Enhancing drought tolerance in horticultural plants through plant hormones: a strategic coping mechanism.

Abiotic stresses are considered as a significant factor restricting horticultural crop productivity and quality. Drought stress is a major environmental constraint among the emerging concerns. Plants have significant susceptibility to drought stress, resulting in a marked decline in production during the last several decades.

Two Carya Species, and , Used as Rootstocks Point to Improvements in the Heat Resistance of .

Grafting as a crucial horticultural technique has been widely used in the cultivation of (Chinese hickory), which is a unique and important economic tree in the northeast of Zhejiang Province and the south of Anhui Province. However, the existing literature lacks research on the potential impact of various rootstocks on the thermal tolerance of Chinese hickory. The objectives of this study were to evaluate heat tolerance in four distinct groups of Chinese hickory, including grafted onto and , one self-grafted group ( grafted onto ), and one non-grafted group ().

Melatonin Interaction with Other Phytohormones in the Regulation of Abiotic Stresses in Horticultural Plants.

Horticultural crops play a vital role in global food production, nutrition, and the economy. Horticultural crops are highly vulnerable to abiotic stresses. These abiotic stresses hinder plant growth and development by affecting seed germination, impairing photosynthetic activity, and damaging root development, thus leading to a decrease in fruit yield, quality, and productivity.

Combined transcriptomic and physiological analyses reveal RyALS3-mediated aluminum tolerance in Franch.

(Ericaceae) not only has ornamental value, but also has great medicinal and edible values. Many species are native to acid soils where aluminum (Al) toxicity limits plant productivity and species distribution. However, it remains unknown how adapts to acid soils.

Identification of miRNAs and Their Target Genes Associated with Sweet Corn Seed Vigor by Combined Small RNA and Degradome Sequencing.

High seed vigor is significant for agriculture. Low seed vigor of sweet corn hindered the popularization of sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata Sturt).

Molecular identification and analysis of Cd-responsive microRNAs in rice.

Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential heavy metal with high toxicity to plants. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in plant abiotic stress responses. To investigate whether miRNAs function in Cd stress response, miRNA expression profiles in rice ( Oryza sativa ) under Cd stress were monitored using microarray assays.
