Viral-induced flower colour breaking reveals that turnip mosaic virus infection prevalence increases with urbanization in H. matronalis

Kaitlyn Dawson et al

www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

#PlantScience
Hesperis matronalis is an ornamental mustard plant introduced from Eurasia that has becomewidely naturalized throughout North America. Flowers of this species (pictured here) can be violet, pink, or white;however, upon infection by turnip mosaic virus, petals may display a striking flower color change referred to as“color breaking” or “variegation.” Research by Dawson et al. (in this issue, pp. 412–426) used the appearance offlower color breaking to investigate whether urbanization influences the prevalence of viral infection withinand among naturalized populations of H. matronalis. Field surveys of more than 38,000 plants from132 populations across Ontario, Canada, revealed that populations in areas of greater human activity weremore likely to be infected, independent of population size.

The expanding world of plant NLR pairs
Three recent studies, by Zhu et al., Klymiuk et al., and Hu et al., identified paired nucleotide-binding site–leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) in wheat against different pathogens, providing new insights into the genomic organization, domain architecture, and function of plant NLR pairs. Another study, by Du et al., showed that cross-species transfer of NLR partners confers resistance, highlighting the translational potential of NLR pairs in crop improvement.

Something interesting. I first saw this in a teaching greenhouse, but now confirmed in my lab light shelves! In long days (16L8D), my Kalanchoe grew clones (first pic). In short days (8L16D), no clones. Short day grown plants also lack anthocyanin (red patches under the leaf). #PlantScience

Comparative transcriptomics analysis across species with a broad range of leaf-surface pH indicates the molecular mechanisms underlying differing buffering capacities in response to external pH changes - López-González et al.

#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 4.Gene expression patterns in response to changes in external pH on the leaf surface. The pH of the leaf surface of Gossypium arboreum, G. hirsutum, Beta vulgaris, Nepenthes bicalcarata, and N. rafflesiana was determined (Dry control), and then they were sprayed with HCl solutions of pH 6.5 (Wet control), pH 4, and pH 2, and the resultant pH of the phylloplane was determined after 5 min. (A) Heatmaps showing the expression patterns of orthologous DEGs across the species and treatment comparisons for selected metabolic categories of interest. The orange arrows represent increases in the acidification response. (B) List of the top 20 most highly expressed genes in each category.
