Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Sardinia Virus Increases Drought Tolerance of Tomato

Camilla Sacco Botto et al.

Summary: Drought stress is a major factor affecting agricultural production by negatively impacting plant growth and metabolism. Previous research has shown that viruses, such as the tomato yellow leaf curl virus, can enhance a plant's ability to tolerate both drought and heat stress. However, the underlying mechanisms for this induced drought tolerance need further investigation.

The Potyviral Protein 6K2 from Turnip Mosaic Virus Increases Plant Resilience to Drought

Ved Prakash et al.

Summary: Virus infection can increase drought tolerance in plants, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we found that infection with turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) enhances the survival of Arabidopsis thaliana under drought conditions. By expressing each of the major viral proteins in transgenic A. thaliana, we identified three proteins, 6K1, 6K2, and NIa-Pro, that confer drought tolerance. Specifically, the expression of 6K2 leads to increased levels of salicylic acid (SA), which is associated with the induction of secondary metabolites, osmolytes, and antioxidants that enhance drought tolerance.

Physiology restores purpose to evolutionary biology

Raymond Noble et al.

Summary: This paragraph points out that life is a purposeful and creative process that adapts to change and maintains integrity. Physiology studies purposeful living function, which implies a purpose. However, modern physiology has gradually hidden these ideas in favor of gene-centrism in the development of molecular biology. This development needs to be reversed because identifying the functions of the whole system can more accurately predict the behavior of the entire system.

Wheat yield is not causally related to the duration of the growing season

Gustavo A. Slafer et al.

Summary: A common conceptual model for crop growth assumes that biomass is proportional to intercepted radiation and yield is the product of biomass and harvest index. However, this article challenges the assumption that biomass has the same value for yield across developmental stages. Instead, a phenology-focused model is proposed, suggesting that the critical period's duration, growth rate, and partitioning to reproduction drive wheat yield, rather than the duration of the growing season.

Interplay between abiotic (drought) and biotic (virus) stresses in tomato plants

Ritesh Mishra et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates an interplay between drought and tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) infection in tomato plants. Infected plants showed increased tolerance to drought by adjusting metabolic activity and reallocating osmolytes. The virus down-regulated stress response proteins and metabolites induced by drought, while promoting stabilization of osmoprotectants' patterns and water balance parameters in infected plants under prolonged stress. The decline of TYLCV amounts during drought was correlated with the activation of autophagy, mostly in the roots, controlled by HSFA1. This mutual interaction between plant host and viral pathogen highlights the complex responses of plants to combined drought and viral infection.

Phloem connectivity and transport are not involved in mature plant resistance (MPR) to Potato Virus Y in different potato cultivars, and MPR does not protect tubers from recombinant strains of the virus

Pankaj Kumar et al.

Summary: This study investigated the resistance of different potato cultivars at various developmental stages against four strains of Potato virus Y and how the phloem translocation of photoassimilates affects this resistance. The results showed that resistance was functional during the flowering stage in all cultivars and that the host-pathogen interaction is highly complex. Virus strain had the most significant impact on the outcome, with recombinant strains being more difficult to protect against. The development of resistance was not related to foliar phloem connectivity, but a switch in phloem unloading during tuber development may play a role in preventing tuber infections. The study also found that recombinant strains were more infectious and had more effective silencing suppressors. The resistance conferred by mature plant resistance may be associated with the presence of strain-specific HR resistance genes in the cultivar.

The impact of climate change on disease in wild plant populations and communities

Michael J. Jeger

Summary: Research on diseases in wild plant populations has been relatively neglected compared to managed plants, but plant ecologists have contributed to understanding how pathogens and other interactions affect population structure. The potential impacts of climate change on wild plant diseases are less appreciated, but long-term effects have been studied through observations and experiments by plant ecologists and soil microbiologists. The integration of different perspectives is crucial to address the future impacts of climate change on plant, environmental, and ecosystem health.

Water Deficit Improves Reproductive Fitness in Nicotiana benthamiana Plants Infected by Cucumber mosaic virus

Marina Moreno et al.

Summary: This study investigated the compensatory effects of virus infection on plant fitness under water deficit. The results showed that water deficit can improve drought tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana benthamiana infected with Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) or Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). However, the reproductive fitness of the plants did not improve following withdrawal of water, and only CMV improved the reproductive fitness of N. benthamiana plants when exposed to drought.

Plant-virus-abiotic stress interactions: A complex interplay

Ashish Prasad et al.

Summary: Under field conditions, plants face various detrimental stresses that impact crop productivity. Climate change and emergence of new pathogen strains worsen the situation. International trade facilitates resource sharing but also leads to the spread of viruses and pathogens. Paradigm shift in research methodology focuses on combined stress. This review discusses recent developments and strategies to tackle plant-virus-abiotic stress interactions.

Selection for yield over five decades favored anisohydric and phenological adaptations to early-season drought in Australian wheat

Faisal Khan et al.

Summary: Selection for yield and agronomic traits between 1958 and 2012 in Australian wheat has improved adaptation to early-season drought, leading to increased grain yield. Newer varieties displayed more efficient responses to drought stress, with shorter time to flowering, reduced leaf area, and maintained higher photosynthetic rates per unit leaf area compared to older varieties.

Evolutionary and ecological perspectives on the wheat phenotype

Victor O. Sadras

Summary: Technologies are advancing faster than theoretical development, creating a bottleneck for crop improvement. Theoretical insights on the wheat phenotype from the perspective of three evolutionary and ecologically important relations have been outlined, emphasizing the misinterpretation of the correlation between yield and grain number and the similarity between crops and fishes. The impact of stabilizing selection and mother-offspring conflict on crop improvement has been discussed.
