Indeed, full opening of plant stomata requires vacuole fusion to occur. Fusion of vacuole membranes is a highly conserved process in eukaryotes, with key roles played by two multi-subunit complexes: HOPS (homotypic fusion and vacuolar protein sorting) and SNARE (soluble NSF attachment protein receptor). HOPS is a vacuole tethering factor that is thought to chaperone SNAREs from apposing vacuole membranes into a fusion-competent complex capable of rearranging membranes. In plants, recruitment of HOPS subunits to the tonoplast has been shown to require the presence of the phosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. However, chemically depleting this lipid induces vacuole fusion. To resolve this counter-intuitive observation regarding the role of HOPS in regulating plant vacuole morphology, we defined a quantitative model of vacuole fusion dynamics and used it to generate testable predictions about HOPS-SNARE interactions. We derived our model by using simulation-based inference to integrate prior knowledge about molecular interactions with limited, qualitative observations of emergent vacuole phenotypes. By constraining the model parameters to yield the emergent outcomes observed for stoma opening-as induced by two distinct chemical treatments-we predicted a dual role for HOPS and identified a stalled form of the SNARE complex that differs from phenomena reported in yeast. We predict that HOPS has contradictory actions at different points in the fusion signalling pathway, promoting the formation of SNARE complexes, but limiting their activity.</p>","PeriodicalId":36138,"journal":{"name":"in silico Plants","volume":"6 2","pages":"diae015"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11599693/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142751899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there exist such datasets for other domains, these resources need development in the plant sciences. Here, we present the Plant ScIenCe KnowLedgE Graph (PICKLE) corpus, a collection of 250 plant science abstracts annotated with entities and relations, along with its annotation guidelines. The annotation guidelines were refined by iterative rounds of overlapping annotations, in which inter-annotator agreement was leveraged to improve the guidelines. To demonstrate PICKLE’s utility, we evaluated the performance of pretrained models from other domains and trained a new, PICKLE-based model for entity and relation extraction. The PICKLE-trained models exhibit the second-highest in-domain entity performance of all models evaluated, as well as a relation extraction performance that is on par with other models. Additionally, we found that computer science-domain models outperformed models trained on a biomedical corpus (GENIA) in entity extraction, which was unexpected given the intuition that biomedical literature is more similar to PICKLE than computer science. Upon further exploration, we established that the inclusion of new types on which the models were not trained substantially impacts performance. The PICKLE corpus is therefore an important contribution to training resources for entity and relation extraction in the plant sciences.","PeriodicalId":36138,"journal":{"name":"in silico Plants","volume":"6 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135087098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These methods also require users to specify parameters such as cluster number and size, adding complexity to the analysis. To address these challenges, we employed a recently developed algorithm, Partitioned Local Depth (PaLD), to generate cohesive networks for 4 time series transcriptome datasets (3 hormone and 1 abiotic stress dataset) from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. PaLD provided a cohesive network representation of the data, revealing networks with distinct structures and varying numbers of connections between transcripts. We utilized the networks to make predictions about GRNs by examining local neighborhoods of transcripts with highly similar temporal responses. We also partitioned the networks into groups of like-responding transcripts and identified enriched functional and regulatory features in them. Comparison of groups to clusters generated by commonly used approaches indicated that these methods identified modules of transcripts that have similar temporal and biological features, but also identified unique groups, suggesting a PaLD-based approach (supplemented with a community detection algorithm) can complement existing methods. These results revealed that PaLD could sort like-responding transcripts into biologically meaningful neighborhoods and groups while requiring minimal user input and producing cohesive network structure, offering an additional tool to the systems biology community to predict GRNs.","PeriodicalId":36138,"journal":{"name":"in silico Plants","volume":"14 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135430060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mechanistic models and machine learning are two modelling options to consider in this perspective. In this study, regression (MR) and Random Forest (RF) models were calibrated for wheat yield prediction in Morocco, using data collected from 125 farmers’ wheat fields. Additionally , MR and RF models were calibrated both with or without remotely-sensed leaf area index (LAI), while considering all farmers’ fields, or specifically to agroecological zoning in Morocco. The same farmers’ fields were simulated using a mechanistic model (APSIM-wheat). We compared the predictive performances of the empirical models and APSIM-wheat. Results showed that both MR and RF showed rather good predictive quality (NRMSEs below 35%), but were always outperformed by APSIM model. Both RF and MR selected remotely-sensed LAI at heading, climate variables (maximal temperatures at emergence and tillering), and fertilization practices (amount of nitrogen applied at heading) as major yield predictors. Integration of remotely-sensed LAI in the calibration process reduced NRMSE of 4.5% and 1.8 % on average for MR and RF models respectively. Calibration of region specific models did not significantly improve the predictive. These findings lead to the conclusion that mechanistic models are better at capturing the impacts of in-season climate variability and would be preferred to support short term tactical adjustments to farmers’ practices, while machine learning models are easier to use in the perspective of mid-term regional prediction.","PeriodicalId":36138,"journal":{"name":"in silico Plants","volume":"31 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135430034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending on the season, variation in tillering can result in increased or decreased yield. Reduced tillering has been associated with water-saving and enhanced yield in water-limited conditions. The objective of this study was to develop a generic model of the dynamics of tillering in sorghum incorporating key genetic and environmental controls. The dynamic of tillering was defined in four key phases – pre-tillering, tiller emergence, cessation of tiller emergence, and cessation of tiller growth. Tillering commenced at full expansion of leaf four and thereafter was synchronised with leaf appearance. The potential total number of tillers (TTN) was dependent on a genetic propensity to tiller and an index of assimilate availability dependent on the shoot source-sink balance. Cessation of tiller emergence could occur before TTN depending on extent of competition from neighbours. Subsequent cessation of growth of emerged tillers was related to the extent of internal competition for assimilate among plant organs, resulting in prediction of final fertile tiller number (FTN). The model predicted tillering dynamics well in an experiment with a range in plant density. Plausibility simulations of FTN conducted for diverse field conditions in the Australian sorghum belt reflected expectations. The model is able to predict fertile tiller number as an emergent property. Its utility to explore GxMxE crop adaptation landscapes, guide molecular discovery, provide a generic template for other cereals, and link to advanced methods for enhancing genetic gain in crops were discussed.","PeriodicalId":36138,"journal":{"name":"in silico Plants","volume":"40 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135874837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we developed a kinetic model of rice grain filling, which scales from the primary biochemical and biophysical processes of photosynthesis to whole-plant carbon and nitrogen dynamics. The model reproduces the rice yield formation process under different environmental and genetic perturbations. In silico screening identified a range of post-anthesis targets—both established and novel—that can be manipulated to enhance rice yield. Remarkably, we pinpointed the stability of grain filling rate from flowering to harvest as a critical factor for maximizing grain yield. This finding was further validated in two independent super-high yielding rice cultivars, each yielding approximately 21 t ha -1 of rough rice at 14% moisture content. Furthermore, we revealed that stabilizing the grain filling rate could lead to a potential yield increase of around 30-40% in an elite rice cultivar. Notably, the cumulative grain filling rates around 15- and 38-days post-flowering significantly influence grain yield, and we introduced an innovative in situ approach using ear respiratory rates for precise quantification of these rates. We finally derived an equation to predict maximum dried brown rice yield (Y, t ha -1) of a cultivar based on its potential gross photosynthetic accumulation from flowering to harvest (Apc, t CO2 ha -1): Y = 0.74 * Apc + 1.9.

To address this problem, it is critical to understand precisely how geometric and material parameters of the maize stalk influence stalk strength. Computational models could be a powerful tool in such investigations, but current methods of creating computational models are costly, time-consuming, and most importantly, do not provide parameterized control of the maize stalk parameters. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a parameterized three-dimensional model of the maize stalk. The parameterized model provides independent control over all aspects of the maize stalk geometry and material properties. The model accurately captures the shape of actual maize stalks and is predictive of maize stalk stiffness and strength. The model was validated using stochastic sampling of material properties to account for uncertainty in the values and influence of mechanical tissue properties. Results indicated that buckling is influenced by material properties to a greater extent that flexural stiffness. Finally, we demonstrate that this model can be used to create an unlimited number of synthetic stalks from within the parameter space. This model will enable the future implementation of parameter sweep studies, sensitivity analysis and optimization studies, and can be used to create computational models of maize stalks with any desired combination of geometric and material properties.","PeriodicalId":36138,"journal":{"name":"in silico Plants","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49379892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we present the latest version of the open-source three-dimensional Functional-Structural Plant Model CPlantBox with PiafMunch and DuMu x coupling. This new implementation can be used to study the interactions between known or hypothetical processes at the plant scale. We simulated semi-mechanistically the development of generic C3 monocots from 10 to 25 days after sowing and undergoing an atmospheric dry spell of one week (no precipitation). We compared the results for dry spells starting on different days (day 11 or 18) against a wetter and colder baseline scenario. Compared with the baseline, the dry spells led to a lower instantaneous water use efficiency. Moreover, the temperature-induced increased enzymatic activity led to a higher maintenance respiration which diminished the amount of sucrose available for growth. Both of these effects were stronger for the later dry spell compared with the early dry spell. We could thus use CPlantBox to simulate diverging emerging processes (like carbon partitioning) defining the plants’ phenotypic plasticity response to their environment.
