BpSRK1-mediated phosphorylation of BpERF3 relieves HDA6-dependent chromatin repression to enhance drought tolerance in birch.

Drought tolerance in plants requires rapid conversion of water-deficit signals into protective transcriptional and epigenetic programs. Although ERF transcription factors (TFs) are central regulators of stress-responsive gene expression, how drought-induced kinase signaling is coupled to chromatin regulation and antiox...

The BpZAT10-BpWRKY31 module enhances the drought tolerance and herbivore resistance of Betula platyphylla through the jasmonic acid signalling pathway

Birch (Betula platyphylla) is an important native species widely distributed in northeastern China. It faces various adverse environmental challenges during its natural growth, including drought and herbivory. Here, we identified a transcriptional regulatory module in birch, BpZAT10-BpWRKY31, that increases drought t...

BpMAPK6-mediated phosphorylation of BpDRE1B enhances drought tolerance in Betula platyphylla via activating GST for antioxidant defense.

It is demonstrated that BpDRE1B positively regulates drought tolerance in birch by upregulating BpGSTU8, highlighting its crucial role in drought adaptation and providing a theoretical foundation for breeding drought-resistant birch varieties.
