Molecular characterization of REM genes in Cajanus cajan suggests the role of CcREM1 and CcREM6 like genes in heat stress response.

The increasing temperature is a major threat to plant growth and development. It severely alters various biochemical and physiological processes and ultimately affects the overall crop yield. The membrane-based remorin protein-encoding genes (REM) were previously reported as significantly involved in the regulation of various biotic and abiotic stressors.

Physio-biochemical and molecular mechanisms of low nitrogen stress tolerance in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.).

Nitrogen (N) is a major plant nutrient and its deficiency can arrest plant growth. However, how low-N stress impair plant growth and its related tolerance mechanisms in peanut seedlings has not yet been explored. To counteract this issue, a hydroponic study was conducted to explore low N stress (0.

A novel transcription factor OsMYB73 affects grain size and chalkiness by regulating endosperm storage substances' accumulation-mediated auxin biosynthesis signalling pathway in rice.

Enhanced grain yield and quality traits are everlasting breeding goals. It is therefore of great significance to uncover more genetic resources associated with these two important agronomic traits. Plant MYB family transcription factors play important regulatory roles in diverse biological processes.

Modern Plant Breeding for Achieving Global Food Security.

Modern plant breeding technologies have played a central role in addressing global food security challenges. These technologies, including next-generation sequencing (NGS) and multi-omics analysis, genome-wide association analysis (GWAS), genome editing and transgenics, machine learning, and speed breeding, have been improving crop yield and quality as well as crop adaptability under climate change conditions, such as tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. Furthermore, identification, searching, assessment, and combining desirable integrated (morphological, physiological, and biochemical) attributes have been achieved with greater accuracy, efficiency, time, and cost-effectiveness, all of which are essential to meeting global food demands.

Exploring plant-microbe interactions in adapting to abiotic stress under climate change: a review.

Climatic change and extreme weather events have become a major threat to global agricultural productivity. Plants coexist with microorganisms, which play a significant role in influencing their growth and functional traits. The rhizosphere serves as an ecological niche encompassing plant roots and is a chemically complex environment that supports the growth and development of diverse plant-interactive microbes.

Genome-wide profiling of bZIP transcription factors in Camelina sativa: implications for development and stress response.

Background: The bZIP transcription factor family, characterized by a bZIP domain, plays vital roles in plant stress responses and development. While this family has been extensively studied in various plant species, its specific functions in Camelina sativa (False Flax) remain underexplored.

Methods And Results: This study identified 71 bZIP transcription factors in C.

Characterizing the impact of CPSF30 gene disruption on TuMV infection in .

CPSF30, a key polyadenylation factor, also serves as an mA reader, playing a crucial role in determining RNA fate post-transcription. While its homologs mammals are known to be vital for viral replication and immune evasion, the full scope of CPSF30 in plant, particular in viral regulation, remains less explored. Our study demonstrates that CPSF30 significantly facilitates the infection of turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) in , as evidenced by infection experiments on the engineered mutant.

Integrated analysis of yield response and early stage biochemical, molecular, and gene expression profiles of pre-breeding rice lines under water deficit stress.

Breeding high yielding water-deficit tolerant rice is considered a primary goal for achieving the objectives of the sustainable development goals, 2030. However, evaluating the performance of the pre-breeding-promising parental-lines for water deficit tolerance prior to their incorporation in the breeding program is crucial for the success of the breeding programs. The aim of the current investigation is to assess the performance of a set of pre-breeding lines compared with their parents.

Efficacy of various amendments for immobilization of potentially toxic elements in wastewater contaminated soils.

Farmers are using municipal wastewater either treated or untreated for irrigation because of limited fresh water resources. Wastewater extensively used for irrigation purposes is enriched with many nutrients. The reuse of wastewater is imposing a negative impact on human health and the ecosystem.

Analysis of dataset on reduction of high temperature stress by green net shade alleviate oxidative stress and augments the growth and vase life of gladiolus cut flower.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of green net shade during staggered planting times on growth, biochemical, antioxidant enzymes and vase life of gladiolus cut flowers. The green net shade effectively reduces the internal temperature, particularly during extremely hot planting times. Under the green net shade conditions, high quality morphological and biochemical observations were observed during the months of March and April planting times.

In-silico analysis and transformation of OsMYB48 transcription factor driven by CaMV35S promoter in model plant - L. conferring abiotic stress tolerance.

Global crop yield has been affected by a number of abiotic stresses. Heat, salinity, and drought stress are at the top of the list as serious environmental growth-limiting factors. To enhance crop productivity, molecular approaches have been used to determine the key regulators affecting stress-related phenomena.

The comparative transcriptome analysis of two green super rice genotypes with varying tolerance to salt stress.

Background: Salinity is one of the main abiotic factors that restrict plant growth, physiology, and crop productivity is salt stress. About 33% of the total irrigated land suffers from severe salinity because of intensive underground water extraction and irrigation with brackish water. Thus, it is important to understand the genetic mechanism and identify the novel genes involved in salt tolerance for the development of climate-resilient rice cultivars.

Comparative genomics of light harvesting chlorophyll (LHC) gene family and impact of chlorophyll-A contents under drought stress in Helianthus annuus.

Drought is one of the main environmental stressors that can alter the water status of plants; negatively affect growth, assimilation, and photosynthesis; and eventually reduce crop yield. We explored the dependence of drought tolerance traits on chlorophyll-A content. Local sunflower cultivars (FH-01, FH-628, FH-633, FH-572, and FH-653) were grown in pots and subjected to drought by withholding water for 10, 15, or 20 d.
