Summary: This study analyzed the responses of apple plants to drought stress under AA treatment, and the results showed that AA treatment can improve drought tolerance in apple plants. Higher levels of chlorophyll and carotenoids were found, and the levels of ABA, JA, and methyl jasmonate were increased under AA treatment. Transcriptomic profiling identified key biological pathways involved in metabolism, MAPK signaling, plant hormone signal transduction, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis under different drought conditions.

Summary: HrTCP20 is a transcription factor that regulates drought resistance in sea buckthorn. Overexpression of HrTCP20 increases the content of antioxidant enzymes and chlorophyll in sea buckthorn, while silencing HrTCP20 decreases the content of antioxidant enzymes and chlorophyll, and inhibits the expression of HrLOX2, a key enzyme in jasmonic acid synthesis.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the effect and mechanism of an ATP-binding cassette transporter, SlABCG23, on the chilling resistance of tomato fruit during storage. We found that mutation of SlABCG23 resulted in severe chilling injury, decreased jasmonic acid contents, and increased expression levels of the JA signaling inhibitor, SlJAZ6. This mutation also led to a decrease in fruit pericarp thickness, lower expression levels of cold response genes, and reduced antioxidant enzyme activities.

Summary: This study characterized the WRKY53 gene family in upland cotton through bioinformatics analysis and investigated its role in cotton's resistance to Verticillium dahliae. The results showed that GhWRKY53 mediated the signal transduction pathways of salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate, regulating the resistance of cotton to the disease. However, further research is needed to elucidate the interaction mechanism between jasmonic acid and salicylic acid signaling pathways in cotton's response to Verticillium dahliae.

Summary: Jasmonic acid (JA) regulates plant growth, development, and stress responses. This study demonstrates the functional diversity of rice COIs and the crucial role of OsCOI2 in rice fertility and JA response. OsCOIs redundantly participate in shoot growth, while OsCOI2 primarily influences root growth. The study also reveals the physical interactions between OsJAZ proteins and rice COIs.

Summary: The study reveals that the DNA demethylase gene OsDML4 is required for regulating salt tolerance in rice. Through RNA-Seq analysis, it was found that the expression of genes related to ROS scavenging and JA signaling was significantly reduced in the osdml4 mutant under salt stress. Additionally, CHH methylation in the promoter region of an ROS-scavenging gene OsCATA was increased, particularly in the osdml4 mutant.

Summary: Jasmonic acid (JA) plays a crucial role in mediating plant responses to abiotic stresses by regulating plant defense systems and enhancing stress tolerance. Modulating JA responses has been shown to improve plant tolerance to various abiotic stresses, indicating the potential for enhancing plant resilience through JA pathways.

Summary: The transcription factor PnWRKY15 regulates the resistance of Panax notoginseng to Fusarium solani by up-regulating the expression of the resistance-related gene PnOLP1 and activating the JA/SA signaling pathways. Suppressed expression of PnWRKY15 increases the sensitivity of P. notoginseng to F. solani, while ectopic expression of PnWRKY15 enhances resistance in tobacco. These findings provide insights into the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of P. notoginseng defense response to F. solani.

Summary: The study compared the transcriptional differences between highly resistant and highly susceptible Upland cotton cultivars in response to Verticillium dahliae inoculation. Genes related to plant hormone signal transduction were enriched in the highly resistant cultivar, while genes related to lignin biosynthesis were enriched in both highly resistant and highly susceptible cultivars. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis identified potential candidate genes for regulating cotton defense against V. dahliae infection.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of vernalization on phytohormone levels and gene expression. The results showed that vernalization significantly changed the levels of abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA), and gibberellic acid (GA). Vernalization inhibited ABA and JA signaling, but promoted GA signaling. Additionally, exogenous ABA and MeJA delayed GA-induced bolting.

Summary: Defence phytohormone pathways have evolved to recognize and respond to various stressors in the environment. Salicylic acid and jasmonic acid, two important plant hormones, regulate different defense responses through the shared defense networks. The structure and regulation of the networks are crucial for the rapid establishment and longevity of hormonal signaling pathways in response to hormone treatment and different biotic stressors.

Summary: In cabbage and Arabidopsis, low concentration of DSF can enhance plant immunity against Xcc. DSF treatment triggered an increased burst of ROS, up-regulated the expression of RBOHD and RBOHF, and increased the activity of antioxidase POD. Transcriptome and metabolome analysis showed that the plant hormone jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway was involved in DSF-primed resistance to Xcc.

Summary: Shoot regeneration is a crucial tool in modern plant biotechnology, but the early molecular genetic factors and signaling events leading to this process are poorly understood. Using tobacco as a model, researchers found that the induction events required for shoot regeneration occur within the first 4-5 days following incubation on regeneration medium.
