Article Abstract
Bananas are one of the most important cash crops in the tropics and subtropics. Drought and low-temperature stress affect the growth of banana. The (dehydration responsive element binding protein) gene family, as one of the major transcription factor families, plays crucial roles in defense against abiotic stress. Currently, systematic analyses of the banana () gene family have not yet been reported. In this study, 103 members of the gene family were identified in the banana genome. In addition, transcriptomic analysis results revealed that responded to drought and cold stress. The expression of was induced by drought and cold stress; these geneswere selected for further analysis. The qRT-PCR validation results confirmed the transcriptome results. Additionally, transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing exhibited enhanced resistance to drought and cold stress by reducing MDA content and increasing PRO and soluble sugar content. This study enhances our understanding of the function of the gene family, provides new insights into their regulatory role under abiotic stress, and lays a good foundation for improving drought and cold stress-tolerant banana verities.

Evolutionary consequences of extreme climate events.

Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA.
Extreme climate events, such as storms, droughts or cold waves, wreak havoc on human and natural systems, but they can also catalyze rapid evolutionary change. Because such extreme events have historically been rare and difficult to forecast, studies of their biological impacts have mostly been serendipitous, limiting our understanding of their evolutionary consequences. However, with extreme climate events now increasing in frequency and severity due to human-induced global change, the opportunity - and need - to study their evolutionary consequences has grown.

Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK), Gatersleben, Germany.
The German Federal Ex Situ Genebank for Agricultural and Horticultural Crops (IPK) harbours over 3000 pea plant genetic resources (PGRs), backed up by corresponding information across 16 key agronomic and economical traits. The unbalanced structure and inconsistent format of this historical data has precluded effective leverage of genebank accessions, despite the opportunities contained in its genetic diversity. Therefore, a three-step statistical approach founded in linear mixed models was implemented to enable a rigorous and targeted data curation.

Background: Dehydrin (DHN) proteins, belong to subfamily members of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins, are widely recognized as key determinants in plant abiotic stress tolerance.
Results: In this study, we identified eleven DHN genes in Zea mays and systematically analyzed their evolutionary relationships, structural features, cis-acting elements, expression patterns, protein interaction relation, and function validation in drought resistance. All ZmDHN proteins contained K-segment, and were classified into three subgroups, i.
Genome-wide identification and characterization of DUF789 genes in cotton: implications for fibre development.

Background: Proteins containing domains of unknown function (DUFs) play a crucial role in plant growth, development and stress adaptation, but many of them are still uncharacterized. The DUF789 family is one of the least studied of these, especially in economically significant crops like cotton (Gossypium spp.), whose possible function in fibre production and abiotic stress response is yet unknown.

Climate-driven abiotic stresses, responsible for approximately 50% of global crop yield losses, are putting agriculture under increasing pressure, demanding smarter ways to strengthen plants' natural defenses beyond genetic modification. Hydrogen peroxide (HO), long recognized as a key signaling molecule, plays a powerful role in helping plants cope with environmental stress. This review deciphers the mechanistic basis of HO-mediated capacity enhancement under diverse stresses (drought, salinity, heavy metals, heat, cold) while also addressing climate-intensified challenges like waterlogging and ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
