A genetic locus on chromosome 11 was analyzed for chilling tolerance at the plumule stage in rice. The tolerant allele of A58, a japonica landrace in Japan, was inherited as a recessive gene (ctp-1A58), whereas the susceptible alleles from wild rice (Ctp-1W107) and modern variety (Ctp-1HY) were the dominant genes. Another recessive tolerant allele (ctp-1Silewah) was found in a tropical japonica variety (Silewah). Fine-mapping revealed that a candidate gene for the ctp-1 locus encoded a protein similar to the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) protein, in which frameshift mutation by a 73 bp-deletion might confer chilling tolerance in ctp-1A58. Analysis of near isogenic lines demonstrated that ctp-1A58 imparted tolerance effects only at severe chilling temperatures of 0.5 °C and 2 °C, both at plumule and seedling stages. Chilling acclimation treatments at wide range of temperatures (8 °C–16 °C) for 72 h concealed the susceptible phenotype of Ctp-1W107 and Ctp-1HY. Furthermore, short-term acclimation treatment of 12 h at 8 °C was enough to be fully acclimated. These results suggest that the NLR gene induces susceptible response upon exposure to severe chilling stress, however, another interacting gene(s) for acclimation response could suppress the maladaptive phenotype caused by the Ctp-1 allele. This study provides new insights for adaptation and breeding of rice in a low-temperature environment.","PeriodicalId":48955,"journal":{"name":"AoB Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135430173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, for the first time, we investigate the potential of using herbarium specimens as a resource for long read DNA sequencing technologies. We use target capture of 48 low copy nuclear loci in twelve herbarium specimens of Silene as a basis for long read sequencing using SMRT PacBio Sequel. The samples were collected between 1932 and 2019. A simple size selection protocol enabled retrieval of both long DNA fragments (> 1kb) and long on-target reads for nine of them. The limited sampling size does not enable statistical evaluation of the influence of specimen age to the DNA fragmentation, but our results confirm that younger samples, i.e. collected after 1990, are less fragmented and have better sequencing success than specimens collected before this date. Specimens collected between 1990 and 2019 yield between 167 and 3403 on-target reads > 1kb. They enabled recovering between 34 loci and 48 (i.e., all loci recovered). Three samples from specimens collected before 1990 did not yield on-target reads > 1 kb. The four other samples collected before this date yielded up to 144 reads, and recovered up to 25 loci. Young herbarium specimens seem promising for long read sequencing. However, older ones have partly failed. Further exploration would be necessary to statistically test and understand the potential of older material in the quest for long reads. We would encourage greatly expanding the sampling size and comparing different taxonomic groups.","PeriodicalId":48955,"journal":{"name":"AoB Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135430171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results suggest that rapid range expansion of Johnsongrass into diverse environments across wide geographies occurred largely without local adaptation, but that further range expansion may be restricted by a fitness trade-off which limits population growth at the range edge. Interestingly, plant competition strongly dampened Johnsongrass growth but did not change the rank order performance of populations within a garden, though this varied among gardens (climates). Our findings highlight the importance of including the range edge when studying the range dynamics of invasive species, especially as we try to understand how invasive species will respond to accelerating global changes.","PeriodicalId":48955,"journal":{"name":"AoB Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies on the peristome's hygroscopic movement and spore release have focused on mosses with \"perfect\" peristomes, such as Brachytheciaceae, whereas the hygroscopic movement type and spore release pattern of \"specialized\" peristomes, such as Regmatodon declinatus, are poorly understood. We investigated the relationship between the peristome's hygroscopic movement and spore release in the \"specialized\" peristome of R. declinatus by the measurement of peristome hygroscopic movement parameters and the hygroscopic movement spore release test. It was found that: ①Exostomes (EX) are significantly shorter than endostomes (EN), triggering the hygroscopic movement of telescopic peristomes, in which the EX rapidly elongate while closing in on the EN, and the teeth rapidly converge. ② Spore release was minimal when peristome movement was triggered alone. The number of spores released when exposed to wind was 124 times greater than in the absence of wind. Dry capsules released seven times more spores than wet capsules. The study reveals that the hygroscopic movement of \"telescopic\" peristomes of R. declinatus did not contribute significantly to spore release. More spores were released when wind and hygroscopic movement acted synergistically. Dry capsules released the maximum number of spores. It was also revealed that structural damage to capsules can facilitate complete spore release. Finally, we modeled the release of R. declinatus spores from initiation to complete release, namely the coupled release model of wind-water-capsule structural damage.","PeriodicalId":48955,"journal":{"name":"AoB Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135975633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tripsacum dactyloides (Eastern gamagrass) is a perennial, drought tolerant grass native to the tallgrass prairies of the central United States. The extent to which the microbiome of T. dactyloides contributes to its drought tolerance is unknown. Ninety-seven genotypes of T. dactyloides were collected from native populations across an east-west precipitation gradient in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, then grown together in a common garden for over 20 years. Root and leaf samples were visually examined for fungal density. Because fungal endophytes confer drought tolerant capabilities to their host plants, we expected to find higher densities of fungal endophytes in plants from western, drier regions, compared to plants from eastern, wetter regions. Results confirmed a negative correlation between endophyte densities in roots and precipitation at the genotype’s original location (r = -0.21 p=0.04). Our analyses reveal that the host genotype’s origin along the precipitation gradient predicts the absolute abundance of symbionts in the root, but not the relative abundances of particular organisms nor the overall community composition. Overall, these results demonstrate that genetic variation for plant-microbe interactions can reflect historical environment, and reinforce the importance of considering plant genotype in conservation and restoration work in tallgrass prairie ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":48955,"journal":{"name":"AoB Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135975801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Native Australian grain production has the potential to deliver environmental, economic, nutritional and cultural benefits to First Nations people and the wider community. Revitalisation of the native grain food system can only be achieved if relevant properties of the grains are elucidated. This study aimed to characterise the grain structure and histochemistry of four Australian native grasses: Dactyloctenium radulans (Button Grass), Astrebla lappacea (Curly Mitchell Grass), Panicum decompositum (Native Millet) and Microlaena stipoides (Weeping Grass). For these species, as well as wheat and sorghum, whole-grain images were obtained via stereo microscopy, starch and the embryo were visualised, and sections of fixed grains were imaged via bright-field and fluorescence microscopy. The shape, size and colour of the whole native grains varied between the species. The aleurone layer was one-cell thick in the native species, as in the domesticated grains, except for Weeping Grass, which had a two-cell-thick aleurone. In the native grains, endosperm cell walls appeared thinner than in wheat and sorghum. Starch granules in Button Grass, Curly Mitchell Grass and Native Millet were found mainly in the central region of the starchy endosperm, with very few granules in the sub-aleurone layer, whereas Weeping Grass had abundant starch in the sub-aleurone. Protein appeared most abundant in the aleurone and sub-aleurone layers of the native grains, although in Button Grass, the starchy endosperm was observed to be rich in protein, as in wheat and sorghum. As a proportion of the whole grain, the embryo was larger in the native species than in wheat. The differences found in the grain properties among the four native Australian species have important implications for the agri-food industry in a changing climate.","PeriodicalId":48955,"journal":{"name":"AoB Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135510225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the canopy- and satellite-scale, solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) provides a method to estimate the photosynthetic activity of plants across spatiotemporal scales. However, retrieving SIF signal remotely requires instruments with high spectral resolution, making it difficult and often expensive to measure canopy-level steady-state chlorophyll fluorescence under natural sunlight. Considering this, we built a novel low-cost photodiode system that retrieves far-red chlorophyll fluorescence emission induced by a blue light emitting diode (LED) light source, for 2 h at night, above the canopy. Our objective was to determine if an active remote sensing-based night-time photodiode method could track changes in canopy-scale LED-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (LEDIF) during an imposed drought on a broadleaf evergreen shrub, <i>Polygala myrtifolia</i>. Far-red LEDIF (720-740 nm) was retrieved using low-cost photodiodes (LEDIF_photodiode) and validated against measurements from a hyperspectral spectroradiometer (LEDIF_{hyperspectral}). To link the LEDIF signal with physiological drought response, we tracked stomatal conductance (<i>g</i>_sw) using a porometer, two leaf-level vegetation indices-photochemical reflectance index and normalized difference vegetation index-to represent xanthophyll and chlorophyll pigment dynamics, respectively, and a PAM fluorimeter to measure photochemical and non-photochemical dynamics. Our results demonstrate a similar performance between the photodiode and hyperspectral retrievals of LEDIF (<i>R</i>² = 0.77).

In light of this, and considering the knowledge gap regarding inflorescence trichomes in bromeliads, we aimed to investigate the presence, source and chemical nature of inflorescence secretions in species of the Tillandsioideae (Bromeliaceae) and to describe the anatomy of their floral bracts focusing on trichome structure and position. We conducted a prospection of secretory activity and anatomy in floral bracts in 52 species of Tillandsioideae and 1 early divergent Bromeliaceae species. We used histochemical tests to investigate the presence and nature of secretion combined with standard light microscopy methods. Secretion appears in all studied species of tribe Vrieseeae, in <i>Guzmania</i> species, <i>Wallisia cyanea</i>, <i>Tillandsia streptopylla</i> (Tillandsieae) and <i>Catopsis morreniana</i> (Catopsideae). It is absent in <i>Vriesea guttata</i> (Vrieseeae), <i>Racinaea crispa</i> and various <i>Tillandsia</i> species (Tillandsieae).

Bract anatomy revealed an internal mucilage-secreting tissue with wide distribution within the subtribe Vrieseinae. Our results point to a broad occurrence of secretion associated with bracteal scales in inflorescences of Tillandsioideae. Secretory function is strongly related to trichomes of the adaxial surface, whereas the indumentum of the abaxial side is lacking or likely associated with water absorption; the latter case is especially related to small, xeric plants.
