AB  - The aim of this study was to determine qualitative composition of methanol-soluble metabolites in leaves
from in vitro-grown plants of phylogenetically distinct Nepeta species producing iridoids (N. sibirica L., N.
spicata Benth., N. argolica Bory & Chaub., and N. rtanjensis Diklić & Milojević) and iridoid-lacking N. nervosa
Royle ex Benth., adopting UHPLC-LTQ OrbiTrap MS technique. Totally, 52 compounds were identified
based on their monoisotopic masses, MSn fragmentation, and previously reported MS data and they were
clustered into four major groups: phenolic acid derivatives (23 compounds), flavonoids (10 compounds),
iridoids (13 compounds), and 6 compounds belonging to other classes. Both phenolic and iridoid profiles
of the tested species were found to be very diverse regarding both qualitative content of compounds and
their relative representation in extracts. Rosmarinic, 5-O-cafeoylquinic, and caffeic acids were found to be
the dominant phenolics in all analyzed species, especially in N. argolica, N. rtanjensis, and N. nervosa.
Iridoids were present in the form of glucosides and the most abundant compounds from this group were
epideoxyloganic acid, geniposide, and aucubin. Although iridoids were not detected in N. nervosa extracts,
this species was revealed as a rich source of phenolic acids and flavonoids. Conversely, N. spicata was found
to produce iridoids but negligible amounts of phenolic compounds. Extracts of two closely related endemic
species originating from the Balkan Peninsula, N. argolica and N. rtanjensis, were very similar in both
phenolic and iridoid profiles. The UHPLC-LTQ OrbiTrap MS method, in combination with chemometrics
data processing, was proved to be simple, rapid, and accurate strategy for unambiguous taxonomic
determination and chemical differentiation of Nepeta species.

AB  - Nepeta L. is the largest genus of the Lamiaceae family, and the exclusive representative of the
subfamily Nepetoidae which produces iridoids. However, the genus Nepeta comprises both taxa
producing iridoids (iridoid aglycones-IAs and/or iridoid glucosides-IGs), and those lacking iridoids.
Combining omics-guided approach and functional genomics in elucidating the genetic background
of the iridoid diversity within the genus Nepeta, we provide novel insights into molecular
mechanisms driving the iridoid biosynthesis, and thus into chemical evolution of iridoids within
the genus Nepeta. Multidisciplinary experimental approach is here explained on the example
of iridoid synthases (IS), functionally characterized by in vitro enzymatic assays using recombinant
proteins heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. Functional ISs are expressed in both
iridoid-producing N. rtanjensis (NrIS2) and N. sibirica L. (NsIS), as well as in iridoid-lacking N. nervosa
L. (NnIS). N. nervosa possesses an iridoid biosynthetic platform, but inactive one, most likely due
to the “switching off” or “silencing” of some gene(s) upstream in the pathway, which suggests that
this species has lost the ability to produce iridoids during the evolution. Furthermore, comparative
iridoid profiling and co-expression analysis of biosynthetic genes and transcription factors (TFs)
during the exposure of chemodiverse Nepeta taxa to environmental stresses (e.g. dehydration,
UV−B radiation, pathogens) or elicitors (MeJA), facilitated the explanation of regulatory mechanisms
determining the productivity of plants, as well as of factors responsible for the presence/
absence of iridoids or specific groups of iridoids (IAs and IGs), in these plants.

pharmacological properties, biopesticide potential and behavioral effects on cats. Different biological activities of Nepeta species are closely related to their secondary metabolites, among which

analysis in a negative ionization mode revealed the presence of totally 15 iridoids in samples, of
which 13 were glucosides and two were aglycons of iridoids. Iridoid compounds were identified
based on their monoisotopic masses, MSn
 fragmentation, and previously reported MS data. The
results indicated that the iridoid profiles of the investigated species are very diverse both in terms
of qualitative content of the compounds and their relative abundance in extracts. Among analysed Nepeta species, Balkan Peninsula endemics (N. rtanjensis, N. parnassica, and N. ernesti-mayeri)
and N. cataria, are especially rich in isomers of 1,5,9-epideoxyloganic acid. 5-Deoxylamiol, nepetariaside, nepetanudoside B, and ajugol were detected in majority of analyzed species. The UHPLC-LTQ OrbiTrap MS analysis, in combination with chemometric data processing, has proven to
be an efficient tool for chemical differentiation between Nepeta taxa, and could aid the efforts to
unravel the chemical evolution within the genus.

AB  - Centaurium erythraea, used as medical plant from the earliest times, is an immense depot of quite rare bioactive compounds. Secoiridoids (sweroside, swertiamarin, and gentiopicrin) and xanthones (methylbellidifolin and decussatin) are predominant bioactive compounds in C. erythraea. The present study aims at providing new insights into how the content of these bioactive principles can be related with plant ploidy level by characterizing possible differences in their biosynthesis and accumulation between diploid and tetraploid genotypes from both spatial and temporal aspects. In general, shoots are determined as the major site of secoiridoids’ and xanthones’ accumulation, whose ratio vary during the development. Genes involved in iridoid and xanthone metabolic pathways were found to be coordinately regulated at the transcriptional level both during the development and among organs. Biosynthetic gene expression levels were found highly correlated with the content of major compounds from these two classes. Diversification in chemical profiles between tetraploid and diploid genotypes may result from the expression difference between homologous loci correspondent to several key biosynthetic genes, which trigger changes in the two metabolic routes. Thus, enhanced expression of genes coding for geraniol synthase (GES), 8-hydroxygeraniol oxidoreductase (8HGO), and 7-deoxyloganic acid hydrolase (7DLH2) is strongly associated with intensive production of iridoids. Interestingly, transcript levels of beta-glucosidase (CebGLU), a candidate to catalyze the first step in the secoiridoid catabolism, is significantly positively correlated with the content of major secoiridoids. Elevated expression of genes coding for benzophenone synthase (BS) and 3-hydroxybenzoate:CoA ligase (3HBL) appear to account for enhanced production of hexa-substituted xanthones. Regarding content of iridoids and xanthones, a diploid genotype appeared to be more productive than a tetraploid genotype under controlled in vitro conditions, therewithal displaying significantly higher biomass.

AB  - Secoiridoid glucosides (SGs) are monoterpenoids derived from the iridoid cyclopentane-C-pyran skeleton with β-D glucose linked at C1 position. Coordinated metabolic processes, such as biosynthesis and catabolism of SGs, ensure constitutive presence of these bitter tasting compounds in plant tissues, which plays a decisive role in the defense against pathogens and herbivores. These compounds are susceptible to hydrolysis mediated by enzymes β-glucosidases, and the resulting aglycones are subsequently directed toward different metabolic pathways in plants. Function of two β-D-glucosidases (named CeBGlu1 and CeBGlu2) from centaury (Centaurium erythraea Rafn; fam. Gentianaceae), belonging to the glycoside hydrolase 1 (GH1) family, was confirmed using in vitro assays with recombinant proteins, following their heterologous expression in E. coli and His-tag affinity purification. Although they show slightly differential substrate preference, both isoforms display high specificity toward SGs and the organ-specific distribution of transcripts was positively correlated with the content of SGs in diploid and tetraploid C. erythraea plants. Transient overexpression of CeBGlu1 and CeBGlu2 in C. erythraea leaves induced changes in metabolite profiles. The effectiveness of transgene overexpression has been altered by plant ploidy. UHPLC/DAD/(±)HESI - MS2 profiling of leaves of diploid and tetraploid C. erythraea genotypes revealed that the amounts of major SGs; sweroside, swertiamarin, and gentiopicrin was decreased in agroinfiltrated leaves, especially when CeBGlu1 and CeBGlu2 were co-expressed with transgene silencing suppressor p19. The work demonstrates that in planta metabolic engineering adopting transient overexpression of CeBGlu1 and CeBGlu2 is a suitable tool for the modulation of SGs content and glucosides/aglycones ratio, which might have substantial effects on overall phytochemistry of C. erythraea.

AB  - Centaurium erythraea, used as medical plant from the earliest times, is an immense depot of quite rare bioactive compounds. Secoiridoids (sweroside, swertiamarin, and gentiopicrin) and xanthones (methylbellidifolin and decussatin) are predominant bioactive compounds in C. erythraea. The present study aims at providing new insights into how the content of these bioactive principles can be related with plant ploidy level by characterizing possible differences in their biosynthesis and accumulation between diploid and tetraploid genotypes from both spatial and temporal aspects. In general, shoots are determined as the major site of secoiridoids’ and xanthones’ accumulation, whose ratio vary during the development. Genes involved in iridoid and xanthone metabolic pathways were found to be coordinately regulated at the transcriptional level both during the development and among organs. Biosynthetic gene expression levels were found highly correlated with the content of major compounds from these two classes. Diversification in chemical profiles between tetraploid and diploid genotypes may result from the expression difference between homologous loci correspondent to several key biosynthetic genes, which trigger changes in the two metabolic routes. Thus, enhanced expression of genes coding for geraniol synthase (GES), 8-hydroxygeraniol oxidoreductase (8HGO), and 7-deoxyloganic acid hydrolase (7DLH2) is strongly associated with intensive production of iridoids. Interestingly, transcript levels of beta-glucosidase (CebGLU), a candidate to catalyze the first step in the secoiridoid catabolism, is significantly positively correlated with the content of major secoiridoids. Elevated expression of genes coding for benzophenone synthase (BS) and 3-hydroxybenzoate:CoA ligase (3HBL) appear to account for enhanced production of hexa-substituted xanthones. Regarding content of iridoids and xanthones, a diploid genotype appeared to be more productive than a tetraploid genotype under controlled in vitro conditions, therewithal displaying significantly higher biomass.

AB  - Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the most important vegetable crop globally and is very susceptible to high ambient temperatures. Since heat stress causes the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), investigations regarding major enzymatic components of the antioxidative system are of the essence. Superoxide dismutases (SODs) represent the first line of defense against ROS but detailed in silico analysis and characterization of the potato SOD gene family have not been performed thus far. We have analyzed eight functional SOD genes, three StCuZnSODs, one StMnSOD, and four StFeSODs, annotated in the updated version of potato genome (Spud DB DM v6.1). The StSOD genes and their respective proteins were analyzed in silico to determine the exon-intron organization, splice variants, cis-regulatory promoter elements, conserved domains, signals for subcellular targeting, 3D-structures, and phylogenetic relations. Quantitative PCR analysis revealed higher induction of StCuZnSODs (the major potato SODs) and StFeSOD3 in thermotolerant cultivar Désirée than in thermosensitive Agria and Kennebec during long-term exposure to elevated temperature. StMnSOD was constitutively expressed, while expression of StFeSODs was cultivar-dependent. The effects of salicylic acid (10−5 M) on StSODs expression were minor. Our results provide the basis for further research on StSODs and their regulation in potato, particularly in response to elevated temperatures.

AB  - Drosophila obscura is a common fruit fly that inhabits the temperate forests of Europe. While it is abundant in the north compared to other Drosophila, its density decreases southwards, where it is gradually replaced by other Drosophila species. This study describes variation in the mitochondrial Cyt b gene of D. obscura from several European populations. We observed a large number of haplotypes, together with the structuring of genetic variation. Genetic variation is higher in the west where O1 and related divergent haplotypes dominate. In the east, the O2 haplotype is most frequent, together with haplotypes that recently arose from it. In the central part of the species range, both O1 and O2 are equally present, along with many others. These data reveal signs of population expansions that probably happened earlier in the west, and more recently in the east. Though our conclusions are based on only one genetic marker, limiting the power of the analysis, the results imply either postglacial expansion from two unique sources or, more likely, eastwards stepping-stone expansion. This study adds important information on genetic variation and phylogeography to the obscure biology of D. obscura, a species that has the potential to become an interesting model in evolutionary biology and conservation genetics.

AB  - Centaurium erythraea Rafn, also known as common centaury, is a rich source of pharmacologically active specialized metabolites among which secoiridoid glucosides (SG) predominate. These compounds belong to the group of monoterpenoids, which are derived from the iridoid cyclopentan-C-pyran skeleton with β-D glucose linked at C1 position. Major SGs of C. erythraea (sweroside, swertiamarin, and gentiopicrin) are biosynthesized through general iridoid pathway via secologanin, and it has been recently proved that their catabolism starts with the deglycosylation step catalyzed by beta-glucosidases (BGlu). Two BGlu genes from C. erythraea (CeBGlu1 and CeBGlu2), with previously confirmed function, were transiently overexpressed in leaves of five month-old diploid and tetraploid centaury plants. Agroinfiltration of Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 strain harboring genes of interest in TMV-based overexpression pJL-TRBO vector (pJL-TR-BO:CeBGlu1; pJL-TRBO:CeBGlu2) resulted in transient in planta overexpression of CeBGlu1 and Ce-BGlu2. Metabolic profiling of secoiridoids in leaves of diploid and tetraploid C. erythraea genotypes revealed that amounts of sweroside, swertiamarin, and gentiopicrin, were significantly reduced in agroinfiltrated leaves, especially when CeBGlu1 and CeBGlu2 were co-expressed with transgene silencing suppressor p19. Diploid plants displayed more pronounced decrease in SGs content than tetraploids. The effectiveness of gene overexpression was obviously altered by plant ploidy, and was under the control of post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanisms in the infiltrated tissues. Transgenes are more prone to transcriptional inactivation in C. erythraea tetraploids than in diploids. In conclusion, SGs-specific β-glucosidases could serve as a molecular target of biotechnological interest, in order to shape SG profiles of centaury and related economically important
species of the Gentianaceae family.

AB  - Different stressors from the environment can prime defense and enable enhanced responses
to subsequent stress exposure. It has been proposed that induced epigenetic changes, on the
level of DNA and histones, could be involved in this response. Plant essential oils (EOs) have shown
promising prospects as novel priming inducers. Still, little is known about their potential to induce
epigenetic alternations. In this study, we examined the effect of the French marigold (Tagetes patula
L.) EO on DNA methylation of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Potato plants were exposed to
EO for 3 consecutive days for 8h each day, and samples were collected 10 days after EO removal.
Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) was used to identify differentially methylated (DM)
DNA sequences among control and EO-exposed samples. Promoters, exons, introns, 3‘UTR, 5‘UTR,
and intergenic regions, each at a differential methylation ratio 0.1 to 0.25 between control and
treated samples were analyzed. The average methylation level of the whole genome was 72.29%
and 69.23% in control and exposed samples, respectively. Differential DNA methylation has predominantly
occurred in the CG context compared to CHH and CHG. In general, hypomethylated
sequences outnumbered hypermethylated ones. Functional annotation clustering of differentially
methylated genes distinguished 6 affected KEGG pathways – endocytosis (sot04144) and protein
processing in the endoplasmatic reticulum (sot04141) among others. The expression of DM genes
associated with these pathways, as well as different defense responses in potato (GO:0006952),
will be analyzed subsequently in potato plants challenged with different abiotic and biotic stress
conditions.

AB  - Abstract
Once a widespread species across the region of Southeast Europe, the Griffon vulture is now confined to small and isolated populations across the Balkan Peninsula. The population from Serbia represents its biggest and most viable population that can serve as an important reservoir of genetic diversity from which the birds can be used for the region’s reintroduction programs. The available genetic data for this valuable population are scarce and it is necessary to assess its genetic diversity and inbreeding level if the population is going to be used for restocking and reintroduction.
To assess the genetic diversity we used microsatellite markers from ten loci and mitochondrial Cytb nucleotide sequences. The blood samples were collected from 58 unrelated birds during the marking in the nests. We have performed a comparative analysis of newly obtained data on microsatellites and Cytb with existing data. Genetic differentiation analysis between different native populations of French Pyrenees, Croatia and Israel identified two genetic clusters that differentiate populations from the Balkan and Iberian Peninsulas. Genetic diversity analysis based on microsatellites demonstrated similar levels among all populations while analysis of Cytb detected somewhat lower diversity in the population from Serbia. Further analyses demonstrated that all analyzed populations experienced a recent bottleneck event. Phylogeographic analysis based on Cytb sequences showed that the most frequent haplotype is found in all Griffon vulture populations and that each population possesses private haplotypes. Considering the serious recent bottleneck event which the population from Serbia experienced we estimated the overall relatedness among the birds from this population. The level of inbreeding was relatively high and on average it was 8,3% while the mean number of relatives for each bird was close to three.
Our data suggest that, even though a relatively high level of inbreeding can be detected among the individual birds, the Griffon vulture population from Serbia can be used as a source population for restocking and reintroduction programs in the region. The observed genetic differentiation between the populations from the Iberian and Balkan Peninsula suggest that the introduction of foreign birds should be avoided and that local birds should be used instead.

AB  - Phosphinothricin (PPT) is one of the most widely used herbicides. PTT targets glutamine synthetase (GS) activity in plants, and its phytotoxicity is ascribed to ammonium accumulation and reactive oxygen species bursts, which drives rapid lipid peroxidation of cell membranes. In agricultural fields, PPT is extensively sprayed on plant foliage; however, a portion of the herbicide reaches the soil. According to the present study, PPT absorbed via roots can be phytotoxic to Arabidopsis, inducing more adverse effects in roots than in shoots. Alterations in plant physiology caused by 10 days expo-sure to herbicide via roots are reflected through growth suppression, reduced chlorophyll content, perturbations in the sugar and organic acid metabolism, modifications in the activities and abundances of GS, catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase. Antagonistic interaction of Nepeta rtanjensis essential oil (NrEO) and PPT, emphasizes the existence of complex control mechanisms at the transcriptional and posttranslational level, which result in the mitigation of PPT-induced ammonium toxicity and in providing more efficient antioxidant defense of plants. Simultaneous application of the two agents in the field cannot be recommended; however, NrEO might be considered as the PPT post-treatment for reducing harmful effects of herbicide residues in the soil on non-target plants.

AB  - Aquaporins comprise a large group of transmembrane proteins responsible for water
transport, which is crucial for plant survival under stress conditions. Despite the vital role of aquaporins,
nothing is known about this protein family in Impatiens walleriana, a commercially important
horticultural plant, which is sensitive to drought stress. In the present study, attention is given to
the molecular characterization of aquaporins in I. walleriana and their expression during drought
stress and recovery. We identified four I. walleriana aquaporins: IwPIP1;4, IwPIP2;2, IwPIP2;7 and
IwTIP4;1. All of them had conserved NPA motifs (Asparagine-Proline-Alanine), transmembrane
helices (TMh), pore characteristics, stereochemical properties and tetrameric structure of holoprotein.
Drought stress and recovery treatment affected the aquaporins expression in I. walleriana
leaves, which was up- or downregulated depending on stress intensity. Expression of IwPIP2;7 was
the most affected of all analyzed I. walleriana aquaporins. At 15% and 5% soil moisture and recovery
from 15% and 5% soil moisture, IwPIP2;7 expression significantly decreased and increased, respectively.
Aquaporins IwPIP1;4 and IwTIP4;1 had lower expression in comparison to IwPIP2;7, with
moderate expression changes in response to drought and recovery, while IwPIP2;2 expression was
of significance only in recovered plants. Insight into the molecular structure of I. walleriana aquaporins
expanded knowledge about plant aquaporins, while its expression during drought and recovery
contributed to I. walleriana drought tolerance mechanisms and re-acclimation.

AB  - Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a developmental process during which plant somatic cells, under suitable conditions, produce embryogenic cells that develop into somatic embryos (se). SE is the most important method for plant propagation in vitro, having both fundamental and applicative significance. SE can be induced from different tissues and organs, but when se are used as explants, the process is recognized as secondary or cyclic SE. We induced secondary SE in Centaurium erythraea by application of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea (CPPU). A medium containing 0.1 mgL−1 2,4-D and 0.25 mgL−1 CPPU was optimal in terms of the number of primary SE explants forming se, the number of well-developed se per explant, and morphological appearance of the obtained se. These concentrations allowed SE to progress through three cycles, whereas at higher concentrations of 0.2 mgL−1 2,4-D and 0.5 mgL−1 CPPU, only two cycles were achieved. Histological analysis revealed that secondary se are formed both directly and indirectly. Secondary SE readily germinated and converted into plantlets. Induction of cyclic SE contributes to the conservation efforts of this endangered medicinal plant and expands the spectrum of in vitro developmental pathways described in centaury—an emerging model in developmental biology.

AB  - Flower strips of French Marigold are commonly used pest repellents in potato fields. However, the effect of French Marigold volatiles on potato metabolism, physiology and induced defense is unknown. Thus, a microarray transcriptome analysis was performed to study the effects of French Marigold essential oil (EO) on laboratory-grown potato. After 8 h of exposure to EO, with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)-detected terpinolene and limonene as dominant compounds, 2796 transcripts were differentially expressed with fold change >2 compared to expression in controls. A slightly higher number of transcripts had suppressed expression (1493 down- vs. 1303 up-regulated). Since transcripts, annotated to different photosynthesis-related processes, were mostly down-regulated, we selected a set of 10 genes involved in the leaf starch metabolism pathway, and validated microarray patterns using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Except for decreased synthesis and induced decomposition of starch granule in leaves, 8 h long EO exposure slightly elevated the accumulation of sucrose compared to glucose and fructose in subjected potato plants. An in vitro feeding bioassay with Colorado potato beetle showed that EO-induced alternations on transcriptional level and in the sugars’ metabolism caused the enhancement of feeding behavior and overall development of the tested larvae. Results of comprehensive analysis of transcriptional responses in potato exposed to French Marigold EO provide a basis for further elucidation of molecular mechanisms underlying eco-physiological interactions in companion planting cropping systems.

AB  - Cistus creticus L. subsp. creticus (rockrose) is a shrub widespread in Greece and the Mediterranean basin and has been used in traditional medicine as herb tea for colds, for healing and digestive hitches, for the treatment of maladies, as perfumes, and for other purposes. Compounds from its flavonoid fraction have recently drawn attention due to antiviral action against influenza virus and HIV. Although several bioactive metabolites belonging to this group have been chemically characterized in the leaves, the genes involved in their biosynthesis in Cistus remain largely unknown. Flavonoid metabolism during C. creticus fruit development was studied by adopting comparative metabolomic and transcriptomic approaches. The present study highlights the fruit of C. creticus subsp. creticus as a rich source of flavonols, flavan-3-ols, and proanthocyanidins, all of which displayed a decreasing trend during fruit development. The majority of proanthocyanidins recorded in Cistus fruit are B-type procyanidins and prodelphinidins, while gallocatechin and catechin are the dominant flavan-3-ols. The expression patterns of biosynthetic genes and transcription factors were analyzed in flowers and throughout three fruit development stages. Flavonoid biosynthetic genes were developmentally regulated, showing a decrease in transcript levels during fruit maturation. A high degree of positive correlations between the content of targeted metabolites and the expression of biosynthetic genes indicated the transcriptional regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis during C. creticus fruit development. This is further supported by the high degree of significant positive correlations between the expression of biosynthetic genes and transcription factors. The results suggest that leucoanthocyanidin reductase predominates the biosynthetic pathway in the control of flavan-3-ol formation, which results in catechin and gallocatechin as two of the major building blocks for Cistus proanthocyanidins. Additionally, there is a decline in ethylene production rates during non-climacteric Cistus fruit maturation, which coincides with the downregulation of the majority of flavonoid- and ethylene-related biosynthetic genes and corresponding transcription factors as well as with the decline in flavonoid content. Finally, functional characterization of a Cistus flavonoid hydroxylase (F3′5′H) was performed for the first time.

The present study highlights the fruit of C. creticus subsp. creticus as a rich source of flavonols, flavan-3-ols, and proanthocyanidins, all of which displayed a decreasing trend during fruit development. The majority of proanthocyanidins recorded in Cistus fruit are B-type procyanidins and prodelphinidins, while gallocatechin and catechin are the dominant flavan-3-ols. The expression patterns of biosynthetic genes and transcription factors were analyzed in flowers and throughout three fruit development stages. Flavonoid biosynthetic genes were developmentally regulated, showing a decrease in transcript levels during fruit maturation. A high degree of positive correlations between the content of targeted metabolites and the expression of biosynthetic genes indicated the transcriptional regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis during C. creticus fruit development. This is further supported by the high degree of significant positive correlations between the expression of biosynthetic genes and transcription factors. The results suggest that leucoanthocyanidin reductase predominates the biosynthetic pathway in the control of flavan-3-ol formation, which results in catechin and gallocatechin as two of the major building blocks for Cistus proanthocyanidins. Additionally, there is a decline in ethylene production rates during non-climacteric Cistus fruit maturation, which coincides with the downregulation of the majority of flavonoid- and ethylene-related biosynthetic genes and corresponding transcription factors as well as with the decline in flavonoid content. Finally, functional characterization of a Cistus flavonoid hydroxylase (F3′5′H) was performed for the first time.",

AB  - Thioacetamide (TAA) is widely used to study liver toxicity accompanied by oxidative stress, inflammation, cell necrosis, fibrosis, cholestasis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. As an efficient free radical’s scavenger, C60 fullerene is considered a potential liver-protective agent in chemically-induced liver injury. In the present work, we examined the hepatoprotective effects of two C60 doses dissolved in virgin olive oil against TAA-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. We showed that TAA-induced increase in liver oxidative stress, judged by the changes in the activities of SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, GST, the content of GSH and 4-HNE, and expression of HO-1, MnSOD, and CuZnSOD, was more effectively ameliorated with a lower C60 dose. Improvement in liver antioxidative status caused by C60 was accompanied by a decrease in liver HMGB1 expression and an increase in nuclear Nrf2/NF-κB p65 ratio, suggesting a reduction in inflammation, necrosis and fibrosis. These results were in accordance with liver histology analysis, liver comet assay, and changes in serum levels of ALT, AST, and AP. The changes observed in gut microbiome support detrimental effects of TAA and hepatoprotective effects of low C60 dose. Less protective effects of a higher C60 dose could be a consequence of its enhanced aggregation and related pro-oxidant role.

AB  - Centaurium erythraea (centaury) is a medicinal plant with exceptional developmental plasticity in vitro and vigorous, often spontaneous, regeneration via shoot organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis, during which arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) play an important role. AGPs are highly glycosylated proteins belonging to the super family of O-glycosylated plant cell surface hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs). HRGPs/AGPs are intrinsically disordered and not well conserved, making their homology-based mining ineffective. We have applied a recently developed pipeline for HRGP/AGP mining, ragp, which is based on machine learning prediction of proline hydroxylation, to identify HRGP sequences in centaury transcriptome and to classify them into motif and amino acid bias (MAAB) classes. AGP sequences with low AG glycomotif representation were also identified. Six members of each of the three AGP subclasses, fasciclin-like AGPs, receptor kinase-like AGPs and AG peptides, were selected for phylogenetic and expression analyses. The expression of these 18 genes was recorded over 48 h following leaf mechanical wounding, as well as in 16 tissue samples representing plants from nature, plants cultivated in vitro, and developmental stages during shoot organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis. None of the selected genes were upregulated during both wounding recovery and regeneration. Possible functions of AGPs with the most interesting expression profiles are discussed.

AB  - Centaurium erythraea (common centaury) is a medicinal plant with extraordinary developmental plasticity
in vitro that is used as a model organism for studying in vitro morphogenesis in our lab. Several experimental lines of evidence have identified arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) as one of the key players involved in centaury morphogenesis; however, the role of specific genes has yet to be determined. AGPs are ubiquitous plant cell surface glycoproteins associated with various physiological functions. AGP sequences are characterized by the presence of non-continuous hydroxyproline residues, which serve as O-glycosylation anchor sites for branched arabinogalactans. Due to a biased amino acid composition rich in disorder-promoting amino acids, AGP sequences lack a stable structure and consequently have lessened evolutionary constraints. Therefore, homology-based approaches to AGP sequence mining have limited success. We have recently developed a bioinformatics pipeline for AGP sequence mining, ragp, which exploits their key feature – the presence of hydroxyprolines. This pipeline combines estimation
of proline hydroxylation based on local sequence context by a machine learning model with a flexible motif search. After applying this pipeline to the centaury transcriptome, AGP regions were found to associate with a variety of conserved domains. Here we introduce a streamlined way to train models for prediction of Pro hydroxylation, analyze important protein sequence features determining Pro hydroxylation status, present some of the AGP types found in centaury and discuss model limitations and future prospects.

Llccs− and Llccs+ plants during ex vitro growth and flowering is presented. Successful integration
of Llccs transgene allows the synthesis of red pigment capsanthin in petal cells that gives flowers

AB  - Potato, Solanum tuberosum L., is the world's most important non-grain food crop, which is highly heat-susceptible. Even moderately elevated temperatures have a significant impact on potato growth and tuberization, limiting productivity. High-temperature stress is accompanied by secondary oxidative stress due to elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metalloenzymes that play an important role of primary ROS scavengers. So far, the SOD gene family was not systematically described in potato, and the data regarding the expression of potato SOD genes under elevated temperature are scarce. We performed an in silico study of potato SODs and analyzed the transcriptional expression in response to moderately elevated (26 °C) and high (29 °C) temperature. The potato genome contains seven SOD genes, including three Cu/ZnSODs, one MnSOD and three FeSODs, unevenly distributed on five chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that potato SOD protein sequences share the most similarity to S. lycopersicum SODs and can be separated into two groups: Cu/ZnSOD and FeSOD-MnSOD. Cis-elements related to different signals, including high temperature, plant hormones, and light, were found in promoters of potato SOD genes. Gene expression analysis at different temperature treatments revealed heat-responsive SOD genes. Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant growth regulator and signaling molecule involved in plants' defense responses to abiotic stresses. Application of SA promoted expression of most SODs, especially at moderately elevated (26 °C) temperature. The results of our study revealed heat-inducible SOD genes that might be important for potato antioxidant defense under heat stress.

So far, the SOD gene family was not systematically described in potato, and the data regarding the expression of potato SOD genes under elevated temperature are scarce. We performed an in silico study of potato SODs and analyzed the transcriptional expression in response to moderately elevated (26 °C) and high (29 °C) temperature. The potato genome contains seven SOD genes, including three Cu/ZnSODs, one MnSOD and three FeSODs, unevenly distributed on five chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that potato SOD protein sequences share the most similarity to S. lycopersicum SODs and can be separated into two groups: Cu/ZnSOD and FeSOD-MnSOD. Cis-elements related to different signals, including high temperature, plant hormones, and light, were found in promoters of potato SOD genes. Gene expression analysis at different temperature treatments revealed heat-responsive SOD genes. Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant growth regulator and signaling molecule involved in plants' defense responses to abiotic stresses. Application of SA promoted expression of most SODs, especially at moderately elevated (26 °C) temperature. The results of our study revealed heat-inducible SOD genes that might be important for potato antioxidant defense under heat stress.",
