Fig. 3 (shortened, full legend in paper): Evolutionary relationship of OAS-TL-related proteins across alga and land plants. Polygenetic tree of OAS-TL-related proteins in alga and land plants. The amino acid sequences of representative OAS-TL proteins were aligned by MUSCLE method and the phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining (NJ) method in the MEGA12 software. The tree was further modified in tvBOT online tool (Xie et al., 2023). OAS-TL proteins from the following species are included in the analysis: Charophyceae alga stonewort, two bryophytes (moss and liverwort), four monocotyledons (rice, maize, sorghum and foxtail millet) and four dicotyledons (Arabidopsis, soybean, tomato and grapevine). Clades (CysA, CysB, CysC, CS26, monocot-CysD and dicot-CysD) are color-coded to indicate the evolutionary groupings of the OAS-TL proteins.

🍇 RESEARCH 🍇 Sulfur deficiency in grapevines induces nitrogen overflow and reduces water use efficiency. While simultaneous low nitrogen alleviates this deficiency, additive effects occur, highlighting the critical sulfur–nitrogen balance - Lehr et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
Graphical Abstract (shortened, full abstract in paper):
Sulfur is an essential macronutrient, yet its role in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) physiology is poorly understood. Following reduced atmospheric sulfur deposition, sulfur fertilization is increasingly required to prevent deficiencies, which are difficult to diagnose before they impair grapevine—and subsequent wine—quality. Therefore, the metabolic responses of grapevines to isolated and combined sulfur and nitrogen deficiencies were investigated. Using a non-targeted metabolomics and ionomics approach under controlled sulfur and nitrogen supplies, it was shown that isolated sulfur deficiency led to a massive accumulation of nitrogen-rich amino acids and activation of the gamma-aminobutyric acid shunt.
