Flavonoid is a considerable index of peel color and nutritional quality in tomato fruit, where flavonoid biosynthesis is controlled by various phytohormones, including brassinosteroids (BRs). However, the underlying mechanism by which BR regulates flavonoid biosynthesis is still unknown. Here, we found that exogenous BR inhibits flavonoid accumulation, while reduced endogenous BR in RNA interference (RNAi) lines of SlCYP90B3, a rate-limiting BR biosynthetic gene, results in increased flavonoid content in fruit peel. Furthermore, we observed that BRI1-EMS-suppressor1 (SlBES1), a bHLH transcription factor essential for BR signaling, not only regulates fruit firmness, but also suppresses flavonoid accumulation by directly binding to the promoters of flavonoid biosynthetic genes SlCHS1, SlCHS2, and SlF3'H. Additionally, SlBES1 modulates a hierarchical transcriptional cascade to suppress flavonoid biosynthesis via repressing SlMYB12. Moreover, the homologous gene Brassinazole-resistant1 (SlBZR1) enhances the SlBES1-mediated repression of flavonoid accumulation. Specifically, SlBES1 predominantly inhibits the flavonoid biosynthesis, whereas SlBZR1 primarily enhances the carotenoid pathway. Interestingly, the variation of SlBES1 was correlated with flavonoid content during tomato domestication. Collectively, these findings provide new insights into novel role of SlBES1 as a negative regulator of flavonoid biosynthesis with potential for biofortification of flavonoid in tomato.","PeriodicalId":52373,"journal":{"name":"Plant Communications","volume":" ","pages":"101523"},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145034624","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}

Plants have evolved complex regulatory mechanisms to mitigate these stresses, including signaling networks that govern physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses. Among these, protein phosphorylation plays a pivotal role in stress adaptation; protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) proteins serve as key regulators across multiple signaling pathways. PP2Cs influence plant stress responses through interactions with various proteins, including SNF1-RELATED PROTEIN KINASE 2s (SnRK2s), abscisic acid (ABA) receptors, transcription factors, and ion channels, thereby fine-tuning signaling cascades and physiological adaptations under stress conditions. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the PP2C gene family in plants, emphasizing their structural characteristics, regulatory mechanisms, and functional roles in abiotic and biotic stress responses. We highlight the biological significance of PP2Cs in modulating critical pathways such as ABA, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and calcium signaling. Additionally, we explore the roles of PP2Cs in regulating root development, stomatal behavior, ion homeostasis, and immune responses, demonstrating their roles in coordinating plant developmental processes with adaptive responses to environmental challenges, particularly under resource-limited conditions. Finally, we identify current knowledge gaps and propose future research directions to advance the broader understanding of PP2C-mediated regulation of physiological functions, stress responses, and developmental signaling. Deeper insights into PP2C functions may facilitate novel strategies to promote crop resilience and enhance agricultural sustainability.","PeriodicalId":52373,"journal":{"name":"Plant Communications","volume":" ","pages":"101457"},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12447435/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144621176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The growing therapeutic demand for ECH has highlighted the need for scalable production. However, conventional methods face major limitations: chemical synthesis is hindered by the compound's structural complexity, and the yield of ECH extracted from plants is naturally low due to the host-dependent growth of Cistanche deserticola (C. deserticola), a parasitic desert plant. To establish a sustainable microbial production platform, we first deciphered the biosynthetic pathway of ECH in C. deserticola by integrating metabolomics analyses of plant tissues and callus cultures. This enabled the identification of key precursors, enzymatic steps, and regulatory mechanisms. Leveraging this knowledge, we engineered the pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, achieving de novo ECH biosynthesis at a titer of 7.52 ± 1.42 mg/l.

In this study, we reveal a novel function of FYVE4 in positively regulating plant salt resistance by modulating the Salt Overly Sensitive (SOS) signaling pathway. FYVE4 enhances SOS1 phosphorylation by promoting SOS1-SOS2 interactions during salt stress. Loss of FYVE4 reduces the SOS1-SOS2 association, leading to decreased SOS1 phosphorylation and increased plant sensitivity to salt stress. Notably, overexpression of SOS1 does not rescue the salt-sensitive phenotype of fyve4-1, whereas SOS2 overexpression does. In summary, our findings highlight the critical role of FYVE4 in promoting SOS1-SOS2 interactions to mitigate salt stress and reveal a previously unrecognized function of FYVE4 in abiotic stress responses, extending beyond its established role in membrane trafficking regulation.","PeriodicalId":52373,"journal":{"name":"Plant Communications","volume":" ","pages":"101428"},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12447447/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144499119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although some assembly tools are available, many are difficult to install or require extensive parameter tuning and computational resources. To address these limitations, we present a high-fidelity, data-driven mitochondrial genome assembly toolkit (HiMT), a user-friendly, out-of-the-box software solution that enables one-click chloroplast and mitochondrial genome assembly using default parameters, particularly for plant species. HiMT automatically estimates read coverage depth and employs a fixed k-mer prefix strategy to minimize computational demands, making it suitable for use on standard laptops. Benchmark tests show that HiMT delivers complete assemblies with a high success rate, fast runtimes, and low hardware requirements. Additionally, HiMT features a graphical user interface (GUI) and generates interactive reports for assessing the quality of organelle genome assemblies. We anticipate that HiMT will facilitate high-quality plant mitochondrial genome research and significantly streamline organelle genome assembly workflows.
