Article Synopsis
- * A study identified 80 TCS-related genes in cabbage, revealing gene conservation through phylogenetic relationships and gene structure analysis, with most expansions occurring via segmental duplication across all nine chromosomes.
- * Significant expression variation in specific genes during stress responses was observed, particularly under shade stress, indicating their potential for genetic manipulation to enhance plant yield and stress resistance.
Background: Wheat is a staple cereal food around the globe. It provides a significant source of proteins, carbohydrates, and other micronutrients to humans. When grown on cadmium (Cd) contaminated soils, the uptake of trace elements .

Two spring-planted bread wheat cultivars: Zincol-16 (Zn-efficient) and Anaj-17 (Zn-inefficient with high-yield potential) were treated with either zinc (10 kg/ha), iron (12 kg/ha), or their combination to study their effect on some growth attributes (plant height, tillers, and spike length, etc.,), productivity, and quality.

- Potassium is essential for plant health, making up to 10% of a plant's dry weight, and plants have complex systems to transport it from the soil to their various parts.
- The study identified 39 potassium transport genes in a specific plant, categorizing them into transporters and channels, with discovery of conservation in their structure and function across species.
- Analysis showed that many of these genes are involved in responses to abiotic stresses like salt, heat, and drought, and their expression changes when plants face these stresses, indicating their importance in maintaining plant health.
