The effect of biotic stress induced by viral infection (Potato virus Y, strain NTN and O) on NADP-malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L., cv. Petit Havana, SR1) was tested at the transcriptional, translational and activity level. The increase of enzyme activity in infected leaves was correlated with the increased amount of expressed protein and with mRNA of cytosolic NADP-ME isoform. Transcription of the chloroplastic enzyme was not influenced by viral infection. The increase of the enzyme activity was also detected in stems and roots of infected plants. The effect of viral infection induced by Potato virus Y, NTN strain, causing more severe symptoms, was compared with the effect induced by milder strain PVY(O). The observed increase in NADP-malic enzyme activity in all parts of the studied plants was higher in the case of PVY(NTN) strain than in the case of strain PVY(O). The relevance of NADP-malic enzyme in plants under stress conditions was discussed.

Mechanism of induced soluble sugar accumulation and organic acid reduction in plum fruits by application of melatonin.

Melatonin (MT) can improve plant resistance and fruit quality. The mechanism by which MT affects soluble sugar and organic acids accumulation in drupe fruits is not clear. In this study, 100 µmol/L MT was sprayed on the leaves of plum trees at the second stage of rapid fruit expansion (90 and 97 d after flowering), and the effects of MT on plum fruit quality and its effects on the soluble sugar-organic acid metabolism were investigated.

Background And Aims: To better understand C4 evolution in monocots, we characterized C3-C4 intermediate phenotypes in the grass genus Homolepis (subtribe Arthropogoninae).
Methods: Carbon isotope ratio (δ13C), leaf gas exchange, mesophyll (M) to bundle sheath (BS) tissue characteristics, organelle size and numbers in M and BS tissue, and tissue distribution of the P-subunit of glycine decarboxylase (GLDP) were determined for five Homolepis species and the C4 grass Mesosetum loliiforme from a phylogenetic sister clade. We generated a transcriptome-based phylogeny for Homolepis and Mesosetum species to interpret physiological and anatomical patterns in an evolutionary context, and to test for hybridization.

In crop genetic improvement, the introduction of C4 plants' characteristics, known for high photosynthetic efficiency and water utilization, into C3 plants has been a significant challenge. This study investigates the effects of the desert halophyte gene from a single-cell C4 photosythetic pathway, on drought resistance and photosynthetic performance in . We used transgenic with from C4 plant with classic Kranz anatomical structure and from C3 photosynthetic cycle plants as controls.

Article Synopsis
- C4 grasses, like sugarcane, use the NADP-malic enzyme (C4NADP-ME) for efficient CO2 delivery to Rubisco in photosynthesis, but understanding its gene regulation in sugarcane is difficult due to its complex genetics.
- Studies show that sugarcane mainly utilizes the NADP-ME pathway similar to other C4 crops, and analyses identified 8 core genes involved in the C4 pathway, including the C4NADP-ME gene.
- A proposed regulatory network indicates that the transcription factor ABI5 is the key regulator for the expression of the C4NADP-ME gene in sugarcane, with a conserved regulatory sequence found in multiple C4

Light, as a crucial environmental determinant, profoundly influences the synthesis of secondary metabolites in plant metabolism. This study investigated the impacts of the red light combined with ultraviolet-A (UV-A) and ultraviolet-B (UV-B) treatments on phenolic acid biosynthesis in black wheat seedlings. The results demonstrate that the red light combined with UV-A and UV-B treatments significantly enhanced the levels of phenolic acids in black wheat seedlings, at 220.
