| 1 | Acetylglutamate kinase is required for both gametophyte function and embryo development in Arabidopsis thaliana显示文摘The specific functions of the genes encoding arginine biosynthesis enzymes in plants are not well characterized. We report the isolation and characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana N-acetylglutamate kinase(NAGK), which catalyzes the second step of arginine biosynthesis. NAGK is a plastid-localized protein and is expressed during most developmental processes in Arabidopsis. Heterologous expression of the Arabidopsis NAGK gene in a NAGK-deficient Escherichia coli strain fully restores bacterial growth on arginine-deficient medium. nagk mutant pollen tubes grow more slowly than wild type pollen tubes and the phenotype is restored by either specifically through complementation by NAGK in pollen, or exogenous supplementation of arginine. nagk female gametophytes are defective in micropylar pollen tube guidance due to the fact that female gametophyte cell fate specification was specifically affected. Expression of NAGK in synergid cells rescues the defect of nagk female gametophytes. Lossof-function of NAGK results in Arabidopsis embryos not developing beyond the four-celled embryo stage. The embryo-defective phenotype in nagk/NAGK plants cannot be rescued by watering nagk/NAGK plants with arginine or ornithine supplementation. In conclusion,our results reveal a novel role of NAGK and arginine in regulating gametophyte function and embryo development, and provide valuable insights into arginine transport during embryo development. | Jie Huang Dan Chen Hailong Yan Fei Xie Ying Yu Liyao Zhang Mengxiang Sun Xiongbo Peng | 2017 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2017,59,9: | 4 |
| 2 | Atomic force microscopic view of the fine topography on the tobacco stigma surface during its response to pollination显示文摘During compatible pollination in tobacco, an extracellular matrix (ECM) is secreted from the stigma surface; however, it is unknown whether the pattern of secretion across the stigma depends on the pollen source. In fact, technical limitations have prevented clear observation of ECM secretion. Here, we report the detailed topographic changes on the stigma surface that accompanies intraspecies and interspecies pollination in tobacco using contact mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). Our results, which show the dynamics and time course of ECM secretion after pollination, indicate that a certain pattern of secretion already exists on the stigma prior to pollination. Intraspecies induced a two-step response, characterized by topographical changes on the stigma surface several hours after pollina-tion, which was distinct from the pattern of ECM secretion induced by interspecies pollination. This difference was confirmed by root-mean-square analysis, which assessed the roughness of the stigma surface. Our findings indicate that compatible pollination not only induces ECM secretion from the stigma, but also results in a specific distribution of the ECM. Thus, this study demonstrates the pow-erful potential of AFM in studying the pollen-stigma interaction. | WU Hui LI Meng SUN MengXiang | 2008 | Chinese Science Bulletin2008,53,7: | 4 |

| 6 | What we have learned from transcript profile analyses of male and female gametes in flowering plants显示文摘Double fertilization is one of the predominant features of sexual reproduction in flowering plants but, because of the physical inaccessibility of gametes, the essential molecular mechanisms in these processes are largely unknown. Based on the techniques for isolating highly purified gametes from several species and well-developed methods for manipulating RNA from limited quantities of gametes, genome-wide investigations of gamete transcription profiles were recently conducted in flowering plants. In this review, we survey the accumulated knowledge on gamete collection and purification, cDNA library construction, and transcript profile analysis to assess our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of gamete specialization and fertilization. | XIN HaiPing & SUN MengXiang Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education for Plant Developmental Biology, College of Life Science, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China | 2010 | Science China(Life Sciences)2010,53,8: | 1 |

| 8 | The impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on global grain market and food security:Short-and long-term effects显示文摘Since the 24th February 2022,Russia has been conducting extensive air and missile strikes against the Ukraine military they have also been conducting concurrent ground offensives beyond Crimea and the Donbas breakaway entities.Recent reports highlighted that Russia has continually advanced in different maneuver axes and at present,no one can predict when and how the Ukraine conflict will end.For over three months,the conflict has greatly influenced the global economy and sounded the alarm bells for global food safety,especially to those countries which greatly depend on food and chemical fertilizer import from Russia and Ukraine,as well as those countries sensitive to food price variation shock. | Mengxiang Sun | 2022 | Seed Biology2022,1,1: | 0 |

| 10 | RPL18aB helps maintain suspensor identity during early embryogenesis显示文摘During embryogenesis, plants are thought to use a mechanism that allows the suspensor to maintain its identity. Here, we reported that RPL_18aB is involved in this mechanism in Arabidopsis thaliana. The suspensor cells proliferated in rpl_18aB and formed a multicellular structure rather than undergo programmed cell death, as in wild type. Suspensors of rpl_18aB expressed the embryo proper marker, DRN::GFP, but not the suspensor marker, WOX8::GFP. In addition, auxin accumulated throughout the suspensors of rpl_18aB proembryos. Suspensor-specific expression of RPL_18aB could rescue the cell proliferation defects in rpl_18aB suspensors. These findings supported a role for RPL_18aB in maintaining suspensor identity. | fei xie hailong yan yang sun yameng wang hong chen wanying mao liyao zhang mengxiang sun xiongbo peng | 2018 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2018,60,4: | 0 |
