To investigate the growth, physiological changes and mechanism of drought resistance of Camellia oleifera GWu-2 under drought stress conditions, changes in the main growth and physiological indices of GWu-2 under different water gradients were studied. Factor analysis was used to study the differences between indicators under different water gradients, and correlation analysis was implemented to analyze the relationship between different factors. We observed that the growth state, enzyme secretion, stomatal morphology and leaf osmotic adjustment substances were significantly affected by drought stress. In particular, increases in leaf abscisic acid (ABA), indole acetic acid (IAA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) contents under drought stress were negatively correlated with the stomatal opening degree, and the ratio of ZR/GA3 was significantly correlated with the growth and physiological indicators of GWu-2, indicating that different hormones respond differently to drought stress and have different functions in the growth regulation and drought resistance of GWu-2. We concluded that the drought resistance mechanism of GWu-2 was controlled by maintaining root growth to obtain the necessary water, increasing the contents of osmotic substances of leaves to maintain water holding capacity, reducing the transpiration of water by increasing leaf ABA, IAA and MeJA content to close stomata and reducing the damage caused by drought by increasing the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) are plant proteins that directly bind calcium ions before phosphorylating substrates involved in biotic and abiotic stress responses, as well as development. CPK3 () is involved with plant signaling pathways such as stomatal movement regulation, salt stress response, apoptosis, seed germination and pathogen defense. In this study, and its orthologues in relatively distant plant species such as rice (, monocot) and kiwifruit (, asterid eudicot) were analyzed in response to drought, bacteria, fungi, and virus infections.

Water scarcity is an ecological issue affecting over 10% of Europe. It is intensified by rising temperatures, leading to greater evaporation and reduced precipitation. Agriculture has been confirmed as the sector accounting for the highest water consumption globally, and it faces significant challenges relating to drought, impacting crop yields and food security.

In the Mediterranean basin, urban forests are widely recognized as essential landscape components, playing a key role in nature-based solutions by enhancing environmental quality and providing a range of ecosystem services. The selection of woody plant species for afforestation and reforestation should prioritize native species that align with the biogeographical and ecological characteristics of the planting sites. Among these, L.

Turcz. is a winter annual species of the Asteraceae family, distributed in sandy areas of northern China, and is crucial for wind avoidance and sand fixation. To understand the inter- and intra-annual population dynamics of in its cold desert habitats, we conducted long- and short-term demographic studies to investigate the timing of germination, seedling survival, soil seed bank and seed longevity of natural populations on the fringe of the Tengger Desert.

Plants face a range of environmental stresses, such as heat and drought, that significantly reduce their growth, development, and yield. Plants have developed complex signaling networks to regulate physiological processes and improve their ability to withstand stress. The key regulators of plant stress responses include polyamines (PAs) and gaseous signaling molecules (GSM), such as hydrogen sulfide (HS), nitric oxide (NO), methane (CH), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO), and ethylene (ET).
