The bp-miR156c–BpSPL2 module positively regulates drought tolerance by mediating lateral root development and reactive oxygen species scavenging in Betula platyphylla
It is demonstrated that the miR156/SPL module enhances drought tolerance in birch by modulating ROS homeostasis and lateral root development, providing novel molecular insights and a theoretical foundation for drought resistance research in birch trees.
A miR166a-MpATHB8-MpMYB10b regulatory module that enhances rust resistance through anthocyanin metabolism in M. ‘Profusion’ provides novel insights into the miRNA-mediated regulation of anthocyanin metabolism and facilitate the breeding of rust-resistant and anthocyanin-enriched Malus cultivars.
Birch (Betula platyphylla) is an important native species widely distributed in northeastern China. It faces various adverse environmental challenges during its natural growth, including drought and herbivory. Here, we identified a transcriptional regulatory module in birch, BpZAT10-BpWRKY31, that increases drought t...

The hollowed root formation and 4′-deoxyflavone accumulation in Scutellaria baicalensis are associated with jasmonate (JAs) signaling, but the upstream regulators integrating these processes with drought tolerance remain unknown. This study investigated whether the 13-lipoxygenase gene SbLOX3 may act as a modulator. Tr...

Soil salinization restricts agricultural production. Identifying key regulatory genes and molecular mechanisms underlying saline-alkali stress is crucial for developing tolerant crops. In this study, the grapevine cultivars ‘Hotan Red’ (HTR) and ‘Yongyou No. 1’ (YY), which differ in saline-alkali tolerance, were used...
PtomiR393a, a drought‐responsive microRNA in Populus tomentosa that mediates crosstalk between ABA and auxin signaling pathways under drought stress is identified, offering new insights into drought tolerance mechanisms in trees and suggest potential strategies to enhance forest tree resilience to water‐deficit conditi...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a major food crop worldwide. With the acceleration of global warming, drought is becoming one of the major limitations for rice productivity. In plants, MYB transcription factors (TF) play pivotal roles in mediating drought stress tolerance. The rice OsMYB61 encodes an R2R3-MYB protein. OsMYB6...
