ABSTRACT Drought constitutes a major abiotic stress limiting alfalfa productivity. To elucidate the genetic basis of drought tolerance, a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in alfalfa, which identified a CBF/DREB1 family transcription factor designated MsCBF8.

ABSTRACT The escalating frequency and intensity of recent droughts threaten global crop production and food security. Although drought priming is crucial for plant drought resilience, the mechanisms imparting drought stress memory remain poorly understood, especially in crops such as tomato. This study elucidates the mechanisms of drought stress memory

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

ABSTRACT Light is a primary environmental signal that induces plant anthocyanin accumulation. The plant growth regulator 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has also been proven to effectively promote anthocyanin accumulation in apple. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unknown.

Leaf Tissue‐Specific Phosphorus Allocation Is Linked to Leaf Lifespan in Chickpea Accessions
ABSTRACT Plants strategically allocate phosphorus (P) among leaf tissues to support physiological functions. However, there is limited understanding of contrasting leaf cellular P‐allocation patterns and their physiological consequences. We quantified leaf P fractions, photosynthetic P‐use efficiency (PPUE), and P‐remobilisation efficiency (PRE) in ...

tasselseed1 is a lipoxygenase affecting jasmonic acid signaling in sex determination of maize
Sex determination in maize is controlled by a developmental cascade leading to the formation of unisexual florets derived from an initially bisexual floral meristem. Abortion of pistil primordia in staminate florets is controlled by a tasselseed-mediated

Trichomes in Plant Defence, Development and Metabolic Integration Under Environmental Stress
ABSTRACT Among various plant defence strategies, trichomes are tiny hair‐like structures on the epidermis that aid in defence, environmental adaptation and the production of valuable secondary metabolites. This review features trichomes as frontline guards for plant survival, integrating their structural, physiological and metabolic roles in ...
