BackgroundDrought stress is an environmental factor that limits plant growth and reproduction. Little research has been conducted to investigate the MLP gene in tobacco. Here, NtMLP423 was isolated and identified, and its role in drought stress was studied.ResultsOverexpression of NtMLP423 improved tolerance to drought stress in tobacco, as determi...

Water deficit has a global impact on plant growth and crop yield. Climate changes are going to increase the intensity, duration and frequency of severe droughts, particularly in southern and south-eastern Europe, elevating the water scarcity issues. We aimed to assess the contribution of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) in the protective mechanisms a...

AbstractThe effect of synthetic auxin 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) on the ontogenesis of fruits was studied in tomato. Pollination of flowers of Solanum lycopersicum L., cv. Slivovidnyi, brought about the production in the ovaries of auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) governing fruit development. The treatment of castrated flowers with 4-CPA al...

To examine the dwarfing mechanism in apples, one-year-old Marubakaido (Malus prunifolia Borkh.) (invigorating) apple rootstock stools were foliar-sprayed with 860 mg L-1 of paclobutrazol (PBZ) as a single application or without. M.9 apple rootstock (dwarf) was used as a positive control. The phytohormones were estimated in the shoot bark and sub-ap...

ABA is involved in plant responses to a broad range of pathogens and exhibits complex antagonistic and synergistic relationships with salicylic acid (SA) and ethylene (ET) signaling pathways, respectively. However, the specific receptor of ABA that triggers the positive and negative responses of ABA during immune responses remains unknown. Through ...

Drought and salt stress are the main environmental cues affecting the survival, development, distribution, and yield of crops worldwide. MYB transcription factors play a crucial role in plants’ biological processes, but the function of pineapple MYB genes is still obscure. In this study, one of the pineapple MYB transcription factors, AcoMYB4 , was...

Lycophytes are the earliest diverging extant lineage of vascular plants, sister to all other vas-cular plants. Given that most species are adapted to ever-wet environments, it has been hypothesized that lycophytes, and by extension the common ancestor of all vascular plants, have few adaptations to drought. We investigated the responses to drought ...

BackgroundHigh soil salinity can cause significant losses in rice productivity worldwide, mainly because salt inhibits plant growth and reduces grain yield. To cope with environmental changes, plants have evolved several adaptive mechanisms that involve the regulation of many stress-responsive genes.ResultsIn this study, we identified OsSTAP1, whic...

The current work is aimed at assessing the impact of abscisic acid (ABA) on the resistance of two drought contrasting sweet potato cultivars, namely, Jishu 21 (J21, tolerant) and Jizishu 1 (JZ1, sensitive), to early drought stress (DS). Each cultivar was subjected to three treatments as follows: control, well-watered; early DS + foliar application ...
