mn toxicity in peach. Further, we identified a key vacuolar malate transporter, PpTDT, whose expression was dramatically induced by both Mn and malate treatments. PpTDT was localised to the vacuolar membrane. Heterologous expression of PpTDT in yeast restored growth arrest and enhanced Mn tolerance. Overexpression of PpTDT in tobacco, peach leaves and roots enhanced Mn toxicity tolerance, and increased malate and Mn content. Conversely, silencing of PpTDT in peach seedlings exacerbated Mn toxicity, resulting in decreased malate and Mn content. These findings unveil the role of PpTDT in facilitating intracellular chelation of Mn through malate transport, thereby imparting Mn toxicity tolerance in peach. Our study also highlights the potential of malate as an natural compound for improving Mn toxicity tolerance in peach and potentially other fruit crops.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602986","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 controlled environments, variation in pot size can impact phenotypic and molecular outcomes and may bias experimental results. Here, we investigated how pot size affects the root system architecture and molecular responses of two barley genotypes, the landrace BERE and the modern elite CONCERTO, through assessment of shoot and root traits and by using X-ray computed tomography complemented by transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses. The two genotypes showed distinctly different adaptations to changes in pot size. The landrace showed greater stability and adaptability with consistent root traits and enhanced accumulation of osmoprotectant metabolites across different pot sizes with respect to CONCERTO. Conversely, the elite line was more sensitive to pot size variations, particularly showing altered root architecture and transcriptomic responses. Overall, this study highlights the importance of selecting an appropriate pot size for plant growth experiments, particularly when focused on root traits, and highlights the importance of considering the physiological and molecular changes due to growth environment choice in experimental design in barley.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595915","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}

The present study evaluates an inducible salt-tolerant sugarcane mutant M4209, developed via radiation-induced mutagenesis of elite check variety Co 86032, under heat (42/30°C; day/night), NaCl (200 mM) or heat + NaCl (HS)-stress conditions. Though heat application significantly improved plant growth and biomass in both genotypes, this beneficial impact was partially diminished in Co 86032 under HS-stress conditions, coinciding with higher Na+ accumulation and lower triacylglycerol levels. Besides, heat broadly equalised the negative impact on NaCl stress in terms of various physiological and biochemical attributes in both the genotypes, indicating its spaciotemporal advantage. The simultaneous up- and downregulation of antagonistic regulators, epidermal patterning factor (EPF) 9 (SoEPF9) and SoEPF2, respectively attributed to the OSD (Open Small Dense) stomatal phenotype in M4209, which resulted into enhanced conductance, transpirational cooling and gaseous influx. This led to improved photoassimilation, which was supported by higher plastidic:nonplastidic lipid ratio, upregulation of SoRCA (Rubisco activase) and better source strength, resulting in overall plant growth enhancement across all the tested stress scenarios. Taken together, the present study emphasised the knowledge-driven harnessing of stomatal-photosynthetic synergy for ensuring global sugarcane productivity, especially under \"salt-heat\" coupled stress scenarios.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571629","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}

Cuticular wax minimizes plant water loss and contributes to drought resistance. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is a widely used cool-season turfgrass worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of dynamic changes in cuticular wax in relation to drought resistance in Kentucky bluegrass remain unclear. Here, we compared molecular mechanisms of cuticular wax biosynthesis in two Kentucky bluegrass cultivars 'Maoershan' (drought-tolerant) and 'Brilliant' (drought-sensitive). The results showed that 'Brilliant' with lower wax content, suffered more severe morphological and physiological damage from drought stress than the 'Maoershan'. Through transcriptome analysis of these two cultivars, a hub gene of PpKCS6, involved in cuticular wax synthesis, was identified. Overexpression of PpKCS6 promoted the synthesis of very long-chain fatty acids, especially increased the content of fatty acids and alkanes with carbon chains above C24. This led to greater cuticular wax accumulation, which further protected the plants against water loss and improved photosynthesis and water use efficiency. Alternatively, RNAi-PpKCS6 lines exhibited the opposite performance to the overexpression line. These results demonstrate that PpKCS6 plays an important role in drought stress resistance by regulating wax biosynthesis.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571632","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}

Rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV) infection induces distinct morphological abnormalities in rice leaves, including leaf tip curling and serrated margins, through unknown pathogenic mechanisms. This study reveals that key regulatory microRNAs (miR164, miR319 and miR156) and their target genes (CUC, TCP and SPL) exhibit entirely opposite expression patterns in healthy and RRSV-infected leaves, indicating a profound impact on the leaf morphogenesis network. Significantly, the core protein OsCUC1, which typically functions by forming dimers, shows abnormal expression in the peripheral zone of the shoot apical meristem under viral infection, leading to disruptions in leaf development. OsTCP1 was found to dynamically regulate OsCUC1 dimer formation by modifying its subcellular localization and interacting with OsSPL14 and OsSPL17, thereby influencing their regulatory functions. Genetic disruptions of OsCUC1, OsTCP1 and OsSPL14/OsSPL17 enhance the severity of RRSV infection, demonstrating their critical involvement in the viral pathogenic strategy. The research uncovers a novel mechanism by which RRSV manipulates the expression and interactions of key regulatory factors, disrupting the delicate balance of the leaf morphogenesis network. These findings expand our understanding of viral manipulation of host development and provide a foundation for innovative strategies to enhance crop resilience.","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143565728","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}

Here, we characterised the effector MiISE23 and found that it could suppress plant immune responses. In situ hybridisation showed that MiISE23 was expressed in the subventral glands. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing MiISE23 were more susceptible to M. incognita, whereas host-derived RNAi of MiISE23 was found to decrease M. incognita infection in Arabidopsis. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that MiISE23 repressed jasmonate (JA) signalling by directly interacting with and suppressing jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile)-induced degradation of jasmonate ZIM-domain proteins by COI1. The expression of MiISE23 in Arabidopsis repressed the expression of JA-responsive genes and reduced the levels of endogenous JA-Ile. AtJAZ6 transgenic lines of Arabidopsis showed increased susceptibility to M. incognita infection.
