Widely targeted metabolomics analysis reveals the effect of exogenous auxin on postharvest resistance to Botrytis cinerea in kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis L.)

Zhe-Xin Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated the effects of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) treatment on postharvest kiwifruit and its resistance to Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) fungal infection. They found that exogenous IAA, especially at a concentration of 50 mu g/mL, enhanced the resistance of kiwifruit to B. cinerea and increased the activity of pathogen resistance-related defense enzymes. Metabolomic analysis showed significant differences in the metabolites of kiwifruit treated with IAA, and the activation of certain metabolic pathways, including phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, carbohydrate metabolism, and hormone signaling pathways, was closely associated with the resistance induced by IAA treatment.

Lina Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the possible molecular mechanisms behind the enhanced biological control efficacy of the yeast, M. guilliermondii, when cultured with MeJA. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that MeJA induced changes in oxidative stress response, energy metabolism, cell wall synthesis and stability, and cell growth in the yeast. Moreover, MeJA cultured M. guilliermondii enhanced the cell wall synthesis, antioxidant activity, disease resistance, and energy metabolism in apples. This study provides a theoretical basis for improving the biocontrol efficacy of antagonistic yeast cultured with MeJA.

Summary: In this study, (E)-2-hexenal was used as a natural alternative to artificial fumigants to prevent postharvest pathogenic infection of kiwifruit. The treatment with (E)-2-hexenal enhanced the resistance of kiwifruit to Botrytis cinerea infection by facilitating the signaling network and enabling the accumulation of secondary metabolites. Transcriptome-metabolome analyses showed upregulated expression of defense-related genes and increased biosynthesis of jasmonic acid and flavonoids.

Mushroom alcohol controls gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea in harvested fruit via activating the genes involved in jasmonic acid signaling pathway

Guangjin Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the control of postharvest gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea using mushroom alcohol. The results showed that mushroom alcohol vapor treatment effectively inhibited the mycelial growth of B. cinerea and reduced the disease severity on harvested fruit in a concentration-dependent manner. Mushroom alcohol also reduced the natural disease incidence of sweet cherry fruit without affecting fruit weight loss and chemical contents. The inhibitory effect of mushroom alcohol on gray mold was attributed to its regulation of spore germination and pathogenicity-related genes, as well as activation of the jasmonic acid signaling pathway.

Citral induces plant systemic acquired resistance against tobacco mosaic virus and plant fungal diseases

Yue Jiang et al.

Summary: Litsea cubeba essential oil (LCO) shows significant anti-TMV activity, with citral as the main active component exhibiting outstanding anti-TMV effect. Citral induces systemic acquired resistance (SAR) through overexpression of defense enzymes and PR proteins, as well as activation of salicylic acid (SA) pathway. It also induces plant resistance against fungal diseases, performing better than the commercial agent chitosan oligosaccharide. Therefore, citral has the potential to be developed as a new botanical-derived antivirus agent and plant immunity activator.

Summary: This study demonstrates that elevated hexokinase 2 (HK2) in microglia contributes to impaired phagocytosis in Alzheimer's disease (AD), leading to increased amyloid plaque burden and cognitive impairment. Inhibition or deletion of HK2 promotes microglial phagocytosis, reduces amyloid plaque burden, and attenuates cognitive impairment. The mechanism involves increased ATP production through upregulation of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and enhanced lipid metabolism.
