Chromosome-scale genome sequence of sheds light on salt stress tolerance in halophytes.

Soil salinity is a growing concern for global crop production and the sustainable development of humanity. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend salt tolerance mechanisms and identify salt-tolerance genes to enhance crop tolerance to salt stress. , a halophyte species well adapted to the seawater environment, possesses a unique ability to absorb and retain high salt concentrations within its cells, particularly in its leaves, suggesting the presence of a distinct mechanism for salt tolerance.

The genome size, chromosome number and the seed adaption to long-distance dispersal of (L.).

(L.) (IPC) is a common species in tropical and subtropical coastal areas and one of the world's most widely distributed plants. It has attracted researchers for its outstanding biological, ecological and medicinal values.

Assembly, annotation, and comparative analysis of Ipomoea chloroplast genomes provide insights into the parasitic characteristics of Cuscuta species.

In the family, around 1650 species belonging to 60 genera are widely distributed globally, mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions of America and Asia. Although a series of chloroplast genomes in were reported and investigated, the evolutionary and genetic relationships among the chloroplast genomes of the family have not been extensively elucidated till now. In this study, we first reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of , a widely distributed coastal plant with medical values.

Investigation of the JASMONATE ZIM-DOMAIN Gene Family Reveals the Canonical JA-Signaling Pathway in Pineapple.

JASMONATE ZIM-DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins are negative regulators of the jasmonate (JA)-signaling pathway and play pivotal roles in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Genome-wide identification of JAZ genes has been performed in many plant species. However, systematic information about pineapple ( L.

ROS and Oxidative Response Systems in Plants Under Biotic and Abiotic Stresses: Revisiting the Crucial Role of Phosphite Triggered Plants Defense Response.

Phosphite (Phi) is a chemical analog of orthophosphate [HPO ]. It is a systemic pesticide generally known to control the prevalence of oomycetes and soil-borne diseases such as , , and species. Phi can also control disease symptoms and the spread of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and nematodes.
