Analysis of the role of a cyclophilin gene PoxCYP62-2, isolated from a halotolerant strain of Penicillium oxalicum, in abiotic stress tolerance of plants suggests that PoxCYP62-2 gene is a potential candidate for enhancing cold stress-tolerance of crop plants.
It is demonstrated that PlPAT1 functions as a positive regulator of salt stress tolerance, likely through modulating osmotic balance and enhancing reactive oxygen species scavenging capacity.

Physiological and biochemical analyses revealed that SiGolS3 exerts its cold-tolerant function by promoting RFO accumulation, which in turn maintains cellular osmotic homeostasis, alleviates reactive oxygen species damage, preserves plasma membrane integrity under low-temperature stress, and synergistically promotes co...
It is demonstrated that the heterologous expression of TsPAP1, a triticale gene encoding a prolyl aminopeptidase, enhances proline accumulation and confers increased Cu tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana, highlighting TsPAP1 as a promising target for engineering heavy metal-resilient crops.
