Signal transduction in plants determines their successful adaptation to diverse stress factors. Our group employed suspension cells to study the phosphoinositide pathway, which is triggered by aluminium stress. We investigated about members of the PI-specific phospholipase C (PLC) family and evaluated their transcription profiles in Coffea arabica (Ca) suspension cells after 14days of culture when treated or not with 100μM AlCl. The four CaPLC1-4 members showed changes in their transcript abundance upon AlCl treatment. The expression profiles of CaPLC1/2 exhibited a rapid and transitory increase in abundance. In contrast, CaPLC3 and CaPLC4 showed that transcript levels were up-regulated in short times (at 30s), while only CaPLC4 kept high levels and CaPLC3 was reduced to basal after 3h of treatment. CaPLC proteins were heterologously expressed, and CaPLC2 and CaPLC4 were tested for in vitro activity in the presence or absence of AlCl and compared to Arabidopsis PLC2 (AtPLC2). A crude extract was isolated from coffee cells. CaPLC2 showed a similar inhibition (30%) as in AtPLC2 and in the crude extract, while in CaPLC4, the activity was enhanced by AlCl. Additionally, we visualized the yellow fluorescent protein PH domain of human PLCδ1 (YFP-PH) subcellular localization in cells that were treated or not with AlCl. In non-treated cells, we observed a polar fluorescence signal towards the fused membrane. However, when cells were treated with AlCl, these signals were disrupted. Finally, this is the first time that PLC activity has been shown to be stimulated in vitro by AlCl.

Introduction: (Arabica coffee) is an important cash crop in Yunnan, China. Ongoing climate change has made coffee production more difficult to sustain, posing challenges for the region's coffee industry. Predictions of the distribution of potentially suitable habitats for Arabica coffee in Yunnan could provide a theoretical basis for the cultivation and rational management of this species.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to track key enzymes and chemical changes in coffee during Self-Induced Anaerobiosis Fermentation (SIAF) with different yeasts, assessing their effects on seed germination.
- - Yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Torulospora delbrueckii showed high enzyme activity and cell populations after fermentation, with significant changes in organic acids detected.
- - The findings indicate that fermentation methods affect seed quality differently, with conventional processing preserving more viable seeds compared to SIAF.
