Article Synopsis
  • Hypocotyl elongation in plants is influenced by light (which inhibits it) and darkness (which promotes it), with the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) also playing an inhibitory role.
  • Recent studies have focused on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), specifically BoNR8 and AtR8, which are similar lncRNAs found in cabbage and Arabidopsis, respectively, and are involved in regulating hypocotyl elongation influenced by light and ABA.
  • The expression of BoNR8 and AtR8 affects key genes related to light signaling and ABA response, highlighting their joint role with ABI3 in regulating hypocotyl elongation under different light and hormonal conditions.

The moss () has strong desiccation tolerance. It can remain desiccated for years and yet recover within minutes of rehydration. Understanding the responses and mechanisms underlying this rapid rehydration capacity in bryophytes could identify candidate genes that improve crop drought tolerance.

Fragrance is an important characteristic of rose flowers and is largely determined by the terpenes. Rose has a unique NUDX1 (NUDIX HYDROLASES 1)-dependent monoterpene geraniol biosynthesis pathway, but little is known about its transcriptional regulation. In this study, we characterized two China rose () materials from the 'Old Blush' variety with contrasting aromas.
