Arabidopsis thaliana delta1-pyrroline-5-carhoxylate synthase 1 gene (P5CS1) cDNA was cloned under the control of the potent constitutive 35S RNA promoter of the cauliflower mosaic virus and transferred into genome of tobacco cv. Petit Havana SR-1 (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants. It is shown that the constitutive level of proline in the transgenic plants T0 exceeds that of the SR1 reference line by 1.5 to 4 times. Under conditions of salt stress (200, 300 mM NaCl) T1-generation transgenic plants in early stages of development formed a large biomass, developed more quickly, and had a higher rate of root growth compared to the control, which confirms the involvement of the P5CS1 gene in molecular mechanisms of stress resistance in plants.

Article Synopsis
- Pugionium cornutum demonstrates strong tolerance to drought, salt, and disease, but the ways it copes with these stresses are not well understood.
- In this study, researchers identified the PcNAC25 transcription factor gene, which is linked to stress response and enhances drought and salt tolerance when overexpressed in Arabidopsis.
- The findings suggest that PcNAC25 acts as a positive regulator by boosting ROS-scavenging enzyme activity and promoting root growth, paving the way for more research on its regulatory mechanisms against environmental stresses.

Background: Soil salinity is an important environmental component affecting plant growth and yield, but high-salinity soils are a major constraint to the development of the grape industry. Previous studies have provided lines of evidence that gibberellins (GAs) play a significant regulatory role in plant responses to salt stress. However, it remains unclear whether GA2ox, a key enzyme that maintains the balance of bioactive gibberellins and intermediates in plants, is involved in the mechanism of salt stress tolerance in grapes.

TaZAT8-5B, a C2H2 zinc finger protein transcription factor, positively regulates drought tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis. It promotes root growth under drought stress via the Aux/IAA-ARF module in the auxin signaling pathway. C2H2 zinc finger proteins (C2H2-ZFPs) represent the largest but relatively unexplored family of transcription factors in plants.

Article Synopsis
- * In this study, researchers found that the StERECTA gene has essential domains that help potato plants respond better to drought stress, as shown by increased biomass and antioxidant activities in overexpressing strains.
- * The findings suggest that StERECTA interacts with the YODA protein and influences other drought-related genes and hormones, providing valuable insights for improving drought tolerance in potatoes through genetic methods.
