AI Article Synopsis

  • Drought significantly impacts agricultural productivity, making it important to understand how winter rape (a type of canola) responds at the molecular level to this stress.
  • In this study, researchers used transcriptome and miRNA sequencing on the 'Longyou 7' variety of winter rape to identify key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and miRNAs (DEMIs) related to drought stress.
  • They discovered 14-15 important mRNA genes and 32 miRNAs that regulate each other, mainly affecting pathways like starch and sucrose metabolism, which are crucial for the plant’s drought resistance.

Article Abstract

Drought is a major abiotic stress factor that reduces agricultural productivity. Understanding the molecular regulatory network of drought response in winter rape is of great significance for molecular . In order to comprehensively analyze the network expression of DEGs and DEMIs in winter rape under drought stress, in this study we used Longyou 7 as the experimental material to identify DEGs and DEMIs related to drought stress by transcriptome and miRNA sequencing. A total of 14-15 key differential mRNA genes related to drought stress and biological stress were screened out under different treatments in the three groups. and 32 differential miRNAs were identified through targeted regulatory relationships, and the mRNA expression of 20 target genes was negatively regulated by the targeting regulatory relationship. It is mainly enriched in starch and sucrose metabolism, carbon metabolism and other pathways. Among them, gra-MIR8731-p3_2ss13GA18GA regulated the expression of multiple mRNAs in the three treatments. miRNA is mainly involved in the drought resistance of Chinese cabbage winter rape by regulating the expression of target genes, such as starch and sucrose metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, and carbon metabolism. These miRNAs and their target genes play an indispensable role in winter rapeseed drought stress tolerance regulation.

Drought stress and lateral branches are both important factors affecting crop yield. Cucumber is a widely planted vegetable crop that requires a large amount of water during its production and varieties with few lateral branches are preferred. However, the mechanisms regulating cucumber drought tolerance and lateral branch development remain largely unclear.

In the rapid climate change scenario and subsequent rainfall patterns, drought has emerged as a bottleneck for crop production across crops, especially in rainfed rice. Drought significantly affects the development and production of most modern rice cultivars. Thus, recent breeding efforts have aimed to integrate drought tolerance traits in existing rice varieties through conventional and molecular approaches.

Maize () is India's third-largest grain crop, serving as a primary food source for at least 30% of the population and sustaining 900 million impoverished people globally. The growing human population has led to an increasing demand for maize grains. However, maize cultivation faces significant challenges due to a variety of environmental factors, including both biotic and abiotic stresses.

White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is a high-quality leguminous forage, but its short rooting habit, poor transpiration tolerance, and drought tolerance, have become a key factor restricting its growth and cultivation. 1R-MYB transcription factors (TFs) are a significant subfamily of TFs in plants, playing a vital role in regulating plant responses to drought stress, however, knowledge about the role of 1R-MYB transcription factors in white clover is still limited.

Drought stress during the plant's growing season is a serious constraint to plant establishment in arid and semiarid Mediterranean ecosystems. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as environmentally friendly and innovative management approach can be used to produce seedlings better adapted to these environments. We tested native PGPR strains isolated from drought-tolerant tree and shrub species originating from two climatically contrasting regions: hot-dry (Dehloran) and milder Mediterranean climate (Ilam).
