Genome-wide identification and genetic characterization of the CaMYB family and its response to five types of heavy metal stress in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum cv. CM334)

Yu-Feng Xie et al.

Summary: MYB proteins play a crucial role in plant growth, development, stress responses, and heavy metal stress. The study identified R2R3-MYB members and classified them into 35 subgroups based on conserved gene structures. Segmental duplication events played a crucial role in functional expansion of the CaMYB gene family, and some CaMYB family genes were upregulated under stress of five metal ions.

Molecular mechanisms of plant adaptive responses to heavy metals stress

Iryna V. Kosakivska et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms of plant adaptive and defense responses during metal stress, including entry, transport and accumulation of heavy metals, effects on physiological processes, gene expressions, and ion sequestration. The most important mechanism of heavy metal tolerance was found to be extracellular and intracellular sequestration, with an emphasis on the role of organic anions and cellular receptors. The functioning of chloroplasts, mitochondria, and the Golgi complex under heavy metal stress were also analyzed.

Muhammad Kamran et al.

Summary: The combined application of ABA and BAP significantly improved plant biomass, root morphology, and chlorophyll contents of tomato, while also reducing oxidative stress indicators by activating enzymatic antioxidant activities. Supplying 6-BAP alone or in combination with ABA at 10 μM L-1 was found to be the most effective in reducing Co accumulation in both roots and shoots of tomato plants.
