To investigate the effects of salt stress and PEG-6000 simulating drought stress on the active oxygen and antioxidant enzyme activities, as well as the expression level of RbohC and RbohF genes, the seedlings of two Brassica campestris, Longyou 6 and Tianyou 2, were treated with U0126 (a MAPKK inhibitor), DMTU (a HO scavenger), as well as DPI and IMD (NADPH oxidase inhibitors). The results showed that under both stresses, HO accumulation as well as antioxidant enzyme (SOD, CAT, APX, GR) activities and the expression of RbohC and RbohF genes increased, while O accumulation decreased. The O accumulation, antioxidant enzyme activity and RbohC and RbohF genes expression in both varieties all significantly decreased. Compared to seedlings with on pretreatment before salt and PEG-6000 simulating drought stress, the accumulation of HO decreased in seedlings pretreated with DMTU, DPI and IMD. However, the accumulation of HO increased in those pretreated with U0126. Those results indicated that the NADPH oxidase, MAP kinase cascade and HO were involved in the regulation of active oxygen production and antioxidant enzyme activity, as well as the expression of RbohC and RbohF under salt stress and drought stress.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as a group of signaling molecules in rice functioning in regulation of development and stress responses. Respiratory burst oxidase homologues (Rbohs) are key enzymes in generation of ROS. However, the role of the nine Rboh family members was not fully understood in rice multiple disease resistance and yield traits.

A potassium-sensing niche in Arabidopsis roots orchestrates signaling and adaptation responses to maintain nutrient homeostasis.

Article Synopsis
  • Plants require potassium (K) for essential homeostasis, and understanding how they sense and respond to K availability is crucial for sustainable agriculture.
  • The study identifies a specialized area in plant roots called the K-sensing niche (KSN) where drops in K levels trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) signals that coordinate responses to K deficiency.
  • The findings reveal a signaling pathway involving CIF peptides and specific receptor complexes that activate processes to enhance K uptake and root maturation, ensuring that plants maintain K homeostasis effectively.

Aspartate oxidase plays an important role in Arabidopsis stomatal immunity.

Plant Physiol

Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7UH, United Kingdom.

Perception of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as bacterial flagellin (or the peptide flg22), by surface-localized receptors activates defense responses and subsequent immunity. In a previous forward-genetic screen aimed at the identification of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) flagellin-insensitive (fin) mutants, we isolated fin4, which is severely affected in flg22-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) bursts. Here, we report that FIN4 encodes the chloroplastic enzyme ASPARTATE OXIDASE (AO), which catalyzes the first irreversible step in the de novo biosynthesis of NAD.
