The cytokinin (CK) type B response regulator () gene is involved in the CK signaling pathway and performs a key function for mediating reactions to amounts of abiotic stresses. Nevertheless, the gene family remains to be characterized in Poaceae (also known as Gramineae or grasses). Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis encompassing phylogenetic relationships, evolutionary pressures, and expression patterns of the gene family in six Poaceae species, including rice, , , , maize, and wheat.

Endophytic species from agricultural crops have been extensively studied for their plant-growth-promoting (PGP) potential, but little is known about their PGP potential when isolated from perennial trees. This study investigated the plant-growth-promoting (PGP) potential of an endophyte, GDW1, isolated from a healthy pine tree by taking tomato as a host plant. We employed multiomics approaches (transcriptome and bacteriome analyses) to elucidate the underlying PGP mechanisms of GDW1.

Background: Cold stress significantly challenges cotton growth and productivity, yet the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying cold tolerance remain poorly understood.
Results: We employed RNA-seq and iterative weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to investigate gene and transposable element (TE) expression changes at six cold stress time points (0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h). Thousands of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, exhibiting time-specific patterns that highlight a phase-dependent transcriptional response.

Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Moench) seedling emergence and growth are significantly impeded by physical soil crusts (PSCs) in saline-alkaline soils. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a potent seed priming agent known for modulating plant physiological and metabolic responses under salinity stress. However, the influence of ABA priming on seedling emergence in PSCs remains unclear.

Background: Melatonin plays a pivotal role in alleviating abiotic stresses, yet its biosynthesis regulation in crops, particularly wheat, remains unclear. This study explores regulatory components of melatonin biosynthesis under drought stress using bioinformatic, physiochemical, and molecular approaches in contrasting wheat genotypes.
Results: Bioinformatic analysis identified SNAT, a key melatonin biosynthesis gene, and 88 transcription factors (TFs) from 26 families as potential regulators.
