Article Abstract
Drought is a primary limiting factor for potato growth. PYR/PYL/RCAR (referred to hereafter as PYL) proteins, as receptors for abscisic acid (ABA), play a crucial role in the plant response to drought stress. However, the underlying mechanisms of this control remain largely elusive in potatoes. In this study, a potato gene was identified through genome-wide investigation and transcriptome analysis under drought stress. Molecular feature analysis revealed that the gene exhibits the highest expression level in tubers, and is significantly up-regulated under ABA and drought stress conditions. The StPYL20 protein harbors a conserved domain exclusive to the PYL family. Further functional analysis showed that both transient and stable expressions of in tobacco enhanced the drought resistance of transgenic plants, resulting in increased plant height, leaf number, and fresh weight, and an improved root system. Compared to wild-type plants under drought conditions, transgenic tobacco with the gene exhibited lower levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), higher proline (Pro) accumulation, and increased antioxidant enzyme activity. Moreover, overexpression of the gene heightened the sensitivity of transgenic plants to ABA. Furthermore, up-regulated the expression of stress response and development-related genes in transgenic plants under drought stress. In conclusion, our findings indicated that enhances drought resistance and root development in transgenic plants, and plays a positive regulatory role in the potato's response to drought stress.

Plants balance resource energy allocation between growth and immunity to ensure survival and reproduction under limited availability. This study reveals that rice cultivars with elevated sucrose levels boost resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae by accumulating the phytoalexin sakuranetin, regulated by the transcription factor STOREKEEPER (OsSTK). OsSTK binds to the promoter region of OsNOMT (Naringenin-7-O-Methyltransferase) to drive sakuranetin biosynthesis.

Background And Aims: Cell wall invertases have multiple roles in plant growth and development, yet their biological functions in seed oil production are still not understood.
Methods: In the present study, the Oryza sativa (rice) cell wall invertase gene OsGIF1 (GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING 1) was ectopically expressed in Glycine max (Soybean) and its functions in grain yield and seed nutrition was investigated.
Key Results: We found that constitutive expression of OsGIF1 significantly improved biomass production, grain yield and seed nutrition in transgenic plants.

Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) overcomes all known tomato resistance genes, including the durable Tm-2, posing a serious threat to global tomato production. Here, we employed in vitro random mutagenesis to evolve the Tm-2 leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain and screened ∼8,000 variants for gain-of-function mutants capable of recognizing the ToBRFV movement protein (MP) and triggering hypersensitive cell death. We identified five such mutants.

Salt stress impairs photosynthetic efficiency and consequently reduces the growth, development, and grain yield of crop plants. The formation of hydrophobic barriers in the root endodermis, including the suberin lamellae and Casparian strips, is a key adaptive strategy for salt stress tolerance. In this study, we identified the role of the rice NAC transcription factor, ONAC005, in salt stress tolerance.

Progestogens and androgens are steroids found in a wide range of plants, but little is known about their physiological functions. In this study, we sowed seeds of angiosperms on progestogen- and androgen-containing medium and analysed their morphological effects. We further investigated the effects of progesterone and testosterone on brassinosteroid profiles and gene expression in A.
