Gibberellic acid-stimulated () gene family is a class of functional cysteine-rich proteins characterized by an N-terminal signal peptide and a C-terminal-conserved GASA domain with 12 invariant cysteine (Cys) residues. GASA proteins are widely distributed among plant species, and the majority of them are involved in the signal transmission of plant hormones, the regulation of plant development and growth, and the responses to different environmental constraints. To date, their action mechanisms are not completely elucidated. This review reports an overview of the diversity, structure, and subcellular localization of GASA proteins, their involvement in hormone crosstalk and redox regulation during development, and plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Knowledge of this complex regulation can be a contribution to promoting multiple abiotic stress tolerance with potential agricultural applications through the engineering of genes encoding GASA proteins and the production of transgenic plants.

Plants are frequently challenged by a variety of microorganisms. To protect themselves against harmful invaders, they have evolved highly effective defense mechanisms, including the synthesis of numerous types of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Snakins are such compounds, encoded by the (Gibberellic Acid-Stimulated Arabidopsis) gene family, and are involved in the response to biotic and abiotic stress.

The presence of -, , gene family has been reported in many important plants, playing roles in various aspects of plant biology but little has been uncovered in soybeans. Soybean is one of the major plants providing nutrition for humans and livestock globally. In this study, we overexpressed a novel gene () in and conducted bioinformatic analyses, evaluated the T2 transgenic line in an open field, and applied major stressors along with the growth promoter GA to investigate the potential functions of the gene.

Article Synopsis
- Plant Snakin/GASA and defensin peptides are important cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with structural stability and varied functions.
- The study focuses on the evolutionary impact of polyploidy on the expression of these peptides in the Dilatata group of Paspalum using RNA-seq data to identify 107 defensins and 145 Snakin/GASA genes.
- Results show that allotetraploid species have undergone gene deletions, duplications, and silencing, with their AMP genes being more similar to each other than to diploid species, suggesting a single evolutionary origin for these polyploids.

Drought stress poses a critical threat to global crop yields and sustainable agriculture. The GASA genes are recognized for their pivotal role in stress tolerance and plant growth, but little is known about how they function in sunflowers. The investigation aimed to identify and elucidate the role of HaGASA genes in conferring sunflowers with drought tolerance.
