Locus-aware characterization of wheat LOG-related genes and their transcriptional responses to abiotic stress.

LONELY GUY (LOG) phosphoribohydrolases catalyze the final direct step in cytokinin activation, but their composition and stress-responsive regulation remain difficult to resolve in allohexaploid wheat because homoeology, alternative transcript models and annotation errors inflate apparent gene-family size. We conducted...

Genetic dissection of inherited cold-stress reveals resilience hotspots in barley

Integrated genome-wide and expression analysis of YABBY genes in Triticum aestivum under PEG-induced osmotic, cold and combined stress.

This revised study re-examined YABBY-associated protein models and integrated phylogenetic, structural, promoter, public transcriptomic and qRT-PCR analyses, with emphasis on cold and PEG-induced osmotic stress, and prioritizes candidates for future functional validation under controlled osmotic and cold stress conditi...

Phylogenomics and expression profiling of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) magnesium transporters under dual drought and salinity stress conditions

The expression analysis of TaMGT genes shows coordinated but differential induction under combined drought and salinity stress, with core members broadly activated and others displaying tissue-specific responses, underscoring their roles in Mg2⁺ homeostasis while cautioning that double-stress specificity remains unveri...
