Seedlings were exposed to phenanthrene, pyrene, naphthalene, and fluoranthene at varying concentrations. Thirty-six compounds from birch leaf extracts were identified using LC–MS analysis, including catechin, quercitrin, caffeoylquinic acid. Significant findings included a reduction in shoot and root lengths, with phenanthrene at 200 µg L<sup>−1</sup> reducing shoot growth by up to 85% and root length by 69% in some families. Total phenol content increased in most families at higher pollutant concentrations, whereas total flavonoid content generally decreased. Notably, (epi)gallocatechin levels increased by up to 200% with naphthalene exposure, and catechin levels increased tenfold in some cases. The results underscore the differential responses among half-sib families to PAH exposure, with higher concentrations generally causing more pronounced negative effects on both growth and secondary metabolism.

In this study, the response of poplar roots to salt stress was deeply studied by time-course transcriptome, and a large number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified at different times. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), it was discovered that oxidative and osmotic stress regulation played a crucial role in resisting salt stress in the early salt stress response (3–6 h), and nitrogen metabolize and transport genes were identified as hub genes. At the middle stage of salt stress (12–24 h), the plants initiated extensive reprogramming to adapt to stress, and the transcription factors (TFs), WRKY53, MYB13 and NFXL1, were identified as hub genes. After 48 h of salt stress, seven <i>PdaHsp20</i> genes were identified as hub genes, which may alleviate the damage of salt stress. The genome-wide analysis of Hsp20s showed that the Hsp20 proteins were divided into 11 groups. A three-layer gene regulatory network with <i>PdaHsp20s</i> as the underlying gene was constructed and the unique <i>PdaERF72</i> was found by association analysis with the co-expression network, which may have important functions in regulating <i>PdaHsp20s</i> under salt stress. The expression level analysis of <i>PdaERF72</i> and <i>PdaHsp20s</i>, which have a direct connection with it, also indicated that some of them may have a negative regulation relationship after salt stress.

Due to its large spatial distribution, Douglas-fir (<i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>) is considered for conversion to climate-resilient forests. Specifically, provenances from moister coastal and drier and colder interior regions might differ in drought tolerance traits.

This study found that clonal line 11 of <i>L. ruthenicum</i> exhibited no thorns prior to transplantation. However, 40 days after transplantation, two distinct phenotypes emerged: thorny and thornless. Thorny plants exhibited significantly higher thorn frequency, larger stem diameters (both at the apex and base), increased leaf density, greater leaf width, and elevated photosynthetic rates in the apical buds and leaves compared to thornless plants. Histological analysis of paraffin sections demonstrated that the meristem tissues located at the axils of thornless stems progressively differentiated into axillary buds, without giving rise to thorn primordia. In contrast, the meristem tissues at the axils of thorny stems developed into thorn primordia, which subsequently matured into branch-thorns, while the tissues beneath the thorn primordia differentiated into axillary buds. The developmental stages of the apical bud and the upper four stem nodes were identified as critical periods determining the presence of thorns on the branch. RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis demonstrated that a <i>L. ruthenicum</i> sucrose synthase gene (<i>LrSUS</i>) was highly expressed in leaflets and leaf primordia, as well as in glandular hairs, but not in thorn structures. Additionally, real-time quantitative PCR analysis revealed that the expression level of <i>LrSUS</i> in the leaves of thorny plants was significantly higher than that observed in the leaves of thornless plants. These suggest that the <i>LrSUS</i> gene does not directly promote thorn formation through high expression in thorn primordia; instead, it may indirectly promote thorn development by its elevated expression in leaves and enhancing overall photosynthesis. This study elucidates the developmental process of thorn in <i>L. ruthenicum</i> line 11, emphasizes the role of <i>LrSUS</i> in thorn development, and lays a foundation for future gene screening and mechanistic investigations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":805,"journal":{"name":"Trees","volume":"39 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
