Drought, which directly affects the yield of crops and trees, is a natural stress with a profound impact on the economy. Improving water use efficiency (WUE) and drought tolerance are relatively effective strategies to alleviate drought stress. OPEN STOMATA1 (OST1), at the core of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, can improve WUE by regulating stomatal closure and photosynthesis.

The flower development process of higher plants is essential for genetic improvement. Nevertheless, the reproduction difference between polyploidy and the polyploid florescence regulatory network from the perspective of microRNA (miRNA) remains to be elucidated.

Compared to flower color and red leaf mutants, the mechanism of yellow leaf formation in woody plants is more complicated and less understood. Poplars are common and widely distributed perennial trees. Here, we obtained a golden leaf mutant poplar variety (JHY) and compared it with its original green leaf poplar (.

Differences in gene composition and expression patterns lead homologous polyploid plants to exhibit different physiological phenomena, among which enhanced environmental adaptability is a powerful phenotype conferred by polyploidization. The mechanisms underlying the differences in stress tolerance between diploids and autotetraploids at the molecular level remain unclear.
