Heterologous overexpression of StERF3 triggers cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana

Yetong Qi et al.

Summary: The potato transcription factor StERF3 promotes colonization of Phytophthora infestans in Nicotiana benthamiana and induces cell death. Its cell death-inducing ability is affected by two key amino acids in the ERF domain, and deletion or mutation of the EAR motif diminishes this ability. StERF3 interacts with co-repressors via the EAR motif and facilitates cell death, which is compromised by silencing of related genes in Nicotiana benthamiana. Moreover, StERF3-induced cell death is associated with ROS bursts and upregulation of cell death regulator genes.

Transcriptomic Profiling Provides Molecular Insights Into Hydrogen Peroxide-Enhanced Arabidopsis Growth and Its Salt Tolerance

Qikun Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of H2O2 pretreatment on the salt tolerance of Arabidopsis seedlings. The results show that appropriate concentrations of H2O2 pretreatment enhance the salt tolerance ability of Arabidopsis seedlings. This is evidenced by lower Na+ levels, greater K+ levels, and improved K+/Na+ ratios in leaves. H2O2 pretreatment also improves membrane properties, reduces relative membrane permeability and malondialdehyde content, and enhances the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, H2O2 pretreatment induces the expression of genes related to cell cycle, redox regulation, and cell wall organization in Arabidopsis, which may contribute to improved tolerance to osmotic stress and better adaptation to high-salt environments.
