Summary: This study analyzed the differentially expressed genes in the anthers of two soybean varieties under high temperature stress using RNA-seq. The results showed that the heat-tolerant variety had more upregulated genes and maintained key metabolic pathways through the modulation of heat shock proteins and transcription factors. These findings provide important data and candidate genes for further studying the effect and molecular basis of high temperature on soybean anther.

Summary: This study investigated the physiological and transcriptomic responses to waterlogging stress in two melon accessions ('L39' and 'L45'). The results showed that 'L45' exhibited higher chlorophyll content and lower electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde content compared to 'L39' under waterlogging stress. Gene expression analysis revealed that genes related to chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthesis were more suppressed in 'L39', while genes related to sugar cleavage, glycolysis, and fermentation were highly induced. Differentially expressed transcription factors, particularly members of the ERF, bHLH, and WRKY families, were identified as potentially important for waterlogging tolerance in melon.

Summary: The study sequenced the roots of Paeonia ostii using a hybrid approach and identified the molecular mechanism underlying its response to sequential waterlogging stress. The results showed that P. ostii maintained energy levels by accelerating glycolysis and fermentation processes, inhibiting the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and enhancing waterlogging tolerance by reducing nitrate and water uptake from the soil. Transcription factors played essential roles in the response to waterlogging stress.

Summary: Using transcriptome sequencing, the interspecific differences in the molecular response mechanisms of three mangrove plants (Avicennia marina, Aegiceras corniculatum, and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza) under waterlogging stress were studied. The results showed that the plants had different adaptability to waterlogging, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with high folds were classified into four categories: structural regulation, transport, biosynthesis, and protection. A. Marina showed strong regulation ability in the metabolic process, while Ae. corniculatum down-regulated genes related to cell wall regulation or ethylene formation. Additionally, genes involved in alcohol dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase were found to be important in the response of mangrove plants to waterlogging stress.

Summary: The study found that Lactobacillus helveticus utilizes protein by extracellular hydrolysis and upregulation of various factors to prepare for proteolysis. Changes in key factors associated with glycolysis, trehalose phosphotransferase system (PTS), and aerobic respiration were observed during casein utilization in these bacteria.

Summary: Penicillium expansum causes economic losses by causing blue mold disease in pears during storage and transportation. The defense mechanisms of pears against P. expansum are not well understood, limiting the progress in control strategies. This study used transcriptome and proteome approaches to evaluate the defense mechanisms of pears against P. expansum and identified significantly enriched genes/proteins related to metabolic processes and plant hormones. The findings contribute to the development of strategies for controlling fungal diseases.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of guaiacol production in A. acidoterrestris through transcriptomic and proteomic approaches, identifying differentially expressed genes and proteins involved in the process. The up-regulation of genes encoding vanillic acid decarboxylase subunits and other transport proteins suggested their roles in guaiacol production. Additionally, changes in gene expression related to metabolic pathways provided new insights into controlling A. acidoterrestris in the fruit juice industry.

Summary: The study found that early-onset severe preeclampsia and late-onset severe preeclampsia have different molecular mechanisms, with the former associated with metabolism-related pathways and the latter with immune-related pathways. Some key transcription factors may be driving the widespread gene dysregulation in both early-onset and late-onset patients.

Summary: An integrated transcriptome and proteome analysis approach was used to identify the salt tolerance mechanisms of Panicum antidotale. Under low salinity levels, upregulated genes and proteins were involved in salt resistance strategies, while downregulated genes and proteins were related to energy generation. High salinity levels led to inhibiting biomass accumulation by altering expression of genes involved in various metabolic pathways.

Summary: Waterlogging is a major abiotic stress for plants, affecting their energy metabolism and growth processes. Plants respond by regulating their morphology, energy metabolism, hormone synthesis, and signaling pathways. Future research should focus on the effects of waterlogging on plant morphology, photosynthesis, and respiration.
