AbstractAbscisic acid (ABA) is known to alleviate chilling injury (CI) of peach fruit, but the molecular mechanisms is poorly understood. Here, a regulatory module that mediates peach fruit CI response at both transcriptional and post-translational levels was identified. ABA induced the gene expression…

AbstractDrought significantly limits the productivity and quality of Juglans regia, yet the regulatory mechanisms governing drought tolerance in this economically vital nut tree remain largely elusive. Here, we report that the WRKY transcription factor JrTTG2 acts as a central hub in the walnut drought…

AbstractSoil boron deficiency is a global abiotic stress, negatively impacting on crop yield. In the dicot model species Arabidopsis thaliana, inhibition of root elongation is one of the earliest symptoms of boron deficiency. In the monocot model maize (Zea mays L.), boron deficiency-induced root defects…

AbstractPlants produce vast arrays of specialized metabolites mediating ecological interactions, notably including phenylalanine-derived metabolites. Biosynthesizing these metabolites requires not only defined structural pathways, but also tight coordination between the shikimate pathway, aromatic amino…
