| 1 | Metabolomics-centered mining of plant metabolic diversity and function:Past decade and future perspectives显示文摘Plants are natural experts in organic synthesis,being able to generate large numbers of specific metabolites with widely varying structures that help them adapt to variable survival challenges.Metabolomics is a research discipline that integrates the capabilities of several types of research including analytical chemistry,statistics,and biochemistry.Its ongoing development provides strategies for gaining a systematic understanding of quantitative changes in the levels of metabolites.Metabolomics is usually performed by targeting either a specific cell,a specific tissue,or the entire organism.Considerable advances in science and technology over the last three decades have propelled us into the era of multi-omics,in which metabolomics,despite at an earlier developmental stage than genomics,transcriptomics,and proteomics,offers the distinct advantage of studying the cellular entities that have the greatest influence on end phenotype.Here,we summarize the state of the art of metabolite detection and identification,and illustrate these techniques with four case study applications:(i)comparing metabolite composition within and between species,(ii)assessing spatio-temporal metabolic changes during plant development,(iii)mining characteristic metabolites of plants in different ecological environments and upon exposure to various stresses,and(iv)assessing the performance of metabolomics as a means of functional gene identification,metabolic pathway elucidation,and metabolomics-assisted breeding through analyzing plant populations with diverse genetic variations.In addition,we highlight the prominent contributions of joint analyses of plant metabolomics and other omics datasets,including those from genomics,transcriptomics,proteomics,epigenomics,phenomics,microbiomes,and ion-omics studies.Finally,we discuss future directions and challenges exploiting metabolomics-centered approaches in understanding plant metabolic diversity. | Shuangqian Shen Chuansong Zhan Chenkun Yang Alisdair R.Fernie Jie Luo | 2023 | Molecular Plant2023，16，1： | 2 |
| 2 | OsRLCK160 contributes to flavonoid accumulation and UV-B tolerance by regulating OsbZIP48 in rice显示文摘Plants produce specialized metabolites to adapt to the ever-changing environments.Flavonoids are antioxidants essential for growth,development,and breeding with increased stress resistance in crops.However,the mechanism of the involvement of flavonoids in ultraviolet-B(UV-B)stress in rice(Oryza sativa)is largely unknown.In this study,we cloned and functionally identified a receptor-like kinase(OsRLCK160)and a bZIP transcription factor(OsbZIP48)positively regulating flavonoid accumulation through metabolite-based genome-wide association study of the flavonoid content in rice.Meanwhile,OsRLCK160 interacted with and phosphorylated OsbZIP48 to regulate the flavonoid accumulation and participate in UV-B tolerance in rice.Our study indicates the importance of applying OsRLCK160 and OsbZIP48 to advance the fundamental understanding of stable rice production and breed UV-B-tolerant rice varieties,which may contribute to breeding high-yield rice varieties. | Feng Zhang Jiacheng Huang Hao Guo Chenkun Yang Yufei Li Shuangqian Shen Chuansong Zhan Lianghuan Qu Xianqing Liu Shouchuang Wang Wei Chen Jie Luo | 2022 | Science China(Life Sciences)2022，65，7： | 2 |
| 3 | Disease resistance conferred by components of essential chrysanthemum oil and the epigenetic regulation of OsTPS1显示文摘The sesquiterpene alpha-bisabolol is the predominant active ingredient in essential oils that are highly valued in the cosmetics industry due to its wound healing,anti-inflammatory,and skin-soothing properties.Alpha-bisabolol was thought to be restricted to Compositae plants.Here we reveal that alpha-bisabolol is also synthesized in rice,a non-Compositae plant,where it acts as a novel sesquiterpene phytoalexin.Overexpressing the gene responsible for the biosynthesis of alpha-bisabolol,Os TPS1,conferred bacterial blight resistance in rice.Phylogenomic analyses revealed that alpha-bisabolol-synthesizing enzymes in rice and Compositae evolved independently.Further experiments demonstrated that the natural variation in the disease resistance level was associated with differential transcription of Os TPS1 due to polymorphisms in its promoter.We demonstrated that Os TPS1 was regulated at the epigenetic level by JMJ705 through the methyl jasmonate pathway.These data reveal the cross-family accumulation and regulatory mechanisms of alpha-bisabolol production. | Chuansong Zhan Long Lei Hao Guo Shen Zhou Congping Xu Zixin Liu Zichen Wu Yuan Deng Yuanyuan Miao Yu Han Meng Zhang Hua Li Sishu Huang Chenkun Yang Feng Zhang Yufei Li Ling Liu Xianqing Liu Hafiz Muhammad Khalid Abbas Alisdair R.Fernie Meng Yuan Jie Luo | 2023 | Science China(Life Sciences)2023，66，5： | 1 |
