Banana is highly susceptible to low temperature and salicylic acid (SA) can effectively improve the chilling tolerance. The metabolic changes of SA induced chilling responses of banana were studied. Bananas normally ripened under 15 °C and dramatic metabolic difference compared with other groups was recorded. Accumulation of glucose (>1.5 folds) and consumption of unsaturated fatty acids (11.0-16.5%) were observed. The glycolysis was induced to compensate the decreased energy charge. Low temperature (6 °C) caused chilling damage and metabolites including glutamine, serine, and glucose were related to chilled bananas. Various physiological changes such as sugar metabolism and consumption of reducing substances occurred to adapt the cold stress. SA released the cold injury and the disaccharides were increased by 18.1-21.4%. Further analysis revealed the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids such as proline, and enhanced energy charge. Thus, SA increased the chilling tolerance via a number of different metabolic mechanisms.

Chromatin remodeling plays a crucial role in controlling gene transcription by modifying chromatin structure. However, the involvement of chromatin remodeling in plant stress responses, especially cold tolerance, through chromatin accessibility remains largely unexplored. Here, we report that rice (Oryza sativa L.

Banana is sensitive to cold stress and often suffers from chilling injury with browning peel and failure to normal ripening. We have previously reported that banana chilling injury is accompanied by a reduction of miR528 accumulation, alleviating the degradation of its target gene MaPPO and raising ROS levels that cause peel browning. Here, we further revealed that the miR528-MaPPO cold-responsive module was regulated by miR156-targeted SPL transcription factors, and the miR156c-MaSPL4 module was also responsive to cold stress in banana.

Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), a hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) donor, effectively mitigates chilling injury (CI) in bananas; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study demonstrated that NaHS alleviates CI symptoms by activating antioxidant defense systems that reduce oxidative stress induced by CI. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 1003 differentially expressed genes in three sample groups, with enrichment in pathways related to cellular processes, metabolic activity, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis.

Continuous supply of NADPH is necessary for the synthesis of ROS, which can be derived from the decarboxylation of malic acid, providing fuels for RbOHs to sustain ROS production. However, excessive accumulations of ROS lead to significant chilling injury (CI) in peaches during cold storage. Our previous studies indicated that hot air (HA) slows the CI progression in peaches by preventing malate degradation.

Members of the cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGC) proteins are reportedly involved in a variety of biotic and abiotic responses and stomatal movement. However, it is unknown if and how a single member could regulate multiple responses. Here we characterized three closely related CNGC genes in rice, OsCNGC14, OsCNGC15 and OsCNGC16, to determine whether they function in multiple abiotic stresses.
