Summary: This study reveals the mechanism of airborne defense (AD) against aphids and viruses. The volatile compound MeSA is perceived by neighboring plants and converted into salicylic acid, which activates a signaling cascade to induce plant anti-aphid immunity and reduce virus transmission. Aphid-transmitted viruses encode proteins that suppress AD, making plants less repellent to aphids and more suitable for aphid survival, infestation, and viral transmission.

Summary: The study found that silicon accumulation in plants can alleviate both biotic and abiotic stresses, particularly insect herbivory. It is suggested that silicon accumulation may be induced through activation of the jasmonic acid pathway. Additionally, the research demonstrated that increased silicon accumulation affects plant phytohormones and carbon-based defences, with this relationship also being influenced by herbivory.

Summary: The study shows that inactive methyl carbons can act as nucleophiles, attacking cationic centers and aiding in the synthesis of cyclopropane rings in certain triterpene backbones. Unconventional chemical processes were used to synthesize compounds with bridgehead cyclopropane or an 11-membered bicyclic structure within a triterpene skeleton. The proposed alpha-fluorocarbocation mechanism was supported by density functional theory calculations.

Summary: We screened the optimal concentration of MeJA treatment in peaches and found that MeJA treatment can alleviate chilling injury by activating alpha-linolenic acid metabolism and JA signaling pathway.

Summary: Polyamine metabolism in plants is controlled by multiple genes which are differentially regulated under different physiological conditions. Our study in Arabidopsis thaliana revealed that most genes in polyamine metabolism are not responsive to exogenous polyamines, but there is a difference in response to polyamines between Arabidopsis and rice, as shown by the induction of OsPAO6 gene. These results provide a framework for further study of regulatory modules controlling the expression of each polyamine metabolic gene.

Summary: Seed dispersal plays a crucial role in the survival of short-lived seeds of Aquilaria sinensis in tropical southwest China. Vespa hornets attract most seeds by consuming elaiosomes and depositing them in damp shade, facilitating germination 166 meters away from the parent tree. Rapid seed dispersal is achieved through the release of volatile compounds that attract hornets and serve as an indirect defense mechanism for the species.

Summary: In this study, nanoparticles of methyl jasmonate (Ap-MeJ) were applied to Monastrell grapevines to investigate their effect on amino acids content. The results showed that season and watering regime had significant impacts on the amino acids content. However, the foliar treatments had little impact on grape enological parameters and amino acids concentration. Further research is needed to optimize the dose of application.

Summary: The study found that MeJA can reduce LT stress in Solanum lycopersicum plants. The J2 concentration of MeJA can significantly alleviate the adverse consequences of LT stress. Therefore, supplying the optimal concentration of MeJA exogenously to LT stressed Solanum lycopersicum can be a smart strategy to mitigate the harmful impact of LT stress.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in polar metabolites during leaf senescence in Ginkgo biloba. The results showed that the application of methyl jasmonate significantly enhanced primary metabolism during senescence, while reducing the content of sugars.

Summary: The study investigated the corrosion inhibition effect of amino acid-based ionic liquid on mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed that the inhibition efficiency increased with higher inhibitor concentration and temperature, with water-repelling properties and protective capabilities. The electronic properties of the IL were explored through density functional theory, highlighting sites susceptible to electron sharing, and molecular dynamics simulation supported the spontaneous interaction of the inhibitor onto the steel surface.

Summary: This study identified GhWRKY33 as a negative regulator in plant defense against V. dahliae. It functions through the JA-mediated signaling pathway and interacts with GhJAZ3. Overexpression of GhWRKY33 and GhJAZ3 decreases plant tolerance to V. dahliae.

Summary: This study investigates the possible mode of action of methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) in inducing the formation of secondary abscission zone in the stems of Bryophyllum calycinum. The results show that JA-Me affects the endogenous levels of auxin and jasmonate-related compounds, leading to the formation of the abscission zone.

Summary: GH3 genes are important in the plant kingdom, encoding proteins that play crucial roles in plant development and response to stress factors. In addition to their enzymatic functions, GH3 proteins can interact with other proteins to regulate light and stress signaling pathways.
