Article Abstract
Molecular function ofRING E3 ligase SbHCI1is involved in ABA-mediated basal heat stress tolerancein sorghum. Global warming generally reduces plant survival, owing to the negative effects of high temperatures on plant development. However, little is known about the role of Really Interesting New Gene (RING) E3 ligase in the heat stress responses of plants. As such, the aim of the present study was to characterize the molecular functions of the Sorghum bicolor ortholog of the Oryza sativa gene for Heat- and Cold-Induced RING finger protein 1 (SbHCI1). Subcellular localization revealed that SbHCI1 was mainly associated with the cytosol and that it moved to the Golgi apparatus under heat stress conditions. The fluorescent signals of SbHCI1 substrate proteins were observed to migrate to the cytoplasm under heat stress conditions. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) and yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assays revealed that SbHCI1 physically interacted with OsHCI1 ortholog partner proteins in the cytoplasm. Moreover, an in vitro ubiquitination assay revealed that SbHCI1 polyubiquitinated each of the three interacting proteins. The ectopic overexpression of SbHCI1 in Arabidopsis revealed that the protein was capable of inducing abscisic acid (ABA)-hypersensitivity and basal heat stress tolerance. Therefore, SbHCI1 possesses E3 ligase activity and may function as a positive regulator of heat stress responses through the modulation of interacting proteins.

The Mediterranean Basin, a hotspot for tomato production, is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change, where rising temperatures and increasing soil and water salinization represent major threats to agricultural sustainability. Thus, to understand the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to this stress combination, an RNA-Seq analysis was conducted on roots and shoots of tomato plants exposed to salt (100 mM NaCl) and/or heat (42°C, 4 h each day) stress for 21 days. The analysis identified over 8000 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under combined stress conditions, with 1716 DEGs in roots and 2665 in shoots being exclusively modulated in response to this specific stress condition.

The class Hexacorallia, encompassing stony corals and sea anemones, plays a critical role in marine ecosystems. Coral bleaching, the disruption of the symbiosis between stony corals and zooxanthellate algae, is driven by seawater warming and further exacerbated by pathogenic microbes. However, how pathogens, especially viruses, contribute to accelerated bleaching remains poorly understood.

Nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 (NPR1) is a master regulator of salicylic acid (SA)- facilitated plant hormone signaling and plays a crucial role in plant defense through the activation of systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Although like genes are associated with stress responses in a variety of plant species, no thorough genome-wide investigation of these genes has been undertaken in pearl millet (). This study discovered seven -like genes on four pearl millet chromosomes (Chr1, Chr2, Chr4, and Chr6), which exhibit close affinity to NPRs from other plants and have common gene structures, conserved motifs, and domains.

Immature zebrafish oocytes are highly susceptible to high temperatures, making it difficult to warm cryopreserved oocytes rapidly. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether thermosensitive channels, lipid mediators, and ferroptosis are involved in heat stress-induced injury in immature zebrafish oocytes. Oocytes were injected with inhibitors of a heat-sensitive channel (TRPV1) and multiple enzymes-cytosolic phospholipase Aα (cPLAα), cyclooxygenases (COXs), arachidonate lipoxygenase 5 (ALOX5), and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 (LPCAT2).
