“…Moreover, the N-terminus of NLP has a highly conserved cGMP phosphodiesterase domain in addition to the RWP-RK domain, which may be involved in signal transduction or dimerization ( Yu et al, 2023 ). There have been many genome-wide studies of the NLP gene family, such as Arabidopsis thaliana ( Schauser et al, 2005 ), rice ( Oryza sativa ) ( Schauser et al, 2005 ), pepper ( Wu et al, 2023 ), alfalfa ( Wu et al, 2023 ), cucumber seedlings ( Li Y. et al, 2024 ), tea tree ( Li D. et al, 2024 ), Physcomitrella patens ( Crawford, 1995 ), wheat ( Kumar et al, 2018 ), maize ( Zea mays ) ( Ge et al, 2018 ), Brassica napus ( Feng et al, 2020 ), Chinese cabbage ( Chen et al, 2022a ) and so on. Evolutionary studies of the Chinese cabbage NLP family have revealed that the origins of duplication of the NLP gene family in the genus Brassica were almost exclusively derived from the WGD type ( Chen et al, 2022a ), yet the molecular evolutionary characterization of the other plant taxa is not known.…”

The NODULE-INCEPTION-like protein (NLP) family is a plant-specific transcription factor (TF) family involved in nitrate transport and assimilation in plants, which are essential for improving plant nitrogen use efficiency. Currently, the molecular nature and evolutionary trajectory of NLP genes in the C4 model crop foxtail millet are unknown. Therefore, we performed a comprehensive analysis of NLP and molecular evolution in foxtail millet by scanning the genomes of foxtail millet and representative species of the plant kingdom. We identified seven NLP genes in the foxtail millet genome, all of which are individually and separately distributed on different chromosomes. They were not structurally identical to each other and were mainly expressed on root tissues. We unearthed two key genes (Si5G004100.1 and Si6G248300.1) with a variety of excellent characteristics. Regarding its molecular evolution, we found that NLP genes in Gramineae mainly underwent dispersed duplication, but maize NLP genes were mainly generated via WGD events. Other factors such as base mutations and natural selection have combined to promote the evolution of NLP genes. Intriguingly, the family in plants showed a gradual expansion during evolution with more duplications than losses, contrary to most gene families. In conclusion, this study advances the use of NLP genetic resources and the understanding of molecular evolution in cereals.

Fire-resistant tree species play a crucial role in forest fire prevention, utilizing several physiological and molecular mechanisms to respond to extreme heat stress. Many transcription factors (TFs) and genes are known to be involved in the regulatory network of heat stress response in plants. However, their roles in response to high temperatures induced by fire remain less understood. In this study, we investigated Schima superba, a fire-resistant tree, to elucidate these mechanisms. Leaves of S. superba seedlings were exposed to fire stimulation for 10 s, 30 s, and 1 min, followed by a 24-h recovery period. Fifteen transcriptomes were assembled to identify key molecular and biological pathways affected by high temperatures. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis revealed essential candidate genes and TFs involved in the heat stress response, including members of the ethylene-responsive factors, WRKY, MYB, bHLH, and Nin-like families. Genes related to heat shock proteins/factors, lipid metabolism, antioxidant enzymes, dehydration responses, and hormone signal transduction were differentially expressed after heat stress and recovery, underscoring their roles in cellular process and recovery after heat stress. This study advances our understanding of plant response and defense strategies against extreme abiotic stresses.
