Herein, fourteen activity-based fluorescent probes were assayed against Arabidopsis O-methyltransferases (AtOMTs). One probe, 3-BTD, displayed a high selectivity, reactivity, and fluorescence response toward AtOMTs especially the isoform AtCCoAOMT. We further characterized the features of this probe and explored whether it could be used to detect OMT activities in living plant cells. Our results show that 3-BTD can be used to visualize OMT activity in Arabidopsis, and no fluorescent signal was observed in the comt/ccoaomt double mutant, indicating that it has good specificity. Interestingly, in contrast to the observation that AtCCoAOMT-YFP accumulated in both cytoplasm and nucleus, OMT enzymatic activity tracked by 3-BTD probe was found only in the cytoplasm. This underscores the importance of activity-based sensing in studying protein function. Moreover, 3-BTD can be successfully applied in OMT visualization of different plants. This study indicates that 3-BTD can serve as a potential probe for in situ monitoring the real activity of OMT in multiple plants and provides a strategy for visualizing the activity of other enzymes in plants.","PeriodicalId":48887,"journal":{"name":"New Phytologist","volume":" ","pages":"1901-1915"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142134267","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}

Such models underlie inferences of mesophyll conductance and the relative humidity of leaf airspaces, reported to fall as low as 80%. An unresolved question is whether such series models are biased with respect to real leaves, whose internal air spaces are chambered at various scales by vasculature. To test whether unsaturation could emerge from modeling artifacts, we compared series model estimates with true parameter values for a chambered leaf with varying distributions and magnitudes of leaf surface conductance ('patchiness'). Distributions of surface conductance can create large biases in gas exchange calculations. Both apparent unsaturation and internal CO2 gradient inversion can be produced by the evolution of broader distributions of stomatal apertures consistent with a decrease in surface conductance, as might occur under increasing vapor pressure deficit. In gas exchange experiments, the behaviors of derived quantities defined by simple series models are highly sensitive to the true partitioning of flux and stomatal apertures across leaf surfaces. New methods are needed to disentangle model artifacts from real biological responses.","PeriodicalId":48887,"journal":{"name":"New Phytologist","volume":" ","pages":"1812-1823"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142141556","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 analyzed Rdark variability and its associations with Vcmax and other leaf traits across three temperate, subtropical and tropical forests in China, evaluating the effectiveness of leaf spectroscopy as a superior monitoring alternative. We found that leaf magnesium and calcium concentrations were more significant in explaining cross-site Rdark than commonly used traits like LMA, N and P concentrations, but univariate trait-Rdark relationships were always weak (r2 ≤ 0.15) and forest-specific. Although multivariate relationships of leaf traits improved the model performance, leaf spectroscopy outperformed trait-Rdark relationships, accurately predicted cross-site Rdark (r2 = 0.65) and pinpointed the factors contributing to Rdark variability. Our findings reveal a few novel traits with greater cross-site scalability regarding Rdark, challenging the use of empirical trait-Rdark relationships in process models and emphasize the potential of leaf spectroscopy as a promising alternative for estimating Rdark, which could ultimately improve process modeling of terrestrial plant respiration.","PeriodicalId":48887,"journal":{"name":"New Phytologist","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142666699","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}

Adaptor and signalling proteins, along with phosphoinositides, are known to play a regulatory, yet poorly defined role in this process. Here we investigated the function of Arabidopsis ECA4 and EPSIN3, putative mediators of the process, in pollen tubes and root hairs. Homozygous eca4 and epsin3 plants exhibited altered pollen tube morphology (in vitro) and self-pollination led to fewer seeds and shorter siliques. These effects were augmented in eca4/epsin3 double mutant and quantitative polymerase chain reaction data revealed changes in phosphoinositide metabolism and flowering genes suggestive of a synergistic action. No visible changes were observed in root morphology, but atomic force microscopy in mutant root hairs showed altered structural stiffness. Imaging and FRET-FLIM analysis of ECA4 and EPSIN3 X-FP constructs revealed that both proteins interact at the plasma membrane but exhibit slightly different intracellular localization. FT-ICR-MS metabolomic analysis of mutant cells showed changes in lipids, amino acids and carbohydrate composition consistent with a role in secretion and growth. Characterization of double mutants of eca4 and epsin3 with phospholipase C genes (plc5, plc7) indicates that phosphoinositides (e.g. PtdIns(4,5)P2) are fundamental for a combined and complementary role of ECA4-EPSIN3 in cell secretion.","PeriodicalId":48887,"journal":{"name":"New Phytologist","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142648939","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}

Phosphate (Pi) deficiency is a common stress for plants, and plants often interact with soil microbes, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), to cope with Pi stress. Little is known about whether dodder transmits Pi deficiency-induced systemic signals between different hosts. In this study, dodder-connected plant clusters, each composed of two tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants connected by a dodder, were established, and in each cluster, one of the two tobacco plants was treated with Pi starvation. AMF colonization efficiency, rhizosphere bacterial community, and transcriptome were analyzed in the other dodder-connected Pi-replete tobacco plant to study the functions of interplant Pi signals. We found that dodder transfers Pi starvation-induced systemic signals between host plants, resulting in enhanced AMF colonization, changes of rhizosphere bacterial communities, and alteration of transcriptomes in the roots of Pi-replete plants. Importantly, genetic analyses indicated that microRNA399s (miR399s) and strigolactones suppress the systemic Pi signals and negatively affect AMF colonization in the Pi-replete plants. These findings provide new insight into the ecological role of dodder in mediating host-host and host-microbe interactions and highlight the importance of strigolactone and miR399 pathways in systemic Pi signaling.","PeriodicalId":48887,"journal":{"name":"New Phytologist","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142648930","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}

We used an in silico prediction analysis to identify a sRNA (Rir2216) from the AM fungus Rhizophagus irregularis and its putative plant gene target, the Medicago truncatula MtWRKY69 transcription factor. Heterologous co-expression assays in Nicotiana benthamiana, 5' RACE reactions and AGO1-immunoprecipitation assays from mycorrhizal roots were used to characterize the Rir2216-MtWRKY69 interaction. We further analyzed MtWRKY69 expression profile and the contribution of constitutive and conditional MtWRKY69 expression to AMS. We show that Rir2216 is loaded into an AGO1 silencing complex from the host plant M. truncatula, leading to cleavage of a host target transcript encoding for the MtWRKY69 transcription factor. MtWRKY69 is specifically downregulated in arbusculated cells in mycorrhizal roots and increased levels of MtWRKY69 expression led to a reduced AM colonization level.

By integrating different genetic/genomic techniques, we investigated: variation and integration of floral components (scent, color and shape); phenotypes and genomic regions under divergent selection; and the genomic bases of trait variation. We identified a large genomic island of divergence, likely associated with phenotypic variation in particular in floral odor. We detected potential divergent selection on macular color, while stabilizing selection was suspected on floral morphology and for several volatile olfactive compounds. We also identified candidate genes involved in anthocyanin and in steroid biosynthesis pathways associated with standing genetic variation in color and odor. This study sheds light on early differentiation in Ophrys, revealing patterns that often become invisible over time, that is the geographic mosaic of traits under selection and the early appearance of strong genomic divergence.

One example of replicated evolution is the awn, an organ elaboration in grass inflorescences. Awns are likely homologous to leaf blades. We hypothesized that awns have evolved repeatedly because a conserved leaf blade developmental program is continuously activated and suppressed over the course of evolution, leading to the repeated emergence and loss of awns. To evaluate predictions arising from our hypothesis, we used ancestral state estimations, comparative genetics, anatomy, and morphology to trace awn evolution. We discovered that awned lemmas that evolved independently share similarities in developmental trajectory. In addition, in two species with independently derived awns and differing awn morphologies (Brachypodium distachyon and Alopecurus myosuroides), we found that orthologs of the YABBY transcription factor gene DROOPING LEAF are required for awn initiation. Our analyses of awn development in Brachypodium distachyon, Alopecurus myosuroides, and Holcus lanatus also revealed that differences in the relative expansion of awned lemma compartments can explain diversity in awn morphology at maturity. Our results show that developmental conservation can underlie replicated evolution and can potentiate the evolution of morphological diversity.","PeriodicalId":48887,"journal":{"name":"New Phytologist","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142648938","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}
