Addition of oleoyl-CoA (1µM), or other acyl-CoA thioesters with a chain length of C16 or greater, to oilseed rape plastids (Brassica napus L.) inhibited the rate of D-glucose 6-phosphate (Glc6P) uptake by 70% after 2min. The IC50 value for oleoyl-CoA inhibition of the transporter was approx. 0.2–0.3µM. Inhibition was alleviated by the addition of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) or BSA at slightly higher concentrations. Oleic acid (5–25µM), Tween 40 (10µM), Triton-X 100 (10µM) and palmitoylcarnitine (5µM) had no effect on Glc6P uptake. The uptake of [1-14C]Glc6P occurred in exchange for Pi, 3-phosphoglycerate or Glc6P at a typical rate of 30nmol Glc6P/min per unit of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP+). The Km(app) of the Glc6P transporter for Glc6P was 100µM. Neither CoA (0.3mM) nor ATP (3mM) inhibited Glc6P uptake, but the transporter was inhibited by 72% when ATP and CoA were added together. This inhibition was attributable to the synthesis of acyl-CoA thioesters, predominantly oleoyl-CoA and palmitoyl-CoA, by long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.3) from endogenous fatty acids in the plastid preparations. Acyl-CoA thioesters did not inhibit the uptake of [2-14C]pyruvate or D-[1-14C]glucose into plastids. In vivo quantities of oleoyl-CoA and other long-chain acyl-CoA thioesters were lower than those for ACBP in early cotyledonary embryos, 0.7±0.2pmol/embryo and 2.2±0.2pmol/embryo respectively, but in late cotyledonary embryos quantities of long-chain acyl-CoA thioesters were greater than ACBP, 3±0.4pmol/embryo and 1.9±0.2pmol/embryo respectively.

Endophytic bacteria hold tremendous potential for use as biocontrol agents. Our study aimed to investigate the biocontrol activity of Pseudomonas fluorescens BRZ63, a new endophyte of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) against Rhizoctonia solani W70, Colletotrichum dematium K, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum K2291, and Fusarium avenaceum. In addition, features crucial for biocontrol, plant growth promotion, and colonization were assessed and linked with the genome sequences. The in vitro tests showed that BRZ63 significantly inhibited the mycelium growth of all tested pathogens and stimulated germination and growth of oilseed rape seedlings treated with fungal pathogens. The BRZ63 strain can benefit plants by producing biosurfactants, siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, and ammonia as well as phosphate solubilization. The abilities of exopolysaccharide production, autoaggregation, and biofilm formation additionally underline its potential to plant colonization and hence biocontrol. The effective colonization properties of the BRZ63 strain were confirmed by microscopy observations of EGFP-expressing cells colonizing the root surface and epidermal cells of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0. Genome mining identified many genes related to the biocontrol process, such as transporters, siderophores, and other secondary metabolites. All analyses revealed that the BRZ63 strain is an excellent endophytic candidate for biocontrol of various plant pathogens and plant growth promotion.
