Root meristem activity determines root growth and architecture consequently affects water nutrient uptake in plants. However, our knowledge about the regulation of crop plants is very limited. Here, we report isolation characterization a short mutant rice (Oryza sativa) with reduced activity. This defect caused by mutation ABNORMAL INFLORESCENCE MERISTEM1 (AIM1), which encodes 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved β-oxidation. The aim1 results from salicylic acid (SA) levels...

Leaf erectness is one of the key traits plant architecture; in grains, plants with upright leaves can be planted close together, thus benefiting yield/unit area. Many factors, such as hormones, affect leaf inclination; however, how nutrition status, particular phosphate (Pi) availability, affects inclination remains largely unexplained. Here, we show that rice (Oryza sativa), Pi deficiency stress inhibits lamina joint cell elongation, restricting size and inducing rice. The...

Allelopathy is prevalent in agricultural ecosystems and mediated by plant-derived secondary metabolites (allelochemicals). Allelochemicals are released donor plants affect the root growth development of receptor plants. responsible for continuous cropping obstacles cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). p-Hydroxybenzoic acid (pHBA), an autotoxin from exudates cucumber, has been proposed to be important allelopathic chemical. However, molecular mechanism which pHBA unknown. Here, we found that...

The basal levels of salicylic acid (SA) vary dramatically among plant species. In the shoot, for example, rice contains almost 100 times higher SA than Arabidopsis. Despite its high levels, neither biosynthetic pathway nor biological functions are well understood in rice. Combining with metabolite analysis, physiological, and genetic approaches, we found that synthesis shoot is dependent on OsAIM1, which encodes a beta-oxidation enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) pathway. Compromised...

Phosphorus nutrition has been known for a long time to influence floral transition in plants, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Arabidopsis phosphate transporter PHOSPHATE1 (PHO1) plays critical role translocation from roots shoots, whether and how it regulates unknown. Here, we show that knockout mutation of PHO1 delays flowering under both long- short-day conditions. The late pho1 mutants can be partially rescued by Pi supplementation rosettes or shoot apices. Grafting assay...

The transport of phosphate between cytoplasm and subcellular compartments is critical for plant metabolic regulation. We conducted bioinformatic analysis, heterologous expression in yeast, gene pattern localization analysis to characterize the possible functions OsPHT4 family rice. Together with PHT4 genes from higher plants, OsPHT4s can be classified into six distinct groups. OsPHT4;1–OsPHT4;4 are targeted chloroplasts, OsPHT4;6-1 OsPHT4;6-2 located Golgi apparatus. proteins mediate...

Summary As a finite and non‐renewable resource, phosphorus (P) is essential to all life crucial for crop growth food production. The boosted agricultural use associated loss of P the aquatic environment are increasing environmental pollution, harming ecosystems, threatening future global security. Thus, recovering reusing from water bodies urgently needed close cycle. natural, eco‐friendly, sustainable reclamation strategy, microalgae‐based biological recovery considered promising solution....

Maintaining a stable basal level of salicylic acid (SA) is crucial for plant growth, development, and stress response, though levels SA vary significantly among species. However, the molecular mechanisms by which regulates growth response remain to be elucidated. In this study, we performed genetic screen identify suppressors root defect in Osaim1, rice mutant deficient biosynthesis. We found that mutation E3 ligase OsPRT6, key component Arg/N-degron pathway, rescued Osaim1. Further analysis...

Previously, we showed that OsGLU3, a β-1,4-endoglucanase, can affect the cellulose synthesis for root elongation in rice. And phosphate starvation induced rice depends on function of OsGLU3. Here, further OsGLU3 is also dispensable nitrogen

Phosphate starvation leads to a strong reduction in shoot growth and yield crops. The reduced is caused by extensive gene expression reprogramming triggered phosphate deficiency, which not itself direct consequence of low levels phosphorus. However, how inhibits rice still unclear. In this study, we determined the role OsCYCP4s regulation response rice. We demonstrate that OsCYCP4s, except OsCYCP4;3, were induced starvation. Overexpression could compete with other cyclins for binding...

ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. Vacuoles play a crucial role in inorganic phosphate (Pi) storage remobilization plants. However, the physiological function of vacuolar efflux transporters Pi remains obscure. Here, we identified three ZmVPE genes ( ZmVPE1 , ZmVPE2a ZmVPE2b ) by combining them with transcriptome quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses, showing relatively higher expression older leaves than younger...

Besides playing a crucial role in plant immunity via the nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related (NPR) proteins, increasing evidence shows that salicylic acid (SA) can also regulate root growth. However, transcriptional regulatory network controlling this SA response roots is still unclear. Here, we found NPR1 and WRKY45, central regulators rice leaves, control only reduced sector signaling network. We demonstrated attenuates growth novel NPR1/WRKY45-independent pathway. Furthermore, using...
