    Abstract Verticillium dahliae is a kind of pathogenic fungus that brings about wilt disease and great losses in cotton. The molecular mechanism of the effectors in V. dahliae regulating cotton immunity remains largely unknown. Here we identified an effector of V. dahliae, VdPHB1, whose gene expression is highly induced by infection. VdPHB1 protein is localized in the intercellular space of cotton plants. Knockout VdPHB1 gene in V. dahliae had no effect on pathogen growth, but decreased the virulence in cotton. VdPHB1 ectopically expressed Arabidopsis plants were growth-inhibited and significantly susceptible to V. dahliae. Further, VdPHB1 interacted with the type II metacaspase GhMC4. GhMC4 gene silenced cotton plants were more sensitive to V. dahliae with reduced expressions of pathogen defense-related and programmed cell death genes. The accumulation of GhMC4 protein were concurrently repressed when VdPHB1 protein expressed during infection. In summary, these results revealed a novel molecular mechanism of virulence regulation that the secreted effector VdPHB1 represses the activity of cysteine protease for helping V. dahliae infection in cotton.

    Abstract Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development, and its availability is regulated to some extent by drought stress. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) are a unique family of Ca2+ sensors with diverse functions in N uptake and drought-tolerance signaling pathways; however, how CPKs are involved in the crosstalk between drought stress and N transportation remains largely unknown. Here, we identify the drought-tolerance function of Arabidopsis CPK6 under high N conditions. CPK6 expression was induced by ABA and drought treatments. The mutant cpk6 was insensitive to ABA treatment and low N, but was sensitive to drought only under high N conditions. CPK6 interacted with the NRT1.1 (CHL1) protein and phosphorylated the Thr447 residue, which then repressed the NO3- transporting activity of Arabidopsis under high N and drought stress. Taken together, our results show that CPK6 regulates Arabidopsis drought tolerance through changing the phosphorylation state of NRT1.1, and improve our knowledge of N uptake in plants during drought stress.

    Abstract With the development of high-throughput biology techniques and artificial intelligence, it has become increasingly feasible to design and construct artificial biological parts, modules, circuits, and even whole systems. To overcome the limitations of native promoters in controlling gene expression, artificial promoter design aims to synthesize short, inducible, and conditionally controlled promoters to coordinate the expression of multiple genes in diverse plant metabolic and signaling pathways. Synthetic promoters are versatile and can drive gene expression accurately with smart responses; they show potential for enhancing desirable traits in crops, thereby improving crop yield, nutritional quality, and food security. This review first illustrates the importance of synthetic promoters, then introduces promoter architecture and thoroughly summarizes advances in synthetic promoter construction. Restrictions to the development of synthetic promoters and future applications of such promoters in synthetic plant biology and crop improvement are also discussed.

    Abstract Ethylene plays an essential role in the development of cotton fibres. Ethylene biosynthesis in plants is elaborately regulated by the activities of key enzymes, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase (ACO) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS); however, the potential mechanism of post-translational modification of ACO and ACS to control ethylene synthesis in cotton fibres remains unclear. Here, we identify an E3 ubiquitin ligase, GhXB38D, that regulates ethylene biosynthesis during fibre elongation in cotton. GhXB38D gene is highly expressed in cotton fibres during the rapid elongation stage. Suppressing GhXB38D expression in cotton significantly enhanced fibre elongation and length, accompanied by the up-regulation of genes associated with ethylene signalling and fibre elongation. We demonstrated that GhXB38D interacts with the ethylene biosynthesis enzymes GhACS4 and GhACO1 in elongating fibres and specifically mediates their ubiquitination and degradation. The inhibition of GhXB38D gene expression increased the stability of GhACS4 and GhACO1 proteins in cotton fibres and ovules, resulting in an elevated concentration of ethylene. Our findings highlight the role of GhXB38D as a regulator of ethylene synthesis by ubiquitinating ACS4 and ACO1 proteins and modulating their stability. GhXB38D acts as a negative regulator of fibre elongation and serves as a potential target for enhancing cotton fibre yield and quality through gene editing strategy.

    Abstract Targeting proteins for Xklp2 (TPX2s) comprise a class of MAPs that are essential for plant growth and development by regulating the dynamic changes of microtubules (MTs) and proper formation of cytoskeleton. However, the function of TPX2 proteins in cotton fiber development remains poorly understood. Here, we identified the function of a fiber elongation-specific TPX2 protein, GhMAP20L5, in cotton. Suppressed GhMAP20L5 gene expression in cotton (GhMAP20L5i) significantly reduced fiber elongation rate, fiber length and lint percentage. GhMAP20L5i fibers had thinner and looser secondary cell walls (SCW), and incompact helix twists. GhMAP20L5 specifically interacted with the tubulin GhTUB13 on the cytoskeleton. Gene coexpression analysis showed that GhMAP20L5 involved in multiple pathways related to cytoskeleton establishment and fiber cell wall formation and affected cellulase genes expressions. In summary, our results revealed that GhMAP20L5 is important for fiber development by regulating cytoskeleton establishment and the cellulose deposition in cotton.

    Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause destructive damage to biological macromolecules and protein dysfunction in bacteria. Methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) with redox-active Cys and/or seleno-cysteine (Sec) residues can restore physiological functions of the proteome, which is essential for oxidative stress tolerance of the extremophile Deinococcus radiodurans. However, the underlying mechanism regulating MsrA enzyme activity in D. radiodurans under oxidative stress has remained elusive. Here, we identified the function of MsrA in response to oxidative stress.

    Abstract Plants exhibit remarkable developmental plasticity, enabling them to adapt to adverse environmental conditions such as low nitrogen (N) in the soil. Brassinosteroids (BRs) promote root foraging for nutrients under mild N deficiency, but the crosstalk between the BR- and N-signaling pathways in the regulation of root growth remains largely unknown. Here, we show that CALMODULIN-LIKE-38 (CML38), a calmodulin-like protein, specifically interacts with the PEP1 RECEPTOR 2 (PEPR2), and negatively regulates root elongation in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) in response to low nitrate (LN). CML38 and PEPR2 are transcriptionally induced by treatments of exogenous nitrate and BR. Compared with Col-0, the single mutants cml38 and pepr2 and the double mutant cml38 pepr2 displayed enhanced primary root growth and produced more lateral roots under LN. This is consistent with their higher nitrate absorption abilities, and their stronger expression of nitrate assimilation genes. Furthermore, CML38 and PEPR2 regulate common downstream genes related to BR signaling, and they have positive roles in BR signaling. Low N facilitated BR signal transmission in Col-0 and CML38- or PEPR2-overexpressing plants, but not in the cml38 and pepr2 mutants. Taken together, our results illustrate a mechanism by which CML38 interacts with PEPR2 to integrate LN and BR signals for coordinating root development to prevent quick depletion of N resources in Arabidopsis.
