1. Anesthetics, Anesthesia, and Plants

Author:
Yokawa, Ken; Kagenishi, Tomoko; Baluška, František
Source:
Trends in plant science 2019 v.24 no.1 pp. 12-14
ISSN:
1360-1385
Subject:
anesthesia; anesthetics; models
Abstract:
... General anesthesia, its nature, and how exactly it works are still poorly understood. Plants can also be anesthetized and lose their responses to external stimuli. Interestingly, plants are known to produce endogenous anesthetic compounds to deal with stress. Plants offer an excellent model object for studies on anesthetics and anesthesia. ...

2. A Resurrected Scenario: Single Gain and Massive Loss of Nitrogen-Fixing Nodulation

Author:
van Velzen, Robin; Doyle, Jeff J.; Geurts, Rene

Trends in plant science 2019 v.24 no.1 pp. 49-57
ISSN:

Subject:
genes; nitrogen; nitrogen fixation; nitrogen-fixing bacteria; nitrogen-fixing plants; nodulation; root nodules; symbiosis
Abstract:
... Root nodule endosymbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria provides plants with unlimited access to fixed nitrogen, but at a significant energetic cost. Nodulation is generally considered to have originated in parallel in different lineages, but this hypothesis downplays the genetic complexity of nodulation and requires independent recruitment of many common features across lineages. Recent phylogeno ...

carbon; carbon dioxide; energy; image analysis; leaf analysis; leaves; models; plants (botany); temporal variation
Abstract:
... Leaves are a nexus for the exchange of water, carbon, and energy between terrestrial plants and the atmosphere. Research in recent decades has highlighted the critical importance of the underlying biophysical and anatomical determinants of CO2 and H2O transport, but a quantitative understanding of how detailed 3D leaf anatomy mediates within-leaf transport has been hindered by the lack of a consen ...

Subject:
domestication; evolution; genetic variation; metabolism; metabolites; phenotype
Abstract:
... Plants produce a huge array of metabolites, far more than those produced by most other organisms. Unraveling this diversity and its underlying genetic variation has attracted increasing research attention. Post-genomic profiling platforms have enabled the marriage and mining of the enormous amount of phenotypic and genetic diversity. We review here achievements to date and challenges remaining tha ...

Abstract:
... Since 2005, a new conservation action concept has been implemented to address the most threatened plant species requiring priority conservation in China. The concept is now widely recognized at different levels of governmental departments and by the general public, and is leading to great achievements for plant conservation in China. ...

6. How Does Evolution in Phosphorus-Impoverished Landscapes Impact Plant Nitrogen and Sulfur Assimilation?

Author:
Prodhan, M. Asaduzzaman; Finnegan, Patrick M.; Lambers, Hans
Source:
Trends in plant science 2019 v.24 no.1 pp. 69-82
ISSN:

Subject:
Proteaceae; crop yield; crops; landscapes; nitrogen; phosphorus; phosphorus fertilizers; plant nitrogen content; ribosomal RNA; rock phosphate; sulfur
Abstract:
... Phosphorus (P) fertilisers, made from rock phosphate, are used to attain high crop yields. However, rock phosphate is a finite resource and excessive P fertilisers pollute our environment, stressing the need for more P-efficient crops. Some Proteaceae have evolved in extremely P-impoverished environments. One of their adaptations is to curtail the abundance of ribosomal RNA, and thus protein, and ...

Subject:
aluminum; auxins; biosynthesis; growth and development; plant development; plant growth; plant hormones
Abstract:
... Auxin is one of the most important plant hormones controlling various aspects of plant growth and development. Here, we highlight three recent papers that shed light on how local auxin biosynthesis contributes to plant growth and development in response to endogenous developmental signals and exogenous environmental cues, such as shade and aluminum stress. ...

8. Melatonin: A New Plant Hormone and/or a Plant Master Regulator?

Author:
Arnao, Marino B.; Hernández-Ruiz, Josefa

antioxidants; free radicals; melatonin; photosynthesis; plant hormones; rooting; seed germination
Abstract:
... Melatonin is a pleiotropic molecule with many diverse actions in plants. It is considered primarily an antioxidant with important actions in the control of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS), among other free radicals, and harmful oxidative molecules present in plant cells. In addition, plant melatonin is involved in multiple physiological actions, such as growth, rooting, seed ger ...

Abstract:
... Plants grow and reproduce within a highly dynamic environment that can see abrupt changes in conditions, such as light intensity, temperature, humidity, or interactions with biotic agents. Recent studies revealed that plants can respond within seconds to some of these conditions, engaging many different metabolic and molecular networks, as well as rapidly altering their stomatal aperture. Some of ...

Chlorophyta; ancestry; disease resistance; genes; pathogens
Abstract:
... The NBS-LRR genes are functionally responsible for plant resistance to alien pathogens. Here, we show that NBS-LRR genes originated in the common ancestor of the whole green lineage, and have rapidly diverged into three subclasses with different domain combinations (TNL, CNL, and RNL) before the split of green algae. ...

Subject:
crops; genetic engineering; genetically modified plants; risk; risk assessment
Abstract:
... The risks of not considering benefits in risk assessment are often overlooked. Risks are also often evaluated without consideration of the broader context. We discuss these two concepts in relation to genetically engineered (GE) crops. The health, environmental, and economic risks and benefits of GE crops are exemplified and presented in the context of modern agriculture. Misattribution of unique ...
