Key message: Through the study of a point mutation of AtECB2, it is reconfirmed that AtECB2 plays an important role in the early development of chloroplast. AtECB2(EARLY CHLOROPLAST BIOGENESIS 2, At1g15510), a member of the pentatricopeptide repeat motif proteins (PPR) superfamily, and its loss of function mutation ecb2-1causes seedling lethal, while a point mutation ecb2-2 causes delayed chloroplast development. Finding more AtECB2 weak alleles helps to understand the molecular mechanisms of AtECB2. In this study, a leaf virescence mutant was identified from ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS) treated Arabidopsis Col-0 M2 mutants library. The mutation of this mutant was first confirmed as a recessive mutation of one gene through the phenotype of F1 and its F2 phenotype segregation of this mutant crossed with Col-0. The mutation of G1931A of AtECB2 is identified as the cause of this leaf virescence phenotype sequentially through positional cloning, whole genome resequencing, Sanger sequencing and complementation. Therefore, we named this weak allele of AtECB2 as ecb2-3. The chlorophyll content and photosystem II maximum photochemical efficiency of ecb2-3 are obviously lower than that of Col-0 and its complementation lines, respectively. The chloroplast development of ecb2-3 is also inferior to that of Col-0 and its complementation line at the observed time points using the transmission electron microscope. The RNA editing efficiency of three chloroplast gene sites (accD C794 and C1568, ndhF C290) was observed much lower compared with that of Col-0 and its complementation line. In summary, AtECB2 plays an important role in early chloroplast biogenesis through related chloroplast gene editing regulation, and this weak mutant ecb2-3 may be useful material in dissecting the function of AtECB2 in the near future.

关键信息:通过对AtECB2点突变的研究,再次证实AtECB2在叶绿体的早期发育中发挥着重要作用。AtECB2(EARLY CHLOROPLAST BIOGENESIS 2, At1g15510)是五肽重复基序蛋白(PPR)超家族的成员,其功能缺失突变ecb2-1导致幼苗致死,而点突变ecb2-2导致叶绿体发育延迟。寻找更多的 AtECB2 弱等位基因有助于了解 AtECB2 的分子机制。本研究从经甲烷磺酸盐(EMS)处理的拟南芥Col-0 M2突变体库中发现了一个叶片荧光突变体。通过该突变体与 Col-0 杂交的 F1 表型及其 F2 表型分离,首先证实该突变体是一个基因的隐性突变。通过定位克隆、全基因组重测序、桑格测序和补体测序,我们确定 AtECB2 的 G1931A 突变是导致该叶片病毒病表型的原因。因此,我们将这一 AtECB2 弱等位基因命名为 ecb2-3。ecb2-3的叶绿素含量和光系统II最大光化学效率分别明显低于Col-0及其互补系。在透射电子显微镜下观察的时间点上,ecb2-3 的叶绿体发育也不如 Col-0 及其互补品系。观察到三个叶绿体基因位点(accD C794 和 C1568、ndhF C290)的 RNA 编辑效率远低于 Col-0 及其互补系。综上所述,AtECB2通过相关叶绿体基因编辑调控在早期叶绿体生物发生中发挥了重要作用,该弱突变体ecb2-3可能是不久的将来研究AtECB2功能的有用材料。

Key message: A long tracrRNA (tracr-L), which naturally act as single guide RNA, and its truncated version, Δtracr-L, from S. pyogenes, efficiently induce Cas9-mediated double-strand breaks (DSBs) in plant genomic loci, as demonstrated by in vitro cleavage assay and protoplast transfection. CRISPR-Cas system provides a form of immune memory in prokaryotes and archaea, protecting them against viruses and foreign genetic elements. In Streptococcus pyogenes, this system includes the pre-crRNA along with another non-coding RNA, tracrRNA, which aids in CRISPR-based immunity. In S. pyogenes, two distinct tracrRNAs are produced: a long form (tracr-L) and a short form (tracr-S). The tracr-S regulates crRNA biogenesis and Cas9 cleavage, while tracr-L suppresses CRISPR-Cas expression by targeting the Cas9 promoter to prevent autoimmunity. Deleting 79 nucleotides from tracr-L results in Δtracr-L, which retains similar functionality in gene repression. This study investigates, for the first time, the effectiveness of tracr-L, and Δtracr-L in genome editing within plant systems. In vitro cleavage assays using purified Cas9 and synthesized sgRNAs targeting the Cas9 gene, OsPDS, and the OsSWEET11 promoter revealed that across all target sites, tracr-S demonstrated the highest cleavage efficiency compared to tracr-L and Δtracr-L. For in vivo genome editing, we transfected rice protoplasts with tracr-L, Δtracr-L, and tracr-S, targeting three rice genes: OsPDS, OsSPL14, and the promoter of OsSWEET14. Amplicon deep sequencing revealed various types of indels at the target regions across all three tracrRNA versions, indicating comparable levels of efficiency. This study establishes the utility of both the long-form tracrRNA (tracr-L) and its truncated variant (Δtracr-L) in eukaryote genome editing. These two new forms of tracrRNA provide proof of concept and expand the CRISPR-Cas toolkit for plant genome editing applications, and for eukaryotes more broadly.

关键信息体外裂解试验和原生质体转染证明,来自化脓性链球菌的长tracrRNA(tracr-L)可作为单导RNA,其截短版本Δtracr-L可有效诱导Cas9介导的植物基因组位点双链断裂(DSB)。CRISPR-Cas 系统为原核生物和古生物提供了一种免疫记忆,保护它们免受病毒和外来遗传因子的侵害。在化脓性链球菌中,该系统包括 pre-crRNA 和另一种非编码 RNA--tracrRNA,后者有助于实现基于 CRISPR 的免疫。在化脓性球菌中,会产生两种不同的 tracrRNA:长型(tracr-L)和短型(tracr-S)。tracr-S调节crRNA的生物发生和Cas9的裂解,而tracr-L则通过靶向Cas9启动子抑制CRISPR-Cas的表达,以防止自身免疫。从tracr-L中删除79个核苷酸后,就得到了Δtracr-L,它在基因抑制方面保留了类似的功能。本研究首次研究了 tracr-L 和 Δtracr-L 在植物系统内进行基因组编辑的有效性。使用纯化的Cas9和合成的靶向Cas9基因、OsPDS和OsSWEET11启动子的sgRNA进行体外裂解试验发现,在所有靶位点上,tracr-S的裂解效率都高于tracr-L和Δtracr-L。为了进行体内基因组编辑,我们用 tracr-L、Δtracr-L 和 tracr-S 转染水稻原生质体,靶向三个水稻基因:OsPDS、OsSPL14和OsSWEET14的启动子。扩增子深度测序显示,所有三种 tracrRNA 的靶区都存在各种类型的嵌合体,表明其效率相当。这项研究确定了长形 tracrRNA(tracr-L)及其截短变体(Δtracr-L)在真核生物基因组编辑中的用途。这两种新形式的 tracrRNA 提供了概念证明,扩大了 CRISPR-Cas 在植物基因组编辑应用以及更广泛的真核生物中的工具包。

Key message: This study describes an optimized plastid genetic engineering platform to produce full marker-free transplastomic plants with transgene integrated at homoplasmy in one step in tissue culture. Plastid engineering is attractive for both biotechnology and crop improvement due to natural bio-confinement from maternal inheritance, the absence of transgene positional effects and silencing, the ability to express transgenes in operons, and unparalleled production of heterologous proteins. While plastid engineering has had numerous successes in the production of high-value compounds, no transplastomic plants have been approved for use in agriculture. In order for transplastomic plants to be used in agriculture, the removal of antibiotic selection genes is required. In this work, we developed an optimized strategy to generate homoplasmic marker-free lines of potato (Solanum tuberosum) in a single transformation event. To achieve marker-free transplastomic lines, vectors were redesigned to enable integration of the transgene cassette into the plastid genome, while maintaining the selection cassette on the vector backbone. After an initial round of tissue culture with selection, the selective pressure was removed, leading to the elimination of the vector backbone, while retaining the integrated transgene cassette at homoplasmy. Marker-free transplastomic lines produced using this strategy had a normal phenotype, and transgene integration was stable across generations. The new vectors developed in this work for the generation of marker-free transplastomics will represent a valuable alternative platform for routine plastid genetic engineering in higher plants. It is also anticipated that this approach will contribute to speed the path to commercialization of these novel transplastomic plant varieties.

关键信息:本研究描述了一种优化的质粒基因工程平台,它能在组织培养中一步生产出同源整合转基因的无标记转质粒植株。质体工程对生物技术和作物改良都很有吸引力,因为它具有母系遗传的天然生物一致性,没有转基因的位置效应和沉默,能在操作子中表达转基因,并能生产出无与伦比的异源蛋白。虽然质体工程在生产高价值化合物方面取得了许多成功,但还没有转质体植物被批准用于农业。要使转质粒植物用于农业,就必须去除抗生素选择基因。在这项工作中,我们开发了一种优化策略,在一次转化事件中产生无同质标记的马铃薯(Solanum tuberosum)品系。为了获得无标记转质粒系,我们对载体进行了重新设计,以便将转基因盒整合到质粒基因组中,同时将选择盒保留在载体骨架上。经过第一轮组织培养和选择后,选择压力被去除,从而消除了载体骨架,同时保留了同源的整合转基因盒。用这种方法培育出的无标记转殖系具有正常的表型,而且转基因整合在各代之间是稳定的。这项工作中开发的用于产生无标记转质粒组的新载体将为高等植物的常规质粒遗传工程提供一个有价值的替代平台。预计这种方法还将有助于加快这些新型转殖体植物品种的商业化进程。

Key message: Constitutive expression of cucumber CsACS2 in Arabidopsis disrupts anther dehiscence and male fertility via ethylene signaling and DNA methylation, revealing new avenues for enhancing crop reproductive traits. The cucumber gene CsACS2, encoding ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid) synthase, plays a pivotal role in ethylene biosynthesis and sex determination. This study investigates the effects of constitutive CsACS2 expression in Arabidopsis thaliana on anther development and male fertility. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing CsACS2 exhibited male sterility due to inhibited anther dehiscence, which was linked to suppressed secondary cell wall thickening. RNA-Seq analysis revealed upregulation of ethylene signaling pathway genes and downregulation of secondary cell wall biosynthesis genes, with gene set enrichment analysis indicating the involvement of DNA methylation. Rescue experiments demonstrated that silver nitrate (AgNO₃) effectively restored fertility, while 5-azacytidine (5-az) partially restored it, highlighting the roles of ethylene signaling and DNA methylation in this process. Constitutive CsACS2 expression in Arabidopsis disrupts anther development through ethylene signaling and DNA methylation pathways, providing new insights into the role of ethylene in plant reproductive development and potential applications in crop improvement.

关键信息:拟南芥中黄瓜CsACS2的连续表达通过乙烯信号转导和DNA甲基化破坏了花药开裂和雄性繁殖力,为提高作物生殖性状揭示了新途径。编码 ACC(1-氨基环丙烷-1-羧酸)合成酶的黄瓜基因 CsACS2 在乙烯生物合成和性别决定中起着关键作用。本研究探讨了拟南芥中组成型 CsACS2 表达对花药发育和雄性繁殖力的影响。过表达 CsACS2 的转基因拟南芥植株因花药开裂受抑制而表现出雄性不育,这与次生细胞壁增厚受抑制有关。RNA-Seq 分析表明乙烯信号通路基因上调,次生细胞壁生物合成基因下调,基因组富集分析表明 DNA 甲基化参与其中。拯救实验表明,硝酸银(AgNO₃)能有效恢复生育能力,而5-氮杂胞苷(5-az)则能部分恢复生育能力,这突显了乙烯信号转导和DNA甲基化在这一过程中的作用。拟南芥中 CsACS2 的连续表达通过乙烯信号转导和 DNA 甲基化途径破坏了花药的发育,为乙烯在植物生殖发育中的作用以及在作物改良中的潜在应用提供了新的见解。

Seed development is a complex process and co-regulated by genetic and environmental factors, which significantly affects the seed vigor, yield and quality of crops, especially in cereal crops. Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates various biological processes in seed development, including endosperm and embryo development, accumulation of storage materials, achievement of desiccation tolerance and dormancy. Compared to the functional investigation of ABA in germination and stress response, the role of ABA in early seed development and storage product accumulation has not been collectively elucidated. Here, ABA origin in seed was concluded: both maternal source and de novo synthesis of ABA in seed play an important role in seed development. This review also provided an overview of the current knowledge on ABA in early seed development, mainly in endosperm cellularization. ABA promotes endosperm cellularization in Arabidopsis, but this notion has not been spread into cereal crops. Besides, the increasing importance of ABA in seed reserve accumulation was also emphatically described. In the last section, the key problems and challenges (e.g., where dose ABA come from at each stage of seed development? whether same regulators in response to ABA in Arabidopsis apply equally to cereal crops) were addressed.

种子的发育是一个复杂的过程,受遗传和环境因素的共同调控,对农作物(尤其是谷类作物)的种子活力、产量和质量有着重要影响。脱落酸(ABA)调控种子发育过程中的各种生物学过程,包括胚乳和胚的发育、贮藏物质的积累、耐干燥性的实现和休眠。与 ABA 在萌发和胁迫响应中的功能研究相比,ABA 在种子早期发育和贮藏物质积累中的作用尚未得到全面阐明。本文对种子中 ABA 的来源进行了总结:种子中 ABA 的母源和新合成在种子发育过程中都发挥着重要作用。本综述还概述了目前关于 ABA 在种子早期发育(主要是胚乳细胞化)中的作用的知识。在拟南芥中,ABA 能促进胚乳细胞化,但这一概念尚未在谷类作物中推广。此外,还强调了 ABA 在种子储备积累中日益重要的作用。最后一部分讨论了关键问题和挑战(例如,种子发育各阶段的 ABA 剂量来自何处? 拟南芥中对 ABA 响应的相同调节因子是否同样适用于谷类作物)。

Key message: PAs varied greatly in leaves of different germplasm accessions in Lotus corniculatus and over-expression of LcMYB5 led to high PA accumulation in L. japonicus hairy roots. Proanthocyanidins (PAs) content in leaves is an important quality trait in forage species. The leaves of most forage crops accumulated no or little PAs, which makes it difficult to discover key genes involved in PA biosynthesis in the leaves. We found PAs content varied greatly in leaves of different germplasm accessions in Lotus corniculatus, which is one of the most agriculturally important forage crops. Through a combination of global transcriptional analysis, GO and KEGG analysis, and phylogenetic analysis, we discovered that LcMYB5 was strongly correlated with PA accumulation in leaves of L. corniculatus. The subcellular localization and transactivation activity assays demonstrated that LcMYB5 localized to the nucleus and acted as a transcriptional activator. Over-expression of the two homologs of LcMYB5 (LcMYB5a and LcMYB5b) in the L. japonicus hairy roots resulted in a particular high level of PAs. Global transcriptional analysis and qRT-PCR assays indicated that LcMYB5a and LcMYB5b up-regulated the transcript levels of many key PA pathway genes in the transgenic hairy roots, including structural genes (eg. CHS, F3H, LAR, ANR, and TT15) and regulatory genes (eg. TT8 and TTG1). Collectively, our data suggests that LcMYB5 independently regulates PA accumulation in the leaves of Lotus as a master regulator, which can be bioengineered for PAs production in the leaves of forage species.

关键信息:不同种质的莲花叶片中原花青素含量差异很大,LcMYB5的过度表达导致日本莲毛根中原花青素的高积累。叶片中的原花青素(PAs)含量是饲料物种的一个重要品质特征。大多数饲料作物的叶片不积累或很少积累 PAs,这使得发现参与叶片中 PA 生物合成的关键基因变得困难。我们发现,作为最重要的农用饲料作物之一的莲花(Lotus corniculatus)不同种质的叶片中 PAs 含量差异很大。通过全局转录分析、GO 和 KEGG 分析以及系统发育分析,我们发现 LcMYB5 与莲叶中 PA 的积累密切相关。亚细胞定位和转录激活活性实验表明,LcMYB5 定位于细胞核,并作为转录激活因子发挥作用。LcMYB5的两个同源物(LcMYB5a和LcMYB5b)在L.全局转录分析和 qRT-PCR 检测表明,LcMYB5a 和 LcMYB5b 上调了转基因毛根中许多关键 PA 通路基因的转录水平,包括结构基因(如 CHS、F3H、LAR、ANR 和 TT15)和调控基因(如 TT8 和 TTG1)。总之,我们的数据表明,LcMYB5 作为主调节因子独立调节莲叶中 PA 的积累,可以通过生物工程方法在饲料物种的叶片中生产 PA。

Key message: Astragalus membranaceus hairy roots induced by direct injection of Rhizobium rhizogenes with AmUGT15 overexpressing genes into the stem explants demonstrate enhanced astragaloside biosynthesis Astragalus membranaceus is a widely used medicinal plant, which has important economic, ecological, medicinal, and ornamental values for accumulating various triterpene saponins named astragalosides in roots. Although the hairy root culture technique has been established in A. membranaceus, the molecular regulation of metabolic pathways for improving astragaloside contents was not reported. In this study, an efficient hairy root induction method was established in A.membranaceus by directly injecting Rhizobium rhizogenes into the stem, with an induction rate of up to 80.1%. We improved the production of astragaloside in hairy roots by overexpressing AmUGT15, a 3-O-glucosyltransferase catalyzed xylosylation at C3-OH. The fluorescence microscopy observation revealed that the AmUGT15 fused with DsRed report gene constructed in T-DNA region was overexpressed in hairy roots, and the maximum biomass of hairy roots was measured on the 28th day of cultivation. HPLC analysis confirmed the total amount of astragalosides produced by AmUGT15 overexpressing hairy roots is 4.2 times higher than the non-transgenic control group. Our study proposed an effective method for astragalosides production in A. membranaceus hairy roots via metabolic engineering.

关键信息:将带有 AmUGT15 基因过表达的根瘤根瘤根瘤菌直接注入茎外植体诱导的膜荚黄芪毛根显示出增强的黄芪皂苷生物合成能力 膜荚黄芪是一种广泛使用的药用植物,其根部积累的各种三萜皂苷被命名为黄芪皂苷,具有重要的经济、生态、药用和观赏价值。虽然膜草属植物的发根培养技术已经建立,但提高黄芪皂苷含量的代谢途径的分子调控却未见报道。本研究通过向茎中直接注入根瘤菌,建立了一种高效的毛状根诱导方法,诱导率高达 80.1%。我们通过过表达 AmUGT15(一种催化 C3-OH 处木糖基化的 3-O-葡萄糖基转移酶)提高了毛状根中黄芪皂苷的产量。荧光显微镜观察发现,T-DNA区构建的AmUGT15与DsRed报告基因融合后在毛细根中超表达,在培养的第28天测得毛细根的最大生物量。高效液相色谱分析证实,过表达 AmUGT15 的毛细根产生的黄芪皂苷总量是非转基因对照组的 4.2 倍。我们的研究提出了一种通过代谢工程在膜葡萄毛根中生产黄芪皂苷的有效方法。

Key message: The histone variant H2A.Z is crucial for the expression of genes involved in cell elongation under elevated temperatures and shade. Its removal facilitates the activation of these genes, particularly through the activities of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs) and the SWR1-related INOSITOL REQUIRING 80 (INO80) complex. Arabidopsis seedlings exhibit rapid elongation of hypocotyls and cotyledon petioles in response to environmental stresses, namely elevated temperatures and shade. These phenotypic alterations are regulated by various phytohormones, notably auxin. Under these stress conditions, auxin biosynthesis is swiftly induced in the cotyledons and transported to the hypocotyls, where it stimulates cell elongation. The histone variant H2A.Z plays a pivotal role in this regulatory mechanism. H2A.Z affects the transcription of numerous genes, particularly those activated by the mentioned environmental stresses. Recent studies highlighted that the eviction of H2A.Z from gene bodies is crucial for the activation of genes, especially auxin biosynthetic and responsive genes, under conditions of elevated temperature and shade. Additionally, experimental evidence suggests that PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs) can recruit the SWR1-related INOSITOL REQUIRING 80 (INO80) complex to remove H2A.Z from targeted loci, thereby activating gene transcription in response to these environmental stresses. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the regulatory role of H2A.Z, emphasizing how its eviction from gene loci is instrumental in the activation of stress-responsive genes under elevated temperature and shade conditions.

关键信息:组蛋白变体H2A.Z对高温和遮荫条件下细胞伸长相关基因的表达至关重要。组蛋白变体H2A.Z的移除促进了这些基因的激活,特别是通过肌细胞互作因子(PIFs)和与SWR1相关的肌醇需要80(INO80)复合物的活性。拟南芥幼苗在应对环境胁迫(即高温和遮荫)时,下胚轴和子叶叶柄会迅速伸长。这些表型变化受各种植物激素,特别是植物生长素的调控。在这些胁迫条件下,辅助素的生物合成在子叶中被迅速诱导,并被输送到下胚轴,在那里刺激细胞伸长。组蛋白变体 H2A.Z 在这一调控机制中起着关键作用。H2A.Z 影响着许多基因的转录,尤其是那些被上述环境胁迫激活的基因。最近的研究突出表明,在高温和遮荫条件下,H2A.Z 从基因体中被逐出对基因的激活至关重要,尤其是辅助素生物合成基因和反应基因。此外,实验证据表明,植物细胞互作因子(PIFs)可以招募与 SWR1 相关的 INOSITOL REQUIRING 80(INO80)复合物将 H2A.Z 从目标基因座中移除,从而激活基因转录以应对这些环境胁迫。本综述全面概述了H2A.Z的调控作用,强调了在高温和遮荫条件下,将H2A.Z从基因位点移除如何有助于激活应激反应基因。

Key message: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein (GPI-AP) Aa049 works as a key pathogenic factor to assist A. alternata in infecting plants, which is associated with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathway. Chrysanthemum black spot disease is a common fungal disease caused by A. alternata, which has severely hindered the development of the chrysanthemum industry. However, there are few reports on pathogenic factors in A. alternata, especially regarding GPI-APs. In this study, we identified a GPI-AP, Aa049, from A. alternata. Bioinformatics predictions suggest the presence of GPI-anchored modification sites at the C-terminus of its amino acid sequence, which is relatively conserved among different Alternaria Nees. Transient overexpression of Aa049 in Nicotiana benthamiana can induce programmed cell death (PCD), and the appearance of necrosis depends on its native signal peptide and GPI-anchored sites. Compared with the wild-type strain, the morphology and growth rate of the colony and mycelia of the ΔAa049-deletion mutants do not change. Still the integrity of the cell wall is damaged, and the virulence of the strain is significantly reduced, indicating that Aa049 plays an essential role as a pathogenic factor in the infection process of A. alternata. Furthermore, the results of quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and physiological indicators suggested that the virulence of Aa049 may be exerted through the synthesis and clearance pathways of ROS. This study reveals that GPI-APs in A. alternata can act as virulence factors to aid pathogen invasion, providing a potential target for the development of future biopesticides.

关键信息:糖基磷脂酰肌醇锚定蛋白(GPI-AP)Aa049是一种关键的致病因子,可帮助交替花粉蚁感染植物,它与活性氧(ROS)途径有关。菊花黑斑病是由交替花叶病毒引起的一种常见真菌病害,严重阻碍了菊花产业的发展。然而,有关交替花叶病毒致病因子,尤其是 GPI-APs 的报道很少。在这项研究中,我们从交替蓟马中鉴定出了一种 GPI-AP,即 Aa049。生物信息学预测表明,其氨基酸序列的 C 端存在 GPI 锚定修饰位点,这在不同的交替孢属 Nees 中是相对保守的。在烟草中瞬时过表达 Aa049 可诱导细胞程序性死亡(PCD),而坏死的出现取决于其原生信号肽和 GPI 锚定位点。与野生型菌株相比,ΔAa049缺失突变体菌落和菌丝的形态和生长速度没有变化。但细胞壁的完整性仍然受到破坏,菌株的毒力明显降低,这表明 Aa049 在交替孢霉的感染过程中扮演着重要的致病因子角色。此外,实时定量 PCR(qRT-PCR)和生理指标的结果表明,Aa049 的毒力可能是通过 ROS 的合成和清除途径发挥的。本研究揭示了交替穗霉中的 GPI-APs 可作为毒力因子帮助病原体入侵,为未来生物农药的开发提供了潜在靶标。
