Trichomes are specialized epidermal outgrowths serving as protective barriers for plants against various stresses such as herbivore attacks. MYB-bHLH-WD40 complex is of great significance for unicellular trichome formation in Arabidopsis, whereas its role in the formation of multicellular trichomes in tomato remains largely unknown.

In the early 1960s, researchers discovered abscisic acid (ABA), an important plant hormone, in cotton bolls that were about to abscise. As research on ABA continued to expand, its mysterious nature was gradually unveiled. Scientists found that ABA not only regulates plant growth and development but also plays a crucial role in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.

BLH1-like homeobox (BLH) transcription factors are widely distributed in plants and are a subfamily of the three-amino-acid loop extension (TALE) family. They play pivotal roles in plant growth and development processes and mediate plant responses to abiotic stress. However, recent studies on the function of BLHs have primarily focused on model plants or crops.

Plant peptide hormones play an important role in regulating root development and stress responses. Here, we identify a root-derived CLAVATA3/Endosperm surrounding region-related (CLE) peptide TaCLE24b and its leucine-rich repeatreceptor-like kinase CLAVATA1 (CLV1) TaCLV1, which together regulate theformation of lateral root primordium and the outgrowth of lateral root inwheat. Additionally, a loss-of-function mutation of TaSG-D1, encoding a Ser/Thr protein kinase glycogen synthase kinase 3 (STKc_GSK3), also enhances theformation of lateral root primordium and the outgrowth of lateral roots in wheat. Furthermore, TaCLV1 interacts with TaSG-D1, leading to phosphorylation and degradation of TaSG-D1. Whereas the presence of TaCLE24b enhances the binding affinity and phosphorylation ability of TaCLV1 to TaSG-D1,thereby positively fine-tuning lateral root development and contributing to drought tolerance in wheat. Overall, our findings provide new insights into the significance of the peptide signaling pathway in regulating lateral root development and responding to drought stress in wheat.

Pugionium cornutum (L.) Gaertn (P. cornutum) has strong tolerance to drought, salt and disease, but the tolerance mechanisms for such stresses in P. cornutum are largely unknown. In this study, we identified the PcNAC25 transcription factor gene in P. cornutum. Its open reading frame was revealed to comprise 891 bp, encoding a protein consisting of 297 amino acids, with an isoelectric point of 6.61. Phylogenetic analysis showed that PcNAC25 was most closely related to ANAC019.

Sucrose non-fermenting-1-related protein kinases (SnRKs) have been implicated in plant growth and stress responses. Although SnRK3.23 is known to be involved in drought stress, the underlying mechanism of resistance differs between Arabidopsis and rice, and little is known about its function in wheat.

Photoperiod Pathway in the Regulation of Flowering in Plants
Flowering is a crucial phase transition in the life cycle of higher plants, marking the shift from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. It plays a vital role in plant reproduction and environmental adaptation.
