Heat stress severely impacts the growth and development of potato plants. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying thermotolerance, particularly the role of WRKY transcription factors (TFs), remain poorly understood. Here, we identified StWRKY65 as a heat-responsive gene in potato, demonstrating...

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are known to activate immune signaling in plants; however, their effectiveness can vary depending on the genotype and the signaling pathway involved. In this study, we evaluated the transcriptional response of four citrus rootstocks (Carrizo citrange, Forner...

Descrizione completa

Brassica napus, Camelina sativa and field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense), represent one highly economically valuable crop and two emerging oilseed crops of the Brassicaceae family, respectively. As sessile organisms, these crops are continuously exposed to various stresses when grown in the field. Int...
