<p>Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that regulate plant growth, development, and stress resistance. In this study, we evaluated the effect of agrochemicals on dark-induced hypocotyl elongation, which is regulated by BRs, to identify novel chemicals that regulate BR action. We found that the juvenile hormone agonist fenoxycarb inhibited dark-induced hypocotyl elongation in <i>Arabidopsis</i>. Treatment with the same class of juvenile hormone agonist, pyriproxyfen, did not affect hypocotyl elongation. Co-treatment with fenoxycarb and BR partly canceled the fenoxycarb-induced hypocotyl suppression. In addition, gene expression analysis revealed that fenoxycarb altered the BR-responsive gene expression. These results indicate that fenoxycarb is a BR action inhibitor.</p>

Authorship：Corresponding author Language：English
Our previous studies revealed that a two-component system (TCS), DevS, and DevR, regulate both nitric oxide (NO) signaling and NO homeostasis in the actinobacterium Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) M145, suggesting a reasonable system for NO-dependent metabolism. In this study, sequence alignment of DevR and DevR homologs found Asp66 (D66) and Thr196 (T196) as predicted phosphorylation sites of DevR. Phos-tag gel electrophoretic mobility shift assay suggested that D66 and T196 are involved in the phosphorylation of DevR. The respective point mutations of D66 and T196 significantly decreased the transcriptional activity of DevR, which affected nitrite production and aerial mycelium formation. These results suggested that both D66 and T196 of DevR are important for the regulation of NO homeostasis and signaling in S. coelicolor A3(2) M145.

Strigolactones (SLs), phytohormones that inhibit shoot branching in plants, promote the germination of root-parasitic plants, such as Striga spp. and Orobanche spp., which drastically reduces the crop yield. Therefore, reducing SL production via chemical treatment may increase the crop yield. To design specific inhibitors, it is valid to utilize the substrate structure of the target proteins as lead compounds. In this study, we focused on Os900, a rice enzyme that oxidizes the SL precursor carlactone (CL) to 4-deoxyorobanchol (4DO), and synthesized 10 CL derivatives. The effects of the synthesized CL derivatives on SL biosynthesis were evaluated by the Os900 enzyme assay in vitro and by measuring 4DO levels in rice root exudates. We identified some CL derivatives that inhibited SL biosynthesis in vitro and in vivo.

Strigolactones (SLs) are a plant hormone inhibiting shoot branching/tillering and a rhizospheric, chemical signal that triggers seed germination of the noxious root parasitic plant Striga and mediates symbiosis with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Identifying specific roles of canonical and noncanonical SLs, the two SL subfamilies, is important for developing Striga-resistant cereals and for engineering plant architecture. Here, we report that rice mutants lacking canonical SLs do not show the shoot phenotypes known for SL-deficient plants, exhibiting only a delay in establishing arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, but release exudates with a significantly decreased Striga seed-germinating activity. Blocking the biosynthesis of canonical SLs by TIS108, a specific enzyme inhibitor, significantly lowered Striga infestation without affecting rice growth. These results indicate that canonical SLs are not the determinant of shoot architecture and pave the way for increasing crop resistance by gene editing or chemical treatment.

放線菌Streptomyces antibioticusが有機体窒素から亜硝酸塩を培地に蓄積することを見出した。同培養条件において一酸化窒素酸化酵素flavohemoglobinと硝酸塩還元酵素を生産していることから、一酸化窒素合成酵素の由来の一酸化窒素生産能が示唆され、放線菌内で一酸化窒素、硝酸、そして亜硝酸を生産し、エネルギーを得ていることが示唆された。
