Functional identification of the bHLH transcription factor MdSAT1 in response to Zn stress in apple

OsCSA Acts as an Upstream Activator of OsCOMT12 to Positively Regulate Copper Stress Tolerance in Rice.

Melatonin (MT) is a secondary metabolite that plays a role in environmental stress response in plants. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which MT alleviates excessive copper (Cu) toxicity in rice (Oryza sativa) remain unknown. Herein, exogenous MT application increased root and shoot biomass and in...

NtWHY1 negatively regulates tobacco cold tolerance via interfering with flavonoid biosynthesis

Results indicate that NtWHY1 protein acts as a cold-induced negative regulator that attenuates cold tolerance in tobacco by repressing flavonoid biosynthesis and compromising antioxidant capacity, providing new insights into transcription factor-mediated modulation of secondary metabolism under abiotic stress.

GsIRT3: a zinc-iron transporter gene from Glycine soja, enhancing alkali stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

The results displayed that GsIRT3 OX lines performed better under alkali stress than wild-type (WT) plants in terms of higher root lengths and fresh biomass and suggest the positive roles of GsIRT3 in alkali stress tolerance mechanisms.

The MdZAT5-MdAGL42 transcriptional regulatory module enhances aluminum tolerance via enhancing ROS scavenging in apple

Aluminum (Al) toxicity induced by soil acidification is a global environmental concern that threatens agricultural production and ecosystem health in acid-soil regions. To advance the breeding of Al-tolerant crops and support ecological restoration, this study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying Al...

Physiological and transcriptomic analyses reveal the critical role of MsERF15 in negatively regulating cadmium stress tolerance in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa).

A NAC-MYB-cysteine regulatory module enhances drought and salt tolerance in soybean.

Drought and salinity are two major factors limiting soybean productivity worldwide, and both stresses can negatively affect plant growth in similar manners by disrupting cellular redox homeostasis and metabolism. However, the regulatory networks coordinating transcriptional control and metabolic adaptation under both t...
