The influence of ether fraction of water-soluble extract of poplar leaves (Populus nigra L.) and nine phenolic acids (cinnamic and benzoic acids derivatives) on human mononuclear (MNL) leukocytes angiogenic activity was studied. Ether fraction, containing mainly phenolic acids, increased cutaneous angiogenesis induced in mice by human MNL isolated from the blood of healthy donors. Increase of angiogenic activity was also observed in case of caffeic, gallic, salicylic, ferulic and gentisic acids. Isovanillic, protocatechuic and p-hydroxybenzoic acids did not influence this parameter.

In natural environments, the growth and development of trees are continuously affected by phosphorus (P) starvation stress. However, the mechanisms through which trees balance stem growth and P distribution remain unknown. This study found that in the woody model species poplar, the P loss in stems is more severe than that in roots and leaves under P starvation conditions, thereby inhibiting stem development and reducing the expression of numerous genes related to wood formation, including PagSND1-B1.

The transcription factors in the ABA Response Element Binding (AREB) protein family were differentially regulated under multiple stress conditions; however, functional analyses of AREB in Oliv. had not been conducted previously. In the present study, the comprehensive identification of the gene family and the function of in response to drought stress in were elucidated.

The cuticle, an extracellular hydrophobic layer impregnated with waxy lipids, serves as the primary interface between plant leaves and their environment and is thus subject to external cues. A previous study on poplar leaves revealed that environmental conditions outdoors promoted the deposition of about 10-fold more cuticular wax compared to the highly artificial climate of a growth chamber. Given that light was the most significant variable distinguishing the two locations, we hypothesized that the quantity of light might serve as a key driver of foliar wax accumulation.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is an enzyme widely involved in glycolysis in animal cells and in non-metabolic processes, including apoptosis and the regulation of gene expression. GAPDH is a ubiquitous protein that plays a pivotal role in plant metabolism and handling of stress responses. However, its function in plant stress resistance remains unknown.
