Background: Walnuts (Juglans regia L.) are known for their nutrient-rich nuts and are one of the important economic tree species in the world. However, due to global warming and soil salinization, walnuts suffer from various abiotic stresses. TIFY (TIF[F/Y]XG) proteins play an essential role in the growth and development of plants, signal transduction, and stress response in plants. At present, although the TIFY gene family of a number of plants has been identified and studied, how TIFY takes part in stress tolerance remains obscure and many functions of TIFY require further investigation.
Result: In this study, twenty-one TIFY transcription factors were identified in the walnut genome database, and they were divided into four subfamilies (TIFY, JAZ, ZML, and PPD) by bioinformatics analysis. Chromosome location revealed tandem duplication of some genes. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed JrTIFYs were closely related to the TIFY gene family of Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana). qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) analysis revealed the TIFY genes have different expression patterns in 'Qingxiang' and 'Xiangling' walnut varieties under drought, heat, and salt stress. JAZ subfamily was more expressed in different abiotic stress than other subfamilies. The expressions of JrTIFY14 under heat and salt stress were significantly higher than those under drought stress. However, the expression of JrTIFYs was not significant in 'Xiangling'.
Conclusion: This study reveals the TIFY gene family plays an important role in walnuts facing abiotic stresses and provides a theoretical basis for walnut breeding.

The JAZ protein family, serving as a key negative regulator in the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, interacts with transcription factors to play an essential role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, minimal research has focused on the role of JAZ transcription factors in regulating the growth, development, and stress responses of maize. In this study, we cloned the JAZ gene ZmJAZ13 from maize (Zea mays L.

Article Synopsis
- The jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) gene family is important in regulating key traits in crops, but its characterization in eggplants was previously unreported.
- In this study, researchers identified 13 SmJAZ genes on 9 chromosomes, classified into 5 subgroups, and found their involvement in various plant responses to environmental stimuli.
- Additionally, overexpressing SmJAZ10 reduced chlorophyll content in seedlings and altered the expression of related genes, suggesting its potential role in enhancing eggplant quality through jasmonate signaling.

Plant responses to stress caused by high temperatures involve changes occurring at the molecular, metabolic, and physiological levels. Understanding the mechanisms by which plants recognize signals to activate this response is a prerequisite for identifying key genes and signaling pathways and for obtaining heat-tolerant plants. We demonstrated the first implementation of an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin to identify open chromatin regions (OCRs) in crown tissues of barley using three genotypes carrying different allelic forms of the sdw1 gene encoding gibberellin 20-oxidase subjected to elevated temperatures.
