WRKY transcription factors in potato research: functional genetic manipulation for multi-stress resilience and crop improvement

FROM ARABIDOPSIS TO CROPS: THREE DECADES OF WRKY TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR NETWORKS UNDER BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC STRESS

This review integrates the previous thirty years of WRKY research from a translational standpoint and proposes a network-centric approach to future WRKY research that focuses on combinatorial perturbation, quantitative modulation, and field validation.

Integrating genomics, multi-omics, CRISPR and speed breeding for stress-resilient vegetable legume improvement

This review synthesizes advances in QTL mapping, genome-wide association studies, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and CRISPR-based functional genomics that have identified key regulators and pathways underlying resistance to major biotic and abiotic stresses into a systems-breeding framework to bridge the gap between ge...

Holistic approaches for improvement of maize resistance against lodging stress: current status and future perspective

Hormone priming and metabolic engineering of phytohormone crosstalk in rice under combined biotic and abiotic stresses: a multi-omics perspective for climate-resilient crop development

This synthesis provides a framework for translating mechanistic hormonal insights into field-applicable cultivars to ensure global food security and proposes a systems-level roadmap for developing climate-resilient rice cultivars capable of maintaining yield stability across a volatile combinatorial stress landscape.

Genomic Mechanisms of Plant Adaptation to Salinity and Drought Stress: Genes, Networks, and Evolutionary Implications

This review brings together recent advances in identifying genes, regulatory networks, and evolutionary strategies underlying plant responses to osmotic stress and examines natural variation in stress tolerance, highlighting genomic signatures of selection in halophytes and xerophytes that provide insights for crop imp...

Dual Regulation of the Rice Yield Traits and Stress Resilience by OsHSP20: Insights from Integrative Biochemical and Transcriptomic Analyses

Mechanistically, transcriptomic and functional analyses demonstrated that OsHSP20 maintains protein homeostasis under drought stress via its chaperone activity; this function orchestrates a coordinated regulatory network involving lipid barrier formation, antioxidant defense, and carbon allocation.
