Genome-wide analysis of the metallothionein gene family in cassava reveals its role in response to physiological stress through the regulation of reactive oxygen species

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is widely planted in tropical and several subtropical regions in which drought, high temperatures, and other abiotic stresses occur. Metallothionein (MT) is a group of conjugated proteins with small molecular

‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ colonization in citrus trees grafted onto rootstocks of citrus relatives

European Journal of Horticultural Science
Genetic resistance to ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) is considered a promising long-term solution to control Huanglongbing (HLB), given that all commercial citrus varieties are susceptible to the disease. Only a few citrus relatives have been
