The exogenous light cues and the phytohormone Abscisic acid (ABA) regulate several aspects of plant growth and development. In recent years, the role of the crosstalk between the light and ABA signaling pathways in regulating different physiological processes has become increasingly evident. This includes the regulation of germination and early seedling development, control of stomatal development and conductance, growth and development of roots, buds, branches, and regulation of flowering. Light and ABA signaling cascades have various convergence points at both DNA and protein levels. The molecular crosstalk involves several light signaling factors like HY5, COP1, PIFs and BBXs that integrate with ABA signaling components like the PYL receptors and ABI5. Especially, ABI5 and PIF4 promoters serve as key "hotspots" for the integration of these two pathways. Plants acquired both light and ABA signaling pathways before they colonized land almost 500 million years ago. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in the interplay of light and ABA signaling regulating plant development and provide an overview of the evolution of these two pathways.

Chalcone synthase (CHS), the first key structural enzyme in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, plays a crucial role in regulating plant responses to abiotic stresses and hormone signaling. However, its molecular functions remain largely unknown in , which is one of the most economically and ecologically important bamboo species and the most widely distributed one in China. This study identified 17 genes in and classified them into seven subgroups, showing a closer evolutionary relationship to genes from rice.

Mowing significantly influences nutrient cycling and stimulates metabolic adjustments in plants to promote regrowth. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are crucial for enhancing plant growth, nutrient absorption, and stress resilience; however, whether inoculation with PGPR after mowing can enhance plant regrowth capacity further, as well as its specific regulatory mechanisms, remains unexplored. In this study, PGPR (B13) was inoculated into mowed to evaluate its effects on phenotypic traits, root nutrient contents, and hormone levels during the regrowth process and to further explore its role in the regrowth of after mowing.

With the intensification of climate change coupled with the inadequate agricultural management in certain regions, plants face numerous challenges due to various abiotic stresses. Stress associated proteins (SAPs) are essential functional genes in plants for coping with stress. This research provides a functional analysis of OsSAP17, a protein belonging to the SAP family in rice.

The endocytic and autophagic pathways play important roles in abiotic stress responses and maintaining cellular homeostasis in plants. Asparagine Rich Proteins (NRPs) are plant-specific stress-responsive proteins that are involved in many abiotic stress-related signaling pathways. We previously demonstrated that NRP promotes PIN FORMED 2 (PIN2) vacuolar degradation to maintain PIN2 homeostasis under abscisic acid (ABA) treatment in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).
