Overexpression of histone demethylase gene SlJMJ18 and SlJMJ23 from tomato confers cadmium tolerance by regulating metal transport and hormone content in Arabidopsis.

A lower concentration of cadmium (Cd), a hazardous and non-essential element for plant growth, will have deleterious effects on plants and endanger human health. Histone demethylase (JHDM) is important for plants' ability to withstand abiotic stress, according to an increasing number of studies. The degree of expression of the SlJMJ18 and SlJMJ23 genes in different tomato tissues was confirmed by this study.

UDP-glycosyltransferase gene SlUGT73C1 from Solanum lycopersicum regulates salt and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana L.

Among abiotic stresses, plants are the most vulnerable to salt and drought stresses. These stresses affect plant growth and development. Glycosyltransferases are involved in the responses of plants to abiotic stresses.

Overexpression of histone demethylase gene SlJMJ524 from tomato confers Cd tolerance by regulating metal transport-related protein genes and flavonoid content in Arabidopsis.

Cadmium (Cd), as a heavy metal, not only negatively affects the development and yield of plants, but also threatens human health due to its accumulation in plants. Increasing evidences indicate that the JUMONJI-C DOMAIN-CONTAINING PROTEIN (JMJ) gene family plays a key role in regulating plant development and stress. Therefore, in this study, SlJMJ524, a 1254 bp gene encoding the jumonji C domain (417 amino acids), was highly expressed in tomato leaves and flowers.
