ABSTRACT Members of the cyclic nucleotide‐gated channel (CNGC) proteins are reportedly involved in a variety biotic and abiotic responses stomatal movement. However, it is unknown if how single member could regulate multiple responses. Here we characterized three closely related CNGC genes rice, OsCNGC14 , OsCNGC15 OsCNGC16 to determine whether they function stresses. The loss‐of‐function mutants each these had reduced calcium ion (Ca 2+ ) influx slower closure response heat, chilling, drought stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA). These also tolerance chilling compared with wild‐type. Conversely, overexpression led more rapid stresses enhanced drought. tight association strongly suggests that conferred by OsCNGC results at least partially from their regulation In addition, physical interactions were observed among but not distantly CNGC, suggesting formation hetero‐oligomers themselves. This study unveils crucial role OsCNGC14, 15 16 stresses, mechanism involves movement regulation.

Low-temperature stress, including chilling and freezing injuries, significantly impacts plant growth in tropical temperate regions. Plants respond to cold stress by activating mechanisms that enhance tolerance, such as regulating photosynthesis, metabolism, protein pathways producing osmotic regulators antioxidants. Membrane stability is crucial, with cold-resistant plants exhibiting higher lipid unsaturation maintain fluidity normal metabolism. Low temperatures disrupt reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading oxidative damage, which mitigated antioxidant defenses. Hormonal regulation, involving ABA, auxin, gibberellins, others, further supports adaptation. also manage balance accumulating like proline sugars. Through complex regulatory pathways, the ICE1-CBF-COR cascade, optimize gene expression survive ensuring adaptability conditions. This study reviews recent advancements genetic engineering technologies aimed at enhancing resistance of agricultural crops. The goal provide insights for improving tolerance developing new cold-tolerant varieties.

Cold stress is a significant factor limiting plant growth and development. Pomegranate particularly susceptible to low temperatures. Calmodulin-binding transcriptional activators (CAMTAs) are key regulators of cold tolerance in plants. In this study, we conducted comprehensive analysis the CAMTA family proteins across 12 species, including Punica granatum (pomegranate), using bioinformatic methods. CAMTA3 (PgCAMTA3) was isolated characterized, it demonstrated enhanced when expressed Arabidopsis thaliana. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) showed that expression PgCAMTA3 up-regulated under ABA treatments pomegranates. Two A. thaliana transgenic lines, OE1 OE2, which overexpress PgCAMTA3, were generated through genetic transformation. The overexpression OE2 exhibited higher survival rates stress. Furthermore, enzymatic activity assays revealed peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) OE lines. These antioxidant activities collectively contribute better by providing more effective reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging cellular protection mechanisms, confirmed lower levels malondialdehyde (MDA) ROS production. addition, led upregulation AtCBF2, AtNCED3, AtWRKY22, modulated CAMTA3. summary, report role tolerance.

Cold stress significantly challenges cotton growth and productivity, yet the genetic molecular mechanisms underlying cold tolerance remain poorly understood. We employed RNA-seq iterative weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to investigate transposable element (TE) expression changes at six time points (0 h, 2 4 6 12 24 h). Thousands of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, exhibiting time-specific patterns that highlight a phase-dependent transcriptional response. While A D subgenomes contributed comparably DEG numbers, numerous homeologous pairs showed differential expression, indicating regulatory divergence. Iterative WGCNA uncovered 125 modules, with some enriched in specific chromosomes or chromosomal regions, suggesting localized hotspots for Notably, transcription factors, including MYB73, ERF017, MYB30, OBP1, emerged as central regulators within these modules. Analysis 11 plant hormone-related revealed dynamic ethylene (ETH) cytokinins (CK) playing significant roles stress-responsive pathways. Furthermore, we documented over 15,000 TEs, TEs forming five distinct clusters. TE families, such LTR/Copia, demonstrated enrichment clusters, their potential role modulators under stress. These findings provide valuable insights into complex networks response cotton, highlighting key components involved regulation.

Drought stress caused a significant threat to apple growth and production. Although there is an increasing studies concerning the molecular mechanism in response drought, most of these focus on leaves. However, roots first organism sense drought signal play important role response. The mechanisms underlying needs be further explored. In this study, we conducted comparative transcriptomic analysis from drought-resistant (Malus prunifolia) drought-susceptible hupehensis) genotypes under different soil water contents with 60% (control), 30% (mild drought), 10% (moderate 5% (severe drought). Mapman pathways showed that Malus prunifolia exhibited more rapid activation abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis (NCED, PYL) signaling pathway, as well induction transcription factors (NAC, WRKY, MYB) compare mild moderate treatments. This might one reasons why exhibits greater resistance. Furthermore, weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) was adopted for identification core drought-responsive genes. Notably, three hub genes, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 32 (UBC32), basic leucine-zipper 4 (bZIP4), highly ABA-induced PP2C 2 (HAI2), were selected modules, suggesting their vital roles Taken together, our results gain insights into global expression alterations drought-resistance susceptible germplasms conditions identify some key genes involved response, which helpful breeding future.
