Convergent evolution of plant specialized 1,4-naphthoquinones: metabolism, trafficking, and resistance to their allelopathic effects

George W. Meyer et al.

Summary: 1,4-naphthoquinones are specialized metabolites synthesized by plants to mediate interactions with other organisms, showing a remarkable case of convergent evolution. Recent studies suggest that the independent evolution of these compounds may be attributed to metabolic innovation and connections to respiratory and photosynthetic quinone metabolism. Plants producing 1,4-naphthoquinones have evolved strategies to deploy and resist the effects of these compounds, with emerging themes in herbicide resistance providing insight into mechanisms plants use to tolerate them.

Antioxidant and Signaling Role of Plastid-Derived Isoprenoid Quinones and Chromanols

Beatrycze Nowicka et al.

Summary: Plant prenyllipids, especially isoprenoid chromanols and quinols, act as efficient antioxidants protecting membranes and storage lipids from oxidative stress. Plants are vulnerable to oxidative damage due to oxygenic photosynthesis generating ROS and the photosynthetic electron transfer chain as a source of ROS. Plastidic antioxidants play a crucial role in preventing oxidative stress under various stress factors, while also contributing to physiological processes through redox signaling.

Oxidative stress limits growth of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Chlorophyta, Chlamydomonadales) exposed to copper ions at the early stage of culture growth

Beatrycze Nowicka et al.

Summary: Copper is essential for the growth of photosynthetic organisms, but can be highly toxic at high concentrations. This study investigated the antioxidant response of a green microalga exposed to high copper concentrations, finding that enhanced oxidative stress occurred in the early stages of growth.
