Integrative transcriptomic and functional analyses identify TaARF in the auxin response pathway as a hub gene conferring multi-stage heat tolerance in wheat
Heat stress severely impacts the growth, development, and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) throughout its lifecycle. Identifying key genes regulating heat tolerance is crucial for breeding climate-resilient wheat cultivars. In this study, Zhenongmai 1 (ZNM1), a heat-tolerant wheat cultivar from Zhejiang Province,...
