Echinochloa colona (junglerice) is a problematic global weed for many crops, primarily controlled with herbicides. Drought stress alters the overall plant physiology and reduces herbicide efficacy. This research aimed to study the joint effect of drought stress (DS) and recurrent selection with sublethal dose of herbicide on adaptive gene expression and herbicide efficacy on E. colona. Three factors were evaluated: (A) E. colona generation (G0, original population from susceptible standard; G1 and G2, progenies of recurrent selection); (B) herbicide treatment (florpyrauxifen-benzyl, 0.25×; glyphosate, 0.125×; quinclorac, 0.125× the recommended dose; and nontreated check); (C) DS (50% and 100% field capacity). Recurrent exposure to sublethal herbicide dose, combined with drought stress, favors the selection of plants less susceptible to the herbicide. Upregulation of defense (antioxidant) genes (APX: ascorbate peroxidase), herbicide detoxification genes (CYP450 family: cytochrome P450), stress acclimation genes (HSP: heat-shock protein, TPP: trehalose phosphate phosphatase, and TPS: trehalose phosphate synthase), and genes related to herbicide conjugation (UGT: UDP glucosyltransferase) in the G2 population was significant. Recurrent exposure to sublethal herbicide dose under drought stress reduces junglerice sensitivity to herbicide, seemingly due to “imprinted” upregulation of metabolic and protection genes in response to these stresses.

Epoxide hydrolase hydrates epoxides to vicinal diols in the phyto-oxylipin peroxygenase pathway resulting in the production of epoxy alcohols, dihydrodiols, triols and epoxides, including many lipid epoxides associated with resistance. Two epoxide hydrolase genes from Nicotiana benthamiana L., NbEH1.1 and NbEH1.2, were amplified from coding DNA of leaves during a susceptible response to the hemibiotrophic pathogens, Colletotrichum destructivum O’Gara, Colletotrichum orbiculare Berk. and Mont. von Arx. or Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci Wolf and Foster, or the hypersensitive resistance response to P. syringae pv. tabaci expressing avrPto. Increases in expression of NbEH1.1 generally occurred during the late biotrophic and necrotrophic stages in the susceptible responses and before the hypersensitive response. NbEH1.2 expression was not significantly induced by C. orbiculare but was induced by C. destructivum, P. syringae pv. tabaci and P. syringae pv. tabaci expressing avrPto, although to a lesser degree than NbEH1.1. Virus-induced gene silencing of NbEH1.1 delayed the appearance of lesions for C. destructivum, reduced populations of P. syringae pv. tabaci and increased populations of P. syringae pv. tabaci expressing avrPto. The importance of epoxide hydrolase during pathogen attack may be related to its roles in detoxification, signalling, or metabolism of antimicrobial compounds.

The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) is a plant-specific transcription factor family that plays crucial roles in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little is known about the function of bZIP genes in soybean. In this study, we isolated a bZIP gene, GmbZIP19, from soybean. A subcellular localization study of GmbZIP19 revealed its nucleus localization. We showed that GmbZIP19 expression was significantly induced by ABA (abscisic acid), JA (jasmonic acid) and SA (salicylic acid), but reduced under salt and drought stress conditions. Further, GmbZIP19 overexpression Arabidopsis lines showed increased resistance to S. sclerotiorum and Pseudomonas syringae associated with upregulated ABA-, JA-, ETH- (ethephon-)and SA-induced marker genes expression, but exhibited sensitivity to salt and drought stresses in association with destroyed stomatal closure and downregulated the salt and drought stresses marker genes’ expression. We generated a soybean transient GmbZIP19 overexpression line, performed a Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and found that GmbZIP19 bound to promoters of ABA-, JA-, ETH-, and SA-induced marker genes in soybean. The yeast one-hybrid verified the combination. The current study suggested that GmbZIP19 is a positive regulator of pathogen resistance and a negative regulator of salt and drought stress tolerance.
