Article Abstract
Oxygen is a key signalling component of plant biology, and whilst an oxygen-sensing mechanism was previously described in Arabidopsis thaliana, key features of the associated PLANT CYSTEINE OXIDASE (PCO) N-degron pathway and Group VII ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERFVII) transcription factor substrates remain untested or unknown. We demonstrate that ERFVIIs show non-autonomous activation of root hypoxia tolerance and are essential for root development and survival under oxygen limiting conditions in soil. We determine the combined effects of ERFVIIs in controlling gene expression and define genetic and environmental components required for proteasome-dependent oxygen-regulated stability of ERFVIIs through the PCO N-degron pathway. Using a plant extract, unexpected amino-terminal cysteine sulphonic acid oxidation level of ERFVIIs was observed, suggesting a requirement for additional enzymatic activity within the pathway. Our results provide a holistic understanding of the properties, functions and readouts of this oxygen-sensing mechanism defined through its role in modulating ERFVII stability.

Plasmodesmata are specialized structures in plant cell walls that mediate intercellular communication by regulating the trafficking of molecules between adjacent cells. The actin cytoskeleton plays a pivotal role in controlling plasmodesmatal permeability, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this regulation remain unclear. Here, we report that BRK1, a component of the WAVE/SCAR complex involved in Arp2/3-mediated actin nucleation, localizes to PD and primary pit fields in A.

Nitrogen (N) fixation with non-thermal plasmas has been proposed as a sustainable alternative to meet growing N fertilizer demands for agriculture. This technology generates Plasma Activated Water (PAW) with a range of chemical compositions, including different concentrations of nitrate (NO₃⁻) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), among other compounds. Potential use of PAW as an effective crop fertilizer necessitates a robust understanding of the underlying biology of the plant, which is not yet available.

Endophytic fungi are nonpathogenic fungi that live symbiotically in the interior of healthy plant tissues and form mutualistic associations with their hosts. These fungi are critically involved in promoting plant development, strengthening plant uptake of nutrients, and improving plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Endophytic fungi improve plant growth by synthesizing phytohormones (e.

Through horizontal gene transfer, closely related bacterial strains assimilate distinct sets of genes, resulting in significantly varied lifestyles. However, it remains unclear how strains properly regulate horizontally transferred virulence genes. We hypothesized that strains may use components of the core genome to regulate diverse horizontally acquired genes.

The stems of , an important vegetable in China, are targeted by the pathogen , triggering a response through the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway. To investigate the characteristics and the role of MAPK gene family in the biological stress response, a bioinformatics-based analysis was performed, and the expression patterns of and MAPK-infection pathway-related genes were detected in male plants inoculated with . Twenty-five were identified and divided into four subgroups A, B, C and D: carried a conserved TEY motif, while D had a conserved TDY motif.
