WRKY transcription factors participate in abiotic stress responses mediated by sugar metabolism.

Plant abiotic stress refers to the unfavorable effects on plants caused by any abiotic factors in a specific environment, such as drought, high temperature, low temperature, etc., which cause disruption of plant physiology and metabolism, and seriously affect the growth and yield of plants. Mounting evidence demonstrates that WRKY transcription factors modulate plant abiotic stress responses by regulating sugar metabolic pathways.

These two emitters were employed as guest molecules and doped into epoxy polymers (EPs), which were constructed by in situ polymerization to achieve polymer materials BBCC-EP and BBCS-EP.

Effects of Drought Stress on the Morphological Structure and Flower Organ Physiological Characteristics of Flower Buds.

Investigations on the impact of drought stress on the reproductive growth of have been relatively limited compared to the extensive research conducted on its nutritional growth. To study the effects of drought stress on the growth and development of flower buds, we investigated the effects of drought stress on the bud anatomical structure, relative water content, relative electrical conductivity, antioxidant enzyme activity, osmoregulation substance content, and hormone contents of using 4-year-old potted plants ('Huaxin' cultivar) as experimental materials. We observed flower bud shrinkage, faded pollen colour, shortened style length, decreased relative water content, increased relative electrical conductivity, and decreased pollen germination rate under drought stress.

Transcriptomic and metabolomic insights on the molecular mechanisms of flower buds in responses to cold stress in two cultivars.

Introduction: The () cultivars 'Huashuo' (HS) and 'Huaxin' (HX) are new high-yielding and economically valuable cultivars that frequently encounter prolonged cold weather during the flowering period, resulting in decreased yields and quality. The flower buds of HS sometimes fail to open or open incompletely under cold stress, whereas the flower buds of HX exhibit delayed opening but the flowers and fruits rarely drop.

Methods: In this study, flower buds at the same development stage of two cultivars were used as test materials for a combination of physiological, transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses, to unravel the different cold regulatory mechanisms between two cultivars of .
