Article Synopsis
  • TCP transcription factors are crucial for plant growth and stress responses, but their function in the cold stress response of L. is not well understood.
  • This research identified a gene family in L., revealing 19 members with varying molecular weights and unstable proteins localized in the nucleus.
  • The study found that these genes contain elements responsive to hormones, light, and stress, with significant differential expression during cold stress and other conditions, suggesting they are key regulators in stress response mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • Winter rapeseed is crucial for northern China, but its cold resistance mechanisms need further exploration.
  • The study focuses on the role of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) proteins in the plant's cold response, analyzing gene expression under varying stress conditions.
  • Results show that certain genes are more active in cold-tolerant varieties and provide insights into the genetic factors that contribute to the plant's resilience against low temperatures.

Low ambient air temperature limits the growth and selection of crops in cold regions, and cold tolerance is a survival strategy for overwintering plants in cold winters. Studies of differences in transcriptional levels of winter rapeseed ( L.) under cold stress can improve our understanding of transcript-mediated cold stress responses.

Background: Low temperature is a major abiotic stress affecting the production of rapeseed in China by impeding plant growth and development. A comprehensive knowledge of small-RNA expression pattern in Brassica rapa under cold stress could improve our knowledge of microRNA-mediated stress responses.

Results: A total of 353 cold-responsive miRNAs, 84 putative novel and 269 conserved miRNAs, were identified from the leaves and roots of two winter turnip rape varieties 'Longyou 7' (cold-tolerant) and 'Tianyou 4' (cold-sensitive), which were stressed under - 4 °C for 8 h.
