Genetic variation in CaTIFY4b contributes to drought adaptation in chickpea

Rutwik Barmukh et al.

Summary: Chickpea production is susceptible to drought stress. A genetic region called 'QTL-hotspot' has been identified to control chickpea growth and improve crop production under drought. A non-synonymous substitution in the CaTIFY4b transcription factor has been found to regulate seed weight and organ size in chickpea, and ectopic expression of CaTIFY4b in a different plant species enhances root growth under water deficit. Gene expression analysis suggests that CaTIFY4b may regulate organ size under water deficit by modulating the expression of a transcriptional co-activator called GIF1. These findings provide new insights into the physiological and molecular mechanisms of chickpea growth and production under specific drought conditions.

Characterization of 'QTL-hotspot' introgression lines reveals physiological mechanisms and candidate genes associated with drought adaptation in chickpea

Rutwik Barmukh et al.

Summary: Allelic variation in the 'QTL-hotspot' region influences drought adaptation in chickpea by affecting multiple traits such as seed weight, flowering time, early vigour, and transpiration efficiency. Introducing this region into elite chickpea cultivars improved seed yield under rainfall conditions and identified candidate genes and haplotypes for genetic manipulation to enhance chickpea improvement.

Construction of a high-density genetic map and QTL analysis for yield, yield components and agronomic traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Rutwik Barmukh et al.

Summary: By using a high-density genetic map and phenotypic data, 10 major-effect QTLs and 6 minor-effect QTLs affecting yield, yield components, and agronomic traits were identified. The major-effect QTLs for 100-seed weight and plant height contained important genes such as C3HC4 RING finger protein, pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein, sugar transporter, leucine zipper protein, and NADH dehydrogenase.

Heat Shock Signaling in Land Plants: From Plasma Membrane Sensing to the Transcription of Small Heat Shock Proteins

Baptiste Bourgine et al.

Summary: Heat stress events limit crop productivity, leading plants to accumulate heat-shock proteins (HSPs) for thermal protection. HSP chaperones play a critical role in regulating protein folding and preventing misfolded protein formation, thereby avoiding heat-induced cell death. The HSP20 family is tightly repressed at low temperatures, suggesting a costly mechanism that can become detrimental under unnecessary conditions.

Two interacting ethylene response factors regulate heat stress response

Jianyan Huang et al.

Summary: The study revealed the positive role of ethylene signaling, ERF95, and ERF97 in basal thermotolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana and established the relationship between them. EIN3 physically binds to the promoters of ERF95 and ERF97, enhancing plant response to heat stress. ERF95 and ERF97 function genetically downstream of EIN3 and increase basal thermotolerance by regulating a common set of target genes.
