miR472 Deficiency Enhances Defense Without Reducing Seed Production. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • MicroRNA (miRNA) and NLR genes in plants have co-evolved over 200 million years, forming a regulatory relationship crucial for balancing plant defense and growth.* -
  • The study specifically examines the role of miR472 in regulating NLR targets, showing that reduced levels of miR472 enhance pathogen resistance but also result in slower growth and delayed reproduction.* -
  • Findings suggest that while miR472 helps manage defense responses in plants, its reduction can lead to greater overall biomass and seed yield, indicating a complex relationship between plant growth and defense mechanisms.*

Article Abstract

After having co-existed in plant genomes for at least 200 million years, the products of microRNA (miRNA) and nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat protein (NLR) genes formed a regulatory relationship in the common ancestor of modern gymnosperms and angiosperms. From then on, DNA polymorphisms occurring at miRNA target sequences within NLR transcripts must have been compensated by mutations in the corresponding mature miRNA sequence. The potential evolutionary advantage of such regulation remains largely unknown and might be related to two nonexclusive scenarios: (i) miRNA-dependent regulation of NLR levels might prevent defense mis-activation with negative effects on plant growth and reproduction or (ii) reduction of active miRNA levels in response to pathogen-derived molecules (pathogen-associated molecular patterns [PAMPs] and silencing suppressors) might rapidly release otherwise silent NLR transcripts for rapid translation and thereby enhance defense. Here, we used plants deficient for miR472 function to study the impact of releasing its NLR targets on plant growth and reproduction and on defense against the fungal pathogen . We show that miR472 regulation has a dual role, participating both in the tight regulation of plant defense and growth. MIM472 lines, with reduced active miR472, are more resistant to pathogens and, correlatively, have reduced relative growth compared with wild-type plants, although the end of their reproductive phase is delayed, exhibiting higher adult biomass and similar seed yield as the wild-type. Our study highlights how negative consequences of defense activation might be compensated by changes in phenology and that miR472 reduction is an integral part of plant defense responses.
