The biosynthesis and modification of cell wall composition and structure are controlled by hundreds of enzymes and have a direct consequence on plant growth and development. However, the majority of these enzymes has not been functionally characterised. Rice mutants with leaf‐rolling phenotypes were screened in a field. Phenotypic analysis under controlled conditions was performed for the selected mutant and the relevant gene was identified by map‐based cloning. Cell wall composition was analysed by glycome profiling assay. We identified a Taken together, PSL1 functions as a PG that modifies cell wall biosynthesis, plant development and drought tolerance in rice.
All aerial epidermal cells in land plants are covered by the cuticle, an extracellular hydrophobic layer that provides protection against abiotic and biotic stresses and prevents organ fusion during development. Genetic and morphological analysis of the classic maize We show that Our results identify a regulatory module of cuticle biosynthesis in maize that is conserved across monocots and eudicots, and highlight previously undescribed factors in lipid metabolism, transport and signaling that coordinate organ development and cuticle formation.

Summary photo‐sensitive leaf rolling 1 (psl1 ) mutant with ‘napping’ (midday depression of photosynthesis) phenotype and reduced growth. ThePSL1 gene encodes a cell wall‐localised polygalacturonase (PG), a pectin‐degrading enzyme.psl1 with a 260‐bp deletion in its gene displayed leaf rolling in response to high light intensity and/or low humidity. Biochemical assays revealed PG activity of recombinant PSL1 protein. Significant modifications to cell wall composition in thepsl1 mutant compared with the wild‐type plants were identified. Such modifications enhanced drought tolerance of the mutant plants by reducing water loss under osmotic stress and drought conditions. -

Abstract Understanding gene regulatory networks is essential to elucidate developmental processes and environmental responses. Here, we studied regulation of a maize (Zea mays) transcription factor gene using designer transcription activator-like effectors (dTALes), which are synthetic Type III TALes of the bacterial genus Xanthomonas and serve as inducers of disease susceptibility gene transcription in host cells. The maize pathogen Xanthomonas vasicola pv. vasculorum was used to introduce 2 independent dTALes into maize cells to induced expression of the gene glossy3 (gl3), which encodes a MYB transcription factor involved in biosynthesis of cuticular wax. RNA-seq analysis of leaf samples identified, in addition to gl3, 146 genes altered in expression by the 2 dTALes. Nine of the 10 genes known to be involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis were upregulated by at least 1 of the 2 dTALes. A gene previously unknown to be associated with gl3, Zm00001d017418, which encodes aldehyde dehydrogenase, was also expressed in a dTALe-dependent manner. A chemically induced mutant and a CRISPR-Cas9 mutant of Zm00001d017418 both exhibited glossy leaf phenotypes, indicating that Zm00001d017418 is involved in biosynthesis of cuticular waxes. Bacterial protein delivery of dTALes proved to be a straightforward and practical approach for the analysis and discovery of pathway-specific genes in maize.

Summary Epigenetic modifications have emerged as an important mechanism underlying plant defence against pathogens. We examined the role of JMJ14, a Jumonji (JMJ) domain‐containing H3K4 demethylase
, in local and systemic plant immune responses in Arabidopsis.The function of JMJ14 in local or systemic defence response was investigated by pathogen growth assays and by analysing expression and H3K4me3 enrichments of key defence genes using qPCR and ChIP‐qPCR. Salicylic acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip) levels were quantified and function of JMJ14 in SA‐ and Pip‐mediated defences was analysed in Col‐0 and
jmj14 plants.jmj14 mutants were compromised in both local and systemic defences. JMJ14 positively regulates pathogen‐induced H3K4me3 enrichment and expression of defence genes involved in SA‐ and Pip‐mediated defence pathways. Consequently, loss of JMJ14 results in attenuated defence gene expression and reduced Pip accumulation during establishment of systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Exogenous Pip partially restored SAR injmj14 plants, suggesting that JMJ14 regulated Pip biosynthesis and other downstream factors regulate SAR injmj14 plants.JMJ14 positively modulates defence gene expressions and Pip levels in Arabidopsis.

Summary Patterned leaf coloration in plants generates remarkable diversity in nature, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear.
Here, using
Medicago truncatula leaf marking as a model, we show that the classicM. truncatula leaf anthocyanin spot trait depends on two R2R3 MYB paralogous regulators, RED HEART1 (RH1) and RH2.RH1 mainly functions as an anthocyanin biosynthesis activator that specifically determines leaf marking formation depending on its C‐terminal activation motif. RH1 physically interacts with the
M. truncatula bHLH protein MtTT8 and the WDR family member MtWD40‐1, and this interaction facilitates RH1 function in leaf anthocyanin marking formation. RH2 has lost transcriptional activation activity, due to a divergent C‐terminal domain, but retains the ability to interact with the same partners, MtTT8 and MtWD40‐1, as RH1, thereby acting as a competitor in the regulatory complex and exerting opposite effects. Moreover, our results demonstrate that RH1 can activate its own expression and that RH2‐mediated competition can repressRH1 expression.Our findings reveal the molecular mechanism of the antagonistic gene paralogs RH1 and RH2 in determining anthocyanin leaf markings in
M. truncatula , providing a multidimensional paralogous–antagonistic regulatory paradigm for fine‐tuning patterned pigmentation. -

Summary The leaf outer epidermal cell wall acts as a barrier against pathogen attack and desiccation, and as such is covered by a cuticle, composed of waxes and the polymer cutin. Cutin monomers are formed by the transfer of fatty acids to glycerol by glycerol‐3‐phosphate acyltransferases, which facilitate their transport to the surface.
The extent to which cutin monomers affect leaf cell wall architecture and barrier properties is not known. We report a dual functionality of pathogen‐inducible
GLYCEROL‐3‐PHOSPHATE ACYLTRANSFERASE 6 (GPAT6 ) in controlling pathogen entry and cell wall properties affecting dehydration in leaves.Silencing of
Nicotiana benthamiana NbGPAT6a increased leaf susceptibility to infection by the oomycetesPhytophthora infestans andPhytophthora palmivora , whereas overexpression ofNbGPAT6a‐GFP rendered leaves more resistant. A loss‐of‐function mutation in tomatoSlGPAT6 similarly resulted in increased susceptibility of leaves toPhytophthora infection, concomitant with changes in haustoria morphology. Modulation ofGPAT6 expression altered the outer wall diameter of leaf epidermal cells. Moreover, we observed that tomatogpat6‐a mutants had an impaired cell wall–cuticle continuum and fewer stomata, but showed increased water loss.This study highlights a hitherto unknown role for GPAT6‐generated cutin monomers in influencing epidermal cell properties that are integral to leaf–microbe interactions and in limiting dehydration.
