Desiccation-tolerant plants are able to survive for extended periods of time in the absence of water. The molecular understanding of the mechanisms used by these plants to resist droughts can be of great value for improving drought tolerance in crops. This understanding is especially relevant in an environment that tends to increase the number and intensity of droughts. The combination of certain microorganisms with drought-sensitive plants can improve their tolerance to water scarcity. One of these bacteria is sp. 3J1, an actinobacteria able to protect pepper plants from drought. In this study, we supplemented drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive plant rhizospheres with sp. 3J1 and analyzed their proteomes under drought to investigate the plant-microbe interaction. We also compare this root proteome with the proteome found in desiccation-tolerant plants. In addition, we studied the proteome of sp. 3J1 subjected to drought to analyze its contribution to the plant-microbe interaction. We describe those mechanisms shared by desiccation-tolerant plants and sensitive plants protected by microorganisms focusing on protection against oxidative stress, and production of compatible solutes, plant hormones, and other more specific proteins.

Extreme dryness is lethal for nearly all plants, excluding the so-called resurrection plants, which evolved vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) by recruiting genes common in most plants. To better understand the evolution of VDT, we generated chromosome-level assemblies and improved genome annotations of two Selaginella species with contrasting abilities to survive desiccation. We identified genomic features and critical mechanisms associated with VDT through sister-group comparative genomics integrating multi-omics data.

Unlabelled: Mosses, particularly desiccation-tolerant (DT) species, are important model organisms for studying genes involved in plant development and stress resistance. The lack of a simple and efficient stable moss transformation system has hindered progress in deciphering the genetic mechanisms underlying traits of interest in these organisms. Here, we present an -mediated transformation system for DT mosses that uses strain EHA105 harboring the binary vector pCAMBIA1301-GUS.

Article Synopsis
- The English yew is an evergreen tree found across Europe and North Africa, but its populations are declining due to habitat loss linked to human activities.
- A four-year study investigated why yew seeds are not successfully regenerating, focusing on issues like seed germination, dormancy, and predation by animals.
- The research identified seed predation and morphophysiological dormancy as key factors affecting regeneration, with recommendations for further studies to assess the impact of seed predation on the survival of yew seedlings.

LEA_1 domain-containing proteins constitute a class of late-embryogenesis-abundant proteins that are highly hydrophilic and predominantly accumulate in mature seeds. Though LEA_1 proteins have been proven to be essential for seed desiccation tolerance and longevity, little information is available on their roles in non-seed storage organs. In this study, a first genome-wide characterization of the gene family was conducted in tigernut ( L.

Terrestrial organisms have systems to escape from desiccation stresses. For example, tardigrades (also known as water bears) can survive severe dried and other extreme environments by anhydrobiosis. Although their extraordinary ability has enchanted people, little is known about the detailed molecular mechanisms of anhydrobiosis.
