    Abstract Environmental stresses affect the yield and productivity of Brassica crops. Catalases are important antioxidant enzymes involved in reducing excess hydrogen peroxide produced by environmental stresses. In the present study, nine and seven CAT family members in two oilseed Brassica species (B. juncea and B. rapa) were identified with complete characterization based on gene and protein structure. Phylogenetic classification categorized CAT proteins into three classes and differentiated the monocot and dicot-specific CAT proteins. Further, the gene and protein characterizations revealed a high degree of conservation across the CAT family members. Differences were observed in the CAT-HEME binding affinity in CAT1, CAT2, and CAT3 isozymes, which could suggest their differential enzyme activities in different conditions. Furthermore, protein-protein interaction with other antioxidant proteins suggested their coordinated role in ROS scavenging mechanisms. Notably, the differential gene expression of BjuCATs and BraCATs and CAT enzyme activities suggested their crucial roles in major abiotic stresses faced by Brassica species. Promoter analysis in BjuCATs and BraCATs suggested the presence of abiotic-stress responsive cis-regulatory elements. Gene regulatory network analysis suggested miRNA and TF mediated stress response in BjuCATs and BraCATs. CAT family screening and characterization in Brassica sp. has established a basic ground for further functional validation in abiotic and heavy-metal stresses which can help in developing stress tolerant crops.

    Abstract In the era of global environmental changes, high curiosity in identifying and characterizing new antioxidant enzymes in plants has been witnessed. Previous studies reported the pivotal role played by Glutathione reductase (GR) in maintaining the reduced glutathione pool during stress. However, the knowledge of GR family members and their evolutionary and functional characteristics in oilseed species is limited. In this study, 6 and 4 GRs were identified from Brassica juncea and B. rapa genomes, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of protein sequences showed diversification of this gene family into cytosolic and chloroplastic GR. Duplication of a single ancestral gene might have led to the diversification of cytosolic and chloroplastic GR before the divergence of monocot and dicot. The cytosolic GRs consisted of complex gene architecture compared to the chloroplastic ones, which can increase their expression level. Chloroplastic GRs showed the presence of N-terminal signal peptide. A high degree of conservation in gene and protein structures in the same sub-cellular compartment was observed. Notably, all cytosolic GRs were found to be differentially expressed under heat and drought stresses. Predicted cis-regulatory elements and miRNA targets were found to be associated with abiotic, biotic and developmental responses. Our study explained the structural and functional information of the GR family and the roles of different members in maintaining redox homeostasis under abiotic stresses. The study has laid the basic ground work for detailed functional characterization in future studies and developing improved oilseed varieties better adaptive to environmental stress conditions.

    Abstract Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) is a crucial enzymatic antioxidant of the ascorbate-glutathione pathway involved in reactive oxygen species scavenging. Herein, we identified 15 TaMDHAR genes in bread wheat. Phylogenetic analysis revealed their clustering into three groups, which are also related to the subcellular localization in the peroxisome matrix, peroxisome membrane, and chloroplast. Each TaMDHAR protein consisted of two conserved domains; Pyr_redox and Pyr_redox_2 of the pyridine nucleotide disulfide oxidoreductase family. The occurrence of diverse groups of cis-regulatory elements in the promoter region and their interaction with numerous transcription factors suggest assorted functions of TaMDHARs in growth and development and in light, phytohormones, and stress responses. Expression analysis in various tissues further revealed their importance in vegetative and reproductive development. In addition, the differential gene expression and enhanced enzyme activity during drought, heat, and salt treatments exposed their role in abiotic stress response. Interaction of MDHARs with various antioxidant enzymes and biochemicals related to the ascorbate-glutathione cycle exposed their synchronized functioning. Interaction with auxin indicated the probability of cross-talk between antioxidants and auxin signaling. The miR168a, miR169, miR172 and others interaction with various TaMDHARs further directed their association with developmental processes and stress responses. The current study provides extensive information about the importance of TaMDHARs, moreover, the precise role of each gene needs to be established in future studies.

    Abstract Keymessage: CbSE overexpression increased stigmasterol levels and altered plant morphology. The genes upstream and downstream of CbSE were found to be upregulated, which confirms its regulatory role in the saponin biosynthetic pathway. Chlorophytum borivilianum is a high-value medicinal plant with many promising preclinical applications that include saponins as a major active ingredient. Squalene epoxidase (SE) is one of the major rate-limiting enzymes of the saponin biosynthetic pathway. Here, we functionally characterized C. borivilianum SE (CbSE) by over-expressing heterologously in Nicotiana tabacum. The heterologous expression of CbSE resulted in stunted pant growth with altered leaf and flower morphology. Next, RT-qPCR analysis of transgenic plants overexpressing CbSE revealed increased expression levels of Cycloartenol synthase (CAS), Beta amyrin synthase (βAS), and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase 51 (CYP51) (Cytochrome P450), which encode key enzymes for triterpenoid and phytosterol biosynthesis in C. borivilianum. Further, Methyl Jasmonate (MeJa) treatment upregulated Squalene synthase (SQS), SE, and Oxidosqualene cyclases (OSCs) to a significant level. GC-MS analysis of the leaf and hairy roots of the transformants showed an increased stigmasterol content (0.5-1.0 fold) compared to wild type (WT) plants. These results indicate that CbSE is a rate-limiting gene, which encodes an efficient enzyme responsible for phytosterol and triterpenoid production in C. borivilianum.

    Abstract Introduction: Duplication events are fundamental to co-evolution in host-pathogen interactions. Pseudogenes (Ψs) are dysfunctional paralogs of functional genes and resistance genes (Rs) in plants are the key to disarming pathogenic invasions. Thus, deciphering the roles of pseudo-R genes in plant defense is momentous.
    Objectives: This study aimed to functionally characterize diverse roles of the resistance Ψs as novel gene footprints and as significant gene regulators in the grapevine genome.
    Methods: PlantPseudo pipeline and HMM-profiling identified whole-genome duplication-derived (WGD) Ψs associated with resistance genes (Ψ-Rs). Further, novel antifungal and antimicrobial peptides were characterized for fungal associations using protein-protein docking with Erysiphe necator proteins. miRNA and tasiRNA target sites and transcription factor (TF) binding sites were predicted in Ψ-Rs. Finally, differential co-expression patterns in Ψ-Rs-lncRNAs-coding genes were identified using the UPGMA method.
    Results: 2,746 Ψ-Rs were identified from 31,032 WGD Ψs in the genome of grapevine. 69-antimicrobial and 81-antifungal novel peptides were generated from Ψ-Rs. The putative genic potential was predicted for five novel antifungal peptides which were further characterized by docking against E. necator proteins. 395 out of 527 resistance loci-specific Ψ-Rs were acting as parental gene mimics. Further, to explore the diverse roles of Ψ-Rs in plant-defense, we identified 37,026 TF-binding sites, 208 miRNA, and 99 tasiRNA targeting sites on these Ψ-Rs. 194 Ψ-Rs were exhibiting tissue-specific expression patterns. The co-expression network analysis between Ψs-lncRNA-genes revealed six out of 79 pathogen-responsive Ψ-Rs as significant during pathogen invasion.
    Conclusions: Our study provides pathogen responsive Ψ-Rs integral for pathogen invasion, which will offer a useful resource for future experimental validations. In addition, our findings on novel peptide generations from Ψ-Rs offer valuable insights which can serve as a useful resource for predicting novel genes with the futuristic potential of being investigated for their bioactivities in the plant system.

    Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles less than 5 mm in size that have become a major environmental pollutant due to their ubiquitous and persistent nature. Microplastic contamination of the aquatic environment has received the most attention so far, whereas the current understanding of MP prevalence and its impacts in the terrestrial environment is largely limited. The MP contamination of soil can cause bioaccumulation and toxicity in terrestrial animals and plants, which can consequently affect human health. This review is aimed towards combining the available information on the occurrence, sources, and effects of MPs on the different aspects of the terrestrial environment and to highlight the limitations in our knowledge regarding the nature and impacts of MPs in soil. The review also highlights microbial degradation of MPs as an advancing research area, with numerous microorganisms being identified as capable of efficiently degrading this persistent contaminant.
