Mechanism of zju‐miR156c‐mediated network in regulating witches' broom symptom of Chinese jujube

Molecular Plant Pathology (2024)

Yunjie Wang Zhi Luo Xuan Zhao Hongqiang Sun Jiaxin Liu

Abstract Jujube witches' broom, caused by phytoplasma, is a destructive disease of Chinese jujube. Studies have shown that zju‐miR156s play an important role in phytoplasma infection in jujube, but the regulatory mechanism between zju‐miR156c and witches' broom remains unexplored. In the current study, miRNA‐seq and gene expression analysis showed that zju‐miR156c was more highly induced in infected jujube plants than the other miRNAs and its target gene was ZjSPL3 . In addition, the expression levels of thymidylate kinase gene ( TMK JWB ) and secreted jujube protein (SJP1 JWB ) in diseased materials were higher than those in healthy controls. The expression level of zju‐miR156c was significantly upregulated, while ZjSPL3 was sharply downregulated and the content of cytokinin (CTK) significantly increased. Overexpression of zju‐miR156c in Arabidopsis significantly reduced the expression of AtSPL10 (homologous gene of ZjSPL3 ) but increased the content of CTK, and the transgenic plants exhibited witches' broom symptoms. In addition, yeast two‐hybrid and co‐immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that SJP1 JWB interacted with ZjERF18. Yeast one‐hybrid analysis showed that ZjERF18 could interact with the promoter of zju‐MIR156c. In conclusion, our results demonstrated a novel pathogenic module of ZjERF18‐zju‐miR156c‐ZjSPL3‐CTK has an important function in the formation of witches' broom caused by SJP1 JWB .

ZjMAPKK4 Interacted With ZjNAC78 Regulates Cold Tolerance Response in Jujube

Plant Cell & Environment (2025)

Qingfang Wang Chaofeng Qi Linxia Wang Min Li Yahong Niu

Jujube (Ziziphus ujuba Mill.) holds great importance as a fruit tree in China, with strong tolerance to drought and saline stress, but its growth is limited by vulnerability to cold stress. Consequently, the role of MAPK cascades in mediating jujube cold stress response remains unclear, with the specific function of ZjMAPKK4 in this context yet to be fully elucidated. Thus, in the current study, it was found that ZjMAPKK4 was significantly upregulated compared with other ZjMAPK cascade genes after cold treatment. Heterologous transformation of ZjMAPKK4 in Arabidopsis, VIGS-induced ZjMAPKK4 transiently silencing and overexpression of ZjMAPKK4 in jujube callus assays demonstrated that ZjMAPKK4 positively regulated the cold resistance of jujube. Furthermore, to elucidate the molecular regulation mechanism behind ZjMAPKK4 under cold stress, 25 key DEGs were screened out by transcriptome analysis. Yeast screening cDNA library, yeast two-hybrid, LCA and Co-IP analysis showed ZjMAPKK4 interacted with ZjNAC78 and VIGS-induced ZjNAC78 silenced sour jujube plants showed cold sensitivity and the expression level of cold response genes were downregulated after cold stress. All the results demonstrated that ZjMAPKK4 could interact with ZjNAC78 to regulate the downstream ZjICE-ZjCBF genes to regulate the cold tolerance of jujube.
