() are a gene family that relies on NAD +/NADP + proteins to oxidize toxic aldehydes to non-toxic carboxylic acids, and they play a crucial role in the growth and development of plants, as well as in their ability to withstand stress. This study identified 26 genes from six gene families distributed on six chromosomes. By analyzing the phylogeny, gene structure, conserved motifs, cis-regulatory elements, collinearity of homologs, evolutionary patterns, differentiation patterns, and expression variations under drought stress, we found that the gene is involved in phytohormones and exhibits responsiveness to various environmental stressors by modulating multiple cis-regulatory elements. In addition, , , , and have been identified as playing a crucial role in the response to drought stress. By analyzing the expression patterns of different tissues under drought stress, we discovered that and exhibited the most pronounced impact in relation to the drought stress response, which indicates that they play a positive role in the response to abiotic stress. These findings provide a comprehensive theoretical basis for the gene family in and enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying genes in licorice growth, development, and adaptation to drought stress.

Introduction: Plant respiratory burst oxidase homologs (Rbohs) are essential in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and play critical roles in plant stress responses. Despite their importance, Rbohs in poplar species remain under-explored, especially in terms of their characteristics and functional diversity across different species within the same genus.

Methods: In this study, we employed bioinformatics methods to identify 62 Rboh genes across five poplar species.

Introduction: Harnessing plant growth-promoting rhizobia presents a sustainable and cost-effective method to enhance crop performance, particularly under drought stress. This study evaluates the variability of plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits among three strains of LMR575, LMR571, and LMR655, and two native PGP strains LMR698 and LMR696. The primary objective was to assess the host range specificity of these strains and their effectiveness in improving drought tolerance in three legume species: , , and .

Nutrient Availability Shapes the Resistance of Soil Bacterial Community and Functions to Disturbances in Desert Ecosystem.

Environ Microbiol

State Key Laboratory for Crop Stress Resistance and High-Efficiency Production, College of Life Sciences, Northwest A&F University, Yangling, Shaanxi, People's Republic of China.

Climate change has exposed desert ecosystems to frequent extreme disturbances, including wet-dry cycles and freeze-thaw events, which accelerate desertification on a global scale. The limited nutrient availability characteristic of these ecosystems may constrain microbial survival and growth, making them more vulnerable to environmental perturbations and stressors. However, how nutrient availability modulates the stability of soil ecological communities and functions in desert ecosystems remains poorly understood.

The JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) repressors are crucial proteins in the jasmonic acid signaling pathway that play a significant role in plant growth, development and response to abiotic stress (such as drought, heat, salinity, and low temperature). In this study, we identified 26 potato genes and classified the corresponding predicted proteins into five subfamilies. All potato JAZ proteins exhibited the expected conserved TIFY (TIF[F/Y] XG) and JAZ domains.
