Article Abstract
Prefertilization hybridization barriers are the main causes of intersubgeneric hybridization challenges in water lily. However, the mechanism underlying low compatibility between pollen and stigma of water lily remains unclear. This study demonstrates that CBL-interacting protein kinase 6 (CIPK6) responded to the signaling exchange between incompatible pollen and stigma through interactions with SNF1-related kinase 1 (SnRK1) and promotes the accumulation of SnRK1 protein. Activated SnRK1 interacted with 9--epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase 2 (NCED2) to promote its degradation, thereby inhibiting abscisic acid (ABA) synthesis. A decrease in ABA content in the stigma impaired the ABA-mediated removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS), ultimately resulting in the rejection of the incompatible pollen by the stigma. Our results highlight the essential role of the NpCIPK6-NpSnRK1-NpNCED2 module in conferring intersubgeneric hybridization barriers in water lily by interfering with ABA synthesis and promoting ROS accumulation. This study offers valuable mechanistic insights into cellular signaling and reproductive barriers in water lily as well as across other biological contexts.

Introduction: The white water lily (Nymphaea alba) is a traditional medicinal plant recognized for its diverse array of bioactive properties. However, its potential in wound healing remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical profile, cytotoxicity, and wound healing efficacy of Nymphaea alba flower extract (NAFE) using both in vitro and in vivo models, as well as computational network analysis.

The effects of a methanol extract of (MeNO) rhizomes, its fractions and the active compound (methyl gallate, MeG) were investigated in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and T47-D:A18, as well as ER-negative line SKBr3. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were determined using CellTiter-Glo 2.0 assays at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 μg/mL.

The white water lily (Nymphaea candida), native to the high-altitude regions of Xinjiang, China, serves as an excellent model for studying cold tolerance in aquatic plants. This study explored the sucrose non-fermenting related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) family genes in Nymphaea candida (NcSnRK2), establishing a functional link between NcSnRK2 and cold tolerance. Phylogenetic analysis grouped NcSnRK2 family members into three evolutionarily conserved clades.

Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are pivotal drivers of pathological conditions, necessitating safer plant-derived therapeutic alternatives. This study elucidates the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms of "Eldorado" flower water extract (NEWE) in a zebrafish () model of copper sulfate (CuSO)-induced inflammation. NEWE (25-100 μg/mL) attenuates CuSO-triggered neutrophil migration and oxidative stress by downregulating proinflammatory genes (, ) and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
