Bur., a versatile plant with medicinal, edible, landscaping, and ecological applications, holds significant economic value and boasts a long-standing history of utilization in China. Despite its robust adaptability, rapid growth, and extensive distribution, the current research gap concerning the physiological mechanisms underlying stem cutting propagation hampers the development of efficient strategies for commercial-scale propagation of , particularly for large-scale cultivation.

Mechanisms involved sodium (Na+) extrusion and compartmentation, intracellular membrane trafficking as well as redox homeostasis regulation play important roles in plant salt tolerance. In this study, we report that Patellin1 (PATL1), a membrane trafficking-related protein, modulates salt tolerance in Arabidopsis.

The conjugation of SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) to protein substrates is a reversible process (SUMOylation/deSUMOylation) that regulates plant development and stress responses. The essential metal copper (Cu) is required for normal plant growth, but excess amounts are toxic. The SUMO E3 ligase, SIZ1, and SIZ1-mediated SUMOylation function in plant tolerance to excess Cu.

Transcription factor ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE3 (ABI3) is known to play a major role in regulating seed dormancy, germination, seedling development as well as stress responses. ABI3 is conserved among land plants; however, its roles in non-seed plants under stress conditions have not been well characterized.

Both the modulation of 14-3-3 protein stability and the subcellular localization of these proteins are involved in salt tolerance in plants. Salt tolerance in plants is regulated by multiple signaling pathways, including the salt overly sensitive (SOS) pathway, of which the SOS2 protein is a key component.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Plants are sessile organisms that have the ability to integrate external cues into metabolic and developmental signals. The cues initiate specific signal cascades that can enhance the tolerance of plants to stress, and these mechanisms are crucial to the survival and fitness of plants. The adaption of plants to stresses is a complex process that involves decoding stress inputs as energy-deficiency signals.
