Germination represents the first major transition in plants, and seed dormancy influences germination timing. However, the mechanism by which variations in seed dormancy due to genetic variation or the maternal environment influence germination timing has not been studied in depth. In this study, the effects of temperature during seed maturation (maternal temperature) and genetic variation on weedy rice seedling emergence in a field environment were evaluated. The experiments were repeated for 4 years using seeds collected from weedy rice groups, which represented different degrees of seed dormancy. The maternal temperature was evaluated via the yearly variation in the field temperature. Genetic variation had a greater effect on seedling emergence during unfavourable seasons than during favourable seasons. A higher maternal temperature delayed seedling emergence during favourable seasons. The notable impact of global warming on seedling emergence has been confirmed over the past 15 years, and this impact will continue even under the sustainable CO2 emission scenario. Maternal effects have long-term effects on seedling emergence at relatively high maternal temperatures, and these effects may increase under global warming.

Terrestrial plants naturally produce chemical signals to attract beneficial insects or repel harmful pests. These inherent plant attributes offer promising opportunities for eco-friendly pest control in agriculture, particularly through the push-pull intercropping technique. However, our understanding of potential repellent plants and their effective chemical signals remains limited. In this study, we evaluated multiple plant species for their repellent properties, identified effective volatile organic compounds, and investigated the mechanisms for controlling the fungus gnat Bradysia odoriphaga in Chinese chives. Among the 12 species tested, Mentha haplocalyx, Ocimum basilicum and Pelargonium graveolens demonstrated strong repellent effects, making them promising candidates as 'push' plants. Eight major volatile compounds were identified as effective repellents, with 1,8-cineole being the most efficient. 1,8-cineole consistently exhibited repellent effects against the fungus gnats across various concentrations and exposure durations. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that exposure to 1,8-cineole upregulated genes is associated with energy production processes, suggesting that the fungus gnats can detect and actively avoid this compound. Field experiments further confirmed the effectiveness of this strategy, as intercropping chives with M. haplocalyx significantly reduced fungus gnat infestations. This study presents a novel intercropping approach for managing fungus gnats and offers valuable insights into sustainable eco-friendly pest management practices in agriculture.

The presence of toxic heavy metals lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in polluted soil damage crop production and consequently harms human and livestock health. Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is a potential model plant for heavy metal phytoremediation because of its valuable characteristics of high heavy metal tolerance and abundant biomass production. Here, we report that the Tartary buckwheat FtMYB46-FtNRAMP3 module enhances plant Pb and Cd tolerance. RNA sequencing analysis showed that Pb treatment specifically induced expression of FtNRAMP3, a member of the NRAMP (Natural Resistance-Associated Macrophage Protein) transporter gene family. Further cytological and biochemical analysis revealed that FtNRAMP3 was localised to the plasma membrane and significantly contributed to increased tolerance to Pb and Cd in yeast cells. Consistently, transgenic overexpression of FtNRAMP3 in Arabidopsis significantly increased plant tolerance to Pb and Cd applications, reducing Pb concentration but increasing Cd concentration in the overexpression transgenic plants. Subsequent yeast one-hybrid and electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that the transcription factor FtMYB46 directly binds to the FtNRAMP3 promoter. Further, FtMYB46 promoted FtNRAMP3 expression and increased plant Pb and Cd tolerance. Overall, this study demonstrates the important role of the FtMYB46-FtNRAMP3 module and its potential value in the phytoremediation of Pb and Cd stress.

The revival mechanism in dormant bacteria is a puzzling and open issue. We propose a model of information diffusion on a regular grid where agents represent bacteria and their mutual interactions implement quorum sensing. Agents may have different metabolic characteristics corresponding to multiple phenotypes. The intra/inter phenotype cooperation is analyzed under different metabolic and productivity conditions. We study the interactions between rapidly reproducing active bacteria and non-reproducing quiescent bacteria. We highlight the conditions under which the quiescent bacteria may revive. The occurrence of revival is generally related to a change in environmental conditions. Our results support this picture showing that revival can be mediated by the presence of different catalyst bacteria that produce the necessary resources.

The innovative HaloTag is a labeling technology that plays a crucial role in advanced fluorescence imaging. However, due to the complexity of plant materials, the application of HaloTag technology in the field of plants is still in its infancy. To expand the application of HaloTag technology in plant cells, we constructed six eukaryotic gene expression vectors with different localizations carrying HaloTag labels, then transformed Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana benthamiana, and finally stained the living cells using HaloTag ligands. Live-cell imaging showed that HaloTag did not affect the localization pattern and biological functions of the target protein, and by improving the experimental conditions, the optimized HaloTag technology could be more effectively applied to plants. Remarkably, we first displayed that the optimized HaloTag technology exhibits superior labeling performance compared to conventional fluorescent proteins, including photostability, monomer properties, multicolor imaging and spatio-temporal differentiated labeling. More importantly, the combination of HaloTag technology with single-particle tracking reveals the specific dynamics of membrane proteins and the changes in the rearrangement of ER-PM connectivity, providing a powerful tool for analyzing protein dynamics. Taken together, this promising HaloTag technology enriches the labeling toolkit for studying spatiotemporal dynamics and various biological processes.

A Sugarcane Smut Fungus Effector Hijacks Plant Vacuolar Sorting Receptor-Mediated Trafficking to Evade Host Immune Detection.

The smut fungus Sporisorium scitamineum is a major pathogen in sugarcane, causing significant agricultural losses worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms by which its effectors facilitate infection and evade host immunity remain largely unclear. In this study, we identified the sugarcane vacuolar sorting receptor 1 gene (ScVSR1), whose expression negatively correlate with several putative S. scitamineum effector genes in a co-expression network. Overexpression of ScVSR1 in Arabidopsis thaliana reduced resistance to a fungal powdery mildew pathogen, indicating the negative role of ScVSR1 in plant defence. Among the co-expressed S. scitamineum effectors, SsPE15, a secreted cerato-platanin-like protein (CPP), physically interacts with ScVSR1 and is sorted into the prevacuolar compartment (PVC) by interacting with ScVSR1 in plant cells. Deletion of SsPE15 in S. scitamineum enhanced fungal virulence, suggesting that SsPE15 acts as an immune elicitor. Furthermore, the C-terminal domain of the SsPE15, containing the VSR sorting signal, was found to facilitate vesicular location. Notably, fusing this C-terminal domain to the bacterial effector AvrRpt2 significantly reduced AvrRpt2-triggered programmed cell death in Arabidopsis, a process partially dependent on AtVSR1 and AtVSR2. These findings reveal an immune evasion strategy by which S. scitamineum effector SsPE15 hijacks the host's vesicular trafficking system to avoid immune detection.

Fungal endophytes can alter plant resistance against herbivores by indirectly influencing plant secondary metabolism or through direct effects of their own metabolism. However, the role of fungal endophytes in conifer defences to insect herbivores remains largely unknown. We characterised the endophytic fungal communities and terpene concentrations of 30 white spruce families across two sites. We determined the effects of fungal endophytes on a defoliating insect, eastern spruce budworm, by testing the budworm responses to media amended with fungal endophytes or exposing them to their volatile organic compounds. We further examined whether the changes in the endophytic fungal communities and abundance alter the terpene concentrations of white spruce by inoculating seedlings with endophytic fungi. Terpene and fungal community compositions in mature trees varied among families and sites. The bioassays showed fungal endophytes can kill budworms or reduce their fitness due to the toxicity of fungal mycelium or volatile compounds. The inoculation experiments demonstrated that the changes in fungal communities and abundance can alter the terpene concentrations in seedlings. We developed a "Plant Partnership Hypothesis" to reflect the role of fungal endophytes in plant resistance to insect herbivores, demonstrating a co-evolutionary relationship among fungal endophytes, tree defences, and insect herbivores.

Herbivore elicitors, most of which identified thus far are from the oral secretions (OS) of herbivores, are important in herbivore-induced plant defense. However, whether and how larval OS of the striped stem borer (SSB), Chilo suppressalis, a devastating pest on rice, induce plant defenses remains largely unknown. We found that treating plants with SSB OS enhanced levels of phosphorylated OsMPK3/4/6, JA, JA-Ile, ethylene, and ABA in rice, which subsequently induced the production of defense compounds, such as trypsin protease inhibitors, and decreased the growth of SSB larvae. Digestion by proteinase K decreased the induction activity of SSB OS on rice defense, but it still activated OsMPK6, JA, ABA, and ethylene pathways, and enhanced plant SSB resistance. Treating plants with SSB OS fractions that did not contain fatty acid-amino acid conjugates (FACs) activated OsMPK3/4/6, JA, ABA, and ethylene pathways, whereas treating plants with other OS fractions containing FACs did not. Bioassays revealed that impairing the JA or ABA signaling pathway in rice decreased plant SSB resistance. These results demonstrate that both proteins/peptides and non-proteins/peptides-but not FACs-in SSB OS play a central role in inducing rice defenses by activating signaling pathways mediated by JA, ABA, and ethylene.

These results demonstrate that both proteins/peptides and non-proteins/peptides-but not FACs-in SSB OS play a central role in inducing rice defenses by activating signaling pathways mediated by JA, ABA, and ethylene.</p>","PeriodicalId":222,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Cell & Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762561","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}
