Summary: The study demonstrated the interaction between soybean GmCIPK29 and GmCBL1, and showed that the expression of GmCIPK29 was induced by drought and exogenous ABA. GmCIPK29 enhanced ABA sensitivity and conferred drought resistance in Arabidopsis. Overexpression of GmCIPK29 in soybean hairy roots resulted in decreased water loss and reduced MDA content under drought stress. Knockdown of GmCIPK29 increased ROS levels in soybean hairy roots under water deficit conditions. Furthermore, stress-related genes were upregulated in GmCIPK29-overexpressing soybean plants under drought stress. These findings highlight the important role of GmCIPK29 in abiotic stress response and provide insight into the complex mechanisms of the CBL-CIPK signaling pathway.

Summary: The CIPK5 gene (AcCIPK5) in pineapple responds to multiple stresses and positively regulates osmotic, drought, salt, and cold tolerance while negatively regulating heat and fungal stress. Additionally, the expression of AcCIPK5 impacts ABA-related genes and ROS homeostasis. This study demonstrates that AcCIPK5 plays an important role in multiple stress tolerance and has the potential to be used in the development of stress-tolerant crops.

Summary: Low temperatures trigger a diverged Ca2+ decoding paradigm involving CBL and CIPK proteins. VaCIPK18 was identified as a key regulator in cold signaling, positively controlling cold response by modulating the transcription of cold-regulated CBFs and regulating ROS homeostasis. The study provides evidence that VaCIPK18 functions as a central node in the CBL-CIPK network and may interact with VaMYB4a to contribute to cold response in grape plants.

Summary: miRNAs are key post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, pairing with target mRNAs at the 3'UTR to modulate cellular processes. Mirtrons, a predominant class of non-canonical miRNAs, are produced in a splicing-dependent and Drosha-independent manner, constituting about 15% of all miRNAs in the human body.

Summary: Tropospheric ozone has significant effects on the remobilization and allocation efficiency of aboveground biomass and nutrients in cereal crops. Long-term ozone exposure increases straw C:N ratio and affects grain C:N ratio. Grain N concentrations increase significantly under ozone stress, but N yield declines due to grain yield losses. Various indicators of N use efficiency are reduced, indicating reduced N absorption from soil and allocation from vegetative to reproductive organs. Straw C:N ratio is not suitable for predicting wheat productivity. Nitrogen harvest index (NHI) is not affected by ozone stress, but the relationship between harvest index (HI) and NHI is changed by elevated ozone concentration.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the physiological response of broccoli leaves to abiotic stresses such as salinity and boron toxicity/deficiency. The results showed that the combined stress of salinity and boron deficiency resulted in a significant reduction in plant biomass, and the adaptation mechanisms were associated with water and boron concentration in the leaves. The expression patterns of PIP aquaporins varied among the different stress treatments, and their presence in the plasma membrane and interaction with the lipid environment played potential regulatory roles in facilitating salinity-boron stress adaptation mechanisms.

Summary: Plants activate a sophisticated signaling cascade in response to pests and pathogens, with lipids playing a crucial role in mediating these defense responses. Different types of lipids are involved in cell signaling during plant-pathogen interaction and each lipid has specific relevance and contributes to specific signaling cascades. Lipid biosynthetic enzymes, including phospholipases, are involved in the production of defense signaling molecules. Lipids participate in stress signaling by mediating signal transduction, acting as precursors for bioactive molecules, regulating ROS formation, and interacting with phytohormones.
