Mitigating Response of Induced by 2-Ethylfuran to Infection.

Tomato ( L.) is a major economic vegetable crop globally, yet it is prone to gray mold disease caused by infection during cultivation. Caffeoyl shikimate esterase (CSE) is a crucial component of the lignin biosynthesis pathway, which significantly contributes to plant stress resistance.

The BEL1-like homeodomain protein OsBLH4 regulates rice plant height, grain number, and heading date by repressing the expression of OsGA2ox1.

Gibberellins (GAs) play crucial roles in regulating plant architecture and grain yield of crops. In rice, the inactivation of endogenous bioactive GAs and their precursors by GA 2-oxidases (GA2oxs) regulates stem elongation and reproductive development. However, the regulatory mechanisms of GA2ox gene expression, especially in rice reproductive organs, are unknown.

Identification of Family Members and Characterization of the Low-Temperature-Stress-Responsive Genes in Luffa ( L.).

The plant-specific WRKY transcription factor family members have diverse regulatory effects on the genes associated with many plant processes. Although the WRKY proteins in and other species have been thoroughly investigated, there has been relatively little research on the WRKY family in , which is one of the most widely grown vegetables in China. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis to identify genes, which were subsequently classified and examined in terms of their gene structures, chromosomal locations, promoter cis-acting elements, and responses to abiotic stress.

OsCYBDOMG1, a cytochrome b561 domain-containing protein, regulates salt tolerance and grain yield in rice.

OsCYBDOMG1 positively regulates salt tolerance, plant growth, and grain yield by affecting ascorbate biosynthesis and redox state. Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress affecting rice growth and productivity. Many genes involved in the salt stress response have been identified, but the precise mechanisms underlying salt tolerance remain unclear.

Transcriptional repressor RST1 controls salt tolerance and grain yield in rice by regulating gene expression of asparagine synthetase.

Salt stress impairs nutrient metabolism in plant cells, leading to growth and yield penalties. However, the mechanism by which plants alter their nutrient metabolism processes in response to salt stress remains elusive. In this study, we identified and characterized the rice () () mutant, which displayed improved salt tolerance and grain yield.

An endoplasmic reticulum-localized cytochrome regulates high-affinity K transport in response to salt stress in rice.

Potassium (K) is an essential element for growth and development in both animals and plants, while high levels of environmental sodium (Na) represent a threat to most plants. The uptake of K from high-saline environments is an essential mechanism to maintain intracellular K/Na homeostasis, which can help reduce toxicity caused by Na accumulation, thereby improving the salt tolerance of plants. However, the mechanisms and regulation of K-uptake during salt stress remain poorly understood.

The ATP-binding cassette transporter OsPDR1 regulates plant growth and pathogen resistance by affecting jasmonates biosynthesis in rice.

Jasmonates (JAs) are important regulators of plant growth, development, and defense. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters participate in disease resistance by transporting JAs or antimicrobial secondary metabolites in dicotyledons. Here, we functionally characterized a JAs-inducible rice gene (OsPDR1) that encodes a member of the pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) subfamily of ABC transporters.

Fine mapping of , a major quantitative trait locus for shoot K concentration, in rice seedlings grown under salt stress.

Shoot K concentration (SKC) is an important physiological parameter used to evaluate salt tolerance at the seedling stage in rice ( L.). , a major quantitative trait locus for SKC in rice under salt stress, was detected on chromosome 1 using three F populations constructed by crossing 'Nipponbare' and its two salt-sensitive mutants ( and ) with an cultivar 'Zhaiyeqing8' ('ZYQ8').
