E3 ubiquitin ligases play important roles in plant immunity, but their role in soybean has not been investigated previously. Here, we used (BPMV)-mediated virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) to investigate the function of SAUL1 (Senescence-Associated E3 Ubiquitin Ligase 1) homologs in soybean. When two closely related homologs were silenced simultaneously, the soybean plants displayed autoimmune phenotypes, which were significantly alleviated by high temperature, suggesting that SAUL1a/1b might be guarded by an R protein. Interestingly, silencing resulted in the decreased activation of MPK6, but increased activation of MPK3 in response to flg22, suggesting that the activation of MPK3 is most likely responsible for the activated immunity observed in the SAUL1a/1b-silenced plants. Furthermore, we provided evidence that SAUL1a is a bona fide E3 ligase. Collectively, our results indicated that SAUL1 plays a negative role in regulating cell death and immunity in soybean.

Plant cell surface-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize microbial patterns and activate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). Typical PTI responses include reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst controlled by the NADPH oxidase RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOG D (RbohD) and activation of the MAP kinase (MAPK) cascade composed of MAPKKK3/5-MKK4/5-MPK3/6. However, the mechanisms through which PRRs regulate and coordinate these immune responses are not fully understood.

In Arabidopsis thaliana, the asymmetric cell division (ACD) of the zygote gives rise to the embryo proper and an extraembryonic suspensor, respectively. This process is controlled by the ERECTA-YODA-MPK3/6 receptor kinase-MAP kinase-signaling pathway, which also orchestrates ACDs in the epidermis. In this context, the bHLH transcription factor ICE1/SCRM is negatively controlled by MPK3/6-directed phosphorylation.

Two mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades with MPK4 and MPK3/MPK6 as the bottommost kinases are key to plant growth/development and immune signaling. Disruption of the MPK4 cascade leads to severe dwarfism and autoimmunity, complicating the study of MPK4 in plant growth/development and immunity. In this study, we successfully rescued the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mpk4 mutant using a chemical-sensitized MPK4 variant, MPK4YG, creating a conditional activity-null mpk4 mutant named MPK4SR (genotype: PMPK4:MPK4YG mpk4) that could be used to examine the functions of MPK4 in plant growth/development and immunity.

Olive oil production generates substantial quantities of pomace, which are often disposed of in soil, leading to adverse effects on agriculture and the environment. Furthermore, climate change exacerbates plant diseases and promotes the use of toxic phytochemicals in agriculture. However, olive mill wastes can have high potential as reusable and valuable bioresources.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how CLAVATA3 INSENSITIVE RECEPTOR KINASEs (CIKs) affect lateral root (LR) development in plants, specifically Arabidopsis, revealing their importance in LR initiation and spacing alongside RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 7 (RLK7).
- CIK mutants displayed an increase in LR formation due to improper spacing and reduced sensitivity to the TOLS2 peptide, suggesting a disruption in the signaling pathway between TOLS2 and RLK7.
- The research identifies a signaling cascade involving MKK4/5 and the transcription factor PUCHI that helps CIKs and RLK7 coordinate LR development in response to auxin concentration in specific root
