Accessions of one plant species may show significantly different levels of susceptibility to stresses. The accessions Col-0 and C24 differ significantly in their resistance to the pathogen pv. (Pst). To help unravel the underlying mechanisms contributing to this naturally occurring variance in resistance to Pst, we analyzed changes in transcripts and compounds from primary and secondary metabolism of Col-0 and C24 at different time points after infection with Pst. Our results show that the differences in the resistance of Col-0 and C24 mainly involve mechanisms of salicylic-acid-dependent systemic acquired resistance, while responses of jasmonic-acid-dependent mechanisms are shared between the two accessions. In addition, arginine metabolism and differential activity of the biosynthesis pathways of aliphatic glucosinolates and indole glucosinolates may also contribute to the resistance. Thus, this study highlights the difference in the defense response strategies utilized by different genotypes.

Plant responses to salt stress involve regulatory networks integrating ion transport, hormonal signaling, and root system architecture remodeling. A key adaptive mechanism is the regulation of sodium (Na⁺) transport by Class 1 HKT1 transporters, which compertamentalize Na⁺ in non-photosynthetic tissues. High HKT1 expression reduces Na+ accumulation in shoots, leading to increased salt tolerance, but simultaneously results in reduced lateral root development.

As a part of epigenetic modifications, DNA methylation involves the addition of a methyl group to cytosine. In plants, this process occurs in three sequence contexts (CG, CHG and CHH) through two pathways: de novo DNA methylation and DNA methylation maintenance. DNA methylation is highly conserved between ecotypes due to its heritability and role in genomic stability.

The parent-of-origin effect on seeds can result from imprinting (unequal expression of paternal and maternal alleles) or combinational effects between cytoplasmic and nuclear genomes, but their relative contributions remain unknown. To discern these confounding factors, we produced cytoplasmic-nuclear substitution (CNS) lines using recurrent backcrossing in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ecotypes Col-0 and C24. These CNS lines differed only in the nuclear genome (imprinting) or cytoplasm.

Background: Survival rate (SR) is frequently used to compare drought tolerance among plant genotypes. While a variety of techniques for evaluating the stress status of plants under drought stress conditions have been developed, determining the critical point for the recovery irrigation to evaluate plant SR often relies directly on a qualitative inspection by the researcher or on the employment of complex and invasive techniques that invalidate the subsequent use of the tested individuals.
Results: Here, we present a simple, instantaneous, and non-invasive method to estimate the survival probability of Arabidopsis thaliana plants after severe drought treatments.

Plants synthesize specialized metabolites to facilitate environmental and ecological interactions. During evolution, plants diversified in their potential to synthesize these metabolites. Quantitative differences in metabolite levels of natural Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) accessions can be employed to unravel the genetic basis for metabolic traits using genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
