Article Abstract
Salt stress is a major abiotic stress restrict plant growth and distribution. In our previous study, we found the ABI5-BINDING PROTEIN 2a (PagAFP2a) gene was rapidly and significantly induced by salt stress in hybrid poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa), however, its function in salt stress responses was unclear. In this study, we further demonstrated that the PagAFP2a gene expression is significantly induced by salt and ABA treatments. Additionally, the ABA-responsive element (ABRE) binding proteins (PagAREB1s) directly bind to PagAFP2a promoter and activate its expression. Physiological analysis showed that PagAFP2a overexpression (PagAFP2aOE) or PagAREB1-3 knockout (PagAREB1-3KO) significantly reduced salt tolerance whereas PagAFP2a knockout (PagAFP2aKO) or PagAREB1-3 overexpression (PagAREB1-3OE) significantly enhanced salt tolerance in poplar. Correspondingly, salt stress responsive genes were significantly upregulated in PagAFP2aKO and PagAREB1-3OE plants while downregulated in PagAFP2aOE and PagAREB1-3KO plants. Furthermore, we demonstrated that PagAFP2a directly interacts with PagAREB1s and represses its transcriptional activity at the target genes. In summary, our results unveil the PagAFP2a-PagAREB1s module form a negative feedback loop in ABA signaling to fine-tune salt stress responses in Populus.

Background: Soil salinization represents a critical global challenge to agricultural productivity, profoundly impacting crop yields and threatening food security. Plant salt-responsive is complex and dynamic, making it challenging to fully elucidate salt tolerance mechanism and leading to gaps in our understanding of how plants adapt to and mitigate salt stress.
Results: Here, we conduct high-resolution time-series transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of the extremely salt-tolerant maize inbred line, HLZY, and the salt-sensitive elite line, JI853.

The genetic basis of early-stage salt tolerance in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), a key factor limiting its productivity, remains poorly understand. To dissect this complex trait, we integrate genome-wide association study (GWAS) and transcriptomics (RNA-seq) from 176 accessions within a machine learning based genomic prediction framework.

Aging is the greatest risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and is characterized by inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular senescence. Cellular senescence is a state of persistent cell cycle arrest triggered by stressors such as DNA damage and telomere attrition. Senescent endothelial cells (ECs) can impair vascular function and promote inflammation, thereby contributing to CVD progression.

Phosphorylation of histone lysine demethylases is an important mechanism by which the cell modulates chromatin dynamics to regulate its response to stress. There is evidence that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae H3K36me2/3 demethylase, Rph1p, is an integrator of many signalling events. However, the regulatory function of most Rph1p phosphosites in stress response pathways remains unknown.

Rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) are cysteine-rich signaling peptides in plants that play critical roles in development, immune regulation, and responses to abiotic stress. Despite their importance, the functional characterization of RALF family members in Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum), a nutrient-rich crop known for its remarkable resilience to multiple stresses, remains largely unexplored. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide analysis to identify and characterize the FtRALF gene family in Tartary buckwheat, examining their phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, and duplication events.
