The signalling pathways, calcineurin B-like protein 5 (CBL5)-CBL-interacting protein kinase 8 (CIPK8)/CIPK24-salt overly sensitive 1 (SOS1), transduce salt signals in seed germination in Arabidopsis.

For plant growth under salt stress, sensing and transducing salt signals are central to cellular Na homoeostasis. The calcineurin B-like protein (CBL)-CBL-interacting protein kinase (CIPK) complexes play critical roles in transducing salt signals in plants. Here, we show that CBL5, an ortholog of CBL4 and CBL10 in Arabidopsis, interacts with and recruits CIPK8/CIPK24 to the plasma membrane.

Comprehensive analysis of Dendrobium catenatum HSP20 family genes and functional characterization of DcHSP20-12 in response to temperature stress.

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a class of protective proteins in response to abiotic stress in plants, and HSP20 plays an essential role in response to temperature stress. However, there are few studies on HSP20 in Dendrobium catenatum. In this study, 18 DcHSP20 genes were identified from the D.

Five-year vegetation conversion from pasture to C and C plants affects dynamics of SOC and TN and their natural stable C and N isotopes via mediating C input and N leaching.

Understanding the effects of land-use change on stock and composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) is pivotal for sustainable agriculture and climate change adaption. However, previous studies have often overlooked the specific vegetation type in land-use changes. Therefore, a five-year lysimeter block experiment was conducted, involving non-vegetation, eulalia (C plant), and clover (C plant) to investigate the impacts of vegetation conversion from pasture on SOC and N dynamics and their natural stable isotopes.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Sweet Potato Ammonium Transporter (AMT): Influence on Nitrogen Utilization, Storage Root Development and Yield.

Ammonium, as a major inorganic source of nitrogen (N) for sweet potato N utilization and growth, is specifically transported by ammonium transporters (). However, the activities of family members in sweet potatoes have not been analyzed. In the present study, the sweet potato cultivar 'Pushu 32', which is planted in a large area in China, was used in field experiments at the Agricultural Base of Hainan University (20°06' N, 110°33' E) in 2021, and Sanya Nanfan Research Institute of Hainan University (18°30' N, 109°60' E) in 2022.

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) expansion enhances soil pH and alters soil nutrients and microbial communities.

Amid global environmental concerns, the issue of bamboo expansion has garnered significant attention due to its extensive and profound impacts on the ecosystems. Bamboo expansion occurs in native and introduced habitats worldwide, particularly in Asia. However, the effects of bamboo expansion on soil pH, nutrient levels, and microbial communities are complex and vary across different environments.

Expression of Cry1Ab/2Aj Protein in Genetically Engineered Maize Plants and Its Transfer in the Arthropod Food Web.

While transgenic () maize provides pest resistance and a reduced application of chemical pesticides, a comprehensive environmental risk assessment is mandatory before its field release. This research determined the concentrations of protein in plant tissue and in arthropods under field conditions in Gongzhuling City, northeastern China, to provide guidance for the selection of indicator species for non-target risk assessment studies. maize expressing Cry1Ab/2Aj and non-transformed near-isoline were grown under identical environmental and agricultural conditions.

Development of simple sequence repeat markers for sugarcane from data mining of expressed sequence tags.

Sugarcane ( spp. hybrids) is a worldwide acclaimed important agricultural crop used primarily for sugar production and biofuel. Sugarcane's genetic complexity, aneuploidy, and extreme heterozygosity make it a challenging crop in developing improved varieties.
