Article Abstract
The Nicotiana attenuata LECTIN RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (LecRK1) has been recently identified as a component of the mechanism used by plants to suppress the Manduca sexta-triggered accumulation of salicylic acid (SA). The suppression of the SA burst by LecRK1 allows for the unfettered induction of jasmonic acid (JA)-mediated defense responses against M. sexta herbivory. LecRK1 contains a multi-domain extracellular region composed of a G-type Lectin domain and a PAN-AP domain separated by a variable sequence with low similarity to an EGF domain. The LecRK1 intracellular region is composed of a single domain structure with predicted Ser/Thr protein kinase activity. The multi-domain structure of the extracellular region of LecRK1 adds a level of complexity in terms of the potential ligands that this receptor protein could recognize.

Background: Specialised anti-herbivory metabolites are abundant in the solanaceous genus . These metabolites include the large family of 17-hydroxygeranyllinalool diterpene glycosides (HGL-DTGs). Many HGL-DTGs occur exclusively within the genus, but information from the molecular model species , , and the tree tobacco is limited.

Pentacyclic triterpenoids, recognized for their natural bioactivity, display complex spatiotemporal accumulation patterns within the ecological model plant Nicotiana attenuata. Despite their ecological importance, the underlying biosynthetic enzymes and functional attributes of triterpenoid synthesis in N. attenuata remain unexplored.

Biosynthesis of the phytoalexins scopoletin and scopolin in Nicotiana species is regulated by upstream signals including jasmonate (JA), ethylene (ET), and NaWRKY3 in response to the necrotrophic fungus Alternaria alternata, which causes brown spot disease. However, how these signals are coordinated to regulate these phytoalexins remains unknown. By analyzing RNA sequencing data and RNAi, we identified NaERF1B-like (NaERF1B-L) as a key player in Nicotiana attenuata during A.

Nicotiana attenuata styles preferentially select pollen from among accessions with corresponding expression patterns of NaS-like-RNases (SLRs), and the postpollination ethylene burst (PPEB) is an accurate predictor of seed siring success. However, the ecological consequences of mate selection, its effect on the progeny, and the role of SLRs in the control of ethylene signaling remain unknown. We explored the link between the magnitude of the ethylene burst and expression of the SLRs in a set of recombinant inbred lines (RILs), dissected the genetic underpinnings of mate selection through genome-wide association study (GWAS), and examined its outcome for phenotypes in the next generation.
