Pear is one of the most commercially important fruit trees worldwide and is widely cultivated in temperate zones. Drought stress can greatly limit pear fruit yield and quality. Pyrus betulaefolia Bunge, a drought-resistant pear rootstock that is commonly used in northern China, confers favourable characteristics to pear scions, allowing them to respond rapidly to drought stress via the transport of macromolecules such as phloem-mobile mRNAs. How drought-responsive mRNAs function as phloem-mobile signals remains unknown, however. Here, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) combined with SNP analysis to identify mobile mRNAs in P. betulaefolia. We focused on mobile mRNAs that respond to drought stress and found that the abundance of a novel mRNA named PbDRM (P. betulaefoliaDROUGHT-RESPONSIVE MOBILE GENE) significantly increased in several different scion cultivars when they were grafted onto P. betulaefolia rootstock under drought conditions. PTC-209 concentration In addition, downregulating PbDRM by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) increased the drought sensitivity of P. betulaefolia. CAPS RT-PCR analysis confirmed that PbDRM mRNA moves from rootstock to scion in micrografting systems. Therefore, PbDRM mRNA acts as a phloem-mobile signal in pear under drought stress. Chrysanthemum is a typical short day (SD) flowering plant that requires a longer night period than a critical minimum duration to successfully flower. We identified FLOWERING LOCUS T-LIKE 3 (FTL3) and ANTI-FLORIGENIC FT/TFL1 FAMILY PROTEIN (AFT) as a florigen and antiflorigen, respectively, in a wild diploid chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum seticuspe). Expression of the genes that produce these proteins, CsFTL3 and CsAFT, is induced in the leaves under SD or a noninductive photoperiod, respectively, and the balance between them determines the progression of floral transition and anthesis. However, how CsFTL3 and CsAFT are regulated to define the critical night length for flowering in chrysanthemum is unclear. In this study, we focused on the circadian clock-related gene GIGANTEA (GI) of C. seticuspe (CsGI) and generated transgenic C. seticuspe plants overexpressing CsGI (CsGI-OX). Under a strongly inductive SD (8 L/16D) photoperiod, floral transition occurred at almost the same time in both wild-type and CsGI-OX the gate for CsAFT induction by light in chrysanthemum. Azospirillum brasilense colonizes plant roots and improves productivity, but the molecular mechanisms behind its phytostimulation properties remain mostly unknown. Here, we uncover an important role of TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (TOR) signaling on the response of Arabidopsis thaliana to A. brasilense Sp245. The effect of the bacterium on TOR expression was analyzed in the transgenic line TOR/tor-1, which carries a translational fusion with the GUS reporter protein, and the activity of TOR was assayed thought the phosphorylation of its downstream signaling target S6K protein. Besides, the role of TOR on plant growth in inoculated plants was assessed using the ATP-competitive inhibitor AZD-8055. A decrease in growth of the primary root correlates with an improved branching and absorptive capacity via lateral root and root hair proliferation 6 days after transplant to different concentrations of the bacterium (103 or 105 CFU/mL). Bacterization increased the expression of TOR in shoot and root apexes and promoted phosphorylation of S6K 3 days after transplant. The TOR inhibitor AZD-8055 (1 μM) inhibited plant growth and cell division in root meristems and in lateral root primordia, interfering with the phytostimulation by A. brasilense. In addition, the role of auxin produced by the bacterium to stimulate TOR expression was explored. Noteworthy, the A. brasilense mutant FAJ009, impaired in auxin production, was unable to elicit TOR signaling to the level observed for the wild-type strain, showing the importance of this phyhormone to stimulate TOR signaling. Together, our findings establish an important role of TOR signaling for the probiotic traits elicited by A. brasilense in A. thaliana. The flexible development of plants is characterized by a high capacity for post-embryonic organ formation and tissue regeneration, processes, which require tightly regulated intercellular communication and coordinated tissue (re-)polarization. The phytohormone auxin, the main driver for these processes, is able to establish polarized auxin transport channels, which are characterized by the expression and polar, subcellular localization of the PIN1 auxin transport proteins. These channels are demarcating the position of future vascular strands necessary for organ formation and tissue regeneration. Major progress has been made in the last years to understand how PINs can change their polarity in different contexts and thus guide auxin flow through the plant. However, it still remains elusive how auxin mediates the establishment of auxin conducting channels and the formation of vascular tissue and which cellular processes are involved. By the means of sophisticated regeneration experiments combined with local auxin applications in Arabidopsis thaliana inflorescence stems we show that (i) PIN subcellular dynamics, (ii) PIN internalization by clathrin-mediated trafficking and (iii) an intact actin cytoskeleton required for post-endocytic trafficking are indispensable for auxin channel formation, de novo vascular formation and vascular regeneration after wounding. These observations provide novel insights into cellular mechanism of coordinated tissue polarization during auxin canalization. Protein N-glycosylation plays key roles in protein folding, stability, solubility, biogenesis, and enzyme activity. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an important vegetable crop with abundant nutritional value, and the formation of tomato fruit qualities primarily occurs in the fruit ripening process. However, a large number of N-glycosylation-mediated mechanisms in regulating tomato fruit ripening have not been elucidated to date. In this study, western blot assays showed that the extents of mature N-glycoproteins were differentially expressed in mature green fruits (fruit start ripening) and ripe fruits (fruit stop ripening). Next, through performing a comparative N-glycoproteome analysis strategy, a total of 553 N-glycosites from 363 N-glycoproteins were identified in mature green fruits compared with ripe fruits. Among them, 252 N-glycosites from 191 N-glycoproteins were differentially expressed in mature green fruits compared with ripe fruits. The differentially expressed N-glycoproteins were mainly located in the chloroplast (30 %) and cytoplasm (16 %).
