Summary: Theanine, a non-proteinogenic amino acid abundant in tea plants, gives tea infusion its unique taste and anti-stress effects. The content of theanine in tea is closely correlated with its quality. However, the regulation of theanine decrease in late spring is still unknown. Through genetic screening, a yeast mutant, gdh2, was found to be hypersensitive to theanine and accumulated more of it, indicating a potential role of CsGDH2.1 in theanine accumulation in tea plants. CsGDH2.1 was found to be expressed in the mitochondria and highly expressed in young tissues of tea plants. CsGDH2.1 was also observed to regulate theanine accumulation in new shoots in late spring through glutamate catabolism.

Summary: This study investigated the responses of tea plant roots to nitrogen deprivation and resupply using metabolome and RNA-seq analysis. It was found that nitrogen deficiency affected the levels of amino acids, polyphenols, and caffeine, and these levels showed varying degrees of recovery after nitrogen recovery. Additionally, the pathways related to flavonoids were relatively active under nitrogen stress. Important genes and transcription factors involved in nitrogen stress responses were identified. This research provides insights into the molecular mechanism of nitrogen regulation in tea roots and can be used as a genetic reference for improving nitrogen use efficiency in tea plants.

Summary: In this study, a comprehensive identification and analysis of GSTs in tea plant were conducted, and their important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses were revealed. The study found that CsGSTs were unevenly distributed across the tea plant genome and tandem duplication was the main driving force for their expansion. Furthermore, CsGSTs were found to respond to multiple stresses and exhibit different expression patterns in different tissues. CsGSTU19, localized in the nucleus and cell membrane, was proven to be involved in tea plant defense against temperature stresses and Co. camelliae infection.

Summary: A SYBR Green real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) method was developed to detect four virus segments of Tea plant necrotic ring blotch virus (TPNRBV). The study found that mature leaves contained the highest viral load, while the concentrations of the virus in other tissues decreased with increasing distances from symptomatic leaves. TPNRBV did not efficiently spread through seeds, cuttings, or mechanical inoculation, but was transmitted to some tea cultivars under field conditions.

Summary: Cold stress is a significant environmental factor that negatively affects tea plant growth and productivity. The application of exogenous ascorbic acid improves the cold tolerance of tea plants by reducing lipid peroxidation and enhancing photosynthetic efficiency. Transcriptome analysis reveals that ascorbic acid treatment modulates the expression of cell wall remodeling-related genes. These findings suggest that ascorbic acid maintains ROS homeostasis by down-regulating the ROS-scavenging system and exerts protective effects through cell wall remodeling. Ascorbic acid can be used as a potential approach to enhance the cold tolerance of tea plants without pesticide residual concerns.

Summary: This study investigated the allocation to growth, reproduction, and defence in maritime pine under different resource availability and simulated herbivory treatments. The results showed that fertilization increased tree growth and seed quantity but not seed quality. Needle clipping and methyl-jasmonate treatment increased needle resin and phenol concentrations. Overall, there were complex interactions among the life-history dimensions, suggesting that pairwise approaches are insufficient to unravel these complexities.

Summary: The xanthophyll cycle plays a significant role in protecting plants from membrane peroxidation induced by intense light exposure. This study identified 240 differentially expressed genes associated with respiratory chain, lipid metabolism, antioxidant activity, and flavonoid metabolism. The overexpression of the CmBCH1 gene resulted in the upregulation of genes involved in scavenging reactive oxygen species and encoding antioxidants, leading to the accumulation of xanthophyll, zeaxanthin, chlorophylls, and anthocyanins. The study highlighted the potential of BCH1 in regulating the xanthophyll cycle and enhancing tolerance to intense light stress in transgenic plants.

Summary: This study demonstrated that co-expressing two exogenous genes, tfdB and bphC, in Arabidopsis thaliana improved the tolerance and removal efficiency of PCB28. Transgenic plants also exhibited increased enzymatic activities under PCB28 stress. The co-expression of tfdB and bphC in A. thaliana resulted in nearly twofold increase in PCB28 removal rates from soil. This research suggests that co-expressing two genes holds great potential for enhancing phytoremediation efficiency and mitigating PCB-induced toxicity stress on plants.

Summary: Trichomes are specialized plant structures that protect plants and are regulated by complex gene networks and signaling pathways. Gene expression, cell cycle regulation, and differentiation determine whether cells become trichomes. Transcription factors, epigenetic modifications, and phytohormones play important roles in trichome development.

Summary: In eukaryotic cells, epigenetic modifications of DNA and histones play a crucial role in gene expression regulation. ROXY19, a plant-specific CC-type glutaredoxin, was found to strongly repress a subset of genes regulated by class II TGA factors through its association with the TPL/TPR family. The ectopic expression of ROXY19 in Arabidopsis plants led to hypersensitivity to xenobiotic chemicals due to the silencing of detoxification pathway genes.

Summary: This study identified and characterized 163 C2H2-type zinc finger proteins in non-heading Chinese cabbage. Two of these proteins, BcZAT12 and BcZAT10, were found to be closely related to cold tolerance and acted as transcriptional repressors in regulating cold resistance. Furthermore, BcZAT12 was shown to directly bind to the promoter of BcCBF1 and inhibit its activity. Additionally, interactions between BcZAT12 and other proteins such as BcABF2/4 were observed. These findings provide insights into the functional roles and regulatory mechanisms of C2H2-ZFPs in non-heading Chinese cabbage under cold stress.

Summary: Soil salinization is a major obstacle for agriculture sustainability, as it severely affects plant growth and crop yield. Ethylene, a stress hormone, plays a crucial role as a signal molecule in coordinating plant growth and stress response in the model plant Arabidopsis. However, the roles and mechanisms of ethylene in most crop plants under salinity remain undefined. This review summarizes the universal roles of ethylene and focuses on its divergent roles in rice and other crop species under salinity, particularly in terms of ethylene biosynthesis and signal transduction. The contradictions between ethylene production and signaling in salt response are also discussed.
