Annexins in plants constitute a multigene family and there is growing evidence for their involvement in response to various stress treatments. We have cloned and characterized six different annexin genes from mustard. The transcript regulation of these genes was studied in treatments with various signaling molecules, osmotic stress, oxidative stress conditions and wounding. All these annexins were found to be reponsive to Abscisic acid (ABA). Two genes (AnnBj1 and AnnBj3) were found to respond to most of the stress conditions, which suggest their possible role in cross-talk in multiple signaling pathways. Wound response signal methyl jasmonate (mJA) caused rapid and high expression of AnnBj4. We extended our previous study and showed that transgenic tobacco plants heterologously expressing AnnBj1 evidenced mannitol induced ROS detoxification. These results suggest Brassica annexins may have potential role in alleviating abiotic stress, which should be characterized by in vivo function based studies through silencing by RNAi or overexpression in transgenic plants.

The involvement of Loose Plant Architecture 1 (LPA1) in regulating plant growth and leaf angle has been previously demonstrated. However, the fundamental genetic background remains unidentified. To further understand the tissue expression profile of the NtLPA1 gene, an overexpression vector (pBI121-NtLPA1) was developed and employed to modify tobacco using the leaf disc method genetically.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of the PhoA family is an important enzyme in mammals, microalgae, and certain marine bacteria. It plays a crucial role in the dephosphorylation of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and nucleotides, which overstimulate cell signaling pathways and cause tissue inflammation in animals and humans. Insufficient ALP activity and expression levels have been linked to various disorders.

Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs), one sub-family of aquaporins (AQPs), are responsible for plant abiotic stress responses. However, little information is currently available about the stress responsiveness of the promoter in vegetable pea. In the present study, one novel promoter of which shared high similarity to the -type from other plants, was isolated.

Article Synopsis
- Low-temperature stress is a major challenge for apple production, and galactinol acts as a key cryoprotectant.
- Exogenous application of galactinol on apple saplings was shown to reduce damage from cold stress, and transgenic plants overexpressing the MdGolS5 gene exhibited increased cold tolerance.
- The study highlights the potential of galactinol and its biosynthetic pathway in enhancing cold resistance in apples, providing insights for future genetic improvements.
