The turnip has important economic value and represents a good model system to study gene function in crop plants. ERF/AP2 transcription factors are a major group of proteins that are often involved in regulating stress-responses and developmental programs. Some ERF/AP2 proteins are targets of CULLIN3-based E3 ligases that use BTB/POZ-MATH proteins as substrate receptors. These receptors bind the transcription factor and facilitate their ubiquitylation and subsequent degradation via the 26S proteasome. Here, we show tissue and stress-dependent expression patterns for three ERF/AP2 proteins that are closely related to AtRAP2.4. Cloning of the genes showed that the corresponding proteins can assemble with a BPM protein and CULLIN3, and that they are instable in a 26S proteasome dependent manner. This work demonstrates the conserved nature of the ERF/AP2-CULLIN3-based E3 ligase interplay, and represents a first step to analyze their function in a commercially relevant crop plant.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Ethylene-responsive factor (ERF) transcription factors in Nelumbo nucifera, an important aquatic plant, highlighting their crucial roles in plant development and stress responses.
- Researchers identified 107 ERF genes in the N. nucifera genome, categorized into 11 groups with varying expression patterns across different tissues; some genes show responsiveness to abiotic stresses like cold, drought, and salinity.
- The findings offer significant insights for future research on the functional roles of NnERF genes, especially in enhancing stress tolerance in N. nucifera.

Background: Primary response genes play a pivotal role in translating short-lived stress signals into sustained adaptive responses. In this study, we investigated the involvement of ATL80, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, in the dynamics of gene expression following water deprivation stress. We observed that ATL80 is rapidly activated within minutes of water deprivation stress perception, reaching peak expression around 60 min before gradually declining.

Background: The pod shattering (PS) trait negatively affects the crop yield in rapeseed especially under dry conditions. To better understand the trait and cultivate higher resistance varieties, it's necessary to identify key genes and unravel the PS mechanism thoroughly.
Results: In this study, we conducted a comparative transcriptome analysis between two materials significantly different in silique shatter resistance lignin deposition and polygalacturonase (PG) activity.
