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.
It is suggested that heat stress suppresses PMF accumulation through coordinated repression of PMF biosynthetic genes and their potential regulators and offers potential targets for maintaining citrus nutritional quality under elevated temperatures.

It is found that the tobacco transcription factor EARLY FLOWERING 3 (NtELF3), which is highly expressed in tobacco leaves, positively regulates the accumulation of chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, rutin, scopoletin, and total polyphenols in tobacco middle leaves.

It is demonstrated that PlPAT1 functions as a positive regulator of salt stress tolerance, likely through modulating osmotic balance and enhancing reactive oxygen species scavenging capacity.

A genome-wide characterization of the FLZ gene family in apple and functionally characterized MdFLZ2 suggested MdFLZ2 as a positive regulator of drought and salt tolerance and highlighted its potential to serve as a genetic resource for abiotic stress improvement.

A novel MdXERICO-MdJAZ10 regulatory module is uncovered, in which MdXERICO negatively modulates apple salt tolerance by targeting MdJAZ10 for ubiquitin-dependent degradation, thereby suppressing the expression of ion-transport-related genes and disrupting sodium-potassium balance.
