Understanding cold stress response mechanisms in plants: an overview.

Low-temperature stress significantly impacts plant growth, development, yield, and geographical distribution. However, during the long-term process of evolution, plants have evolved complicated mechanisms to resist low-temperature stress. The cold tolerance trait is regulated by multiple pathways, such as the Ca signaling cascade, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, inducer of CBF expression 1 (ICE1)-C-repeat binding factor (CBF)-cold-reulated gene (COR) transcriptional cascade, reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis regulation, and plant hormone signaling.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Pattern of MYB Family Transcription Factors in .

MYB family genes have many functions and are widely involved in plant abiotic-stress responses. is an important donor material for stress-resistance genes in sugarcane breeding. However, the family genes in have not been systematically investigated.

Complete genome sequence of biocontrol strain YC89 and its biocontrol potential against sugarcane red rot.

Introduction: Sugarcane is one of the most important sugar crops worldwide, however, sugarcane production is seriously limited by sugarcane red rot, a soil-borne disease caused by . YC89 was isolated from sugarcane leaves and can significantly inhibited red rot disease caused by .

Methods: In this study, the genome of YC89 strain was sequenced, its genome structure and function were analyzed using various bioinformatics software, and its genome was compared with those of other homologous strains.

The SsWRKY1 transcription factor of Saccharum spontaneum enhances drought tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and interacts with 21 potential proteins to regulate drought tolerance in S. spontaneum.

In this study, we characterized a WRKY family member gene, SsWRKY1, which is located in the nucleus and contains multiple stress-related cis-acting elements. In addition, constructed SsWRKY1-overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana had higher antioxidant enzyme activity and proline content under drought stress conditions, with lower malondialdehyde content and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and the expression levels of six stress-related genes were significantly upregulated. This indicates that the overexpression of SsWRKY1 in Arabidopsis thaliana improves resistance to drought stress.

Genome-Wide Identification, Evolution, and Expression Analyses of AP2/ERF Family Transcription Factors in .

The AP2/ERF transcription factor family is one of the most important gene families in plants and plays a vital role in plant abiotic stress responses. Although is very important in the genetic improvement of sugarcane, there are few studies concerning genes in . Here, we identified 145 genes in the genome.

Evaluation of genome size and phylogenetic relationships of the complex species.

Unlabelled: " complex" is a hypothetical group of species, which is supposed to be involved in the origin of modern sugarcane, and displays large genomes and complex chromosomal alterations. The utilization of restricted parents in breeding programs of modern cultivated sugarcane has resulted in a genetic blockage, which controlled its improvement because of the limited genetic diversity. The use of wild relatives is an effective way to broaden the genetic composition of cultivated sugarcane.

EfGD: the Erianthus fulvus genome database.

Erianthus fulvus (TaxID: 154759) is a valuable germplasm resource in sugarcane breeding and research and has excellent agronomic traits, such as drought resistance, cold resistance, barren tolerance and high brix. With a stable chromosome number (2n = 20) and a small genome (0.9 Gb), it is an ideal candidate for research on sugarcane.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the NAC transcription factor family in under different stresses.

The (, and ) transcription factor family is one of the largest families unique to plants and is involved in plant growth and development, organs, morphogenesis, and stress responses. The family has been identified in many plants. As the main source of resistance genes for sugarcane breeding, the gene family in the wild species has not been systematically studied.
