Meta-analysis of drought and heat stress combination impact on crop yield and yield components

Itay Cohen et al.

Summary: The combination of drought and heat waves can have a devastating impact on agricultural production and crop yield, affecting harvest index, crop life cycle, and seed characteristics. These impacts are more severe when the stress is applied during the reproductive stage of plants. Future studies and breeding efforts should focus on how different crop species respond to drought and heat combination at the reproductive stage.

Hot topic: Thermosensing in plants

Scott Hayes et al.

Summary: Plants modify their morphology and cellular homeostasis to enhance resilience under different heat conditions. Molecular processes underlying these responses involve diverse mechanisms, with a focus on the model plant Arabidopsis. These responses include direct temperature sensors, heat-regulated processes mediated by ion channels, lipids, and lipid-modifying enzymes, occurring at the plasma membrane and the chloroplast.

Histone H3K4 methyltransferases SDG25 and ATX1 maintain heat-stress gene expression during recovery in Arabidopsis

Ze-Ting Song et al.

Summary: This study investigated the role of histone H3K4 methyltransferases SDG25 and ATX1 in heat stress tolerance in Arabidopsis, demonstrating their importance in regulating stress-responsive gene expression during both heat stress and stress recovery stages. Mutations of SDG25 and ATX1 were found to decrease histone H3K4me3 levels, increase DNA cytosine methylation, and inhibit the expression of a subset of heat stress-responsive genes during stress recovery. ChIP-qPCR results confirmed the binding of ATX1 to chromatin associated with these target genes, highlighting the impact of histone H3K4me3 on DNA methylation and transcriptional memory in plants under heat stress.

Conserved pleiotropy of an ancient plant homeobox gene uncovered by cis-regulatory dissection

Anat Hendelman et al.

Summary: The study explores the functional divergence of WOX9 in tomato and reveals hidden pleiotropic roles through a comprehensive allelic series. Mimicking these alleles in Arabidopsis exposes new inflorescence phenotypes, indicating deeply conserved pleiotropy in gene function. The findings suggest that targeted cis-regulatory mutations can uncover conserved gene functions and reduce undesirable effects in crop improvement.

ROS regulated reversible protein phase separation synchronizes plant flowering

Xiaozhen Huang et al.

Summary: The study reveals that H2O2 in plant shoot apical meristem triggers reversible protein phase separation of TMF, a transcription factor that controls flowering transition in tomatoes. This process involves oxidation-regulated disulfide bonds formation within TMF, allowing it to bind and repress the expression of floral identity genes, providing aerobic organisms with flexibility in gene control in response to developmental cues.

The INO80 chromatin remodeling complex promotes thermomorphogenesis by connecting H2A.Z eviction and active transcription in Arabidopsis

Mande Xue et al.

Summary: Research has shown that the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex promotes thermomorphogenesis and activates expression of thermoresponsive and auxin-related genes. INO80 associates with PIF4, a regulator of thermomorphogenesis, and mediates temperature-induced H2A.Z eviction at PIF4 targets. Additionally, INO80 interacts with COMPASS-like and transcription elongation factors to promote active histone modification, leading to thermal induction of transcription.

HSP90 affects root growth in Arabidopsis by regulating the polar distribution of PIN1

Despina Samakovli et al.

Summary: HSP90 plays a crucial role in regulating auxin distribution and signaling in plants, affecting root growth, gravity response, and lateral root formation. The depletion of HSP90 results in distorted polar distribution of auxin and impaired root gravitropism, highlighting the essential role of HSP90 in auxin homeostasis during plant development.

Warm nights disrupt transcriptome rhythms in field-grown rice panicles

Jigar S. Desai et al.

Summary: The increase in nighttime temperatures has detrimental effects on rice grain yield and quality, with warmer nighttime temperatures disrupting gene expression timing and reducing productivity. Transcripts with a 24-hour periodicity and circadian-regulated transcripts are more sensitive to warm nighttime temperatures, suggesting a disruption in the temporal coordination between internal molecular events and the environment. Identification of transcriptional regulators and affected transcripts through network analysis provides insight into the molecular mechanisms driving sensitivity to warm nighttime temperatures and potential targets for enhancing tolerance.

RNA-directed DNA methylation prevents rapid and heritable reversal of transposon silencing under heat stress in Zea mays

Wei Guo et al.

Summary: The study shows that in maize, RdDM maintains heritable silencing of transposons through histone modifications even in the absence of DNA methylation. High temperature exposure can reverse these modifications and transcriptional silencing, but DNA methylation is found to be necessary to buffer the effects of environmental stress on transposable elements.

Genetic and epigenetic variation in transposable element expression responses to abiotic stress in maize

Zhikai Liang et al.

Summary: This study reveals that although TEs can generate transcripts under heat or cold stress conditions, genome-wide activation of TEs did not occur. There is substantial variation in the stress-responsive expression of TE families among different genotypes, with the driving factors being largely concentrated on specific elements within TE families lacking DNA methylation. The differences in TE expression between genotypes are attributed to genetic and epigenetic variations, where fully methylated elements tend to be inactive while those with regions lacking DNA methylation are more likely to be expressed.

Two interacting ethylene response factors regulate heat stress response

Jianyan Huang et al.

Summary: The study revealed the positive role of ethylene signaling, ERF95, and ERF97 in basal thermotolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana and established the relationship between them. EIN3 physically binds to the promoters of ERF95 and ERF97, enhancing plant response to heat stress. ERF95 and ERF97 function genetically downstream of EIN3 and increase basal thermotolerance by regulating a common set of target genes.
