Summary: Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) family members are highly conserved protein kinases in mammals and plants, playing a pivotal role in the perception and transduction of diverse signals involved in plant development and stress responses. Recent research has shown that GSK3s are involved in plant adaptation to various stresses and their crosstalk with hormones. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of GSK3s in plant stress responses provides opportunities for developing stress-resilient crops using genetic engineering technology.

Summary: Plants as sessile organisms must tolerate various environmental stresses, where plant hormones, specifically jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivatives, play vital roles in mediating plant responses and defenses. The review highlights recent progress in understanding the functions and mechanisms of JAs in plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses, as well as their crosstalk with other phytohormones to regulate the balance between growth and defense. Current issues and future opportunities in research on JAs in plant stress responses are also discussed in the review.

Summary: Global warming and population growth have increased the need for plants to rescue themselves in unfavorable environments to meet food requirements. Stress signal sensing plays a crucial role in determining the appropriate response and ultimately the survival of plants. Plant mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are key in regulating responses to major environmental stresses.

Summary: Phytochromes, as receptors for red and far-red light, not only regulate plant growth and development but also mediate resistance to various stresses. Recent studies have shown that phytochrome signaling pathways play a crucial role in enabling plants to cope with abiotic and biotic stresses. This paper reviews the mechanisms of action of phytochromes in plant resistance to adversity and discusses the importance of modulating genes involved in phytochrome signaling pathways for coordinating plant growth, development, and stress responses.
