Unlabelled: Herbaceous peony ( Pall.) is a widely used famous traditional flower in China. It prefers cold and cool climate, but is not resistant to high temperature during summer in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Although WRKY transcription factors play crucial roles in plant responses to high-temperature stress, little is known about Group IIb WRKY family members. Here, we identified the WRKY-IIb protein PlWRKY47 from herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.), which functioned as a nuclear-localized transcriptional activator.

Global warming has multifarious adverse effects on plant growth and productivity. Nonetheless, the effects of endogenous phytomelatonin on the high-temperature resistance of plants and the underlying genetic mechanisms remain unclear. Here, herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.

The MYB transcription factor (TF) is crucial for plant growth, development, and response to abiotic stress, but it is rarely reported in the herbaceous peony ( Pall.). Here, an MYB TF gene was isolated, and based on our prior mRNA data from samples, it was treated with drought stress (DS).

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are considered important nanomaterials with rapidly growing applications. They are inevitably released into the environment, which has attracted considerable attention for their potential threats to ecosystems. In this study, Paeonia ostii T.

Plant growth and development are closely related to the environment, and high-temperature stress is an important environmental factor that affects these processes. WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in plant responses to high-temperature stress. WRKY TFs can bind to the W-box -acting elements of target gene promoters, thereby regulating the expression of multiple types of target genes and participating in multiple signaling pathways in plants.
