Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) play crucial roles in plant growth and development, as well as in the response to phytohormonal, biotic and abiotic stresses. However, comprehensive and systematic research on the CCO gene family has not yet been conducted in Saccharum. In this study, 47 SsCCO and 14 ShCCO genes were identified and characterized in Saccharum spontaneum and Saccharum spp. R570 cultivar, respectively. The SsCCOs consisted of 38 SsCCDs and 9 SsNCEDs, while ShCCOs contained 11 ShCCDs and 3 ShNCEDs. The SsCCO family could be divided into 7 groups, while ShCCO family into 5 groups. The genes/proteins contained similar compositions within the same group, and the evolutionary mechanisms differed between S. spontaneum and R570. Gene Ontology annotation implied that CCOs were involved in many physiological and biochemical processes. Additionally, 41 SsCCOs were regulated by 19 miRNA families, and 8 ShCCOs by 9 miRNA families. Cis-regulatory elements analysis suggested that CCO genes functioned in the process of growth and development or under the phytohormonal, biotic and abiotic stresses. qRT-PCR analysis indicated that nine CCO genes from different groups exhibited similar expression patterns under abscisic acid treatment, while more divergent profiles were observed in response to Sporisorium scitamineum and cold stresses. Herein, comparative genomics analysis of the CCO gene family between S. spontaneum and R570 was conducted to investigate its evolution and functions. This is the first report on the CCO gene family in S. spontaneum and R570, thus providing valuable information and facilitating further investigation into its function in the future.

Frost damage to apple flowers significantly affects both the quality and yield of apples, potentially leading to substantial economic losses. This study investigates the application of the environmentally friendly plant hormone 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) on apple flowers to assess its effects under frost stress conditions. The findings indicate that exogenous EBR treatment maintained favorable flower morphology, mitigated pistil browning, and reduced ion leakage.

The (citrus) plant produces various phytohormones due to the significant involvement of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase () gene family in its growth and development. genes can be divided into two main categories: (9-cis-epoxy carotenoid dioxygenase), responsible for abscisic acid (ABA) production, and (carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase), involved in pigment and strigolactone formation. To better understand the roles and positions of gene members in relation to these hormones, researchers analyzed the clementine genome.

Danshen ( Bunge) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Salvia genus in the family Lamiaceae. Its dry root is one of the important traditional Chinese herbal medicines with a long officinal history. The yield and quality of are influenced by various factors, among which drought is one of the most significant types of abiotic stress.

Nitrite is the main environmental pollutant that endangers shrimp culture. Intestinal health is essential for the disease resistance of shrimp. In this study, shrimps were separately exposed to 1 and 5 mg/L of nitrite stress for 48 h, and then the variations in intestinal health were investigated from the aspects of histology, antioxidant, immunity, energy metabolism, and microbial community status.
