Their extensive use in cosmetics, as flavorings, in pharmaceuticals, in the chemical industry, and as biofuel substitutes has made terpenoids indispensable (Pyne et al. 2019). Although terpenoids have different chemical structures, they are biosynthesized from two interconvertible fivecarbon compounds: isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and its allylic isomer dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). These compounds are generated separately by the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) and mevalonic acid (MVA) pathways in plastids and the cytoplasm, respectively (Vattekkatte et al. 2018).

Excessive low temperatures restrict the regrowth of winter wheat, thus decreasing agricultural output. Non-enzymatic expansins, which are related to plant growth, have been reported to respond to drought, salinity, and low temperature stress. We obtained an expansin gene, TaEXPA9, that is induced by low temperature from a transcriptome analysis of ‘Dongnong winter wheat no. 2’—a winter wheat with high cold hardiness—but the expression pattern and function of this gene were unknown. We therefore analyzed the expression patterns of TaEXPA9-A/B/D in D2 in response to different abiotic stresses and exogenous phytohormone treatments in different organs. The entire length of TaEXPA9-A/B/D was obtained, and green fluorescent labeling was used for subcellular localization analysis of TaEXPA9-A/B/D on onion epidermis. The 35S::TaEXPA9-A/B/D expression vector was constructed, and an overexpression transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana line was obtained to examine the effects of the homologs of this expansin on plant growth and low temperature stress resistance. ResultsThe results showed that TaEXPA9-A/B/D transcription significantly increased at 4°C low temperature stress, its expression level was higher in the roots, and TaEXPA9-A/B/D was localized to the cell wall. The roots were well-developed in the overexpression A. thaliana, and the growth-related markers and setting rate were better than in the wild-type. Recovery was stronger in the overexpression plants after frost stress. At 4°C low temperature stress, the antioxidant enzyme activity and osmoregulatory substance content in the TaEXPA9-A/B/D-overexpressing A. thaliana plants were significantly higher than in the wild-type plants, and the degree of membrane lipid peroxidation was lower. ConclusionsIn summary, TaEXPA9-A/B/D participates in the low-temperature stress response and may increase the scavenging of reactive oxygen species caused by low temperature stress through the protective enzyme system. Additionally, TaEXPA9-A/B/D can increase the levels of small molecular organic substances to resist osmotic stress caused by low temperature.","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44066342","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}

The dehydration signals in plants trigger the synthesis of dehydration-induced cellular proteins (dehydrins) which were first observed in maize and barley in 1989 as reported in Yao et al.

The dehydrins are located in the cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplast (Xu et al. 2005). Further, dehydrins have been found in the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, and tonoplasts (Close et al. 1993, Close 1996). The extensive accumulation of dehydrins has been observed in the plant embryos during later developmental stages, just like other LEA proteins (Hanin et al. 2011). The dehydrins accumulate extensively in all vegetative tissues when plants are subjected to environmental stresses that may cause the dehydration of cells like osmotic stress, drought, salinity, and heat (Hanin et al. 2011).

How trehalose affects wheat respiration is unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of exogenous trehalose on the respiration of wheat seedlings during heat stress and the subsequent recovery period. Trehalose pretreatment significantly increased the expression of the alternative oxidase genes AOX1a and AOX1c under heat stress, indicating that trehalose pretreatment increased the capacity of the alternative respiration pathway (AP) in response to heat stress. Trehalose pretreatment also enhanced the activity of the malate-oxaloacetate (Mal-OAA) shuttle and ameliorated the decrease in photosynthetic activity caused by heat stress. However, when the AP was inhibited by salicylhydroxamic acid under heat stress, both Mal-OAA shuttle activity and photosynthetic efficiency were substantially reduced in the control and trehalose pretreatment groups. In addition, trehalose pretreatment helped to maintain inner mitochondrial respiratory activity and the activity of Complex II during heat stress, particularly the coupling of oxidative phosphorylation with the Complex II electron transport chain, thereby mitigating heat-related damage to the cytochrome pathway (CP). Taken together, these results suggest that exogenous trehalose enhanced the AP and reduced damage to the CP under heat stress in wheat seedlings, thus maintaining cellular energy metabolism. Up-regulation of the AP by trehalose pretreatment may improve the heat tolerance of wheat seedlings by dissipating excess reducing equivalents transported through the Mal-OAA shuttle, thereby protecting photosynthetic performance.","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45060838","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}

Objectives of this study were to examine the effect of changes in endogenous polyamines (PAs) by SPM application on improving heat tolerance of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) and explore the SPM-regulated senescence associated with alterations of water and oxidative balance, photosynthesis, and heat shock proteins under heat stress. The results showed that persistent high temperature caused severe oxidative damage and significant decreases in chlorophyll (Chl) content, photosynthetic efficiency, and leaf water content leading to premature senescence in creeping bentgrass, as reflected by a significant upregulation of transcriptions of senescence-associated genes (AsSAG39, Ash36, and Asl20). The improvement of endogenous spermidine (SPD) and SPM content induced by SPM application could significantly alleviate heat stress damage to creeping bentgrass through maintaining higher Chl content, net photosynthetic rate, photochemical efficiency, and performance index on absorption basis, promoting osmotic adjustment ability and antioxidant enzyme (superoxid dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase) activities to enhance the scavenging capacity of reactive oxygen species, and upregulating transcriptions of heat shock protein (HSP) genes (HSP90-5, HSP90.1-b1, HSP82, HSP70, HSP26.7, HSP17.8, and HSP12) helping to maintain normal synthesis and functions of proteins under high temperature stress, thereby delaying heat-induced leaf senescence. These findings reveal an important role of PAs in regulating senescence in perennial plants exposed to a high temperature environment.","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41650185","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}
