Comparison of drought resistance of rootstocks 'M9-T337' and 'M26' grafted with 'Huashuo' apple

Cai-Yun Shi et al.

Summary: Drought stress is a major limiting factor in apple cultivation, and rootstock plays an important role in drought tolerance. This study analyzed the drought resistance of two apple hybrids, HM9 and HM26. The results showed that HM9 exhibited lower drought resistance compared to HM26, but it still had good drought resistance.

Current Studies of the Effects of Drought Stress on Root Exudates and Rhizosphere Microbiomes of Crop Plant Species

Yalin Chen et al.

Summary: This review systematically illustrates the impact of drought stress on root exudates and root-associated microbiomes, and discusses their mutual regulation in helping plants adapt to drought. The authors construct a framework for the mutual connections between the plant, root exudates, and the microbiome, and hope to provide significant guidelines for the study of drought resistance in plants associated with rhizosphere microbiota.

Drought-tolerant Pseudomonas sp. showed differential expression of stress-responsive genes and induced drought tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Humaira Yasmin et al.

Summary: Research showed that the growth and persistence of rhizobacteria in soils are highly affected by moisture stress. Specifically, four Pseudomonas strains isolated from the root-soil interface of rice and maize exhibited differential gene expression in response to different moisture levels during water deprivation. This study also demonstrated that inoculating Arabidopsis plants with these Pseudomonas strains can protect against drought stress, with PS2 strain showing higher resistance compared to the others.

Unravelling the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in mitigating the oxidative burst of plants under drought stress

Y-N Zou et al.

Summary: Continuous climate changes have made soil drought stress the main limiting factor for crop growth in arid and semi-arid regions. Plant-associated microbes like arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can regulate physiological and molecular responses to tolerate drought stress by enhancing antioxidant defence systems, which helps in coping with drought-induced oxidative damage.

Coumarin Communication Along the Microbiome-Root-Shoot Axis

Max J. J. Stassen et al.

Summary: Plants shape their rhizosphere microbiome by secreting root exudates into the soil. Coumarins, root-exuded compounds, have been identified as key players in plant-microbiome communication, promoting plant growth and health through iron uptake and antimicrobial activity. Coumarins may also play a role in signaling events from the microbiome to the root and shoot, similar to other compounds like strigolactones and flavonoids.

Plant Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis and Transcriptional Regulation in Response to Biotic and Abiotic Stress Conditions

Rahmatullah Jan et al.

Summary: Plant secondary metabolites play crucial roles in plant survival and ecological connections, providing defense against pathogens and stress. The accumulation of these metabolites is highly influenced by environmental factors, and their biosynthesis is regulated by various genes. Transcriptional factors such as WRKY, MYB, AP2/ERF, bZIP, bHLH, and NAC play key roles in regulating secondary metabolite biosynthesis in plants under stress conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic relationships between wild species and cultivated apples through genome sequencing of 297 Malus accessions. It was found that the hybrid species, including natural and artificial hybrids, are positioned between East and Central Asian wild species, with introgressions from M. sylvestris in cultivated apples being more extensive than those from M. sieversii. Additionally, natural SNP variations indicate that cultivated apples have higher nucleotide diversity than wild species.
