TaTPS11 enhances wheat cold resistance by regulating source-sink factor.

The presence of sugar in plant tissue can lead to an increase in the osmotic pressure within cells, a decrease in the freezing point of plants, and protection against ice crystal damage to the tissue. Trehalose is closely related to sucrose, which comprises the largest proportion of sugar and has become a hot topic of research in recent years. Our previous studies have confirmed that a key trehalose synthesis gene, TaTPS11, from the cold-resistant winter wheat DM1, could enhance the cold resistance of plants by increasing sugar content.

Exogenous melatonin enhances cell wall response to salt stress in common bean () and the development of the associated predictive molecular markers.

Common bean () is an important food crop; however, its production is affected by salt stress. Salt stress can inhibit seed germination, promote senescence, and modify cell wall biosynthesis, assembly, and architecture. Melatonin, an indole heterocycle, has been demonstrated to greatly impact cell wall structure, composition, and regulation in plants under stress.

Molecular mechanisms of flavonoid accumulation in germinating common bean () under salt stress.

Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites, active biomolecules in germinating beans, and have prominent applications in food and medicine due to their antioxidant effects.

To identify the new and stable loci for agronomic traits, including flag leaf length (FLL), flag leaf width (FLW), uppermost internode length (UIL), and plant morphology (PM, including prostrate, semi-prostrate, and erect). A total of 251 spring wheat accessions collected from the Northeast of China were used to conduct genome-wide association study (GWAS) by 55K SNP arrays.

The bZIP Transcription Factor Family in Adzuki Bean (): Genome-Wide Identification, Evolution, and Expression Under Abiotic Stress During the Bud Stage.

Adzuki bean () is an important dietary legume crop that was first cultivated and domesticated in Asia. Currently, little is known concerning the evolution and expression patterns of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family transcription factors in the adzuki bean. Through the PFAM search, 72 bZIP members of adzuki bean (VabZIP) were identified from the reference genome.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Two Sweet Sorghum Genotypes with Different Salt Tolerance Abilities to Reveal the Mechanism of Salt Tolerance.

Sweet sorghum is a C4 crop that can be grown for silage forage, fiber, syrup and fuel production. It is generally considered a salt-tolerant plant. However, the salt tolerance ability varies among genotypes, and the mechanism is not well known.

Genomic Analysis of Soybean PP2A-B Family and Its Effects on Drought and Salt Tolerance.

Abiotic stresses induce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and significantly affect plant growth. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) plays an important role in controlling intracellular and extracellular ROS signals. However, the interaction between PP2A, ROS, and stress tolerance remains largely unclear.
