Drought stress limits woody species productivity and influences tree distribution. However,
dissecting the molecular mechanisms that underpin drought responses in forest trees can be …

Drought frequency and severity are exacerbated by global climate change, which could
compromise forest ecosystems. However, there have been minimal efforts to systematically …

Populus euphratica is native to semi-arid regions of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous
Region of China, and studying its drought responses will greatly increase the understanding …

Drought stress frequently results in significant reductions in crop production and yield. Plant
U-box proteins (PUB) play a key role in the response to abiotic stress. Despite extensive …

Background The plant homeodomain (PHD) finger is a Cys 4 HisCys 3-type zinc finger
which promotes protein-protein interactions and binds to the cis-acting elements in the …

Drought tolerance varies considerably in different species of Populus, and is a complex trait,
involving the interplay of a vast array of genes. Although Populus simonii is one of the most …

Although the functions of WRKY transcription factors in drought resistance are well known,
their regulatory mechanisms in response to drought by stabilising photosynthesis remain …

The WRKY gene family, which is one of the largest transcription factor (TF) families, plays an
important role in numerous aspects of plant growth and development, especially in various …

WRKY transcription factors play crucial roles in plant response to environmental stresses.
This study aimed to investigate an uncharacterized gene (At2g30590) encoding AtWRKY21 …

As exposure to episodic drought can impinge significantly on forest health and the
establishment of productive tree plantations, there is great interest in understanding the …
