Oxylipins are important oxygenated derivatives of fatty acids that regulate a variety of plant physiological and pathological processes in response to specific external challenges. A large body of evidence has indicated that algae can also produce a surprisingly diverse array of volatile oxylipins, yet little is known about the roles of volatile oxylipins as defense signals in macroalgae. In this study, the kelp Macrocystis pyrifera was treated by the oxylipin messenger 1-octen-3-ol and then a genome-wide gene expression profile and fatty acid spectrum analysis were performed. We found that M. pyrifera responded rapidly to the exposure of the oxylipin messenger 1-octen-3-ol. It regulated the expression levels of genes mainly involved in signal transduction, lipid metabolism, oxidation prevention, cell wall synthesis, photosynthesis, and development. Moreover, 1-octen-3-ol treatments decreased several types of total fatty acid contents and increased free fatty acid contents, especially for the C18 and C20 fatty acids. In addition, it decreased the content of indole-3-acetic acid, abscisic acid, and zeatin and increased the gibberellic acid content. Our findings demonstrated that 1-octen-3-ol is an available inducer for M. pyrifera, which is capable of rapidly upregulating kelp's defense response.

Calcium (Ca) is a second messenger in various physiological processes within plants. The significance of the Ca/H exchanger (CAX) has been established in facilitating Ca transport in plants; however, disease resistance functions of the gene remain elusive. In this study, we conducted sequence characterization and expression analysis for a sugarcane gene, (GenBank Accession Number: MW206380).

Article Synopsis
- - Aspergillus ochraceus, a fungus known for producing ochratoxin A (OTA), utilizes quorum sensing (QS) to communicate and adapt to its environment, influencing its ecological role and life cycle.
- - The study identifies that the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and cAMP pathway play key roles in transmitting density information, with a density threshold of 10 spores/mL being crucial for OTA production.
- - The findings emphasize the importance of carbohydrate and oxylipin signaling in regulating both primary and secondary metabolism in A. ochraceus, which could lead to strategies for preventing mycotoxin pollution through better understanding of fungal cell communication.

Plants are exposed to a variety of pests and pathogens that reduce crop productivity. Plants respond to such attacks by activating a sophisticated signaling cascade that initiates with the recognition of pests/pathogens and may culminate into a resistance response. Lipids, being the structural components of cellular membranes, function as mediators of these signaling cascades and thus are instrumental in the regulation of plant defense responses.

The highly phosphorylated nucleotide, guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp), functions as a secondary messenger in bacteria and chloroplasts. The accumulation of ppGpp alters plastidial gene expression and metabolism, which are required for proper photosynthetic regulation and robust plant growth. However, because four plastid-localized ppGpp synthases/hydrolases function redundantly, the impact of the loss of ppGpp-dependent stringent response on plant physiology remains unclear.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), and in particular HO, serve as essential second messengers at low concentrations. However, excessive ROS accumulation leads to severe and irreversible cell damage. Hence, control of ROS levels is needed, especially under non-optimal growth conditions caused by abiotic or biotic stresses, which at least initially stimulate ROS synthesis.
