Summary: Maize defense against root-herbivores evolved from induced defenses to constitutive defenses through domestication, spread, and breeding processes. Changes in phytohormone levels were observed, with a shift towards higher tolerance-related phytohormones. These evolutionary changes coincided with cultivation in increasingly resource-rich environments.

Summary: Maize, a major crop in Africa, is threatened by the parasitic witchweed Striga. Researchers have discovered two new strigolactones, zealactol and zealactonoic acid, which have weaker germination-inducing effects on Striga compared to the major strigolactone, zealactone. They also identified a key enzyme, ZmCYP706C37, in the maize strigolactone biosynthetic pathway, and reducing its activity, along with two others, can change strigolactone composition and reduce Striga germination and infection.

Summary: The study revealed that many transporters and transcription factors were upregulated in maize vivipary mutants, playing important roles in seed germination. Genes related to abscisic acid and gibberellin biosynthesis and signaling showed a uniform expression pattern. Metabolomics analysis identified unique metabolites, pathways, and gene networks affected by each individual mutation.

Summary: The study found that after FB1 treatment, Gpx1/Cat KO mice had higher levels of TBARS and Sa in serum, but lower levels of ALT, So-1-P, and Sa-1-P; while Sa was elevated in both Gpx1/Cat KO mice and wild type mice, lower levels of So and Sa were observed in kidney and liver tissues of Gpx1/Cat KO mice. Paradoxically, FB1-induced cellular apoptosis and necrosis were accelerated in Gpx1/Cat KO mice under oxidative stress.

Summary: This study reveals that the SA methyl esterase MES7 regulates seed germination by altering SA content under normal and abiotic stress conditions. MES7 expression decreases significantly in imbibed seeds, and dysfunction of MES7 leads to decreased SA content. Furthermore, MES7 shows both inhibitory and stimulatory effects on seed germination under normal and salt stress conditions, respectively. The application of SA can restore the seed germination deficiencies of mes7 mutants under different conditions.

Summary: Maize is a salt-sensitive plant that experiences stunted growth under salt stress. Salicylic acid and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) play important roles in inducing salinity tolerance and promoting plant growth. Combined application of PGPR and salicylic acid can effectively alleviate the negative effects of salt stress on maize and improve its growth.

Summary: The study found that exogenous SA can effectively alleviate the inhibitory effect of Zn2+ stress on sunflower seed germination, promote the biosynthesis of endogenous SA and GA, increase the expression of zinc transporter-related genes family (MTP and HMA), leading to decreased Zn2+ accumulation. Exogenous SA also increased GA content and decreased ABA content by regulating the gene expressions of metabolic related enzymes. Conversely, AIP treatment further aggravated the inhibitory effect of Zn2+ stress on sunflower seed germination.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of salicylic acid (SA) on the germination of alfalfa seeds. The results show that the effect is dependent on the concentration, cultivar, and soaking time. SA enhances seed germination by improving seed vigor, reducing lipid peroxidation, and enhancing antioxidant levels. The optimal conditions for seed soaking are determined to be 0.77 mM SA and 25.5 hours soaking time.

Summary: Salinity reduces agricultural productivity by inhibiting seed germination. Exogenous salicylic acid (SA) can improve the germination of rice seeds under salt stress. This study investigated the effects of exogenous SA on ion balance, reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, hormone homeostasis, starch hydrolysis, and other physiological processes involved in seed germination under salt stress. The results showed that exogenous SA could alleviate ion toxicity, maintain ROS and hormone homeostasis, promote starch hydrolysis, and ultimately improve rice seed germination under salt stress.

Summary: ZmERS4, a gene encoding a protein similar to the ethylene receptor isolated from maize, plays an important role in disease resistance by improving resistance against pathogens in Arabidopsis through SA-mediated signaling pathways. Its expression is tissue-specific in maize, predominantly in the stems and leaves, and is induced by salicylic acid.

Summary: Fusarium kuroshium is a fungal symbiont associated with the ambrosia beetle Euwallacea kuroshio, producing metabolites with phytotoxic properties that contribute to the development of Fusarium dieback (FD) disease. Understanding the pathogenicity of F. kuroshium can potentially lead to the development of diagnostic and management tools for FD, providing insights into the interaction of F. kuroshium with its host plants.
