RESUMO

MAIN CONCLUSION: Auto-fluorescent condensed tannins specifically accumulated in mesophyll cells of non-salt secretor mangroves are involved in the compartmentation of Na+ and osmotic regulation, contributing to their salt tolerance. Salinity is a major abiotic stress affecting the distribution and growth of mangrove plants. The salt exclusion mechanism from salt secretor mangrove leaves is quite known; however, salt management strategies in non-salt secretor leaves remain unclear. In this study, we reported the auto-fluorescent inclusions (AFIs) specifically accumulated in mesophyll cells (MCs) of four non-salt secretor mangroves but absent in three salt secretors. The AFIs increased with the leaf development under natural condition, and applied NaCl concentrations applied in the lab. The AFIs in MCs were isolated and identified as condensed tannin accretions (CTAs) using the dye dimethyl-amino-cinnamaldehyde (DMACA), specific for condensed tannin (CT), both in situ leaf cross sections and in the purified AFIs. Fluorescence microscopy and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis indicated that the CTAs originated from the inflated chloroplasts. The CTAs had an obvious membrane and could induce changes in shape and fluorescence intensity in hypotonic and hypertonic NaCl solutions, suggesting CTAs might have osmotic regulation ability and play an important role in the osmotic regulation in MCs. The purified CTAs were labeled by the fluorescent sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate acetoxymethyl ester (SBFI-AM), confirming they were involved in the compartmentation of excess Na+ in MCs. This study provided a new view on the salt resistance-associated strategies in mangroves.

RESUMO

The ongoing co-circulation of multiple severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains necessitates advanced methods such as high-throughput multiplex pseudovirus systems for evaluating immune responses to different variants, crucial for developing updated vaccines and neutralizing antibodies (nAbs). We have developed a quadri-fluorescence (qFluo) pseudovirus platform by four fluorescent reporters with different spectra, allowing simultaneous measurement of the nAbs against four variants in a single test. qFluo shows high concordance with the classical single-reporter assay when testing monoclonal antibodies and human plasma. Utilizing qFluo, we assessed the immunogenicities of the spike of BA.5, BQ.1.1, XBB.1.5, and CH.1.1 in hamsters. An analysis of cross-neutralization against 51 variants demonstrated superior protective immunity from XBB.1.5, especially against prevalent strains such as "FLip" and JN.1, compared to BA.5. Our finding partially fills the knowledge gap concerning the immunogenic efficacy of the XBB.1.5 vaccine against current dominant variants, being instrumental in vaccine-strain decisions and insight into the evolutionary path of SARS-CoV-2.
