Abstract
Dendrobium officinale is edible and has medicinal and ornamental functions. Polysaccharides and flavonoids, including anthocyanins, are important components of D. officinale that largely determine the nutritional quality and consumer appeal. There is a need to study the molecular mechanisms regulating anthocyanin and polysaccharide biosynthesis to enhance D. officinale quality and its market value. Here, we report that high light (HL) induced the accumulation of polysaccharides, particularly mannose, as well as anthocyanin accumulation, resulting in red stems. Metabolome and transcriptome analyses revealed that most of the flavonoids showed large changes in abundance, and flavonoid and polysaccharide biosynthesis was significantly activated under HL treatment. Interestingly, DoHY5 expression was also highly induced. Biochemical analyses demonstrated that DoHY5 directly binds to the promoters of DoF3H1 (involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis), DoGMPP2, and DoPMT28 (involved in polysaccharide biosynthesis) to activate their expression, thereby promoting anthocyanin and polysaccharide accumulation in D. officinale stems. DoHY5 silencing decreased flavonoid- and polysaccharide-related gene expression and reduced anthocyanin and polysaccharide accumulation, whereas DoHY5 overexpression had the opposite effects. Notably, naturally occurring red-stemmed D. officinale plants similarly have high levels of anthocyanin and polysaccharide accumulation and biosynthesis gene expression. Our results reveal a previously undiscovered role of DoHY5 in co-regulating anthocyanin and polysaccharide biosynthesis under HL conditions, improving our understanding of the mechanisms regulating stem color and determining nutritional quality in D. officinale. Collectively, our results propose a robust and simple strategy for significantly increasing anthocyanin and polysaccharide levels and subsequently improving the nutritional quality of D. officinale.

Abstract
Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) is an important photoprotective mechanism that quickly dissipates excess light energy as heat. NPQ can be induced in a few seconds to several hours; most studies of this process have focused on the rapid induction of NPQ. Recently, a new, slowly induced form of NPQ, called qH, was found during the discovery of the quenching inhibitor suppressor of quenching 1 (SOQ1). However, the specific mechanism of qH remains unclear. Here, we found that hypersensitive to high light 1 (HHL1)-a damage repair factor of photosystem II-interacts with SOQ1. The enhanced NPQ phenotype of the hhl1 mutant is similar to that of the soq1 mutant, which is not related to energy-dependent quenching or other known NPQ components. Furthermore, the hhl1 soq1 double mutant showed higher NPQ than the single mutants, but its pigment content and composition were similar to those of the wildtype. Overexpressing HHL1 decreased NPQ in hhl1 to below wildtype levels, whereas NPQ in hhl1 plants overexpressing SOQ1 was lower than that in hhl1 but higher than that in the wildtype. Moreover, we found that HHL1 promotes the SOQ1-mediated inhibition of plastidial lipoprotein through its von Willebrand factor type A domain. We propose that HHL1 and SOQ1 synergistically regulate NPQ.

Abstract
The coordination of chloroplast and nuclear genome status is critical for plant cell function. Here, we report that Arabidopsis CHLOROPLAST AND NUCLEUS DUAL-LOCALIZED PROTEIN 1 (CND1) maintains genome stability in the chloroplast and the nucleus. CND1 localizes to both compartments, and complete loss of CND1 results in embryo lethality. Partial loss of CND1 disturbs nuclear cell-cycle progression and photosynthetic activity. CND1 binds to nuclear pre-replication complexes and DNA replication origins and regulates nuclear genome stability. In chloroplasts, CND1 interacts with and facilitates binding of the regulator of chloroplast genome stability WHY1 to chloroplast DNA. The defects in nuclear cell-cycle progression and photosynthesis of cnd1 mutants are respectively rescued by compartment-restricted CND1 localization. Light promotes the association of CND1 with HSP90 and its import into chloroplasts. This study provides a paradigm of the convergence of genome status across organelles to coordinately regulate cell cycle to control plant growth and development.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of mRNAs affects many biological processes. However, the function of m6A in plant photosynthesis remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that m6A modification is crucial for photosynthesis during photodamage caused by high light stress in plants. The m6A modification levels of numerous photosynthesis-related transcripts are changed after high light stress. We determine that the Arabidopsis m6A writer VIRILIZER (VIR) positively regulates photosynthesis, as its genetic inactivation drastically lowers photosynthetic activity and photosystem protein abundance under high light conditions. The m6A levels of numerous photosynthesis-related transcripts decrease in vir mutants, extensively reducing their transcript and translation levels, as revealed by multi-omics analyses. We demonstrate that VIR associates with the transcripts of genes encoding proteins with functions related to photoprotection (such as HHL1, MPH1, and STN8) and their regulatory proteins (such as regulators of transcript stability and translation), promoting their m6A modification and maintaining their stability and translation efficiency. This study thus reveals an important mechanism for m6A-dependent maintenance of photosynthetic efficiency in plants under high light stress conditions.

Abstract
Photosynthesis involves a series of redox reactions and is the major source of reactive oxygen species in plant cells. Fluctuating light (FL) levels, which occur commonly in natural environments, affect photosynthesis; however, little is known about the specific effects of FL on the redox regulation of photosynthesis. Here, we performed global quantitative mapping of the Arabidopsis thaliana cysteine thiol redox proteome under constant light and FL conditions. We identified 8857 redox-switched thiols in 4350 proteins, and 1501 proteins that are differentially modified depending on light conditions. Notably, proteins related to photosynthesis, especially photosystem I (PSI), are operational thiol-switching hotspots. Exposure of wild-type A. thaliana to FL resulted in decreased PSI abundance, stability, and activity. Interestingly, in response to PSI photodamage, more of the PSI assembly factor PSA3 dynamically switches to the reduced state. Furthermore, the Cys199 and Cys200 sites in PSA3 are necessary for its full function. Moreover, thioredoxin m (Trx m) proteins play roles in redox switching of PSA3, and are required for PSI activity and photosynthesis. This study thus reveals a mechanism for redox-based regulation of PSI under FL, and provides insight into the dynamic acclimation of photosynthesis in a changing environment.

Abstract
The proteolytic degradation of the photodamaged D1 core subunit during the photosystem II (PSII) repair cycle is well understood, but chlorophyll turnover during D1 degradation remains unclear. Here, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana CHLOROPHYLLASE 1 (CLH1) plays important roles in the PSII repair process. The abundance of CLH1 and CLH2 peaks in young leaves and is induced by high-light exposure. Seedlings of clh1 single and clh1-1/2-2 double mutants display increased photoinhibition after long-term high-light exposure, whereas seedlings overexpressing CLH1 have enhanced light tolerance compared with the wild type. CLH1 is localized in the developing chloroplasts of young leaves and associates with the PSII-dismantling complexes RCC1 and RC47, with a preference for the latter upon exposure to high light. Furthermore, degradation of damaged D1 protein is retarded in young clh1-1/2-2 leaves after 18-h high-light exposure but is rescued by the addition of recombinant CLH1 in vitro. Moreover, overexpression of CLH1 in a variegated mutant (var2-2) that lacks thylakoid protease FtsH2, with which CLH1 interacts, suppresses the variegation and restores D1 degradation. A var2-2 clh1-1/2-2 triple mutant shows more severe variegation and seedling death. Taken together, these results establish CLH1 as a long-sought chlorophyll dephytylation enzyme that is involved in PSII repair and functions in long-term adaptation of young leaves to high-light exposure by facilitating FtsH-mediated D1 degradation.

Abstract
Plastid-nucleus genome coordination is crucial for plastid activity, but the mechanisms remain unclear. By treating Arabidopsis plants with the organellar genome-damaging agent ciprofloxacin, we found that plastid genome instability can alter endoreplication and the cell cycle. Similar results are observed in the plastid genome instability mutants of reca1why1why3. Cell division and embryo development are disturbed in the reca1why1why3 mutant. Notably, SMR5 and SMR7 genes, which encode cell-cycle kinase inhibitors, are upregulated in plastid genome instability plants, and the mutation of SMR7 can restore the endoreplication and growth phenotype of reca1why1why3 plants. Furthermore, we establish that the DNA damage response transcription factor SOG1 mediates the alteration of endoreplication and cell cycle triggered by plastid genome instability. Finally, we demonstrate that reactive oxygen species produced in plastids are important for plastid-nucleus genome coordination. Our findings uncover a molecular mechanism for the coordination of plastid and nuclear genomes during plant growth and development.

Abstract
Light is a key environmental cue regulating photomorphogenesis and photosynthesis in plants. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between light signaling pathways and photosystem function are unknown. Here, we show that various monochromatic wavelengths of light cooperate to regulate PSII function in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The photoreceptors cryptochromes and phytochromes modulate the expression of HIGH CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE173 (HCF173), which is required for PSII biogenesis by regulating PSII core protein D1 synthesis mediated by the transcription factor ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5). HY5 directly binds to the ACGT-containing element ACE motif and G-box cis-element present in the HCF173 promoter and regulates its activity. PSII activity was decreased significantly in hy5 mutants under various monochromatic wavelengths of light. Interestingly, we demonstrate that HY5 also directly regulates the expression of the genes associated with PSII assembly and repair, including ALBINO3, HCF136, HYPERSENSITIVE TO HIGH LIGHT1, etc., which is required for the functional maintenance of PSII under photodamaging conditions. Moreover, deficiency of HY5 broadly decreases the accumulation of other photosystem proteins besides PSII proteins. Thus, our study reveals an important role of light signaling in both biogenesis and functional regulation of the photosystem and provides insight into the link between light signaling and photosynthesis in land plants.

Abstract
Chloroplast development is an essential process for plant growth that is regulated by numerous proteins. Plastid-encoded plastid RNA polymerase (PEP) is a large complex that regulates plastid gene transcription and chloroplast development. However, many proteins in this complex remain to be identified. Here, through large-scale screening of Arabidopsis mutants by Chl fluorescence imaging, we identified a novel protein, DELAYED GREENING 238 (DG238), which is involved in regulating chloroplast development and plastid gene expression. Loss of DG238 retards plant growth, delays young leaf greening, affects chloroplast development and lowers photosynthetic efficiency. Moreover, blue-native PAGE (BN-PAGE) and Western blot analysis indicated that PSII and PSI protein levels are reduced in dg238 mutants. DG238 is mainly expressed in young tissues and is regulated by light signals. Subcellular localization analysis showed that DG238 is a nuclear-encoded chloroplast nucleoid protein. More interestingly, DG238 was co-expressed with FLN1, which encodes an essential subunit of the PEP complex. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays showed that DG238 can also interact with FLN1. Taken together, these results suggest that DG238 may function as a component of the PEP complex that is important for the early stage of chloroplast development and helps regulate PEP-dependent plastid gene expression.

Abstract
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an acute, febrile zoonotic disease that is caused by the RVF virus (RVFV) and spread by arthropod vectors. RVF is currently prevalent in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and causes substantial economic losses. Furthermore, this disease poses a serious threat to animal and human health in regions worldwide, making it a serious public health concern. However, RVFV vaccines for human use are still unavailable, and hence there is an urgent need for novel efficient vaccines against RVFV. Vaccine preparation techniques have become a crucial factor in developing new vaccines. In the current study, the N and G protein genes of RVFV were inserted into the pFastBacDual baculovirus expression vector downstream of the pP10 and pPH promoters. The resultant recombinant vector, pFastBacDual-S-M, was transfected into Sf9 insect cells by lipofection. The recombinant baculovirus, named rBac-N-G, was retrieved and infected into Sf9 insect cells to generate RVFV virus-like particles (VLPs). Using polyclonal antibodies against RVFV proteins in immunofluorescence and western blot analyses, we positively identified the presence of the RVFV proteins in VLP preparations. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the morphology of the RVFV VLPs was consistent with previous reports of RVFV virions. This study describes a technique for efficient production of RVFV VLPs, and has laid the foundation for future VLP-based RVFV vaccines.

Abstract
Obesity is major risk factor for many disorders, including diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of therapeutic agents available to clinicians for the treatment of obesity. The principal aim of this study was to investigate whether PEGylated all-trans retinoic acid (PRA) can have favorable stability and biological activity in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes as an antiobesity drug. Here, we found that PRA inhibits the process of adipogenesis, including survival of adipocytes and differentiation to mature adipocytes. The results showed that RA nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by PEGylation; below 200 nm, PRA-NPs were obtained. Moreover, PRA decreased glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes by acting with major adipocyte marker proteins such as PPARgamma2, C/EBPalpha and aP2 modulators. Apoptosis, in addition, increased as the level of RA increased from 10 to 20 microM, whereas PRA reduced apoptosis with increasing concentrations. Our data suggest that PRA-NP has potential as an antiobesity drug carrier due to its small particle size and PEGylated core-shell structure. In addition, our results suggest that PRA inhibits the process of adipogenesis and may be developed to treat obesity. Based on these results, PRA is suitable for adipocyte studies, and an enhanced effect of PRA with adipocyte differentiation offers a challenging approach for pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Time expression of SJA tissue receptors surrounding wounded skin of 40 rats was studied by affinity histochemical method. The results were compared to that by EGFR immunohistochemical method and c-myc situ hydridization method. It was observed that SJA receptors began to decrease after the skin was injured and reached the lowest quantities in 15 minutes. After that, they began to increase and reached the highest quantities in 2 hours. It needs to be further studied whether there is the correlation between SJA receptors and EGFR has the function of repairing wounded skin.

Abstract
The separation of carotenoids and retinoids on a beta-cyclodextrin-bonded stationary phase with conventional mobile phases is reported. Compounds studied include beta-carotene (all-trans), 15,15'-cis-beta-carotene, 7,8,7',8'-dihydro-beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, retinal, retinol, retinol palmitate and retinol acetate. The best resolution of carotenes was obtained with low concentrations (less than or equal to 1%) of polar solvents (e.g., 2-propanol or ethyl acetate) in hexane or cyclohexane. Xanthophylls required much higher concentrations of polar solvents. The best solvent for the resolution of lutein and zeaxanthin was found to be dichloromethane. The resolution of cis/trans-isomers and the tentative identification of other isomers present in newly synthesized carotenoid standards is also reported. All-trans-isomers were found to be eluted before cis-isomers.

Abstract
Many active drugs are racemic mixtures. Because the two enantiomers of a racemate often cause different pharmacological responses, the use of optically pure isomers is desirable and may be soon required. Cyclodextrin-bonded silica gel can be used as chiral stationary phase (CSP) in liquid chromatography. The enantiomers of 25 different racemic drugs were separated on such CSPs in the reversed-phase mode. The principal features of the cyclodextrin chiral recognition mechanism are recalled and some information on future trends for cyclodextrin CSPs is provided.

Abstract
Both alpha- and beta-cyclodextrin (CD) bonded phase columns were evaluated for their ability to separate carbohydrates and related molecules. Chromatographic data on approximately 50 solutes are reported. Mobile phases consisting of acetonitrile-water or acetone-water produce the best separations. Separations could be run in isocratic or gradient modes. The alpha-CD column produced slightly more efficient separations than the beta-CD column. Both cyclodextrin columns seemed to be more efficient and selective than alkylamine and ion-exchange columns. The stability and reproducibility of the CD columns were excellent and showed little deterioration after several thousand injections. The retention of saccharides on CD bonded phases seems to be related to the number of available hydroxy groups per solute and to the size of the solute. Analysis times and detection sensitivity are discussed.

Abstract
A brief review of sugar stereochemistry is given. The separation of 34 different pairs of anomers was accomplished on both alpha- and beta-cyclodextrin columns. Five different mobile phases were evaluated. The separation of anomers could be enhanced or suppressed by altering the mobile-phase composition, column temperature, flow rate, and so on. The separation of anomers that mutarotate is somewhat more difficult than those that do not. Prior knowledge as to the rate of mutarotation is useful so that the chromatographic conditions can be arranged to minimize any deleterious effects on the separation.

Abstract
Optical enrichment from racemic dansyl-leucine, dansyl-norleucine, and dansyl-phenylalanine with both beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins in water is reported. Initial crystallization yielded the dansyl-L-Leucine isomer complexed in excess with beta-cyclodextrin with an optical purity of 62-78% depending on experimental conditions. The optical purities obtained for L-norleucine and L-phenylalanine were 71 and 64%, respectively. The optical purity can be increased with continued recrystallization. The dansyl-D-leucine isomer was obtained in the mother liquor with an optical purity of 54-93% depending on experimental conditions. The optical purities obtained for D-norleucine and D-phenylalanine were 72 and 58%. The optical purity of the isomer depended on the molar ratio of host:guest and the pH value of the solution. Optimum enrichment of both enantiomers was achieved with host:guest ratios of 2:1 and 3:1. Although maximum crystalline yield of the dansyl-leucine/CD inclusion complex was obtained at a pH of 3.5, optical purity of both enantiomers was less than that obtained at other pHs. The influence of the molar ratio of host:guest and the pH value of the solution are discussed. This method is suitable for large-scale enantiomeric separations.
