AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on phospholipase D genes in perennial ryegrass, identifying 12 PLD genes, with LpPLDδ3 being a key player in stress responses.
  • LpPLDδ3 expression was negatively affected by ABA treatment but positively induced by drought and heat stress, leading to improved stress tolerance when overexpressed in Arabidopsis.
  • The overexpression of LpPLDδ3 not only enhanced plant survival rates during stress but also activated heat stress-related genes, revealing a regulatory relationship between LpABF2, LpABF4, and LpPLDδ3.

Article Abstract

The phospholipase Ds (PLDs) are crucial for cellular signalling and play roles in plant abiotic stress response. In this study, we identified 12 PLD genes from the genome data of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), which is widely used as forage and turfgrass. Among them, LpPLDδ3 was significantly repressed by ABA treatment, and induced by drought stress and heat stress treatments. The ectopic overexpression (OE) of LpPLDδ3 in Arabidopsis enhanced plant tolerance to osmotic and heat stress as demonstrated by an increased survival rate and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation and electrolyte leakage (EL). Arabidopsis endogenous ABA RESPONSIVE ELEMENT BINDING FACTORs (ABFs) and heat stress responsive genes were elevated in LpPLDδ3 OE lines under osmotic and heat stress treatments. Additionally, overexpression of LpPLDδ3 in perennial ryegrass protoplasts could increase heat stress tolerance and elevate expression level of heat stress responsive genes. Moreover, LpABF2 and LpABF4 depressed the LpPLDδ3 expression by directly binding to its ABRE core-binding motif of promoter region. In summary, LpPLDδ3 was repressed by LpABF2 and LpABF4 and positively involved in perennial ryegrass osmotic and heat stress responses.

Background: Continuous fermentation offers advantages in improving production efficiency and reducing costs, making it highly competitive for industrial ethanol production. A key requirement for Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains used in this process is their tolerance to high ethanol concentrations, which enables them to adapt to continuous fermentation conditions. To explore how yeast cells respond to varying levels of ethanol stress during fermentation, a two-month continuous fermentation was conducted.

Heat stress enhances the expression of METTL3 to mediate N6-methyladenosine modification of SOS2 and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in boar Sertoli cells.

Heat stress negatively affects pig production by disrupting the immune homeostasis of Sertoli cells (SCs), which compromises sperm quality, culminating in male infertility. Herein, we aimed to study the mechanism by which the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by heat stress through N6-methyladenosine (mA) modification regulation in SCs. Initially, it was found that heat stress (44°C, 30 min) markedly activated ERK1/2 signaling, which subsequently promoted NLRP3 inflammasome activation and inflammatory cytokine release from SCs.

Intracellular protein aggregation causes proteotoxic stress, underlying highly debilitating neurodegenerative disorders in parallel with decreased proteasome activity. Nevertheless, under such stress conditions, the expression of proteasome subunits is upregulated by Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-related factor 1 (NRF1), a transcription factor that is encoded by NFE2L1. Activating the NRF1 pathway could accordingly delay the onset of neurodegenerative and other disorders with impaired cell proteostasis.

Coral reefs are highly productive ecosystems that provide valuable services to coastal communities worldwide. However, both local and global anthropogenic stressors, threaten the coral-algal symbiosis that enables reef formation. This breakdown of the symbiotic relationship, known as bleaching, is often triggered by cumulative cell damage.
