Summary: MicroRNA (miRNA)-target gene modules are crucial for plants' response to abiotic stress. In this study, we used a systems biology approach to predict and study the role of a drought-responsive miRNA-target module (miR1119-MYC2) in wheat. We identified differential expression of this module between wheat genotypes with contrasting drought tolerance and under drought versus non-stressed conditions. Furthermore, we found significant associations between the module's expression profiles and various physiological and molecular traits related to drought tolerance in wheat. These findings suggest the importance of miR1119-MYC2 module in wheat's adaptation to drought stress.

Summary: Transgenic sweetpotato plants overexpressing IbHPPD exhibited enhanced tolerance to various environmental stresses, including salt, drought, and oxidative stresses. They also showed increased resistance to the herbicide sulcotrione, which inhibits HPPD. Additionally, these plants had higher levels of alpha-tocopherol content under dehydrated conditions.

Summary: This mini-review provides an update and prospects on root system architecture (RSA) research in potatoes. Despite limited research on potatoes, some studies have been conducted on root morphology and have found that root architecture plays an important role under heat, drought, and nitrogen stresses. Therefore, applying multidisciplinary approaches to abiotic stress tolerance research in potatoes can strengthen the progress of root system architecture research.

Summary: Drought stress is a significant environmental factor affecting plant growth, with plants developing complex resistance and adaptation mechanisms to improve tolerance. Plants adopt strategies such as altering stomatal conductance, enhancing photosynthetic efficiency, and adjusting root to shoot ratio dynamics to cope with water deficit.

Summary: Potato, a drought-sensitive crop, is facing threats to its global sustainable production due to changes in water availability. This study compared the responses of two Andigenum varieties with contrasting drought tolerance at early and late time points of drought stress exposure. The results showed widespread differences in the response of the two varieties, with the tolerant variety exhibiting faster upregulation of ABA-related genes and stronger cell wall reinforcement and remodeling in both leaves and roots. These findings provide insights into the molecular bases of drought tolerance mechanisms and have implications for improving drought resistance and yield stability in modern potato cultivars.

Summary: Rice, as one of the most significant staple foods worldwide, has faced challenges due to climate change and abiotic stress. Abiotic stressors such as drought, heat, cold, salt, submergence, and heavy metal toxicity have resulted in reduced photosynthetic efficiency, imbalanced redox homeostasis, and tissue damage in rice plants. Rice plants respond to these stressors through various morphological, biochemical, and physiological mechanisms.

Summary: This study identified a new bHLHm1 transcription factor MdSAT1 which functions in mediating tolerance to salt and drought resistance. Overexpression of MdSAT1 in apple calli and Arabidopsis resulted in increased tolerance to salt and drought stress. These findings pave the way for further functional investigation on MdSAT1's role in abiotic stress tolerance.

Summary: This study reveals the crosstalk mechanism between methyl jasmonate and abscisic acid signaling in regulating water use efficiency and drought stress tolerance in Populus euphratica. By conducting molecular experiments and phenotype analysis, it was found that PeJAZ2 acts as a positive regulator in MeJA and ABA signaling, enhancing drought tolerance and water use efficiency in poplar through ABA-induced stomatal closure and hydrogen peroxide production.

Summary: Root systems play a crucial role in plant performance and adaptation to various environments. Comparative analysis of root system architecture between maize and sorghum, two related plant species with different stress tolerance levels, can help bridge the knowledge gap regarding the contribution of root architecture to stress tolerance in a changing climate. Steeper root angles and deeper root systems are proposed to be advantageous under water deficit conditions for both species. Limited research suggests that a reduction in root length and number may be beneficial in saline soils. Under low phosphorus conditions, shallow and wider root systems are beneficial for topsoil foraging. Future research focusing on the differences between these species is critical for understanding the role of root system architecture in optimizing plant production in a changing global climate.

Summary: The SbCDR gene, cloned from the halophyte Salicornia brachiata, enhances tolerance in transgenic tobacco plants against salinity, drought, and cold by improving chlorophyll content, plant growth, and various biochemical parameters. Additionally, the transgenic lines exhibit better relative water content and membrane stability, suggesting that SbCDR gene enhances abiotic stress tolerance by regulating ion balance and biochemical metabolism.

Summary: Heat stress induces changes in alternative splicing in plants, including intron retention. CYP18-1 in Arabidopsis is found to be essential for efficient removal of retained introns during heat stress. CYP18-1 interacts with splicing factors and small nuclear RNAs, and regulates splicing process.

Summary: In this study, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing analysis was conducted to characterize gene expression profiles during the development and ripening of paprika fruit. Differential gene expression analysis revealed differentially expressed genes at different stages of fruit development and ripening. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that sugar metabolism-related pathways, especially starch and sucrose metabolic pathways, were highly enriched. These findings provide a foundation for further research on genes related to sugar metabolism in the developmental stages of paprika fruit.
