UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 From Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat (CmUVR8) Plays Important Roles in UV-B Signal Transduction and UV-B-Induced Accumulation of Flavonoids
Abstract:UV Resistance Locus 8 (UVR8), an ultraviolet-B (UV-B; 280–315 nm) photoreceptor, participates in the regulation of various plant growth and developmental processes. UV-B radiation is an important factor enhancing the production of active components in medicinal plants. To-date, however, studies on UV-B photoreceptors have largely focused on Arabidopsis, and the functions of UVR8 in medicinal plants are still largely unknown. In the present study, a homolog of Arabidopsis UVR8, CmUVR8, was isolated from Chrysan… Show more
“…Studies conducted in recent years show that high UV-B irradiation can even decrease CO 2 assimilation, decrease photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII), reduce electron transport rate (ETR) and limit the productivity of some crops (Basahi et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2015;González-Villagra et al, 2020). Our current knowledge has determined that plants can counteract the negative effect of UV-B through a series of morphological and molecular changes, such as, the biosynthesis of phenolic acids and flavonoids induced by a UV-B photoreceptor called UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 or UVR8 (Coffey et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2018;Kondou et al, 2019;Tossi et al, 2019). Nowadays, different research groups have proposed novel biotechnological methods to mitigate the effect of abiotic stress on agricultural crops, among them the use of PGPM are widely studied (Calvo-Polanco et al, 2016;Vurukonda et al, 2016;Ullah et al, 2017;Etesami and Maheshwari, 2018;Bernardo et al, 2019;Bahadur et al, 2019;Mathur et al, 2019;Mickan et al, 2019).…”

In the current scenario of climate change, the future of agriculture is uncertain. Climate change and climate-related disasters have a direct impact on biotic and abiotic factors that govern agroecosystems compromising the global food security. In the last decade, the advances in high throughput sequencing techniques have significantly improved our understanding about the composition, function and dynamics of plant microbiome. However, despite the microbiome have been proposed as a new platform for the next green revolution, our knowledge about the mechanisms that govern microbe-microbe and microbe-plant interactions are incipient. Currently, the adaptation of plants to environmental changes not only suggests that the plants can adapt or migrate, but also can interact with their surrounding microbial communities to alleviate different stresses by natural microbiome selection of specialized strains, phenomenon recently called "Cry for Help". From this way, plants have been co-evolved with their microbiota adapting to local environmental conditions to ensuring the survival of the entire holobiome to improve plant fitness. Thus, the strong selective pressure of native extreme microbiomes could represent a remarkable microbial niche of plant stress-amelioration to counteract the negative effect of climate change in food crops. Currently, the microbiome engineering has recently emerged as an alternative to modify and promote positive interactions between microorganisms and plants to improve plant fitness. In the present review, we discuss the possible use of extreme microbiome to alleviate different stresses in crop plants under the current scenario of climate change.

“…For example, phytochromes (PHY), whose unique photosensory properties can profoundly have a major role in governing plant elongation, flowering time, and leaf expansion [ 24 ], perceives light strongly in the red (660~700 nm) and far-red regions (700~750 nm) [ 25 ]. In contrast, the phototropin (PHOTO), cryptochrome (CRY), and ZLT system absorb light actively in the blue (400~495 nm) and UV-A (315~400 nm) regions [ 26 ], predominantly regulates plants hypocotyl elongation, and play an indispensable role in blue light facilitated stomatal opening [ 27 , 28 ] and controls the prosperity of an effective photoperiodic blossoming inducer [ 28 ], while the UVB-resistance locus 8 (UVR8) system perceives light intensely in the UV-B (280~315 nm) regions [ 29 ], and controls the biosynthesis-related genes expressions [ 30 ]. On the other hand, the far-red and UV ranges have secondary impacts on specific plants’ growth.…”
Manipulation of the LED illumination spectrum can enhance plant growth rate and development in grow tents. We report on the identification of the illumination spectrum required to significantly enhance the growth rate of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) plants in grow tent environments by controlling the LED wavebands illuminating the plants. Since the optimal illumination spectrum depends on the plant type, this work focuses on identifying the illumination spectrum that achieves significant basil biomass improvement compared to improvements reported in prior studies. To be able to optimize the illumination spectrum, several steps must be achieved, namely, understanding plant biology, conducting several trial-and-error experiments, iteratively refining experimental conditions, and undertaking accurate statistical analyses. In this study, basil plants are grown in three grow tents with three LED illumination treatments, namely, only white LED illumination (denoted W*), the combination of red (R) and blue (B) LED illumination (denoted BR*) (relative red (R) and blue (B) intensities are 84% and 16%, respectively) and a combination of red (R), blue (B) and far-red (F) LED illumination (denoted BRF*) (relative red (R), blue (B) and far-red (F) intensities are 79%, 11%, and 10%, respectively). The photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) was set at 155 µmol m−2 s−1 for all illumination treatments, and the photoperiod was 20 h per day. Experimental results show that a combination of blue (B), red (R), and far-red (F) LED illumination leads to a one-fold increase in the yield of a sweet basil plant in comparison with only white LED illumination (W*). On the other hand, the use of blue (B) and red (R) LED illumination results in a half-fold increase in plant yield. Understanding the effects of LED illumination spectrum on the growth of plant sweet basil plants through basic horticulture research enables farmers to significantly improve their production yield, thus food security and profitability.
“…Negative regulators such as MYB4 and MYB5 [27,70] are active and repress anthocyanin biosynthesis. In light, the activated photoreceptor UVR8 (ultraviolet resistance locus 8) is ubiquitinated by COP1 and targeted for degradation [71]. COP1 is subsequently exported from nucleus allowing nuclear-localized TFs such as HY5, MYB6, and MYB7 [27,35,70] to accumulate and induce expression of structural anthocyanin genes including CHS, CHI, F3H, F3'H, DFR, 3GT, and 3MaT, to generate anthocyanins.…”
The generation of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum × morifolium) flower color is mainly attributed to the accumulation of anthocyanins. Light is one of the key environmental factors that affect the anthocyanin biosynthesis, but the deep molecular mechanism remains elusive. In our previous study, a series of light-induced structural and regulatory genes involved in the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in the chrysanthemum were identified using RNA sequencing. In the present study, differentially expressed proteins that are in response to light with the capitulum development of the chrysanthemum ‘Purple Reagan’ were further identified using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) technique, and correlation between the proteomic and the transcriptomic libraries was analyzed. In general, 5106 raw proteins were assembled based on six proteomic libraries (three capitulum developmental stages × two light treatments). As many as 160 proteins were differentially expressed between the light and the dark libraries with 45 upregulated and 115 downregulated proteins in response to shading. Comparative analysis between the pathway enrichment and the gene expression patterns indicated that most of the proteins involved in the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway were downregulated after shading, which was consistent with the expression patterns of corresponding encoding genes; while five light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins were initially downregulated after shading, and their expressions were enhanced with the capitulum development thereafter. As revealed by correlation analysis between the proteomic and the transcriptomic libraries, GDSL esterase APG might also play an important role in light signal transduction. Finally, a putative mechanism of light-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in the chrysanthemum was proposed. This study will help us to clearly identify light-induced proteins associated with flower color in the chrysanthemum and to enrich the complex mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis for use in cultivar breeding.
