The present study explored the ascorbate-glutathione cycle and ascorbate regeneration under high concentration (30 mM) of cadmium in the tea plant ( Camellia sinensis L.). The tea leaves showed speckles and necrosis from the third day of Cd treatment. The content of superoxide anion (O 2 . - ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in the leaves were significantly higher until the seventh day after Cd treatment. The content of O 2 . - and H 2 O 2 were the highest on the fifth day (212.7 and 153.6 % of the control, respectively). The AsA content increased (86.9 %) on the first day after Cd treatment and decreased significantly in the subsequent days, while GSH showed a reverse trend. The enzymatic activity assays showed that dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and glutathione reductase (GR) involved in AsA regeneration were downregulated considerably after Cd foliar application. In contrast, the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) increased on the first day and then declined. Reverse-transcription quantitative PCR showed upregulation of glutathione synthetase (CsGSHS), γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase (Csγ-ECS), and CsMDHAR of the AsA regeneration pathway and downregulation of CsDHAR and CsGR. The expressions of GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase (CsGGP), L-galactose-1-phosphate phosphatase (CsGPP), and L-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (CsGaILDH) of the L-galactose pathway were also downregulated. The results indicated that AsA, which can respond to Cd stress of plants by increasing antioxidant ability, was consumed to scavenge ROS; moreover, Cd stress inhibited AsA synthesis and regeneration, which made that tea plants suffering severe damage.","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44053113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In colon cancer, most but not all studies suggest that the AhR exhibits tumor suppressor activity which is enhanced by AhR ligands acting as agonists. Our studies investigated the role of the AhR in colon tumorigenesis using wild-type and AhR-knockout mice, the inflammation model of colon tumorigenesis using mice treated with azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) and APC^S580/+; Kras^G12D/+ mice all of which form intestinal tumors. The effects of tissue-specific AhR loss in the intestine of the tumor-forming mice on colonic stem cells, organoid-initiating capacity, colon tumor formation and mechanisms of AhR-mediated effects were investigated. Loss of AhR enhanced stem cell and tumor growth and in the AOM/DSS model AhR-dependent suppression of FOXM1 and downstream genes was important for AhR-dependent anticancer activity. Furthermore, the effectiveness of interleukin-22 (IL22) in colonic epithelial cells was also dependent on AhR expression. IL22 induced phosphorylation of STAT3, inhibited colonic organoid growth, promoted colonic cell proliferation in vivo and enhanced DNA repair in AOM/DSS-induced tumors. In this mouse model, the AhR suppressed SOCS3 expression and enhanced IL22-mediated activation of STAT3, whereas the loss of the AhR increased levels of SOCS3 which in turn inhibited IL22-induced STAT3 activation. In the APC^S580/+; Kras^G12D/+ mouse model, the loss of the AhR enhanced Wnt signaling and colon carcinogenesis. Results in both mouse models of colon carcinogenesis were complemented by single cell transcriptomics on colonic intestinal crypts which also showed that AhR deletion promoted expression of FOXM1-regulated genes in multiple colonic cell subtypes. These results support the role of the AhR as a tumor suppressor-like gene in the colon.</p>","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":"30 1","pages":"93-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11034912/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73658549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cucumber seedlings were acclimatized to radiation without FR (FR-) for 1 - 5 d after germination, and then transferred to radiation containing FR (FR+) at levels similar to those in natural sunlight. Other seedlings were acclimatized to FR-or FR+, which was maintained continuously. The sudden increase in FR damaged the cotyledons and the first true leaf, especially when radiation was changed from FR-to FR+ at days 3 or 4 after germination. Necrosis of the damaged leaves may have resulted from inhibition of water flow in leaf xylem, because wilting and decreased stomatal conductance were observed simultaneously with leaf necrosis. Plants in the treatment groups that showed the most frequent damage showed two peaks in cotyledon elongation. This suggests that the leaves that had been acclimatized to FR-were easily damaged by the sudden promotion of leaf expansion caused by FR+.","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41563620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nursery stock breeding is an effective means to restore endangered species, such as Horsfieldia hainanensis Merr., with difficulty in natural regeneration period. In this study, we investigated the optimum combination of irradiance and nitrogen for the cultivation of H. hainanensis seedlings by comparing twenty treatments with different combinations of irradiances (100, 67.5, 45.7, 15.6 % of full natural irradiance) and five levels of N supply (0, 1.8, 3.6, 5.4, 7.2 g plant -1 ). We found that the growth and photosynthetic efficiency of seedlings under full irradiance were significantly inhibited compared with shaded seedlings. Under full irradiance, a lack of N resulted in reduced chlorophyll (Chl) synthesis, causing lower photosynthetic efficiency and an imbalance in metabolism. Proper shading (67.5 and 45.7 % of natural irradiance) and N addition (1.8 - 5.4 g plant -1 ) promoted root development, increase Chl content and photosynthesis, and ultimately the accumulation of larger amount of biomass. The biomass of the shaded seedlings was mainly distributed to aboveground tissues, while seedlings exposed to stronger radiation accumulated greater root biomass. Therefore, the best seedling management for this species is a combination of 67.5 % of natural irradiance and moderate N supply (4.6 g plant -1 ).","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41518801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the inhibitory effect has been studied in several dicotyledon species, little is known about the effects and subsequent signaling processes in monocots. Here, we measured the growth, counted the number of lateral and crown roots, determined greenness index, quantified the production of O 2.- and H 2 O 2 , and determined the expressions of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes ( SOD s and CAT s) in rice ( Oryza sativa L.), a model plant of monocots. After 7 d of germination, rice roots were exposed to 0, 75, and 150 µg cm -3 of esDNA. Inhibitory effect was found to be negatively correlated to esDNA concentration, as indicated by the length of primary roots. Interestingly, this negative effect was only observed in the directly exposed organ (root) but not in the length of shoot or fresh mass of the whole seedling. The percentage of greenness index of leaves and number of crown and lateral roots were also similar across treatments. However, esDNA exposure to root increased production of O 2.- and H 2 O 2 in the root. At the molecular level, the response was characterized by the decreased expression of the antioxidant genes SOD 3, CAT B, and CAT C. These findings suggest that esDNA inhibits rice growth locally in, e.g. in treated roots, and the responses involve increased production of ROS and suppression of antioxidants. This study could be the basis for determining the combination of concentration and period of exposure that might significantly inhibit total growth of monocot weeds with a minimum effect on the crop.","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43585648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand the expression mode of PYL genes in response to various abiotic stresses in Chinese cabbage ( Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis ), the members of BrPYL gene family were first identified with the relevant bioinformatics software. And then, the relative expressions of identified BrPYLs after heat, cold, drought, and salt treatments for 0, 24, 48, and 72 h were determined via real-time quantitative PCR. Here, we identified 24 PYLs in the B. rapa genome. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, these BrPYL genes were divided into three classes and distributed on ten chromosomes in Chinese cabbage. Most of BrPYL genes in the same group have similar gene structures and intron numbers. There were seven genes ( BrPYL 5, BrPYL8 , BrPYL22 , BrPYL3 , BrPYL18 , BrPYL11 , and BrPYL21 ) from Group A with two introns and one gene ( BrPYL19 ) from Group D with one intron. Analysis of conserved motifs suggested that every group contained motif 2 containing the Polyketide_cyc2 domain. Subsequently, the prediction of cis -acting elements indicated that BrPYL genes had 5 stress-related elements and 5 hormone-related elements, among which the number of MYC (dehydration reaction) was the highest, suggesting that BrPYL genes could respond to hormones and abiotic stresses. Expression patterns under four abiotic stresses showed that the expressions of BrPYL4 , BrPYL11 , BrPYL21 , and BrPYL23 responded to these stresses at different time points. To conclude, we identified the BrPYL genes and build the BrPYLs expression mode in response to various abiotic stresses.

The study was conducted on male and female European yew specimens, collected from the Botanical Garden of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow during three seasons. Male specimens had significantly higher content of insoluble carbohydrates compared to the females ones. In the first year of the needles life, the dry mass and content of soluble carbohydrates increased significantly. In the third year of the needles’ life, the content of amino acids increased significantly and the content of soluble proteins decreased. The highest differences between the genders in the individual months were observed in the soluble carbohydrates and amino acids amounts and the least in the soluble proteins. The growth of the new needles seems to be at least partly sustained by carbohydrates remobilization from the older needles. In conclusion, male and female yews differ in their metabolism. These gender differences may vary with the needles’ age. For this reason, the needle samples of different age should not be mixed, and the sampling time should be chosen carefully. For one-year-old needles, a potentially interesting gender marker may be an increased content of free amino acids in June and July, and high content of soluble carbohydrates in January, while for two-year-old needles, an increased content of free amino acids in male individuals from September. March seems to be an interesting month, as it shows significant differences between the genders in terms of all biochemical fe atures studied in this research.","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41918167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
