Polyploidy varieties have been reported to exhibit higher stress tolerance relative to their diploid relatives, however, the underlying molecular and physiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, a batch of autotetraploid were identified from a natural seedling population, and these tetraploid seedlings exhibited greater tolerance to drought stress than their diploids siblings. A global transcriptome analysis revealed that a large number of genes involved in photosynthesis response were enriched in tetraploids under drought stress, which was consistent with the changes in photosynthetic indices including P, gs, T, C, and chlorophyll contents.

Subsequent studies demonstrated the unique nature of , which was considered a distinct species that causes multiple symptoms on multiple hosts. It was recently identified as a pathogen that causes root rot of American ginseng.

However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain unknown. In this study, physiological and tandem mass tag-based proteomic analyses were performed to elucidate the mechanism of the Citrus junos response to cold stress.

Our previous research suggested that β-ODAP biosynthesis is related to sulfur metabolism. In this study, β-cyanoalanine synthase (β-CAS) was confirmed to be responsible for β-ODAP biosynthesis via enzymatic analysis.

However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms behind HS-regulated salt-stress tolerance in cucumber. Here, an integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis based on RNA-seq and 2-DE was used to investigate the global mechanism underlying HS-regulated salt-stress tolerance.

Emerging evidence suggests that hydrogen sulfide (HS), as a versatile signal molecule, can ameliorate salt stress-induced adverse effects. However, the possible physiological mechanism underlying HS-alleviated salt stress in cucumber remains unclear.

However, when germinated in exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), the primary roots grew parallel to the bottom of the Petri dish and asymmetrically, forming a horizontal curvature.
