Article Synopsis
- * Four priming agents (HO, PEG, ABA, KNO) were tested, with PEG (10%) and ABA (0.5 μM) showing the best results in enhancing germination and growth in salt-stressed kenaf.
- * Seed priming not only boosts germination and plant growth but also improves photosynthesis, increases antioxidant activity, and reduces harmful compounds in plants under salt stress.

Article Synopsis
- The study identifies and analyzes 141 bHLH transcription factors in kenaf, highlighting their role in plant development and stress tolerance.
- Phylogenetic analysis showed these factors are distributed across 18 chromosomes and categorized into 20 subfamilies, with some being responsive to abiotic stresses like salt and drought.
- The research validates the function of a specific bHLH gene in stress resistance through gene silencing techniques, revealing its impact on antioxidant activity and plant growth.
Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channels (CNGCs) serve as Ca permeable cation transport pathways, which are involved in the regulation of various biological functions such as plant cell ion selective permeability, growth and development, responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. At the present study, a total of 31 CNGC genes were identified and bioinformatically analyzed in kenaf. Among these genes, HcCNGC21 characterized to localize at the plasma membrane, with the highest expression levels in leaves, followed by roots.

- Kenaf shows promise for cleaning up heavy metals from soils, but research on how it handles cadmium (Cd) accumulation and tolerance is lacking.
- This study compares two kenaf cultivars, one sensitive ('Z') and one tolerant ('F'), revealing that 'F' withstands Cd stress better by increasing antioxidant enzymes and having more polysaccharides in its root cell wall to bind Cd.
- A total of 3,439 genes were found to respond to Cd treatment, implicating pathways related to plant hormone signaling and cell wall metabolism, with specific genes identified as critical for Cd uptake, transport, and detoxification in kenaf.
Flowering promoting factor (FPF) genes play a substantial regulatory role in the process of flowering. In the present study, four MiFPF genes, namely, MiFPF1, MiFPF2, MiFPF3a, and MiFPF3b, were obtained from mango (Mangifera indica L.).

Kenaf is an important natural fiber crop with strong heterosis and a higher tolerance to heavy metals. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of kenaf heavy metal tolerance, especially the mechanism of genomic DNA methylation regulating heterosis.
