The dual-action evolutionarily conserved NatB catalytic subunit NAA20 regulates poplar root development in response to salt and osmotic stresses.

In Populus simonii, the N-terminal acetyltransferase subunit gene PsiNAA20 was induced by salt stress and osmotic stress and regulates root development. The spatiotemporal specificity of PsiNAA20-interacting gene expression and translation efficiency suggested dual functions in poplar root development under salt stress and osmotic stress.

Identification of key genes involved in lignin and flavonoid accumulation during Tilia tuan seed maturation.

Transcriptomics and phenotypic data analysis identified 24 transcription factors (TFs) that play key roles in regulating the competitive accumulation of lignin and flavonoids. Tilia tuan Szyszyl. (T.

Dynamic physiological and transcriptome changes reveal a potential relationship between the circadian clock and salt stress response in Ulmus pumila.

Despite the important role the circadian clock plays in numerous critical physiological responses in plants, such as hypocotyl elongation, leaf movement, stomatal opening, flowering, and stress responses, there have been no investigations into the effect of the circadian clock on physiological and transcriptional networks under salt stress. Ulmus pumila L. has been reported to tolerate 100-150 mM NaCl treatment.
