Article Synopsis
- Overexpression of the MdLBD3 gene in Arabidopsis enhances the plant's resistance to salt and drought stress while also promoting early flowering.
- The study identifies and analyzes the LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARY DOMAIN (LBD) protein family in apples, noting the limited understanding of their roles in woody plants.
- Findings suggest that MdLBD3, localized in the nucleus and expressed in various tissues, could be a valuable genetic resource for breeding apples with improved tolerance to environmental stresses.
Nitrate is one of the main sources of nitrogen for plant growth. Nitrate transporters (NRTs) participate in nitrate uptake and transport, and they are involved in abiotic stress tolerance. Previous studies have shown that NRT1.

- Nitrogen is crucial for crop growth and quality, but excessive fertilizer use can cause environmental problems; thus, improving nitrogen use efficiency in crops is essential for sustainable agriculture.
- The MdNIA2 gene, identified in apples, plays a significant role in nitrogen metabolism and is closely related to a similar gene in another species, suggesting its importance in crop breeding.
- Ectopic expression of MdNIA2 in Arabidopsis enhances nitrogen use efficiency, root development, and increases tolerance to salt and drought, indicating its potential benefits for improving crop resilience.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted a study analyzing MdERF113 through bioinformatics, gene expression, and localization, finding it highly expressed in apple fruit and responsive to various stresses.
- * Overexpressing MdERF113 in apple calli made them less sensitive to drought, salinity, and low temperatures, suggesting MdERF113 helps regulate growth under these abiotic stresses as it is localized in the nucleus.
