    303-329页
    查看更多>>摘要:Excess soil salinity affects large regions of land and is a major hindrance to crop production worldwide.Therefore,understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant salt tolerance has scientific importance and practical significance.In recent decades,studies have characterized hundreds of genes associated with plant responses to salt stress in different plant species.These studies have substantially advanced our molecular and genetic understanding of salt tol-erance in plants and have introduced an era of mo-lecular design breeding of salt-tolerant crops.This review summarizes our current knowledge of plant salt tolerance,emphasizing advances in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of osmotic stress toler-ance,salt-ion transport and compartmentalization,oxidative stress tolerance,alkaline stress tolerance,and the trade-off between growth and salt tolerance.We also examine recent advances in understanding natural variation in the salt tolerance of crops and discuss possible strategies and challenges for de-signing salt stress-resilient crops.We focus on the model plant Arabidopsis(Arabidopsis thaliana)and the four most-studied crops:rice(Oryza sativa),wheat(Triticum aestivum),maize(Zea mays),and soybean(Glycine max).

    Reactive oxygen species:Multidimensional regulators of plant adaptation to abiotic stress and development

    查看更多>>摘要:Reactive oxygen species(ROS)are produced as undesirable by-products of metabolism in var-ious cellular compartments,especially in re-sponse to unfavorable environmental conditions,throughout the life cycle of plants.Stress-induced ROS production disrupts normal cellular function and leads to oxidative damage.To cope with excessive ROS,plants are equipped with a sophisticated antioxidative defense system consisting of enzymatic and non-enzymatic components that scavenge ROS or inhibit their harmful effects on biomolecules.Nonetheless,when maintained at relatively low levels,ROS act as signaling molecules that regulate plant growth,development,and adaptation to adverse conditions.Here,we provide an overview of current approaches for detecting ROS.We also discuss recent advances in understanding ROS signaling,ROS metabolism,and the roles of ROS in plant growth and responses to various abiotic stresses.

    查看更多>>摘要:Global climate change-caused drought stress,high temperatures and other extreme weather profoundly impact plant growth and development,restricting sustainable crop production.To cope with various environmental stimuli,plants can optimize the opening and closing of stomata to balance CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and water loss from leaves.Guard cells perceive and in-tegrate various signals to adjust stomatal pores through turgor pressure regulation.Molecular mechanisms and signaling networks underlying the stomatal movements in response to environ-mental stresses have been extensively studied and elucidated.This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms of stomatal movements mediated by abscisic acid,light,CO2,reactive oxygen species,pathogens,temperature,and other phytohormones.We discussed the significance of elucidating the integrative mecha-nisms that regulate stomatal movements in helping design smart crops with enhanced water use efficiency and resilience in a climate-changing world.

    查看更多>>摘要:Drought is one of the most serious abiotic stresses to land plants.Plants sense and respond to drought stress to survive under water defi-ciency.Scientists have studied how plants sense drought stress,or osmotic stress caused by drought,ever since Charles Darwin,and gradually obtained clues about osmotic stress sensing and signaling in plants.Osmotic stress is a physical stimulus that triggers many physiological changes at the cellular level,including changes in turgor,cell wall stiffness and integrity,membrane tension,and cell fluid volume,and plants may sense some of these stimuli and trigger downstream re-sponses.In this review,we emphasized water potential and movements in organisms,compared putative signal inputs in cell wall-containing and cell wall-free organisms,prospected how plants sense changes in turgor,membrane tension,and cell fluid volume under osmotic stress according to advances in plants,animals,yeasts,and bacteria,summarized multilevel biochemical and physiological signal outputs,such as plasma membrane nanodomain formation,membrane water permeability,root hydrotropism,root halo-tropism,Casparian strip and suberin lamellae,and finally proposed a hypothesis that osmotic stress responses are likely to be a cocktail of signaling mediated by multiple osmosensors.We also dis-cussed the core scientific questions,provided perspective about the future directions in this field,and highlighted the importance of robust and smart root systems and efficient source-sink allocations for generating future high-yield stress-resistant crops and plants.

    查看更多>>摘要:Maize(Zea mays)cultivation is strongly affected by both abiotic and biotic stress,leading to reduced growth and productivity.It has recently become clear that regulators of plant stress responses,in-cluding the phytohormones abscisic acid(ABA),ethylene(ET),and jasmonic acid(JA),together with reactive oxygen species(ROS),shape plant growth and development.Beyond their well established functions in stress responses,these molecules play crucial roles in balancing growth and defense,which must be finely tuned to achieve high yields in crops while maintaining some level of defense.In this review,we provide an in-depth analysis of recent research on the developmental functions of stress regulators,focusing specifically on maize.By un-raveling the contributions of these regulators to maize development,we present new avenues for enhancing maize cultivation and growth while highlighting the potential risks associated with ma-nipulating stress regulators to enhance grain yields in the face of environmental challenges.

    查看更多>>摘要:Wood is an invaluable asset to human society due to its renewable nature,making it suitable for both sustainable energy production and material manu-facturing.Additionally,wood derived from forest trees plays a crucial role in sequestering a sig-nificant portion of the carbon dioxide fixed during photosynthesis by terrestrial plants.Nevertheless,with the expansion of the global population and ongoing industrialization,forest coverage has been substantially decreased,resulting in significant challenges for wood production and supply.Wood production practices have changed away from nat-ural forests toward plantation forests.Thus,under-standing the underlying genetic mechanisms of wood formation is the foundation for developing high-quality,fast-growing plantation trees.Breeding ideal forest trees for wood production using genetic technologies has attracted the interest of many.Tremendous studies have been carried out in recent years on the molecular,genetic,and cell-biological mechanisms of wood formation,and considerable progress and findings have been achieved.These studies and findings indicate enormous possibilities and prospects for tree improvement.This review will outline and assess the cellular and molecular mechanisms of wood formation,as well as studies on genetically improving forest trees,and address future development prospects.

    Orchestrating seed storage protein and starch accumulation toward overcoming yield-quality trade-off in cereal crops

    468-483页
    查看更多>>摘要:Achieving high yield and good quality in crops is essential for human food security and health.However,there is usually disharmony between yield and quality.Seed storage protein(SSP)and starch,the predominant components in cereal grains,determine yield and quality,and their cou-pled synthesis causes a yield-quality trade-off.Therefore,dissection of the underlying regulatory mechanism facilitates simultaneous improvement of yield and quality.Here,we summarize current findings about the synergistic molecular machinery underpinning SSP and starch synthesis in the leading staple cereal crops,including maize,rice and wheat.We further evaluate the functional conservation and differentiation of key regulators and specify feasible research approaches to iden-tify additional regulators and expand insights.We also present major strategies to leverage re-sultant information for simultaneous improvement of yield and quality by molecular breeding.Finally,future perspectives on major challenges are pro-posed.

    查看更多>>摘要:The basis of modem pharmacology is the human ability to exploit the production of specialized metabolites from medical plants,for example,terpenoids,alkaloids,and phenolic acids.How-ever,in most cases,the availability of these valuable compounds is limited by cellular or or-ganelle barriers or spatio-temporal accumulation patterns within different plant tissues.Transcription factors(TFs)regulate biosynthesis of these speci-alized metabolites by tightly controlling the ex-pression of biosynthetic genes.Cutting-edge technologies and/or combining multiple strategies and approaches have been applied to elucidate the role of TFs.In this review,we focus on recent progress in the transcription regulation mechanism of representative high-value products and describe the transcriptional regulatory network,and future perspectives are discussed,which will help de-velop high-yield plant resources.
