| 1 | MdATG18a overexpression improves basal thermotolerance in transgenic apple by decreasing damage to chloroplasts显示文摘High temperature is an abiotic stress factor that threatens plant growth and development.Autophagy in response to heat stress involves the selective removal of heat-induced protein complexes.Previously,we showed that a crucial autophagy protein from apple,MdATG18a,has a positive effect on drought tolerance.In the present study,we treated transgenic apple(Malus domestica)plants overexpressing MdATG18a with high temperature and found that autophagy protected them from heat stress.Overexpression of MdATG18a in apple enhanced antioxidase activity and contributed to the production of increased beneficial antioxidants under heat stress.Transgenic apple plants exhibited higher photosynthetic capacity,as shown by the rate of CO_(2) assimilation,the maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II(PSII),the effective quantum yield,and the electron transport rates in photosystems I and II(PSI and PSII,respectively).We also detected elevated autophagic activity and reduced damage to chloroplasts in transgenic plants compared to WT plants.In addition,the transcriptional activities of several HSP genes were increased in transgenic apple plants.In summary,we propose that autophagy plays a critical role in basal thermotolerance in apple,primarily through a combination of enhanced antioxidant activity and reduced chloroplast damage. | Liuqing Huo Xun Sun Zijian Guo Xin Jia Runmin Che Yiming Sun Yanfei Zhu Ping Wang Xiaoqing Gong Fengwang Ma | 2020 | Horticulture Research2020，7，1： | 9 |
| 2 | Overexpression of MdATG18a in apple improves resistance to Diplocarpon mali infection by enhancing antioxidant activity and salicylic acid levels显示文摘Marssonina apple blotch,caused by Diplocarpon mali,is one of the most serious diseases of apple.Autophagy plays a key role in pathogen resistance.We previously showed that MdATG18a has a positive influence on drought tolerance.Herein,we describe how overexpression(OE)of MdATG18a enhances resistance to D.mali infection,probably because less H2O2 but more salicylic acid(SA)is accumulated in the leaves of OE apple plants.Expression of chitinase,β-1,3-glucanase,and SA-related marker genes was induced more strongly by D.mali in OE lines.Transcript levels of other important MdATG genes were also drastically increased by D.mali in OE plants,which indicated increased autophagy activities.Taken together,these results demonstrate that OE of MdATG18a enhances resistance to infection by D.mali and plays positive roles in H2O2-scavenging and SA accumulations.Our findings provide important information for designing strategies which could induce autophagy to minimize the impact of this disease on apple production. | Xun Sun Liuqing Huo Xin Jia Runmin Che Xiaoqing Gong Ping Wang Fengwang Ma | 2018 | Horticulture Research2018，5，1： | 8 |
| 3 | Overexpression of MdATG8i improves water use efficiency in transgenic apple by modulating photosynthesis, osmotic balance, and autophagic activity under moderate water deficit显示文摘Water deficit is one of the major limiting factors for apple(Malus domestica)production on the Loess Plateau,a major apple cultivation area in China.The identification of genes related to the regulation of water use efficiency(WUE)is a crucial aspect of crop breeding programs.As a conserved degradation and recycling mechanism in eukaryotes,autophagy has been reported to participate in various stress responses.However,the relationship between autophagy and WUE regulation has not been explored.We have shown that a crucial autophagy protein in apple,MdATG8i,plays a role in improving salt tolerance.Here,we explored its biological function in response to long-term moderate drought stress.The results showed that MdATG8i-overexpressing(MdATG8i-OE)apple plants exhibited higher WUE than wild-type(WT)plants under long-term moderate drought conditions.Plant WUE can be increased by improving photosynthetic efficiency.Osmoregulation plays a critical role in plant stress resistance and adaptation.Under long-term drought conditions,the photosynthetic capacity and accumulation of sugar and amino acids were higher in MdATG8i-OE plants than in WT plants.The increased photosynthetic capacity in the OE plants could be attributed to their ability to maintain optimal stomatal aperture,organized chloroplasts,and strong antioxidant activity.MdATG8i overexpression also promoted autophagic activity,which was likely related to the changes described above.In summary,our results demonstrate that MdATG8i-OE apple lines exhibited higher WUE than WT under long-term moderate drought conditions because they maintained robust photosynthesis,effective osmotic adjustment processes,and strong autophagic activity. | Xin Jia Ke Mao Ping Wang Yu Wang Xumei Jia Liuqing Huo Xun Sun Runmin Che Xiaoqing Gong Fengwang Ma | 2021 | Horticulture Research2021，8，1： | 1 |
