Medicago truncatula; glucose; heterologous gene expression; host plants; lipids; minerals; mutants; mutualism; mycelium; mycorrhizal fungi; roots; soil; vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae; yeasts
Abstract:
... Plants form a mutualistic symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which facilitates the acquisition of scarce minerals from the soil. In return, the host plants provide sugars and lipids to its fungal partner. However, the mechanism by which the AM fungi obtain sugars from the plant has remained elusive. In this study we investigated the role of potential SWEET family sugar exporters in ...

Abstract:
... Elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (eCO₂) concentrations promote symbiosis between roots and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), modifying plant nutrient acquisition and cycling of carbon, nitrogen and phosphate. However, the biological mechanisms by which plants transmit aerial eCO₂ cues to roots, to alter the symbiotic associations remain unknown. We used a range of interdisciplinary approaches ...

Abstract:
... The capability to maintain cell wall integrity is critical for plants to adapt to unfavourable conditions. l‐Arabinose (Ara) is a constituent of several cell wall polysaccharides and many cell wall‐localised glycoproteins, but so far the contribution of Ara metabolism to abiotic stress tolerance is still poorly understood. Here, we report that mutations in the MUR4 (also known as HSR8) gene, which ...

carbon; dieback; ecosystems; estuaries; forests; greenhouse gas emissions; highlands; methane; mortality; oxidation; redox potential; sediments; trees; uncertainty; Australia; Gulf of Carpentaria
Abstract:
... Growing evidence indicates that tree‐stem methane (CH₄) emissions may be an important and unaccounted‐for component of local, regional and global carbon (C) budgets. Studies to date have focused on upland and freshwater swamp‐forests; however, no data on tree‐stem fluxes from estuarine species currently exist. Here we provide the first‐ever mangrove tree‐stem CH₄ flux measurements from >50 trees ( ...

Subject:
guard cells; stomatal movement; Arabidopsis; protein kinases; calcium signaling; calcium; microelectrodes; drought; abscisic acid; stomata
Abstract:
... During drought, abscisic acid (ABA) induces closure of stomata via a signaling pathway that involves the calcium (Ca²⁺)‐independent protein kinase OST1, as well as Ca²⁺‐dependent protein kinases. However, the interconnection between OST1 and Ca²⁺ signaling in ABA‐induced stomatal closure has not been fully resolved. ABA‐induced Ca²⁺ signals were monitored in intact Arabidopsis leaves, which expres ...

Abstract:
... Root exudates play an important role in ecosystem response to climate change, but the functional consequences of drought‐induced changes in the quality of root exudates are unknown. Here, we addressed this knowledge gap in a unique experimental approach. We subjected two common grassland species that differ widely in their growth strategies and root systems, the grass Holcus lanatus and the forb R ...

Abstract:
... MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of short noncoding RNA (20–24 nt), playing versatile roles in plant growth and development. Strawberry generates leaves and flowers with unique features. However, few miRNAs have been functionally characterised in strawberry, especially for their developmental regulation. Here, we identified one ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutant, deeply serrated (des), in the woodla ...

Abstract:
... Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a critical problem in human nutrition. Rice is the main source of calories for nearly half the world's population but has the shortcoming, from a nutritional perspective, of being low in Zn and other essential nutrients. Here we performed analyses with cytokinin‐related mutants and transgenic lines to provide unequivocal evidence that cytokinins have a key role in controlli ...

Abstract:
... Most land plants establish mutualistic interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Intracellular accommodation of AM fungal symbionts remodels important host traits like root morphology and nutrient acquisition. How mycorrhizal colonization impacts plant microbiota is unclear. To understand the impact of AM symbiosis on fungal microbiota, ten Lotus japonicus mutants impaired at different ...

Abstract:
... Mannans are an abundant cell wall polysaccharide in bryophytes, seedless vascular plants and gymnosperms. A previous study has shown that mannan acetylation in Arabidopsis and konjac is mediated by mannan O‐acetyltransferases belonging to the Domain of Unknown Function (DUF) 231 family. However, little is known about the acetylation patterns of mannans in bryophytes and seedless vascular plants, a ...

Abstract:
... A crucial step in the transition from outcrossing to self‐fertilization is the loss of genetic self‐incompatibility (SI). In the Brassicaceae, SI involves the interaction of female and male specificity components, encoded by the genes SRK and SCR at the self‐incompatibility locus (S‐locus). Theory predicts that S‐linked mutations, and especially dominant mutations in SCR, are likely to contribute ...

Vascular DT plants face the unique challenges of desiccating and rehydrating complex tissues without causing structural damage. However, these dynamics have not been studied in intact DT plants. We used high resolution micro‐computed tomography (microCT), light microscopy, and fluorescence mi ...

Abstract:
... In addition to well‐known roles in RNA metabolism, the nucleolus and Cajal bodies (CBs), both located within the nucleus, are involved in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Previously we showed that plants in which expression of the CB protein coilin is downregulated are more susceptible to certain viruses including tobacco rattle virus (TRV), suggesting a role of coilin in antiviral de ...

Abstract:
... Due to its ability to accept and donate electrons, iron (Fe) is an indispensable component of electron transport chains and a cofactor in many vital enzymes. Except for waterlogged conditions, under which the lack of oxygen prevents oxidation and precipitation of iron as Fe³⁺ hydroxides, the availability of iron in soils is generally far below the plant's demand for optimal growth. Plants have evo ...
