Engineering Research Center of Agricultural Microbiology Technology, Ministry of Education, Heilongjiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Ecological Restoration and Resource Utilization for Cold Region, School of Life Sciences, Heilongjiang University, Harbin 150080, China.

The continuous global escalation of soil salinization areas presents severe challenges to the stability and growth of agricultural development across the world. In-depth research on sugar beet ( L.), an important economic and sugar crop with salt tolerance characteristics, is crucial for to determine its salt-tolerance mechanisms, which has important practical implications for production.

Article Synopsis
  • GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) plays a significant role in plant growth, development, and stress resistance, particularly in cotton against abiotic stresses.
  • Identified gene families associated with the GABA branch include GAD, GABA-T, and SSADH from various cotton species, illustrating their evolutionary journey and gene loss over time.
  • The study suggests that GABA helps cotton manage salt stress and high temperatures by enhancing protective enzyme activity and reducing harmful reactive oxygen species, paving the way for understanding its stress response mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • - China’s Xinjiang province is facing serious water shortages that are limiting the growth of its cotton industry, making the development of drought-resistant cotton varieties essential for sustainability.
  • - The study focused on two cotton varieties, one drought-resistant (Xinluzhong No. 82) and one drought-sensitive (Kexin No. 1), utilizing whole transcriptome sequencing to identify potential drought-resistant genes.
  • - Key findings include the identification of two candidate genes related to drought resistance, with specific patterns of gene expression that can inform breeding strategies for developing more resilient cotton crops.

Genetic diversity, kinship and population genetic structure analyses of Gossypium hirsutum germplasm can provide a better understanding of the origin and evolution of G. hirsutum biodiversity. In this study, adopt 273 elite upland cotton cultivar accessions collected from around the world, and especially from China to get 1,313,331 SNP molecular markers, it were used to construct a phylogenetic tree of each sample using MEGAX, to perform population structure analysis by ADMIXTURE software and principal component analysis (PCA) by EIGENSOFT software, and to estimate relatedness using SPAGeDi.
