Exploring the deleterious effects of heavy metal cadmium on antioxidant defense and photosynthetic pathways in higher plants

Plant Stress
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal and a major inorganic pollutant in soil ecosystems. Due to its high mobility and solubility, plants easily absorb Cd, affecting their physiological and biochemical processes, crop quality, and ultimately human ...

Physiological response and transcriptomic analysis of red-fleshed apple seedlings to low temperature stress

Plant Stress
Low temperature (LT) stress negatively impacts the yield and quality of key horticultural crops such as apples. While previous research has predominantly focused on white-fleshed apple varieties with limited cold tolerance, the mechanisms underlying low ...

Recover and surpass: The mechanisms of plants transition upon rehydration from drought

Plant Stress
As the global climate shifts and precipitation patterns evolve, the drought resistance of plants is being increasingly tested. There is a notable variation in the post-drought rehydration recovery capabilities among different plant species, which ...

Harnessing macroalgal cell walls to trigger immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant Stress
There is an increasing need to find sustainable alternatives to conventional agrochemicals to reduce biotic stress in crops. One possible strategy is based on promoting the innate defences of plants by stimulating their immune system.

Identification and functional characterization of the BnRAP2.3.2 promoter in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) for waterlogging stress tolerance

Plant Stress
Brassica napus (rapeseed) experiences yield reduction due to waterlogging. ERF-Ⅶ transcription factors are proved to be key components of oxygen sensing response in plants. There is no report about ERF-Ⅶ genes on waterlogging tolerance in rapeseed.

Significance of photosystem integrity and reducing Cd accumulation in mitigating Cd stress on olive tree inoculated with soil-borne bacteria consortium is variety-dependent

Plant Stress
Rhizosphere microbial community role in boosting fruit tree ability to cope with heavy metals is gaining interest. Here, we address the effects of in-frame holobiont microbial inoculation on two Tunisian olive tree varieties (Olea europaea L.

Fungal community dynamics and anthocyanin profiling of grapevine leaves in a vineyard affected by esca

Plant Stress
Leaves in grapevines affected by esca, a grapevine trunk disease, may occasionally manifest a symptom known as the ‘esca leaf stripe symptom.’ Most frequently, this symptom appears as scorching in the interveinal tissue, with red pigmentation observed ...
