Summary: This study revealed that high nitrate concentration inhibits the formation of adventitious roots in apple rootstocks by affecting multiple hormone signaling pathways, leading to hormonal imbalance and growth inhibition of ARs. Furthermore, differential expression of known and novel miRNAs was observed, suggesting their involvement in auxin and ABA signaling as well as cell fate transformation, proliferation, and enlargement.

Summary: The study compared the transcriptome and sRNAome profiles of lateral buds and leaves in adult and juvenile rose seedlings, identifying numerous differentially expressed genes and miRNAs, and analyzing the molecular mechanisms responsible for the short juvenile phase in roses. The results highlighted significant differences in gene expression related to carbon and nitrogen metabolism, age pathways, and various miRNAs between adult and juvenile roses, providing important insights for further research on rose flowering time and the juvenile-to-adult phase change in woody plants.

Summary: Waterlogging priming is a promising technique for enhancing plant waterlogging tolerance. This study investigated the mechanisms behind root resistance in wheat under waterlogging stress and found that priming improved gas exchange, aerenchyma formation, and gene expression in adventitious roots, ultimately reducing the severity of damage caused by waterlogging.

Summary: The artificial rooting ability of walnut species is known to be difficult, especially for mature trees. Rejuvenation can significantly improve the adventitious root formation capacities of mature trees. Gene activity during artificial rooting formation was found to be influenced by zeatin biosynthesis, energy metabolism, and substance metabolism, with photosynthesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, and synthesis pathways for secondary metabolites being inhibited. The identification of key hub genes and the construction of gene regulatory networks shed light on the regulatory modules associated with the adventitious root formation process promoted by rejuvenation.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of elevated CO2 on the spatial distribution of understorey plant communities in a mature eucalypt woodland in Eastern Australia, showing that elevated CO2 caused changes in the spatial patterns of species richness while changes in community composition were not as clear. This suggests that global change may have far-reaching implications for ecosystem functioning.

Summary: This study demonstrated that phenanthrene exposure can affect the growth and development of wheat roots, leading to senescence of old roots and generation of new roots. The miR164-NAC pathway plays a crucial role in regulating this process, providing insights into the molecular mechanism of crop response to PAHs accumulation.

Summary: Brace roots are unique organs found in large cereal crops like maize, which develop from stem nodes and have the ability to remain aerial or grow into the ground. Despite being named "brace" roots, their function in supporting the plant was only recently discovered. This article discusses the current understanding of brace root function and development, as well as the numerous unanswered questions about these intriguing organs.

Summary: Eucalyptus nitens is a valuable forest alternative due to its fast growth and frost tolerance. However, the age-related decline in root formation limits its propagation. This study analyzed the transcriptomic profile variation during root formation in Eucalyptus nitens microcuttings and identified the molecular mechanisms involved. The expressions of candidate genes associated with recalcitrance were also quantified.

Summary: Waterlogging significantly impacts wheat growth and development by limiting oxygen availability in the root zone, which in turn negatively affects plant metabolism. The formation of adventitious roots and root cortical aerenchyma are important adaptive traits for plants to survive in waterlogged conditions, with certain genotypes showing promising potential for breeding waterlogging-tolerant wheat varieties.

Summary: In this study, the molecular mechanism of light quality regulating adventitious root formation of tea short cutting was elucidated through transcriptome and metabolome analyses. Blue light was found to promote adventitious root formation and was associated with increased levels of phytohormones such as Indole-3-carboxylic acid.

Summary: miR172 functions as a central regulator of flowering time and flower development by repressing APETALA2-LIKE transcription factors post-transcriptionally. In tomato, the miR172 family member sly-miR172 is differently expressed during reproductive development, playing a role in floral organ identity and number.

Summary: This study found that tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) significantly affects root development in tomato plants, leading to a decrease in root biomass, elongation, root-to-shoot ratio, and suppression of root branching. The study also identified the role of the plant gene SlARF10a in the ToBRFV-mediated suppression of root branching.

Summary: The tomato CRISPR mutant of the transcription factor gene AGAMOUS-like6 can lead to fertilization-independent fruit set with abnormal ovule development. The expression shift of SlAGL6 from immature ovule integument to endothelium suggests its role in preventing fertilization-independent fruit set. The upregulation of cytochrome P450 cell proliferation regulator SlKLUH in unfertilized mutant ovules indicates its importance in fruit set regulation.
