During pollen-stigma interaction, pollen coat protein B-class peptides (PCP-Bs) compete with stigmatic rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) for interaction with FERONIA/ANJEA receptor kinases (FER/ANJ), stimulating pollen hydration and germination. However, the molecular mechanism underlying PCP-Bs-induced, FER/ANJ-regulated compatible responses remains largely unknown. Through PCP-Bγ-induced phosphoproteomic analysis, we characterized a series of pollination-related signaling pathways regulated by FER/ANJ.

- Leaf photosynthesis is crucial for plant energy and global carbon fixation but is negatively affected by environmental stress and climate change.
- The study analyzed photosynthetic responses under varying precipitation and temperature conditions, finding that increased precipitation boosts CO2 assimilation and chlorophyll content, while water deficit significantly reduces these rates.
- High temperatures exacerbate drought effects, altering the balance of photosynthetic components and leading to lower photosynthesis efficiency, with non-stomatal limitations being significant in carbon assimilation under different conditions.
Myeloblastosis (MYB) proteins represent one of the largest families of eukaryotic transcription factors and regulate important processes in growth and development. Studies on MYBs have mainly focused on animals and plants; however, comprehensive analysis across other supergroups such as SAR (stramenopiles, alveolates, and rhizarians) is lacking. This study characterized the structure, evolution, and expression of MYBs in four brown algae, which comprise the biggest multicellular lineage of SAR.
