Abscisic acid (ABA) is not only important for plant responses to abiotic stresses, but also plays a key and multifaceted role in plant immunity. In this work, we analyzed the role of ABA in the development of resistance/susceptibility in the wheat ( L.)- Berk. pathosystem, which includes the recognition of the necrotic effectors (NEs) of a pathogen by the corresponding wheat susceptibility genes. We studied the interaction of the SnB isolate, which produces two NEs, SnToxA and SnTox3, with three wheat genotypes having different combinations of the corresponding host susceptibility genes ( and ). The results of this work on the gene expression and redox status of resistant and sensitive wheat genotypes treated with ABA show that ABA signaling is directed at inducing the resistance of wheat plants to SnB isolate through the activation of the early post-invasive defense genes and The induction of the expression of these genes leads to reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation during the early stage of infection, with the subsequent limitation of the pathogen's growth. In the presence of a compatible interaction of SnTox3, ABA signaling is suppressed. On the contrary, in the presence of a compatible interaction of , ABA signaling is activated, but the activity of the early post-invasive defense genes and is inhibited, and the expression of the NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factor (TF) family genes and is induced. The TF genes and in the presence of SnToxA induce the development of the susceptibility of wheat plants to SnB, associated with a decrease in the oxidative burst during the early stage of infection. Thus, our study provides new data on the role of the NEs SnTox3 and SnToxA in manipulating ABA signaling in the development of the susceptibility of wheat to . Deepening our knowledge in this area will be instrumental for developing new strategies for breeding programs and will contribute to the development of environmentally friendly sustainable agriculture.

The GIBBERELLIN INSENSITIVE DWARF1 (GID1) gene encodes a receptor integral to Gibberellic acid (GA) signaling, which is pivotal for plant growth, development, and stress responses. Until now, GID1 genes have not been documented in mango. In this research, the mango (Mangifera indica) genome yielded four GID1 homologous genes, and this study focuses on the research of MiGID1A and MiGID1B genes.

Unlabelled: (soybean) is a highly protein-rich legume that also contains oils and vitamins. Unfortunately, soybean faces many biotic and abiotic stresses including heat, drought, pests, wounds, infections, and salinity, which limits the crop productivity. Among these, mechanical wounding (MW) causes significant harm to plants, creates a passage for invading pathogens, and disrupts plant metabolism.

MADS-box genes play important roles in plant development, especially flowering and fruiting. In this study, we identified 54 type I and 69 type II MADS-box genes from the apple reference genome 'GDDH13'. The type II MADS-box genes were further divided into 12 closely related subgroups, each exhibiting similar gene structures and conserved domains.

Growth, development and defence responses of plants are governed through signalling networks that connect inputs from nutrient status, hormone cues and environmental signals. Plant hormones as endogenous signals are essential for modulating plant defence responses and developmental processes. Ethylene (ET), a gaseous hormone, is widely established as a regulator of these processes.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone that regulates multiple biological processes in plants, including seed germination, seedling growth, and abiotic stress response. ABA enhances drought tolerance by promoting stomatal closure, thereby improving crop productivity under unfavorable stress conditions. Extensive research efforts have focused on understanding ABA signaling more clearly for its potential application in agriculture.
