[PMID: 38500982 PMCID: PMC10945127 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) remains a significant global health threat, with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) standing out as a particularly aggressive subtype lacking targeted therapies. Addressing this gap, we propose Quiescin Q6 sulfhydryl oxidase 2 (QSOX2) as a potential therapeutic target, a disulfide bond-forming enzyme implicated in cancer progression. Using publicly available datasets, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of QSOX2 expression in BC tumor and non-tumor tissues, assessing its specificity across different molecular subtypes. We further explored correlations between QSOX2 expression and patient outcomes, utilizing datasets like TCGA and METABRIC. In addition, we performed in vitro experiments to evaluate QSOX2 expression in BC cell lines and investigate the effects of QSOX2 knockdown on various TNBC cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis resistance, migration, and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Our results reveal significantly elevated QSOX2 expression in BC tumor tissues, particularly in TNBC, and establish an association between high QSOX2 expression and increased patient mortality, cancer progression, and recurrence across various BC subtypes. Notably, QSOX2 knockdown in TNBC cell lines reduces cell proliferation, enhances apoptosis, and suppresses migration, potentially mediated through its influence on the EMT process. Furthermore, we identify a significant link between QSOX2 and integrin β1 (ITGB1), suggesting that QSOX2 enhances ITGB1 stability, subsequently exacerbating the malignancy of TNBC. In conclusion, elevated QSOX2 expression emerges as a key factor associated with adverse patient outcomes in BC, particularly in TNBC, contributing to disease progression through various mechanisms, including the modulation of ITGB1 stability. Our findings underscore the potential of targeting QSOX2 as a therapeutic strategy for improving patient prognoses not only in TNBC but also in other BC subtypes.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in plant development and stress responses, acting as key components in rapid signalling pathways. The 'ROS wave' triggers essential acclimation processes, ultimately ensuring plant survival under diverse challenges. This review explores recent advances in understanding the composition and functionality of the ROS wave within plant cells. During their initiation and propagation, ROS waves interact with other rapid signalling pathways, hormones and various molecular compounds. Recent research sheds light on the intriguing lack of a rigid hierarchy governing these interactions, highlighting a complex interplay between diverse signals. Notably, ROS waves culminate in systemic acclimation, a crucial outcome for enhanced stress tolerance. This review emphasizes the versatility of ROS, which act as flexible players within a network of short- and long-term factors contributing to plant stress resilience. Unveiling the intricacies of these interactions between ROS and various signalling molecules holds immense potential for developing strategies to augment plant stress tolerance, contributing to improved agricultural practices and overall ecosystem well-being.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1374194.

Abstract
Arabidopsis thaliana Mitogen-activated protein Kinase Phosphatase 1 (MKP1) negatively balances production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggered by Microbe-Associated Molecular Patterns (MAMPs) through uncharacterized mechanisms. Accordingly, ROS production is enhanced in mkp1 mutant after MAMP treatment. Moreover, mkp1 plants show a constitutive activation of immune responses and enhanced disease resistance to pathogens with distinct colonization styles, like the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000, the oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis Noco2 and the necrotrophic fungus Plectosphaerella cucumerina BMM. The molecular basis of this ROS production and broad-spectrum disease resistance controlled by MKP1 have not been determined. Here, we show that the enhanced ROS production in mkp1 is not due to a direct interaction of MKP1 with the NADPH oxidase RBOHD, nor is it the result of the catalytic activity of MKP1 on RBHOD phosphorylation sites targeted by BOTRYTIS INDUCED KINASE 1 (BIK1) protein, a positive regulator of RBOHD-dependent ROS production. The analysis of bik1 mkp1 double mutant phenotypes suggested that MKP1 and BIK1 targets are different. Additionally, we showed that phosphorylation residues stabilizing MKP1 are essential for its functionality in immunity. To further decipher the molecular basis of disease resistance responses controlled by MKP1, we generated combinatory lines of mkp1-1 with plants impaired in defensive pathways required for disease resistance to pathogen: cyp79B2 cyp79B3 double mutant defective in synthesis of tryptophan-derived metabolites, NahG transgenic plant that does not accumulate salicylic acid, aba1-6 mutant impaired in abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis, and abi1 abi2 hab1 triple mutant impaired in proteins described as ROS sensors and that is hypersensitive to ABA. The analysis of these lines revealed that the enhanced resistance displayed by mkp1-1 is altered in distinct mutant combinations: mkp1-1 cyp79B2 cyp79B3 fully blocked mkp1-1 resistance to P. cucumerina, whereas mkp1-1 NahG displays partial susceptibility to H. arabidopsidis, and mkp1-1 NahG, mkp1-1 aba1-6 and mkp1-1 cyp79B2 cyp79B3 showed compromised resistance to P. syringae. These results suggest that MKP1 is a component of immune responses that does not directly interact with RBOHD but rather regulates the status of distinct defensive pathways required for disease resistance to pathogens with different lifestyles.

Abstract
Plants often encounter stress in their environment. For appropriate responses to particular stressors, cells rely on sensory mechanisms that detect emerging stress. Considering sensor and signal amplification characteristics, a single sensor system hardly covers the entire stress range encountered by plants (e.g., salinity, drought, temperature stress). A dual system comprising stress-specific sensors and a general quantitative stress sensory system is proposed to enable the plant to optimize its response. The quantitative stress sensory system exploits the redox and reactive oxygen species (ROS) network by altering the oxidation and reduction rates of individual redox-active molecules under stress impact. The proposed mechanism of quantitative stress sensing also fits the requirement of dealing with multifactorial stress conditions.

Abstract
The industrial application and environmental release of nickel oxide NPs (NiO NPs) is increasing, but the details of their relationship with plants are largely unknown. In this work, the cellular, tissue, organ, and molecular level responses of three ecotypes of Ni hyperaccumulator Odontarrhena lesbiaca grown in the presence of high doses of NiO NP (250 mg/L and 500 mg/L) were studied. All three ecotypes showed a similar accumulation of Ni in the presence of nano Ni, and in the case of NiO NPs, the root-to-shoot Ni translocation was slighter compared to the bulk Ni. In all three ecotypes, the walls of the root cells effectively prevented internalization of NiO NPs, providing cellular defense against Ni overload. Exposure to NiO NP led to an increase in cortex thickness and the deposition of lignin-suberin and pectin in roots, serving as a tissue-level defense mechanism against excessive Ni. Exposure to NiO NP did not modify or cause a reduction in some biomass parameters of the Ampeliko and Loutra ecotypes, while it increased all parameters in Olympos. The free salt form of Ni exerted more negative effects on biomass production than the nanoform, and the observed effects of NiO NPs can be attributed to the release of Ni ions. Nitric oxide and peroxynitrite levels were modified by NiO NPs in an ecotype-dependent manner. The changes in the abundance and activity of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase protein triggered by NiO NPs suggest that the enzyme is regulated by NiO NPs at the post-translational level. The NiO NPs slightly intensified protein tyrosine nitration, and the slight differences between the ecotypes were correlated with their biomass production in the presence of NiO NPs. Overall, the Odontarrhena lesbiaca ecotypes exhibited tolerance to NiO NPs at the cellular, tissue, organ/organism and molecular levels, demonstrating various defense mechanisms and changes in the metabolism of reactive nitrogen species metabolism and nitrosative protein modification.

Abstract
The Arabidopsis quiescin sulfhydryl oxidase 1 (QSOX1) thiol-based redox sensor has been identified as a negative regulator of plant immunity. Here, we have found that small molecular weight proteins of QSOX1 were converted to high molecular weight (HMW) complexes upon exposure to heat stress and that this was accompanied by a switch in QSOX1 function from a thiol-reductase to a molecular chaperone. Plant treatment with S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), which causes nitrosylation of cysteine residues (S-nitrosylation), but not with H2O2, induced HMW QSOX1 complexes. Thus, functional switching of QSOX1 is induced by GSNO treatment. Accordingly, simultaneous treatment of plants with heat shock and GSNO led to a significant increase in QSOX1 chaperone activity by increasing its oligomerization. Consequently, transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing QSOX1 (QSOX1OE) showed strong resistance to heat shock, whereas qsox1 knockout plants exhibited high sensitivity to heat stress. Plant treatment with GSNO under heat stress conditions increased their resistance to heat shock. We conclude that S-nitrosylation allows the thiol-based redox sensor, QSOX1, to respond to various external stresses in multiple ways.

Abstract
In plants, reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as a multifunctional signaling molecules that modulate diverse stress and growth responses. Earlier studies on ROS in plants primarily focused on its toxicity and ROS-scavenging processes, but recent findings are offering new insights on its role in signal perception and transduction. Further, the interaction of cell wall receptors, calcium channels, HATPase, protein kinases, and hormones with NADPH oxidases (respiratory burst oxidase homologues (RBOHs), provides concrete evidence that ROS regulates major signaling cascades in different cellular compartments related to stress and growth responses. However, at the molecular level there are many knowledge gaps regarding how these players influence ROS signaling and how ROS regulate them during growth and stress events. Furthermore, little is known about how plant sensors or receptors detect ROS under various environmental stresses and induce subsequent signaling cascades. In light of this, we provided an update on the role of ROS signaling in plant growth and stress biology. First, we focused on ROS signaling, its production and regulation by cell wall receptor like kinases. Next, we discussed the interplay between ROS, calcium and hormones, which forms a major signaling trio regulatory network of signal perception and transduction. We also provided an overview on ROS and nitric oxide (NO) crosstalk. Furthermore, we emphasized the function of ROS signaling in biotic, abiotic and mechanical stresses, as well as in plant growth and development. Finally, we conclude by highlighting challenges and future perspectives of ROS signaling in plants that warrants future investigation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling has an important role in plant innate immune responses and is primarily mediated by NADPH oxidase, also known as respiratory burst oxidase homologs (RBOHs) in plants. NADPH serves as a fuel for RBOHs and limits the rate or amount of ROS production. Molecular regulation of RBOHs has been extensively studied; however, the source of NADPH for RBOHs has received little attention. Here, we review ROS signaling and the regulation of RBOHs in the plant immune system with a focus on NADPH regulation to achieve ROS homeostasis. We propose an idea to regulate the levels of NADPH as part of a new strategy to control ROS signaling and the corresponding downstream defense responses.

Abstract
Duplication events occur very frequently during plant evolution. The genes in the duplicated pathway or network can evolve new functions through neofunctionalization and subfunctionalization. Flavonoids are secondary metabolites involved in plant development and defense. Our previous transcriptomic analysis of F6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and the parent lines after Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) infection showed that CHI genes have important functions in cotton. However, there are few reports on the possible neofunctionalization differences of CHI family paralogous genes involved in Fusarium wilt resistance in cotton. In this study, the resistance to Fusarium wilt, expression of metabolic pathway-related genes, metabolite content, endogenous hormone content, reactive oxygen species (ROS) content and subcellular localization of four paralogous CHI family genes in cotton were investigated. The results show that the four paralogous CHI family genes may play a synergistic role in Fusarium wilt resistance. These results revealed a genetic channelization mechanism that can regulate the metabolic flux homeostasis of flavonoids under the mediation of endogenous salicylic acid (SA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) via the four paralogous CHI genes, thereby achieving disease resistance. Our study provides a theoretical basis for studying the evolutionary patterns of homologous plant genes and using homologous genes for molecular breeding.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important regulating factors that play a dual role in plant and human cells. As the first messenger response in organisms, ROS coordinate signals in growth, development, and metabolic activity pathways. They also can act as an alarm mechanism, triggering cellular responses to harmful stimuli. However, excess ROS cause oxidative stress-related damage and oxidize organic substances, leading to cellular malfunctions. This review summarizes the current research status and mechanisms of ROS in plant and human eukaryotic cells, highlighting the differences and similarities between the two and elucidating their interactions with other reactive substances and ROS. Based on the similar regulatory and metabolic ROS pathways in the two kingdoms, this review proposes future developments that can provide opportunities to develop novel strategies for treating human diseases or creating greater agricultural value.

Abstract
β-Carbonic anhydrase (βCA) is very important for plant growth and development, but its function in immunity has also been examined. In this study, we found that the expression level of Solanum lycopersicum βCA1 (SlβCA1) was significantly upregulated in plants treated with Xanthomonas euvesicatoria 85-10. The protein was localized in the nucleus, cell membrane and chloroplast. Using tomato plants silenced with SlβCA1, we demonstrated that SlβCA1 plays an active role in plant disease resistance. Moreover, we found that the elicitor PopW upregulated the expression of SlβCA1, while the microbe-associated molecular pattern response induced by PopW was inhibited in TRV-SlβCA1. The interaction between PopW and SlβCA1 was confirmed. Here, we found that SlβCA1 was positively regulated during PopW-induced resistance to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria 85-10. These data indicate the importance of SlβCA1 in plant basic immunity and its recognition by the Harpin protein PopW as a new target for elicitor recognition.

Abstract
Soybean brown rust (SBR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is a devastating fungal disease that threatens global soybean production. This study conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with seven models on a panel of 3,082 soybean accessions to identify the markers associated with SBR resistance by 30,314 high quality single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs). Then five genomic selection (GS) models, including Ridge regression best linear unbiased predictor (rrBLUP), Genomic best linear unbiased predictor (gBLUP), Bayesian least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Bayesian LASSO), Random Forest (RF), and Support vector machines (SVM), were used to predict breeding values of SBR resistance using whole genome SNP sets and GWAS-based marker sets. Four SNPs, namely Gm18_57,223,391 (LOD = 2.69), Gm16_29,491,946 (LOD = 3.86), Gm06_45,035,185 (LOD = 4.74), and Gm18_51,994,200 (LOD = 3.60), were located near the reported P. pachyrhizi R genes, Rpp1, Rpp2, Rpp3, and Rpp4, respectively. Other significant SNPs, including Gm02_7,235,181 (LOD = 7.91), Gm02_7234594 (LOD = 7.61), Gm03_38,913,029 (LOD = 6.85), Gm04_46,003,059 (LOD = 6.03), Gm09_1,951,644 (LOD = 10.07), Gm10_39,142,024 (LOD = 7.12), Gm12_28,136,735 (LOD = 7.03), Gm13_16,350,701(LOD = 5.63), Gm14_6,185,611 (LOD = 5.51), and Gm19_44,734,953 (LOD = 6.02), were associated with abundant disease resistance genes, such as Glyma.02G084100, Glyma.03G175300, Glyma.04g189500, Glyma.09G023800, Glyma.12G160400, Glyma.13G064500, Glyma.14g073300, and Glyma.19G190200. The annotations of these genes included but not limited to: LRR class gene, cytochrome 450, cell wall structure, RCC1, NAC, ABC transporter, F-box domain, etc. The GWAS based markers showed more accuracies in genomic prediction than the whole genome SNPs, and Bayesian LASSO model was the ideal model in SBR resistance prediction with 44.5% ~ 60.4% accuracies. This study aids breeders in predicting selection accuracy of complex traits such as disease resistance and can shorten the soybean breeding cycle by the identified markers.

Abstract
The adjustment of cellular redox homeostasis is essential in when responding to environmental perturbations, and the mechanism by which cells distinguish between normal and oxidized states through sensors is also important. In this study, we found that acyl-protein thioesterase 1 (APT1) is a redox sensor. Under normal physiological conditions, APT1 exists as a monomer through S-glutathionylation at C20, C22 and C37, which inhibits its enzymatic activity. Under oxidative conditions, APT1 senses the oxidative signal and is tetramerized, which makes it functional. Tetrameric APT1 depalmitoylates S-acetylated NAC (NACsa), and NACsa relocates to the nucleus, increases the cellular glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio through the upregulation of glyoxalase I expression, and resists oxidative stress. When oxidative stress is alleviated, APT1 is found in monomeric form. Here, we describe a mechanism through which APT1 mediates a fine-tuned and balanced intracellular redox system in plant defence responses to biotic and abiotic stresses and provide insights into the design of stress-resistant crops.

Abstract
Reactive electrophilic species are ubiquitous in plant cells, where they contribute to specific redox-regulated signaling events. Redox signaling is known to modulate gene expression during diverse biological processes, including plant growth, development, and environmental stress responses. Emerging data demonstrates that transcription factors (TFs) are a main target of cysteine thiol-based oxidative post-translational modifications (OxiPTMs), which can alter their transcriptional activity and thereby convey redox information to the nucleus. Here, we review the significant progress that has been made in characterizing cysteine thiol-based OxiPTMs, their biochemical properties, and their functional effects on plant TFs. We discuss the underlying mechanism of redox regulation and its contribution to various physiological processes as well as still outstanding challenges in redox regulation of plant gene expression.

Abstract
Following pathogen recognition, plant cells produce a nitrosative burst resulting in a striking increase in nitric oxide (NO), altering the redox state of the cell, which subsequently helps orchestrate a plethora of immune responses. NO is a potent redox cue, efficiently relayed between proteins through its co-valent attachment to highly specific, powerfully reactive protein cysteine (Cys) thiols, resulting in formation of protein S-nitrosothiols (SNOs). This process, known as S-nitrosylation, can modulate the function of target proteins, enabling responsiveness to cellular redox changes. Key targets of S-nitrosylation control the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the transcription of immune-response genes, the triggering of the hypersensitive response (HR) and the establishment of systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Here, we bring together recent advances in the control of plant immunity by S-nitrosylation, furthering our appreciation of how changes in cellular redox status reprogramme plant immune function.

Abstract
As an important cash crop in China, apple has a good flavor and is rich in nutrients. Fungal attacks have become a major obstacle in apple cultivation. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is one of the most devastating fungal pathogens in apple. Thus, discovering resistance genes in response to C. gloeosporioides may aid in designing safer control strategies and facilitate the development of apple resistance breeding. A previous study reported that 'Hanfu' autotetraploid apple displayed higher C. gloeosporioides resistance than 'Hanfu' apple, and the expression level of mdm-MIR390b was significantly upregulated in autotetraploid plants compared to that in 'Hanfu' plants, as demonstrated by digital gene expression (DGE) analysis. It is still unclear, however, whether mdm-MIR390b regulates apple anthracnose resistance. Apple MIR390b was transformed into apple 'GL-3' plants to identify the functions of mdm-MIR390b in anthracnose resistance. C. gloeosporioides treatment analysis indicated that the overexpression of mdm-MIR390b reduced fungal damage to apple leaves and fruit. Physiology analysis showed that mdm-MIR390b increased C. gloeosporioides resistance by improving superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activity to alleviate the damage caused by O2- and H2O2. Our results demonstrate that mdm-MIR390b can improve apple plants' anthracnose resistance.

Abstract
Stress results in the enhanced accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants, altering the redox state of cells and triggering the activation of multiple defense and acclimation mechanisms. In addition to activating ROS and redox responses in tissues that are directly subjected to stress (termed 'local' tissues), the sensing of stress in plants triggers different systemic signals that travel to other parts of the plant (termed 'systemic' tissues) and activate acclimation and defense mechanisms in them; even before they are subjected to stress. Among the different systemic signals triggered by stress in plants are electric, calcium, ROS, and redox waves that are mobilized in a cell-to-cell fashion from local to systemic tissues over long distances, sometimes at speeds of up to several millimeters per second. Here, we discuss new studies that identified various molecular mechanisms and proteins involved in mediating systemic signals in plants. In addition, we highlight recent studies that are beginning to unravel the mode of integration and hierarchy of the different systemic signals and underline open questions that require further attention. Unraveling the role of ROS and redox in plant stress responses is highly important for the development of climate resilient crops.

The thiol-reductase activity of YUCCA6 enhances nickel heavy metal stress tolerance in Arabidopsis. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1007542.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities cause the leaching of heavy metals into groundwater and their accumulation in soil. Excess levels of heavy metals cause toxicity in plants, inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and possible death caused by the resulting oxidative stress. Heavy metal stresses repress auxin biosynthesis and transport, inhibiting plant growth. Here, we investigated whether nickel (Ni) heavy metal toxicity is reduced by exogenous auxin application and whether Ni stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana is mediated by the bifunctional enzyme YUCCA6 (YUC6), which functions as an auxin biosynthetic enzyme and a thiol-reductase (TR). We found that an application of up to 1 µM exogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) reduces Ni stress toxicity. yuc6-1D, a dominant mutant of YUC6 with high auxin levels, was more tolerant of Ni stress than wild-type (WT) plants, despite absorbing significantly more Ni. Treatments of WT plants with YUCASIN, a specific inhibitor of YUC-mediated auxin biosynthesis, increased Ni toxicity; however yuc6-1D was not affected by YUCASIN and remained tolerant of Ni stress. This suggests that rather than the elevated IAA levels in yuc6-1D, the TR activity of YUC6 might be critical for Ni stress tolerance. The loss of TR activity in YUC6 caused by the point-mutation of Cys85 abolished the YUC6-mediated Ni stress tolerance. We also found that the Ni stress-induced ROS accumulation was inhibited in yuc6-1D plants, which consequently also showed reduced oxidative damage. An enzymatic assay and transcriptional analysis revealed that the peroxidase activity and transcription of PEROXIREDOXIN Q were enhanced by Ni stress to a greater level in yuc6-1D than in the WT. These findings imply that despite the need to maintain endogenous IAA levels for basal Ni stress tolerance, the TR activity of YUC6, not the elevated IAA levels, plays the predominant role inNi stress tolerance by lowering Ni-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen, superoxide (O2●- ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) are the markers of living cells. Oxygenic photosynthesis produces ROS in abundance, which act as a readout of a functional electron transport system and metabolism. The concept that photosynthetic ROS production is a major driving force in chloroplast to nucleus retrograde signalling is embedded in the literature, as is the role of chloroplasts as environmental sensors. The different complexes and components of the photosynthetic electron transport chain (PETC) regulate O2●- production in relation to light energy availability and the redox state of the stromal Cys-based redox systems. All of the ROS generated in chloroplasts have the potential to act as signals and there are many sulphhydryl-containing proteins and peptides in chloroplasts that have the potential to act as H2 O2 sensors and function in signal transduction. While ROS may directly move out of the chloroplasts to other cellular compartments, ROS signalling pathways can only be triggered if appropriate ROS-sensing proteins are present at or near the site of ROS production. Chloroplast antioxidant systems serve either to propagate these signals or to remove excess ROS that cannot effectively be harnessed in signalling. The key challenge is to understand how regulated ROS delivery from the PETC to the Cys-based redox machinery is organised to transmit redox signals from the environment to the nucleus. Redox changes associated with stromal carbohydrate metabolism also play a key role in chloroplast signalling pathways.

Abstract
Plant cell walls are highly dynamic and chemically complex structures surrounding all plant cells. They provide structural support, protection from both abiotic and biotic stress as well as ensure containment of turgor. Recently evidence has accumulated that a dedicated mechanism exists in plants, which is monitoring the functional integrity of cell walls and initiates adaptive responses to maintain integrity in case it is impaired during growth, development or exposure to biotic and abiotic stress. The available evidence indicates that detection of impairment involves mechano-perception, while reactive oxygen species and phytohormone-based signaling processes play key roles in translating signals generated and regulating adaptive responses. More recently it has also become obvious that the mechanisms mediating cell wall integrity maintenance and pattern triggered immunity are interacting with each other to modulate the adaptive responses to biotic stress and cell wall integrity impairment. Here we will review initially our current knowledge regarding the mode of action of the maintenance mechanism, discuss mechanisms mediating responses to biotic stresses and highlight how both mechanisms may modulate adaptive responses. This first part will be focused on Arabidopsis thaliana since most of the relevant knowledge derives from this model organism. We will then proceed to provide perspective to what extent the relevant molecular mechanisms are conserved in other plant species and close by discussing current knowledge of the transcriptional machinery responsible for controlling the adaptive responses using selected examples.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key signalling molecules that enable cells to rapidly respond to different stimuli. In plants, ROS play a crucial role in abiotic and biotic stress sensing, integration of different environmental signals and activation of stress-response networks, thus contributing to the establishment of defence mechanisms and plant resilience. Recent advances in the study of ROS signalling in plants include the identification of ROS receptors and key regulatory hubs that connect ROS signalling with other important stress-response signal transduction pathways and hormones, as well as new roles for ROS in organelle-to-organelle and cell-to-cell signalling. Our understanding of how ROS are regulated in cells by balancing production, scavenging and transport has also increased. In this Review, we discuss these promising developments and how they might be used to increase plant resilience to environmental stress.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:862649.

Abstract
S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is considered as a critical regulator of plant stress tolerance for its impacts on protein S-nitrosylation through regulation of the S-nitrosothiol (SNO) level. However, the mechanism of GSNOR-mediated stress tolerance is still obscure. Here, we found that GSNOR activity was induced by high temperature in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants, whereas mRNA level of SlGSNOR1 exhibited little response. Suppressing SlGSNOR1 expression by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) increased accumulation of SNO and nitrites under high temperature and reduced thermotolerance. The compromised thermotolerance was associated with less accumulation of abscisic acid (ABA) and salicylic acid (SA), attenuated activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and reduced expression of heat shock protein. Intriguingly, SlGSNOR1 silencing impaired upregulation of RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOG1 (SlRBOH1) and apoplastic H2O2 accumulation in response to high temperature, whereas SlRBOH1 silencing abolished activation of GSNOR and led to a similar decline in thermotolerance as in SlGSNOR1-silenced plants. Importantly, H2O2 treatment recovered the thermotolerance and improved antioxidant capacity in SlGSNOR1-silenced plants. Our results suggest that GSNOR plays a role in regulating the SlRBOH1-dependent apoplastic H2O2 production in response to high temperature, while a balanced interaction between SNO and H2O2 is critical for maintaining the cellular redox homeostasis and thermotolerance.

THE NEW PHYTOLOGIST 2022; 233:1067-1073.

Abstract
C-repeat binding factors (CBFs) are key cold-responsive transcription factors that play pleiotropic roles in the cold acclimation, growth, and development of plants. Cold-sensitive cbf knockout mutants and cold-tolerant CBF overexpression lines exhibit abnormal phenotypes at warm temperatures, suggesting that CBF activity is precisely regulated, and a critical threshold level must be maintained for proper plant growth under normal conditions. Cold-inducible CBFs also exist in warm-climate plants but as inactive disulfide-bonded oligomers. However, upon translocation to the nucleus under a cold snap, the h2-isotype of cytosolic thioredoxin (Trx-h2), reduces the oxidized (inactive) CBF oligomers and the newly synthesized CBF monomers, thus producing reduced (active) CBF monomers. Thus, the redox-dependent structural switching and functional activation of CBFs protect plants under cold stress.

Demyristoylation of the Cytoplasmic Redox Protein Trx-h2 Is Critical for Inducing a Rapid Cold Stress Response in Plants. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10081287. [PMID: 34439534 PMCID: PMC8389195 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10081287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
In Arabidopsis, the cytosolic redox protein thioredoxin h2 (Trx-h2) is anchored to the cytoplasmic endomembrane through the myristoylated second glycine residue (Gly2). However, under cold stress, the cytosolic Trx-h2 is rapidly translocated to the nucleus, where it interacts with and reduces the cold-responsive C-repeat-binding factors (CBFs), thus activating cold-responsive (COR) genes. In this study, we investigated the significance of fatty acid modification of Trx-h2 under cold conditions by generating transgenic Arabidopsis lines in the trx-h2 mutant background, overexpressing Trx-h2 (Trx-h2OE/trx-h2) and its point mutation variant Trx-h2(G/A) [Trx-h2(G/A)OE/trx-h2], in which the Gly2 was replaced by alanine (Ala). Due to the lack of Gly2, Trx-h2(G/A) was incapable of myristoylation, and a part of Trx-h2(G/A) localized to the nucleus even under warm temperature. As no time is spent on the demyristoylation and subsequent nuclear translocation of Trx-h2(G/A) under a cold snap, the ability of Trx-h2(G/A) to protect plants from cold stress was greater than that of Trx-h2. Additionally, COR genes were up-regulated earlier in Trx-h2(G/A)2OE/trx-h2 plants than in Trx-h2OE/trx-h2 plants under cold stress. Consequently, Trx-h2(G/A)2OE/trx-h2 plants showed greater cold tolerance than Col-0 (wild type) and Trx-h2OE/trx-h2 plants. Overall, our results clearly demonstrate the significance of the demyristoylation of Trx-h2 in enhancing plant cold/freezing tolerance.
