Characterization of Rhizosphere Oxidation Associated with Root Development in Rice Using Planar Oxygen Optodes
UncategorizedAbstractRhizosphere oxidation is a key adaptive mechanism in reductive soil environments, in which oxygen released from roots alters rhizosphere redox conditions and regulates biogeochemical processes. Rice plants possess an internal oxygen transport system, and radial oxygen loss (ROL) from roots is…
BnaC03.MYB56 and BnaA09.MYB61 antagonistically regulate flavonoid metabolism in Brassica napus
UncategorizedAbstractFlavonoid biosynthesis is negatively correlated with seed oil content in B. napus. However, the molecular mechanisms of flavonoid metabolism mediated by MYB repressor in B. napus are still not well understood. In this study, we identify an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, BnaC03.MYB56, which regulates…
SgPHR1-SgPAE1 module modulates root growth and increases low phosphorus tolerance in Stylosanthes guianensis
UncategorizedAbstractPhosphorus (P) deficiency severely limits agricultural productivity in tropical acid soils. Stylosanthes guianensis (stylo), a vital forage legume in the tropics, exhibits high tolerance to low P stress. While numerous phosphate (Pi) starvation response genes have been documented in stylo, its…
A natural small molecule 2-amino-3-methylhexanoic acid enhances tomato thermotolerance via stabilization of the key mediator SlGAD4
UncategorizedAbstractPlant resistance inducers (PRIs) are bioactive compounds that trigger protective responses, offering promise for reducing stress-induced yield losses in agriculture. The natural PRI (2S, 3S)-2-amino-3-methylhexanoic acid (AMHA) markedly improves tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) tolerance to high…
A GWAS-identified U-box E3 ligase MsPUB6 is positively regulated by MsDREB1C and contributes to drought tolerance in alfalfa
UncategorizedAbstractU-box-type E3 ubiquitin ligases (PUBs) are critical for signaling homeostasis and abiotic stress responses via substrate ubiquitination, yet their upstream transcriptional regulation remains largely unexplored, especially in alfalfa drought adaptation. Through GWAS of 171 alfalfa accessions,…
Epigenetic regulation of cell wall-associated WAK1 by HDC1 promotes iron remobilization under Fe-limited conditions
UncategorizedAbstractIron (Fe) deficiency is a major abiotic stress limiting crop production. HDC1, a component of the histone deacetylase complex, plays important roles in plant development and stress responses, yet its function in Fe deficiency responses remains unclear. This study reveals that HDC1 promotes the…
The chloroplast CLPD chaperone: consequences of under- and overexpression, interaction with the CLP protease core, and candidate substrates
UncategorizedAbstractExpression of the chloroplast AAA+ chaperone CLPD gene increases during senescence and drought, but its function in chloroplast proteostasis is poorly understood. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of Arabidopsis CLPD protein accumulation across development from early seedlings to senescence,…
Transcriptional activation of the orphan gene QQS by a MYB–NAC–GARP triad modulates starch and protein accumulation in Arabidopsis
UncategorizedAbstractThe Arabidopsis-specific orphan gene Qua-Quine Starch (QQS) regulates starch and protein accumulation, yet the upstream mechanisms controlling its transcription remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated transcription regulators that modulate QQS expression and associated metabolic traits.…
