Genome-wide identification and characterization of the bZIP gene family in Siberian apricot (Prunus sibirica) and their role under cold stress.

The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor functions not only as a key regulator of plant ontogeny but also as a critical mediator of cold stress responses. Currently, bZIPs have been subjected to genome-wide identification and functional annotation in multiple species; however, systematic characterization an...

Physiological and transcriptomic analyses reveal the critical role of MsERF15 in negatively regulating cadmium stress tolerance in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa).

GCR6, a novel QTL regulating grain chalkiness in rice

Identification of the R2R3-MYB gene family in wild jujube (Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa) and analysis of its expression under drought stress

This study systematically elucidated the functional characteristics and regulatory network of the R2R3-MYB gene family in wild jujube, providing critical genetic resources and a theoretical basis for dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying drought tolerance in wild jujube and breeding drought-resistant cultivars...

The bp-miR156c–BpSPL2 module positively regulates drought tolerance by mediating lateral root development and reactive oxygen species scavenging in Betula platyphylla

It is demonstrated that the miR156/SPL module enhances drought tolerance in birch by modulating ROS homeostasis and lateral root development, providing novel molecular insights and a theoretical foundation for drought resistance research in birch trees.
