🌱💧 RESEARCH 💧🌱

Moderate water deficit amplifies molecular responses to sulfur deficiency in Pisum sativum, revealing synergistic responses at multiple layers of regulation under this stress combination - Bonnot et al.

#PlantScience 🧪

Fig. 1 (shortened, full legend in paper): Influence of water deficit (WD), sulfur deficiency (S–), and WD/S– on pea plant phenotypic variables. (A) Experimental design. Days 0 and 9 correspond to the beginning and end of WD, respectively. For the conditions WD and WD/S–, day 12 therefore corresponds to 3 d of rewatering for plant recovery. (B) Heatmap representing the effects of stresses on phenotypic variables, at day 9 and day 12. Variables with similar responses to stress are grouped using a hierarchical clustering method. Data are the log2 ratio (stress condition versus control) calculated from means of n=8 biological replicates (eight individual plants per condition). In (B) asterisks indicate significant differences between stress and control conditions (*P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001). (C) Profiles of selected phenotypic variables and of osmotic potential in leaves.

🧬 REVIEW 🧬

Plants have low methionine levels. Elevated methionine impacts metabolism, stress responses and epigenetic regulation. Understanding the regulation of methionine content may guide safe nutritional biofortification strategies- Amir et al.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...
#PlantScience 🧪

Fig. 1.Metabolic networks regulate Met metabolism. The biosynthesis of Met includes the aspartate pathway, which, via OPH, provides the carbon-amino skeleton, and the sulfur pathway, via cysteine, which provides the thiol group. The catabolism of Met and the three recycling pathways that recycle moieties of Met are also shown: the Yang cycle, the methyl cycle, and the SMM cycle, as well as their associated metabolites. Only several of the enzymes and metabolites are specified. Full arrows represent one metabolic step, while dashed arrows represent several metabolic steps. Abbreviations: CGS, cystathionine-γ-synthase; GLS, glucosinolates; 5-METH, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate; MGL, methionine γ-lyase; MS, Met synthase; OPH, O-phosphohomoserine; SAH, S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine; SAM, S-adenosylmethionine; SAMS, SAM synthase; SMM, S-methylmethionine.
