Article Synopsis
  • The heat shock transcription factor (HSF) family in plants is key for responding to stressors like heat, salt, and drought, and researchers identified 22 HSFs in garlic using transcriptome data.
  • Through bioinformatics, three subfamilies of HSFs were characterized, and RT-qPCR revealed varying responses of nine selected genes to heat stress.
  • The isolated HSF gene AsHSFB1, when overexpressed in Arabidopsis thaliana, led to poorer stress resistance compared to wild-type plants, indicating its potential negative regulatory role in garlic’s response to high stress.

With global warming, heat stress has become an important factor that seriously affects crop yield and quality. Therefore, understanding plant responses to heat stress is important for agricultural practice, but the molecular mechanism of high-temperature tolerance in garlic remains unclear. In this study, 'Xusuan No.

TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), a core kinase of antiviral pathways, activates the production of interferons (IFNs). It has been reported that deacetylation activates TBK1; however, the precise mechanism still remains to be uncovered. We show here that during the early stage of viral infection, the acetylation of TBK1 was increased, and the acetylation of TBK1 at Lys241 enhanced the recruitment of IRF3 to TBK1.
