We developed abscinazole-E1 (Abz-E1), a specific inhibitor of abscisic acid (ABA) 8'-hydroxylase (CYP707A). This inhibitor was designed and synthesized as an enlarged analogue of uniconazole (UNI), a well-known plant growth retardant, which inhibits a gibberellin biosynthetic enzyme (ent-kaurene oxidase, CYP701A) as well as CYP707A. Our results showed that Abz-E1 functions as a potent inhibitor of CYP707A and a poor inhibitor of CYP701A both in vitro and in vivo. Abz-E1 application to plants resulted in improved desiccation tolerance and an increase in endogenous ABA.

Background: Elucidating the intricacies of the sugarcane genome is essential for breeding superior cultivars. This economically important crop originates from hybridizations of highly polyploid Saccharum species. However, the large size (10 Gb), high degree of polyploidy, and aneuploidy of the sugarcane genome pose significant challenges to complete genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation.

Plants need to adapt to fluctuating atmospheric humidity and respond to both high and low humidity. Despite our substantial understanding of plant responses to low humidity, molecular mechanisms underlying the high humidity (HH) response are much less well understood. In this study, we investigated early responses to HH in .

Article Synopsis
- Lacquer trees, which are important for the economy, face stress from high summer temperatures, prompting a study of their responses using transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses.
- The research discovered significant changes in metabolites, with 224 being upregulated and 69 downregulated, alongside hormonal fluctuations where jasmonic acid increased while abscisic acid decreased.
- Key findings included the upregulation of specific genes linked to nitrogen transport and amino acid production, as well as 35 protein modules identified to be involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis, indicating complex regulatory mechanisms at play.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a signaling molecule that regulates plant senescence. In this study, we found that H2S delays dark-induced senescence in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) leaves. Transcriptome and RT-qPCR analyses revealed an Ethylene Response Factor ERF.
