NtPHT2;1 promotes tobacco growth by integrating chloroplast phosphate utilization with photosynthesis and carbon-nitrogen metabolism.

Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient required for plant growth and productivity, and its uptake and distribution are mediated by members of the phosphate transporter (PHT) family. Among them, the transporter PHT2.1 has been implicated in chloroplast phosphate homeostasis; however, its role in coordinating plant...

Auxin is involved in NtIAA17-mediated regulation of root development under salt stress in tobacco

NtGCN2 is associated with multilayer cadmium tolerance in tobacco via coordinated transcriptional changes in growth, antioxidant, and detoxification pathways

The findings suggest that NtGCN2 is associated with a putative transcriptional hub that may integrate growth, metabolism, and detoxification pathways, providing candidate genes and a testable framework for future functional validation.
