Low propagation rate is the primary problem that limits industry development of tree peony. In this study, a highly efficient regeneration system for tree peony using somatic embryogenesis (SE) was established. The transcriptomes of zygotic embryo explants (S0), non-embryonic callus (S1), embryonic callus (S2), somatic embryos (S3), and regenerated shoots (S4) were analyzed to determine the regulatory mechanisms that underlie SE in tree peony. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the pairwise comparisons of S1-vs-S2 and S1-vs-S3, respectively. The enriched DEGs were primarily involved in hormone signal transduction, stress response and the nucleus (epigenetic modifications). The results indicated that cell division, particularly asymmetric cell division, was enhanced in S3. Moreover, the genes implicated in cell fate determination played central roles in S3. Hormone signal pathways work in concert with epigenetic modifications and stress responses to regulate SE. , , , , , and were characterized as the molecular markers for tree peony SE. To our knowledge, this is the first study of the SE of tree peony using transcriptome sequencing. These results will improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underly SE in tree peony and will benefit the propagation and genetic engineering of this plant.

The SNF1-Related Protein Kinase 1 (SnRK1) signaling cascade is highly conserved and plays a crucial role in coordinating various cellular processes in plants. However, its regulatory mechanisms in stress responses remain largely unclear. Here, we started from the perspectives of transcriptional regulation, protein-protein interaction, and posttranslational modification, and through the integration of multiple molecular biology approaches and functional validation methods, we conducted a detailed analysis of the mechanisms by which PoKIN10 (SnRK1 catalytic subunit), PoWRKY31, PoWRKY75, and PoCCoAOMT participate in drought tolerance in tree peony.

is a commercially important ornamental and traditional medicinal plant esteemed in China. Salt stress is a widespread abiotic stress that significantly affects plant growth and development, and moderate stress can significantly promote the synthesis of plant secondary metabolites, requiring clarification of its underlying molecular mechanisms. The Salt Overly Sensitive 1 (SOS1) gene family is essential for salt stress tolerance, encoding Na/H antiporters that preserve ion homeostasis and reduce cellular damage.

Tree peony is a traditional and popular ornamental flower. However, its short and concentrated flowering period restricts the development of the tree peony industry. In this study, the function of the PomiR171n-PoUGT89B2 combination related to senescence regulation was analyzed, using Paeonia ostii 'Fengdan' (P.
