The Molecular Mechanism of <i>GhbHLH121</i> in Response to Iron Deficiency in Cotton Seedlings by Jie Li, Ke Nie, Luyao Wang, Yongyan Zhao, Mingnan Qu, Donglei Yang, Xueying Guan

“…The suppression of <i>GhbHLH121</i> with virus-induced gene silence technology reduced seedlings’ tolerance to iron deficiency, with low photosynthetic efficiency and severe damage to the structure of the chloroplast. Contrarily, ectopic expression of <i>GhbHLH121</i> in <i>Arabidopsis</i> enhanced tolerance to iron deficiency. …”

Transcriptomic Determination of the Core Genes Regulating the Growth and Physiological Traits of <i>Quercus mongolica</i> Fisch. ex Ledeb by Xinman Li, Min Jiang, Junjie Ren, Zhaohua Liu, Wanying Zhang, Guifen Li, Jinmao Wang, Minsheng Yang

“…The co-expression network also indicated key roles for genes related to the stress response (SDH, WAK5, APA1), metabolic processes (UGT76A2, HTH, At5g42100, PEX11C), signal transduction (INPS1, HSD1), and chloroplast biosynthesis (CAB13, PTAC16, PNSB5). Functional annotation of these core genes implies that <i>Q. mongolica</i> can adapt to different environments by regulating photosynthesis, plant hormone signal transduction, the stress response, and other key physiological and biochemical processes. …”
