Exercise and physical activity induces physiological responses in organisms, and adaptations in skeletal muscle, which is beneficial for maintaining health and preventing and/or treating most chronic diseases. These adaptations are mainly instigated by transcriptional responses that ensue in reaction to each individual exercise, either resistance or endurance. Consequently, changes in key metabolic, regulatory, and myogenic genes in skeletal muscle occur as both an early and late response to exercise, and these epigenetic modifications, which are influenced by environmental and genetic factors, trigger those alterations in the transcriptional responses. DNA methylation and histone modifications are the most significant epigenetic changes described in gene transcription, linked to the skeletal muscle transcriptional response to exercise, and mediating the exercise adaptations. Nevertheless, other alterations in the epigenetics markers, such as epitranscriptomics, modifications mediated by miRNAs, and lactylation as a novel epigenetic modification, are emerging as key events for gene transcription. Here, we provide an overview and update of the impact of exercise on epigenetic modifications, including the well-described DNA methylations and histone modifications, and the emerging modifications in the skeletal muscle. In addition, we describe the effects of exercise on epigenetic markers in other metabolic tissues; also, we provide information about how systemic metabolism or its metabolites influence epigenetic modifications in the skeletal muscle.

ABSTRACT Rugosa rugosa has high tolerance to various stresses; however, the molecular mechanisms of this behavior under adverse conditions are unclear. The objective of this study is to investigate expression patterns of stress-related genes in response to salinity stress. Changes in transcript levels of R. rugose, grown under different salt stress conditions (0, 25, 50, and 100 mM NaCl) over a long exposure period (30 days), have been investigated. In addition, the effects of salt shock stress on seedlings exposed to a high level (200 mM) of NaCl for a relatively short duration (3 h) have also been investigated. Expression levels of selected differentially expressed genes have been determined using relative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). It has been observed that seedlings exposed to salt stress for a long duration exhibited no signs of stress in both leaves and roots. In addition, expression of NHX1 in R. rugosa increased in the presence of NaCl. Furthermore, transcripts of EXP4, GPP, NHX1, NAC, and DREB genes also increased under high levels of NaCl. In contrast, expression levels of MYB and TIR decreased during this salt shock treatment. Of particular interest is the increase in levels of transcripts of NHX1 in leaves of seedlings grown under both salt stress and salt shock conditions, thus suggesting that this gene plays an important role in salt stress tolerance in R. rugosa. These findings will support efforts in enhancing salt tolerance in roses, and perhaps in other members of the Rosaceae family.

ABSTRACTDELLA proteins modulate GA signalling and are major regulators of plant plasticity to endure stress. DELLAs are mostly regulated at the post-translational level, and their activity relies on the interaction with upstream regulators and transcription factors (TFs). SUMOylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) capable of changing protein interaction and found to influence DELLA activity in Arabidopsis. We determined that SUMOylation of the single rice DELLA SLENDER RICE1 (SLR1) occurs in a lysine residue different from the one previously identified in Arabidopsis REPRESSOR OF GA (RGA). Remarkably, artificially increasing SUMOylated SLR1 (SUMO1SLR1) levels attenuated the penalty of salt stress on plant yield. Gene expression analysis revealed that the overexpression of SUMOylated SLR1 regulates key dioxygenases that modulate active GA levels, namely GA20ox2 and GA2ox3, which could partially explain the sustained productivity upon salt stress imposition. Besides, SLR1 SUMOylation blocked the interaction with the growth regulator YAB4, which may fine-tune GA20ox2 expression. Mechanistically, we propose that SLR1 SUMOylation disrupts the interaction with members of several transcription factor families to modulate gene expression. We found that SLR1 SUMOylation represents a novel mechanism modulating DELLA activity, which attenuates the impact of stress on plant performance.One sentence summaryRice plants show increased yield under salt stress when its gibberellin transcriptional regulator DELLA protein is artificially SUMOylated.
