Genome‑wide identification of the NHX gene family in Forsythia identifies FsNHX3 and FsNHX6 as potential candidates involved in abiotic stress responses
The Na ⁺ /H⁺ antiporter (NHX) gene family plays a central role in maintaining cellular ion homeostasis and responding to abiotic stress in plants. However, the systematic identification and functional characterization of this gene family in woody plants of the genus Forsythia remain unexplored. To address this, genome-...
