“…In addition, it is one of the most profitable and widely consumed by its various products. In 2020, 251,687,023 tons were harvested [ 18 , 19 ]. A high-quality genome sequence for domesticated tomato has been assembled by the International Tomato Genome Sequencing Project and more than 34,000 proteins have been predicted, with functional descriptions assigned to 29,532 genes ( , accessed on 1 January 2022), which includes 1845 genes that code for transcription factors (TFs) [ 20 ].…”

Viroids are the smallest pathogens of angiosperms, consisting of non-coding RNAs that cause severe diseases in agronomic crops. Symptoms associated with viroid infection are linked to developmental alterations due to genetic regulation. To understand the global mechanisms of host viroid response, we implemented network approaches to identify master transcription regulators and their differentially expressed targets in tomato infected with mild and severe variants of PSTVd. Our approach integrates root and leaf transcriptomic data, gene regulatory network analysis, and identification of affected biological processes. Our results reveal that specific bHLH, MYB, and ERF transcription factors regulate genes involved in molecular mechanisms underlying critical signaling pathways. Functional enrichment of regulons shows that bHLH-MTRs are linked to metabolism and plant defense, while MYB-MTRs are involved in signaling and hormone-related processes. Strikingly, a member of the bHLH-TF family has a specific potential role as a microprotein involved in the post-translational regulation of hormone signaling events. We found that ERF-MTRs are characteristic of severe symptoms, while ZNF-TF, tf3a-TF, BZIP-TFs, and NAC-TF act as unique MTRs. Altogether, our results lay a foundation for further research on the PSTVd and host genome interaction, providing evidence for identifying potential key genes that influence symptom development in tomato plants.

Globe artichoke is propagated by seed (seed propagated, SP) or by plant (vegetative propagated, VP). To date, there is a lack of knowledge of how the propagation system affects the life cycle resource use and environmental performance of globe artichoke production. We combined energetic, exergetic, and environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) to explore “cradle-to-farm gate” resource use and environmental impacts of Mediterranean globe artichoke production using VP and SP. The cumulative energy and exergy were calculated using cumulative energy demand (CED) and cumulative exergy extraction from the natural environment (CEENE). The environmental impacts classified in different impact categories were assessed using the ReCiPe 2016 method. The functional units were 1 ton of artichoke heads (reflecting production efficiency) and 1 ha of cropped land (reflecting production intensity). The results show that the VP globe artichoke generate 14% lower CED (64,212 vs. 75,212 MJ ha−1) and 17% lower CEENE (88,698 vs. 106,664 MJexha−1) per 1 ha of land while 1 ton of product generates higher impact: 29% CED (5384.4 MJ vs. 4178.5 MJ ton−1) and 25% CEENE (7391.5 vs. 5927 MJex ton−1). On a mass basis, SP artichokes had lower water consumption (−18%), freshwater and marine ecotoxicity (−47%), and stratospheric ozone depletion (−32%), but a higher global warming (+19%), fossil (+36%) and mineral scarcity (+39%), and human toxicity-related impacts (+27%). At the endpoint level, VP globe artichoke has higher damage to human health (+13.4%) and ecosystem quality (+20.5%), but lower to resource availability (−24.5%). The single-score LCA analysis indicated that SP globe artichokes generate a 24% higher impact per 1 ha (1911.3 vs. 1452.7 points) but 14% less per unit of product (106 vs. 121.1 points). For both systems, water and fertilizer should be used more carefully and efficiently since the application of irrigation, fuel, and fertilizers were the major contributors to total environmental damage.

“…When analyzing their functional role at a protein-protein interaction level, we determined that four of these biomolecules have been previously associated with diverse plant hormones at a protein-protein interaction level, such as auxin-responsive factors (Solyc04g006990.2, Solyc03g113560.2), brassinosteroids (Solyc05g007210.2), as well as, jasmonate and cytokinins (bhlh92 isoform/ Solyc09g083360.2), Figure 5a. To deep insight into how these four hormones pathway-related miPs interact in each condition, we performed a mutual information algorithm analysis (26). These results suggest that bHLH miPs interactions in tomato hosts are distinctive among the three experimental conditions, Figure S2 Moreover, this analysis shows that these four biomolecules are present as regulators in the PSTVd-severe condition.…”

“…Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an agronomically important crop and has been used as a model for basic research in plant development [25]. This crop is one of the most widely grown greenhouse vegetables in the world [26]. In addition, it is one of the most profitable and widely consumed by its various products.…”

Viroids are minimal pathogens of angiosperms, consisting of non-coding RNAs that cause severe diseases in agronomic crops. Symptoms associated with viroid infection are linked to developmental alterations due to genetic regulation. To understand the global molecular mechanisms of host response, we implemented an omics approach to identify master transcription regulators (MTRs) and their differentially expressed targets in tomato infected with mild and severe variants of PSTVd. Our approach integrates root and leaf transcriptomic data, gene regulatory network analysis, and identification of affected biological processes. Overall, our results reveal that specific bHLH, MYB, and ERF transcription factors regulate genes involved in molecular mechanisms underlying critical signaling pathways. Functional enrichment of regulons shows that bHLH-MTRs are linked to metabolism and plant defense, while MYB-MTRs are involved in signaling regulation and hormone-related processes. Strikingly, a member of the bHLH-TF family have a potential specific role as a microprotein involved in the post-translational regulation of hormone signaling events. For the severe variant, ERF-MTRs are characteristic, while ZNF-TF, tf3a-TF, BZIP-TFs, and NAC-TF act as unique MTRs. Altogether, our results lay a foundation for further research on the PSTVd and host genome interaction, providing evidence for identifying potential key genes that influence symptom development in tomato plants.
