Abstract
Aiming for sustainable crop productivity under changing climate conditions, it is essential to develop handy models for in-situ monitoring of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, this work reports a simple electrochemical sensing toward hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for tracking crop growth status sensitized with electron-migration nanostructure. To be specific, Cu-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high HOMO energy level are designed for H2O2 reduction on account of Cu(I)/Cu(II) redox switchability. Importantly, the sensing performance is improved by electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (GO) with ready to use feature. To overcome the shortcomings of traditional liquid electrolytes, conductive hydrogel as semi-solid electrolyte exhibits the adhesive property to the cut plant petiole surface. Benefitting from the preferred composite models and conductive hydrogel, the electrochemical sensing toward H2O2 with high sensitivity and good anti-interference against the coexistent molecules, well qualified for acquiring plant growth status.

Guo S, Wei X, Ma B, Ma Y, Yu Z, Li P. Foliar application of strigolactones improves the desiccation tolerance, grain yield and water use efficiency in dryland wheat through modulation of non-hydraulic root signals and antioxidant defense. STRESS BIOLOGY 2023; 3:54. [PMID: 38055155 DOI: 10.1007/s44154-023-00127-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
Non-hydraulic root signals (nHRS) are affirmed as a unique positive response to soil drying, and play a crucial role in regulating water use efficiency and yield formation in dryland wheat production. Strigolactones (SLs) can enhance plant drought adaptability. However, the question of whether strigolactones enhance grain yield and water use efficiency by regulating nHRS and antioxidant defense systems in dryland wheat remains unanswered. In this study, pot experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of strigolactones on nHRS, antioxidant defense system, and grain yield and water use efficiency in dryland wheat. The results showed that external application of SLs increased drought-induced abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation and activated an earlier trigger of nHRS at 73.4% field capacity (FC), compared to 68.5% FC in the control group (CK). This phenomenon was mechanically associated with the physiological mediation of SLs. The application of SLs significantly enhanced the activities of leaf antioxidant enzymes, reduced ROS production, and mitigated oxidative damage to lipid membrane. Additionally, root biomass, root length density, and root to shoot ratio were increased under strigolactone treatment. Furthermore, exogenous application of SLs significantly increased grain yield by 34.9% under moderate drought stress. Water use efficiency was also increased by 21.5% and 33.3% under moderate and severe drought conditions respectively, compared to the control group (CK). The results suggested that the application of strigolactones triggered earlier drought-sensing mechanism and improved the antioxidant defense ability, thus enhancing grain yield and water use efficiency in dryland wheat production.

Abstract
Engineering the activity of enzyme-like catalysts should be a top priority to make them superior substitutes for natural enzymes. Herein, a Ce/Zr bimetal-organic framework (Ce/Zr-MOF) was designed and synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal method, which has enhanced performance in mimicking peroxidase (POD) than its single-metal counterparts. To further comprehend the mechanism of activity enhancement, the role of the bimetallic synergistic catalysis process in H2O2 decomposition and reactive oxygen species formation was elucidated, and the possible dual cycle synergistic catalysis pathway of bimetallic catalysis is proposed for the first time. The enhanced POD-like activity mainly depends on the introduction of Ce, which improved the conductivity and electron-transfer capability of Ce/Zr-MOF and promoted the generation of •OH. Integrated with a hydrogel substrate, a wearable all-solid-state H2O2 sensor for early diagnosis of plant health was produced. The detection limit can be as low as 3.3 μM, which is lower than that of some instrument-based colorimetric methods and has great potential in the development of visualized sensing applications. The concept of dual cycle synergistic catalysis pathway we proposed not only deepens the comprehension regarding sensing and catalytic mechanisms but also provides novel perspectives into the design of enzyme-like catalysts for extensive usage.
