Atmospheric and room temperature plasma mutation and co-mutation with ethanol were employed to generate Haematococcus pluvialis mutants AV3 and AV8. These mutants were screened using multiple indices of chlorophyll fluorescence, quantum yield, lethality, growth rate, dry cell weight, and lipid content. Compared to the wild strain, the mutants demonstrated genetic stability (*p > 0.

- In experiments, potato plants were subjected to salinity and osmotic stress using NaCl and PEG, leading to an analysis of the StGATA family genes via qRT-PCR and the establishment of modified plants with varying gene expression.
- Results showed that overexpressing StGATA12 enhanced photosynthesis, transpiration, and stress resistance by regulating biochemical responses and gene activity, indicating its potential for improving potato plant resilience to environmental stresses.
Article Synopsis
- * In this study, 29 StATGs were identified and analyzed in potato, revealing their differential expression in various plant tissues and a response to drought and salt stresses.
- * Overexpressing StATG8a in potato led to significantly improved tolerance to drought and salt, while knockdown lines showed decreased tolerance, highlighting the potential of StATG8a in stress management.
Autophagy is a highly conserved process in eukaryotes that is used to recycle the cellular components from the cytoplasm. It plays a crucial function in responding to both biotic and abiotic stress, as well as in the growth and development of plants. Autophagy-related genes (ATG) and their functions have been identified in numerous crop species.
