Abstract
14-3-3 proteins play vital roles in plant defense against various pathogen invasions. To date, how 14-3-3 affects virus infections in plants remains largely unclear. In this study, we found that Nicotiana benthamiana 14-3-3h interacts with TRANSLATIONALLY CONTROLLED TUMOR PROTEIN (TCTP), a susceptibility factor of potato virus Y (PVY). Silencing of Nb14-3-3h facilitates PVY accumulation, whereas overexpression of Nb14-3-3h inhibits PVY replication. The antiviral activities of 3 Nb14-3-3h dimerization defective mutants are significantly decreased, indicating that dimerization of Nb14-3-3h is indispensable for restricting PVY infection. Our results also showed that the mutant Nb14-3-3hE16A, which is capable of dimerizing but not interacting with NbTCTP, has reduced anti-PVY activity; the mutant NbTCTPI65A, which is unable to interact with Nb14-3-3h, facilitates PVY replication compared with the wild-type NbTCTP, indicating that dimeric Nb14-3-3h restricts PVY infection by interacting with NbTCTP and preventing its proviral function. As a counter-defense, PVY 6K1 interferes with the interaction between Nb14-3-3h and NbTCTP by competitively binding to Nb14-3-3h and rescues NbTCTP to promote PVY infection. Our results provide insights into the arms race between plants and potyviruses.

Abstract
Environmental stresses severely affect plant growth and crop productivity. Regulated by 14-3-3 proteins (14-3-3s), H+-ATPases (AHAs) are important proton pumps that can induce diverse secondary transport via channels and co-transporters for the abiotic stress response of plants. Many studies demonstrated the roles of 14-3-3s and AHAs in coordinating the processes of plant growth, phytohormone signaling, and stress responses. However, the molecular evolution of 14-3-3s and AHAs has not been summarized in parallel with evolutionary insights across multiple plant species. Here, we comprehensively review the roles of 14-3-3s and AHAs in cell signaling to enhance plant responses to diverse environmental stresses. We analyzed the molecular evolution of key proteins and functional domains that are associated with 14-3-3s and AHAs in plant growth and hormone signaling. The results revealed evolution, duplication, contraction, and expansion of 14-3-3s and AHAs in green plants. We also discussed the stress-specific expression of those 14-3-3and AHA genes in a eudicotyledon (Arabidopsis thaliana), a monocotyledon (Hordeum vulgare), and a moss (Physcomitrium patens) under abiotic stresses. We propose that 14-3-3s and AHAs respond to abiotic stresses through many important targets and signaling components of phytohormones, which could be promising to improve plant tolerance to single or multiple environmental stresses.

Abstract
Improving wheat drought resistance is of great significance for grain production and food security. Hexokinases (HXKs) play a role in sugar signal transduction and are involved in abiotic stress responses in wheat. To clarify the relationship between HXKs and drought stress in wheat, we used the rice active oxygen induction gene OsHXK1 as a reference sequence and the homologously cloned wheat TaHXK7-1A gene. TaHXK7-1A was localized in the nucleus and cell membrane. Under drought stress, over-expression of TaHXK7-1A increased the contents of O2·- and malondialdehyde (MDA) and significantly up-regulated the respiratory burst oxidative homologue (RBOHs) genes in transgenic Arabidopsis. In addition, the over-expression of TaHXK7-1A inhibited the growth of Arabidopsis seedlings and increased ROS accumulation under 6 % exogenous glucose treatment. Gene silencing of TaHXK7-1 decreased the contents of O2·- and MDA in wheat leaves under drought stress, and the RBOHs was significantly down-regulated, which improved the drought resistance of wheat. The results of yeast one-hybrid, EMSA, and dual-luciferase assays showed that TabHLH148-5A bound to the E-box motif of the TaHXK7-1A promoter and inhibited the expression of TaHXK7-1A. In addition, yeast two-hybrid and luciferase complementation imaging assays showed that TaHXK7-1A interacted with TaGRF3-4A. These results indicate that the glucose sensor TaHXK7-1A was negatively regulated by TabHLH148-5A, interacted with TaGRF3-4A, and negatively regulated wheat drought resistance by regulating RBOHs expression and inducing ROS production, thus providing a theoretical basis for revealing the molecular mechanism of wheat drought resistance.

Abstract
BdGF14a, a 14-3-3 gene from Brachypodium distachyon, induced by salt, H2O2, and abscisic acid (ABA), improved tolerance to drought and salt in tobacco, with a higher survival rate and longer roots under these stresses. Additionally, physiological index analyses showed that the heterologous expression of BdGF14a induced higher expression levels of antioxidant enzymes and their activities, leading to lighter DAB and NBT staining, denoting decreased H2O2 content. Additionally, the lower MDA content and ion leakage indicated enhanced cell membrane stability. Moreover, exogenous ABA resulted in shorter roots and a lower stomatal aperture in BdGF14a transgenic plants. BdGF14a interacted with NtABF2 and regulated the expression of stress-related genes. However, adding an ABA biosynthesis inhibitor suppressed most of these changes. Furthermore, similar salt and drought resistance phenotypes and physiological indicators were characterized in tobacco plants expressing BdbZIP62, an ABRE/ABF that interacts with BdGF14a. And Y1H and LUC assays showed that BdGF14a could enhance the transcription regulation activity of NtABF2 and BdbZIP62, targeting NtNECD1 by binding to the ABRE cis-element. Thus, BdGF14a confers resistance to drought and salinity through interaction with BdbZIP62 and enhances its transcriptional regulation activity via an ABA-mediated signaling pathway. Therefore, this work offers novel target genes for breeding salt- and drought-tolerant plants.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a cancerogenic metalloid ubiquitously distributed in the environment, which can be easily accumulated in food crops like rice. Jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivatives play critical roles in plant growth and stress response. However, the role of endogenous JA in As accumulation and detoxification is still poorly understood. In this study, we found that JA biosynthesis enzymes Allene Oxide Synthases, OsAOS1 and OsAOS2, regulate As accumulation and As tolerance in rice. Evolutionary bioinformatic analysis indicated that AOS1 and AOS2 have evolved from streptophyte algae (e.g. the basal lineage Klebsormidium flaccidum) - sister clade of land plants. Compared to other two AOSs, OsAOS1 and OsAOS2 were highly expressed in all examined rice tissues and their transcripts were highly induced by As in root and shoot. Loss-of-function of OsAOS1 (osaos1-1) showed elevated As concentration in grains, which was likely attributed to the increased As translocation from root to shoot when the plants were subjected to arsenate [As(V)] but not arsenite [As (III)]. However, the mutation of OsAOS2 (osaos2-1) showed no such effect. Moreover, osaos1-1 and osaos2-1 increased the sensitivity of rice plants to both As(V) and As(III). Disrupted expression of genes involved in As accumulation and detoxification, such as OsPT4, OsNIP3;2, and OsOASTL-A1, was observed in both osaos1-1 and osaos2-1 mutant lines. In addition, a As(V)-induced significant decrease in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production was observed in the root of osaos1-1 but not in osaos2-1. Taken together, our results indicate OsAOS1 modulates both As allocation and detoxification, which could be partially attributed to the altered gene expression profiling and ROS homeostasis in rice while OsAOS2 is important for As tolerance.

Abstract
Since their discovery nearly five decades ago, molecular scaffolds belonging to the 14-3-3 protein family have been recognized as pleiotropic regulators of diverse cellular and physiological functions. With their ability to bind to proteins harboring specific serine and threonine phosphorylation motifs, 14-3-3 proteins can interact with and influence the function of docking proteins, enzymes, transcription factors, and transporters that have essential roles in metabolism and glucose homeostasis. Here, we will discuss the regulatory functions of 14-3-3 proteins that will be of great interest to the fields of metabolism, pancreatic β-cell biology, and diabetes. We first describe how 14-3-3 proteins play a central role in glucose and lipid homeostasis by modulating key pathways of glucose uptake, glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, and adipogenesis. This is followed by a discussion of the contributions of 14-3-3 proteins to calcium-dependent exocytosis and how this relates to insulin secretion from β-cells. As 14-3-3 proteins are major modulators of apoptosis and cell cycle progression, we will explore if 14-3-3 proteins represent a viable target for promoting β-cell regeneration and discuss the feasibility of targeting 14-3-3 proteins to treat metabolic diseases such as diabetes. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS 14-3-3 proteins are ubiquitously expressed scaffolds with multiple roles in glucose homeostasis and metabolism. 14-3-3ζ regulates adipogenesis via distinct mechanisms and is required for postnatal adiposity and adipocyte function. 14-3-3ζ controls glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells by regulating mitochondrial function and ATP synthesis as well as facilitating cross talk between β-cells and α-cells.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE The 14-3-3 family is more highly conserved among monocotyledons, and overexpression of MdGRF13 improved drought and salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana. The 14-3-3 are highly conserved regulatory proteins found in eukaryotes and play an essential role in plant growth, development and stress response. However, the 14-3-3 gene family evolution in monocotyledons and dicotyledons and the biological functions of the MdGRF13 under abiotic stress remain unknown. In our study, 195 members of the 14-3-3 family were identified from 12 species and divided into ε group and the Non-ε group. Synteny analysis within the 14-3-3 family indicated that segmental duplication events contributed to the expansion of the family. Selective pressure analysis indicated that purifying selection was a vital force in the 14-3-3 genes evolution, and monocotyledons had a lower million years ago (Mya) mean values than dicotyledons. Meanwhile, the codon adaptation index (CAI) and frequency of optical codons (FOP) are higher and the effective number of codons (Nc) is lower in monocotyledons 14-3-3 genes compared to dicotyledons. Moreover, the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) demonstrated that MdGRF13 interacts with MdRD22, MdLHP1a and MdMORF1. Significantly, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and relative conductivity were decreased, while the superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) activities were increased in transgenic Arabidopsis compared to the wild type (WT) under drought and salt stress. These results suggest that overexpression of MdGRF13 significantly improved the tolerance to drought and salt stress in transgenic Arabidopsis. Thus, our results provide a theoretical basis for exploring the evolution and function of the 14-3-3 gene family in monocotyledons and dicotyledons.

Abstract
The recent advances in plant biology have significantly improved our understanding of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as signaling molecules in the redox regulation of complex cellular processes. In plants, free radicals and non-radicals are prevalent intra- and inter-cellular ROS, catalyzing complex metabolic processes such as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis homeostasis is maintained by thiol-based systems and antioxidative enzymes, which belong to some of the evolutionarily conserved protein families. The molecular and biological functions of redox regulation in photosynthesis are usually to balance the electron transport chain, photosystem II, photosystem I, mesophyll and bundle sheath signaling, and photo-protection regulating plant growth and productivity. Here, we review the recent progress of ROS signaling in photosynthesis. We present a comprehensive comparative bioinformatic analysis of redox regulation in evolutionary distinct photosynthetic cells. Gene expression, phylogenies, sequence alignments, and 3D protein structures in representative algal and plant species revealed conserved key features including functional domains catalyzing oxidation and reduction reactions. We then discuss the antioxidant-related ROS signaling and important pathways for achieving homeostasis of photosynthesis. Finally, we highlight the importance of plant responses to stress cues and genetic manipulation of disturbed redox status for balanced and enhanced photosynthetic efficiency and plant productivity.

Abstract
Increasing global food production is threatened by harsh environmental conditions along with biotic stresses, requiring massive new research into integrated stress resistance in plants. Stomata play a pivotal role in response to many biotic and abiotic stresses, but their orchestrated interactions at the molecular, physiological, and biochemical levels were less investigated. Here, we reviewed the influence of drought, pathogen, and insect herbivory on stomata to provide a comprehensive overview in the context of stomatal regulation. We also summarized the molecular mechanisms of stomatal response triggered by these stresses. To further investigate the effect of stomata-herbivore interaction at a transcriptional level, integrated transcriptome studies from different plant species attacked by different pests revealed evidence of the crosstalk between abiotic and biotic stress. Comprehensive understanding of the involvement of stomata in some plant-herbivore interactions may be an essential step towards herbivores' manipulation of plants, which provides insights for the development of integrated pest management strategies. Moreover, we proposed that stomata can function as important modulators of plant response to stress combination, representing an exciting frontier of plant science with a broad and precise view of plant biotic interactions.
