Salt-induced inhibition of tillering constrains rice plant architecture and yield potential. To clarify the molecular links between salt tolerance and tiller development, we compared physiological responses and tiller-bud transcriptomes of the salt-tolerant japonica cultivar Nipponbare (NIP) and the salt-susceptible cultivar Kongyu 131 (KY131) under salt stress. Time-resolved RNA sequencing revealed cultivar-specific transcriptional dynamics, suggesting that rapid acclimation and transcriptome stabilisation in tiller buds contribute to salt tolerance. Functional enrichment highlighted redox regulation, phenylpropanoid metabolism, chlorophyll biosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and phytohormone signalling as key processes coordinating salt adaptation and tiller-bud development. Co-expression analysis identified the NAC transcription factor OsNAC4 as a central regulatory hub. Functional analyses showed that OsNAC4 negatively regulates rice salt tolerance and tillering. Loss-of-function Osnac4 mutants exhibited enhanced salt tolerance, reduced ROS accumulation and membrane damage, increased antioxidant enzyme activities, and higher tiller number. Further analysis indicated that OsNAC4 functions as a transcriptional activator of stress-, redox-, metabolic-, and ABA-associated pathways, with OsNCED5 implicated as a downstream target mediating salt-induced ABA accumulation. Through integrated transcriptomic, physiological, and genetic evidence from comparative analyses, this study establishes a molecular connection between salt adaptation and rice tiller development and identifies candidate targets for breeding salt-tolerant rice with improved architecture.
The consequences of stacking multiple insect-resistance and herbicide-tolerance genes, particularly across the entire plant life cycle, remain inadequately understood. This study investigated the impact of stacked-trait transgenic soybeans on rhizosphere microbial communities across five growth stages (pre-sowing, V3, R3, R5, R8). Using 16S rRNA and ITS sequencing, we compared the rhizosphere microbiome of the transgenic modified soybean (GMO) with its non-transgenic control check (CK). Results showed transient but significant shifts in soil properties (e.g., available nitrogen) and microbial beta diversity during the V3 stages. However, plant developmental stage was the predominant factor shaping microbial succession, with its effect outweighing that of the transgene. No persistent changes in microbial alpha diversity were observed. We conclude that the influence of this stacked-trait soybean on the rhizosphere is growth-stage-specific and represents a minor, recoverable perturbation rather than a sustained ecological impact. These findings contribute to the ecological safety assessment of multi-gene transgenic crops.
The C3HC4-type RING finger (Ring-HC) gene family encodes zinc finger proteins crucial for plant growth and stress resistance. However, a comprehensive study on C3HC4-type RING finger genes in cotton has not been conducted to date. We identified 56 C3HC4-type RING finger genes in G. hirsutum, classified into three subfamilies with conserved structures. Evolutionary analysis indicated that this gene family has undergone strong purifying selection. Expression profiling revealed distinct tissue specificity, with significant enrichment in roots and ovules, indicating potential roles in development. Under abiotic stress, GhRHC genes showed broad responsiveness, particularly to cold. Notably, members like GhRHC1 and GhRHC34 exhibited antagonistic expression patterns: upregulation during pathogen/pest attacks but downregulation during beneficial rhizobacterial colonization. qRT-PCR analysis further confirmed the cold-induced expression of GhRHC1 and GhRHC34. Subcellular localization results preliminarily indicated that GhRHC1 and GhRHC34 proteins are localized to the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Our findings suggest that the GhRHC family plays multifaceted roles in cotton development and stress adaptation. The differential regulation of specific members suggests a possible association between differential stress-responsive regulation and the balance between defense-related responses and beneficial rhizobacterial interactions.
To evaluate the comprehensive ecological risks associated with transgenic plant residues, this study examined their impact on Eisenia fetida and their endogenous microorganisms. The results indicated that transgenic plant residues did not influence the survival or weight of E. fetida, but they significantly altered the microbial community structure at specific time points. Specifically, the diversity and structure of the fungal community exhibited significant changes on the 14th and 28th days after treatment. In contrast, the bacterial response was delayed, with 22 biomarkers, including Caproiciproducens, Lachnoclostridium, and Enterococcus, being specifically enriched on the 21st day. This study confirmed that transgenic plant residues can temporally reshape the microecology within E. fetida. The practical significance of this research lies in highlighting the importance of incorporating the microbiome into safety assessment frameworks, thereby providing a scientific foundation for developing more forward-looking ecological risk assessment standards.
With the development of commercialized planting of genetically modified crops, their ecological security risks remain a key topic of public concern. Insect-resistant genetically modified maize, Ruifeng125, which expresses a fusion Bt protein (Cry1Ab-Cry2Aj), has obtained the application safety certificate issued by the Chinese government. To determine the effects of Ruifeng125 on the diversity and dynamics of bacterial communities, the accumulation and degradation pattern of the fusion Bt protein in the rhizosphere soil of transgenic maize were detected. Results showed that the contents of Bt protein varied significantly at different developmental stages, but after straw was returned to the field, over 97% of Bt proteins were degraded quickly at the early stages (≤10 d) and then they were degraded at a relatively slow rate. In addition, the variations in bacterial community diversity in the rhizosphere soil were detected by 16S ribosomal RNA (Rrna) high-throughput sequencing technology. A total of 44 phyla, 435 families, and 842 genera were obtained by 16S rRNA sequencing, among which Proteobacteria, Actinobacia, Acidobacter Acidobacterium, and Chloroflexi were the dominant taxa. At the same developmental stage, no significant differences in soil bacterial diversity were detected between Ruifeng125 and its non-transgenic control variety. Further analysis revealed that developmental stage, rather than the transgenic event, made the greatest contribution to the changes in soil microbial diversity. This research provides important information for evaluating the impacts of Bt crops on the soil microbiome and establishes a theoretical foundation for their environmental safety assessment.

Artificial modification of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins can effectively improve their resistance to target pests, but the effect of such modification on the diversity of rhizosphere microorganisms remains unclear. Transgenic maize 2A-7 contains two artificially modified Bt proteins, mCry1Ab and mCry2Ab. These proteins can enter soil and pose a potential threat to soil microbial diversity. To assess their impacts on rhizosphere bacteria communities, the contents of the two Bt proteins and changes in bacterial community diversity in the rhizosphere soils of transgenic maize 2A-7 and its control variety were analyzed at different growth stages in 2020. The results showed that the two Bt proteins were detected at low levels in the rhizosphere soils of 2A-7 plants. No significant differences in soil bacterial diversity were detected between 2A-7 and its control variety at any of the growth stages. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the growth stage, rather than the cultivar, was the main factor causing changes in bacterial communities. This research provides valuable data for understanding the impact of Bt crops on the soil microbiome, and establishes a theoretical basis for evaluation of their safety.
The B-box (BBX) family of proteins consists of zinc-finger transcription factors with one or two highly conserved B-box motifs at their N-termini. BBX proteins play crucial roles in various aspects of plant growth and development, including seedling photomorphogenesis, shade avoidance, flowering time, and biotic and abiotic stress responses. Previous studies have identified many different BBXs from several plant species, although the BBX family members in maize are largely unknown. Genome-wide identification and comprehensive analysis of maize BBX (ZmBBX) expression and interaction networks would therefore provide valuable information for understanding their functions. In this study, 36 maize BBXs in three major clades were identified. The ZmBBXs within a given clade were found to share similar domains, motifs, and genomic structures. Gene duplication analyses revealed that the expansion of BBX proteins in maize has mainly occurred by segmental duplication. The expression levels of ZmBBXs were analyzed in various organs and tissues, and under different abiotic stress conditions. Protein–protein interaction networks of ZmBBXs were established using bioinformatic tools and verified by bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays. Our findings can facilitate a greater understanding of the complexity of the ZmBBX family and provide novel clues for unravelling ZmBBX protein functions.
Transgenic maize 2A-7 expressing mCry1Ab and mCry2Ab has excellent resistance to lepidopteran pests. Previous studies have investigated the effects of several Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins on the soil. However, the effects of artificially modified Bt proteins on soil ecosystems are still unclear. To evaluate the effects of transgenic maize 2A-7 on soil, the physicochemical properties, enzyme activities and functional diversities of the microbial communities in rhizosphere soils from 2A-7 and its near-isogenic non-transgenic control Dongdan 6531 were analyzed at different developmental stages under field conditions. The alteration of six physicochemical properties (pH, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, organic matter, available phosphorus and alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen) and six functional enzymes (catalase, alkaline phosphatase, sucrase, acid phosphatase, urease and alkaline protease) activities in the rhizosphere soils between the two maize cultivars were drastically correlated with plant growth stage, but not affected by the artificially modified Bt transgenes. An analysis of time-course Biolog data revealed that the functional diversity of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of 2A-7 and its control were similar at each developmental stage. The results suggest that transgenic maize 2A-7 has no significant impact on the soil ecosystem and provide valuable information on scientific safety assessments of 2A-7 and its commercial applications.

In June 2018, Chinese plum trees (Prunus salicina L.) showing small leaves, witches’-broom, and shortened branches were found in two orchards (only two trees per orchard) located in the city of Qufu, Shandong Province, China. Leaf and stem tissues were collected from symptomatic and two symptomless trees. Under transmission electron microscopy, wall-less prokaryotes with pleomorphic shapes, comprising spheroidal, ovoid, dumbbell, and irregular tubular, mostly 150 to 500 nm across were observed in the phloem sieve tubes of symptomatic tissues. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed using the antibodies against immunodominant membrane protein (Imp) of jujube witches’-broom nky isolate. The Imp antibody can react with antigens from symptomatic plants but not with those from symptomless plants. The associated phytoplasma was designated as Prunus salicina witches’-broom (PSWB) phytoplasma. To further confirm the classification of PSWB phytoplasma, total DNA was extracted from each sample using the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide method. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified using phytoplasma-specific universal primers R16mF2/R16mR1 (Lee et al. 1998). Specific fragments, approximately 1.4 kb, were amplified from DNA samples isolated from four diseased plants tested but not from healthy-looking plum plants nor from the blank control (distilled water as a DNA template). The resultant fragments were then cloned into cloning vectors pMD18-T (Takara Bio, Dalian, China) and sequenced. All obtained sequences (1,433 bp) were identical, and one representative sequence was deposited in GenBank (accession no. MN080143). The 16S rRNA of PSWB phytoplasma was identical to those of the sweet cherry virescence phytoplasma (KF268424) and jujube witches’-broom isolate nky (CP025121) (Wang et al. 2018). Phylogenetic analysis of phytoplasma 16S rDNA sequences based on the maximum likelihood method using MEGA 6.0 software indicated the PSWB phytoplasma within the 16SrV-B and 16SrV-G cluster. The results of iPhyClassifier analysis (Zhao et al. 2009) showed that the R16F2n/R16R2 primed fragment patterns of PSWB phytoplasma, which were taken from the R16mF2/R16mR1 sequences, were identical and had a similarity coefficient (F) of 1.0 with that of the representative strain ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma ziziphi’ of 16SrV-B. European plum (Prunus domestica) witches’-broom was reported recently in Poland, and the etiological agent was ‘Ca. P. asteris’ representing subgroup I-B/L (Zwolińska et al. 2019). The 16SrV-B phytoplasma has not been previously associated with Chinese plum witches’-broom symptoms, although infection has been reported in cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera), causing small and rolled leaf symptoms in China (Hong et al. 2011). To our best knowledge, this is the first report of plums (P. salicina) infected by ‘Ca. P. ziziphi’ representing subgroup V-B in China. Although the disease was discovered by chance and sporadic, as the new natural plant host of phytoplasma, the plum plants could facilitate spread of the phytoplasma to other fruits crops, which has great significance in the pathogen’s epidemiology.The author(s) declare no conflict of interest.References:Hong, M., et al. 2011.

Summary MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that play important roles in plant growth and development as well as in stress responses. However, little is known about their regulatory functions affecting rice grain yield. We functionally characterized a novel miRNA in rice, OsmiR530, its target OsPL3, and its upstream regulator phytochrome‐interacting factor‐like 15 (OsPIL15). Their effects on rice yield were dissected comprehensively. We determined that OsmiR530 negatively regulates grain yield. Blocking OsmiR530 increases grain yield, whereas OsmiR530 overexpression significantly decreases grain size and panicle branching, leading to yield loss. Additionally, OsPL3, which encodes a PLUS3 domain‐containing protein, is targeted directly by OsmiR530. Knocking out OsPL3 decreases the grain yield. In‐depth analyses indicated that OsPIL15 activates OsMIR530 expression by directly binding to the G‐box elements in the promoter. Analyses of genetic variations suggested that the OsMIR530 locus has likely been subjected to artificial selection during rice breeding. The results presented herein reveal a novel OsPIL15–OsmiR530 module controlling rice grain yield, thus providing researchers with a new target for the breeding of high‐yielding rice.
