“…Previous studies found SA in chlorophytes and the charophytes Chara braunii and Klebsormidium nitens, generally at higher concentrations, although even in land plants the endogenous SA levels are known to vary (Hackenberg & Pandey, 2014;Hori et al, 2014;Jia et al, 2023 and references therein). Indeed, SA is apparently found ubiquitously in the green lineage (Jia et al, 2023), which is consistent with our results. Two main independent pathways for SA biosynthesis exist in plants, of which the ꞵ-oxidationbased is likely conserved in the green lineage (Jia et al, 2023).…”

“…Studies in bryophytes, the monophyletic sister lineage to vascular plants (Puttick et al, 2018;Harris et al, 2020;Su et al, 2021), revealed that many molecular pathways underlying phytohormone responses are functionally conserved between bryophytes and angiosperms , and thus were likely present in the common ancestor of all extant land plants. These include auxin biosynthesis, parts of metabolism, signaling and transport (Viaene et al, 2014;Bennett et al, 2014;Eklund et al, 2015;Flores-Sandoval et al, 2015;Kato et al, 2017 and2018;Mutte et al, 2018;Thelander et a., 2018;Suzuki et al, 2022), cytokinin biosynthesis and signaling (Yevdakova & von Schwartzenberg, 2007;Coudert et al, 2019;Rashotte, 2021), abscisic acid biosynthesis and signaling (Takezawa et al, 2015;Sun et al, 2020), strigolactone biosynthesis and strigolactone/karrikin signaling (Proust et al, 2011;Lopez-Obando, 2021;Kodama et al, 2022) and the signaling of jasmonates (Monte et al, 2018;Penuelas et al, 2019), salicylic acid (Jia et al, 2023) and ethylene (Yasumura et al, 2012 and. By contrast, gibberellin and brassinosteroid signaling emerged in vascular plants and euphyllophytes, respectively (Wang & Mao, 2014;Hernandez-Garcia et al, 2021;Zheng et al, 2022).…”

Multiple phytohormones act as conserved developmental regulators in land plants. Although the closely related streptophyte green algae typically lack full complements of molecular pathways underlying these responses, scattered reports of endogenous phytohormone production in these organisms exist. In this study, we performed a detailed LC/MS-based analysis of several phytohormones, their precursors and metabolites in all lineages of streptophyte algae. We also included chlorophyte algae and early-diverging land plants as outgroups. Free auxin, tRNA-derived cytokinins and certain phenolics including salicylic acid were found ubiquitously. However, land plants differed from green algae by the consistent detection of abscisic acid and the presence of auxin and cytokinin conjugates and trans-zeatin, supporting the hypotheses that these three phytohormones likely came to regulate development in the ancestral land plant. By contrast, we observed a patchy distribution of jasmonates among streptophytes. We additionaly analyzed the corresponding culture and empty media to account for phytohormone excretion and environmental contamination. Extracellular auxins and cytokinins were frequently detected, while agar constituted a major external source of phenolic compounds. We provide a highly comprehensive evolution-directed screen of phytohormone compound occurrence and thoroughly discuss our data in the context of current plant hormonomics and phylogenomics.

“…Thus, data on the effects of SA on plant physiological processes under stressed or non-stressed conditions remain debatable [ 106 ], but generally it can be recognized that SA has a positive effect on plant responses to many abiotic stresses such as heat, chilling, salinity, drought, and heavy metal toxicity [ 60 , 84 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 ]. The diverse impact of SA on different plant species may be due to the diversification of the SA signaling and biosynthesis pathways in plants [ 117 ].…”

Dramatic climate change has led to an increase in the intensity and frequency of drought episodes and, together with the high light conditions of the Mediterranean area, detrimentally influences crop production. Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to supress phototoxicity, offering photosystem II (PSII) photoprotection. In the current study, we attempted to reveal the mechanism by which SA is improving PSII efficiency in oregano seedlings under moderate drought stress (MoDS). Foliar application of SA decreased chlorophyll content under normal growth conditions, but under MoDS increased chlorophyll content, compared to H2O-sprayed oregano seedlings. SA improved the PSII efficiency of oregano seedlings under normal growth conditions at high light (HL), and under MoDS, at both low light (LL) and HL. The mechanism by which, under normal growth conditions and HL, SA sprayed oregano seedlings compared to H2O-sprayed exhibited a more efficient PSII photochemistry, was the increased (17%) fraction of open PSII reaction centers (qp), and the increased (7%) efficiency of these open reaction centers (Fv′/Fm′), which resulted in an enhanced (24%) electron transport rate (ETR). SA application under MoDS, by modulating chlorophyll content, resulted in optimized antenna size and enhanced effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (ΦPSII) under both LL (7%) and HL (25%), compared to non-SA-sprayed oregano seedlings. This increased effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (ΦPSII) was due to the enhanced efficiency of the oxygen evolving complex (OEC), and the increased fraction of open PSII reaction centers (qp), which resulted in an increased electron transport rate (ETR) and a lower amount of singlet oxygen (1O2) production with less excess excitation energy (EXC).

“…Previously, we have found that OsAIM1‐dependent β‐oxidation is required for SA biosynthesis in rice roots (Xu et al ., 2017). A recent study found that AIM1‐dependent β‐oxidation is required for the biosynthesis of SA in chlorophyte algae (Jia et al ., 2023). In this study, we have further found that OsAIM1 is crucial for the biosynthesis of high levels of basal SA in rice shoots.…”

The basal levels of salicylic acid (SA) vary dramatically among plant species. In the shoot, for example, rice contains almost 100 times higher SA levels than Arabidopsis. Despite its high basal levels, neither the biosynthetic pathway nor the biological functions of SA are well understood in rice.Combining with metabolite analysis, physiological, and genetic approaches, we found that the synthesis of basal SA in rice shoot is dependent on OsAIM1, which encodes a betaoxidation enzyme in the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) pathway.Compromised SA accumulation in the Osaim1 mutant led to a lower shoot temperature than wild-type plants. However, this shoot temperature defect resulted from increased transpiration due to elevated steady-state stomatal aperture in the mutant. Furthermore, the high basal SA level is required for sustained expression of OsWRKY45 to modulate the steadystate stomatal aperture and shoot temperature in rice.Taken together, these results provide the direct genetic evidence for the critical role of the PAL pathway in the biosynthesis of high basal level SA in rice, which plays an important role in the regulation of steady-state stomatal aperture to promote fitness under stress conditions.
