ABSTRACT Considering the more frequent and longer drought events due to climate change, improving plant drought tolerance became a priority. The search for plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) able to improve plant drought tolerance has been long addressed, but with inconsistent results. Here, we summarize the PGPR mechanisms that improve plant drought tolerance, identify the pitfalls in current PGPR isolation and selection routines, and discuss the key points to define new strategies to get optimal PGPR for plant drought tolerance. Drought and host genotype impact rhizo-communities, and host-mediated selection strategies may be used to obtain a drought-adapted rhizomicrobiome that can be a source for PGPR isolation. Alternatively, an integrated omics-level analysis can improve our knowledge on the mechanisms of rhizomicrobiome construction, and a targeted approach can be designed, which will be focused on key PGP traits. New strategies to build PGPR consortia for improvement of plant drought tolerance are also suggested.

ABSTRACT A library of natural sesquiterpene and phenolic compounds from Petasites japonicus are being investigated through different computational techniques to study their ability to target BMP. Lipinski rule, ADMET, molecular docking studies and metabolism were used to reach promising candidates with proposed activity against BMP. Four sesquiterpenes (kablicin, petisinol, bakkenolide D and bakkenolide IIIa) and four phenolic compounds exhibited drug-like properties (caffeic acid, petasiphenol, petasitesin A and petasitesin B), so they deserve further clinical exploration as bone loss modulators. The phenolic compounds specially fukinolic acid and petasiphenol showed lower binding energy with both BMPRIA and BMPRII than Icariin agonist and sesquiterpenes. Bakkenolide IIIa showed dual potential on both BMPRIA and BMPRII with binding energies equal – 7.82 and – 9.9 Kcal/mol respectively, which is more better score than Betulinic acid agonist. This research is focusing on plant-human interactions and exploring the ability of plant constituents to modulate a human protein such as BMP.

ABSTRACT Mangifera indica L. cv. Keitt is a cold-stress fruit plant native to China's drought river valley. Chilling stress affects productivity. Understanding the mechanisms of chilling stress is important to increasing chilling resistance in mango. Leaves of Keitti were subjected to 4 °C for 0, 3, 6, and 9 h for RNA-Seq-based transcriptome analysis, respectively. The chlorophyll content, carotenoid content, catalase, and peroxidase activities significantly increased during 9 h. The leaves responded to the stress by enhancing photosynthetic pigment content and antioxidant enzyme activity. After 3 h of chilling, 410 genes were differentially expressed. WRKY70 and PLD1 were significantly up-regulated after 9 h. Compared to 9 and 0 h, there were 1123 DEG. The DEGs are enriched in hormonal signal transduction, secondary metabolites, and the abiotic stress response. Similarly, the transcriptional factor families including NCED2, MYB73, and HLH162 up-regulated. The study will promote research on the development of chill-resistant mangoes.

ABSTRACT Wheat stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f.sp. tritici (Pst) is a global threat to wheat production. Genetic modification of defense-responsive factors in wheat rust interactions could help devise strategies to control stripe rust on wheat. This experiment studied the interaction between Pst pathotype 78S84 in PBW343 and FLW-3 by evaluating the quantitative temporal transcription profiles of defense-related genes at different time points. This is the first attempt to exhibit inter-connections among different proteins and depict a hypothetical model for the mechanism of R gene-mediated resistance. Transcript levels of LTP, AQP1, PR1, PR2, PR4, and PR10 were relatively higher under compatible interaction, while under incompatible interaction, transcript levels of COMT1, PRA2, WCAB, and PR9 were significantly high. This study projected the role of defense-responsive genes, inter-networking of proteins, and R gene-mediated resistance between wheat and stripe rust.

ABSTRACT Plant response to individual biotic stresses depends on its physiological state when the challenge is perceived. Optimal conditions for infestation of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae are associated with high temperatures and scarce precipitation. Here, we analyze the impact of previous interactions with the hemibiotrophic bacteria Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 or the necrotroph Dickeya dadantii 3937 on Arabidopsis thaliana plants under mite optimal conditions. Our results showed that both bacterial strains inoculated at adverse low humidity conditions induced the expression of JA-related genes in the plant even when disease symptoms are not observed. This effect was more evident when heat-inactivated bacteria were used, but a significant reduction in mite leaf damage was only detected when plants were previously inoculated with the heat-inactivated hemibiotroph bacteria. These results indicate that bacterial interaction compromises the plant response to subsequent herbivore stress, even under suboptimal conditions for bacterial multiplication.

ABSTRACT Whether nutrient availability interacts with induced resistance to alter plant chemistry and, consequently, the preference and performance of herbivores on plants remains unclear. We hypothesized that changing fertilizer inputs modulates responses induced by exogenous application of the defensive phytohormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA) against Tuta absoluta, a devastating pest of tomatoes. We found that tomato plants grown at or 2-fold above optimal fertilizer rates had higher nutrient content and were more preferred by T. absoluta females for oviposition and were better hosts for their offspring. MeJA increased phenolic content and volatile emissions in plants, which correlated with lower T. absoluta oviposition preference and offspring performance. However, we found no significant interactions when fertilizer and MeJA were applied simultaneously, such that induced responses against T. absoluta in tomatoes were similar regardless of fertilizer rate. These results provide novel insights into the bottom-up effects of fertilization and induced resistance on plant-insect herbivore interactions.

ABSTRACT Low temperature severely affects the growth of pomegranate in the early spring during the production process under protected cultivation. To understand the molecular responses to cold stress in Tunisian soft-seed pomegranate, this study investigated the transcriptome profiles and physiological changes of pomegranate leaves exposed to cold stress (6 °C) and freezing stress (0°C). Some potential cold response/resistance genes involved in plant hormone signal transduction, photosynthetic systems and carbon fixation in the C4 pathway, and sucrose and galactose metabolism were identified. In addition, an analysis of physiological indicators indicated that both stresses caused cell membrane damage; the accumulation of soluble sugar, soluble protein and proline; and the occurrence of photoinhibition owing to the damage in photosynthetic apparatus and the decrease in light energy conversion efficiency and electron transfer rate as shown by the decrease in net photosynthetic rate [Pn], potential maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII [Fv/Fm], actual photochemical efficiency of PSII [YII] and photochemical quenching coefficient [qP], and the effect was much moresevere in pomegranate under freezing stress. This study results offer useful information to understand the molecular mechanism of pomegranate response to cold stress and also lay a foundation for the selection of major candidate genes to conduct molecular breeding for cold tolerance in pomegranate.

ABSTRACT The effects of drought, salinity, and combined stress on ROS and ROS metabolic physiology and transcriptomics in sweet sorghum seedling leaves were evaluated. The results showed that drought stress had little effect on photosynthesis, while the SOD activity, CAT activity, and the expression of their related genes were elevated in leaves, but no excessive accumulation of O2 -, H2O2, or -OH was observed. Under salinity stress, photosynthesis was inhibited, the O2 -, H2O2 and -OH contents increased significantly, and the SOD, POD, CAT activities and the expression of their related genes in leaves were elevated. Under combined stress, photosynthesis was significantly inhibited, the highest accumulation of O2 -, H2O2 and -OH contents occurred, and the SOD and POD activities and the expression of related genes in leaves were significantly increased, but the CAT was significantly decreased. These results collectively indicate that oxidative damage to sweet sorghum seedling leaves was higher with combined stress than with either drought or salinity stress alone. Under combined stress the SOD and POD activities were increased, but the CAT activity in the AsA-GSH cycle was severely reduced, demonstrating that antioxidant mechanisms in seedlings did not play a normal protective role, leaving the plants severely damaged by oxidative stress.
