Transgenic plants as genetic models for studying functions of plant genes by A. V. Kochetov, V. K. Shumny

“…It was also found that these plants were more tolerant to various abiotic stresses (drought, NaCl, cold, toxic heavy metals), which may result from the protective proline effect early in exposure to stress, preventing the cellular gene expression machinery from damage by stress-generated free radicals.…”

MLAS: Machine Learning-Based Approach for Predicting Abiotic Stress-Responsive Genes in Chinese Cabbage by Xiong You, Yiting Shu, Xingcheng Ni, Hengmin Lv, Jian Luo, Jianping Tao, Guanghui Bai, Shusu Feng

“…This study presents a computational model utilizing machine learning techniques to predict genes in Chinese cabbage that respond to four abiotic stresses: cold, heat, drought, and salt. To construct this model, data from relevant studies regarding responses to these abiotic stresses were compiled, and the protein sequences encoded by abiotic SRGs were converted into numerical representations for subsequent analysis. …”

Nitrogen Cycling in a Norway Spruce Plantation in Denmark — A SOILN Model Application Including Organic N Uptake by Claus Beier, Henrik Eckersten, Per Gundersen

“…In the control data, the needle-N concentration was well reproduced except for small underestimations in some years because of drought effects not included in the model. In the N-addition experiment, SOILN reproduces the observed changes; in particular, the changes in needle-N concentrations and the overall distribution within the ecosystem of the extra added 3.5 g N m�2 year�1 parallel the observations. …”

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of bHLH gene family revealed their potential roles in abiotic stress response, anthocyanin biosynthesis and trichome formation in... by Guohua Ding, Yanping Shi, Kerui Xie, Hongbin Li, Guanghui Xiao

“…Additionally, certain subfamily III (d+e) GubHLH members could be implicated in the licorice drought response. GubHLH108, GubHLH109, and GubHLH116 were suggested to form a tightly related cluster, initiating transcriptional responses via JA signaling pathway.DiscussionIn summary, our findings furnish a foundational understanding for future investigations of GubHLH gene functions and regulation mechanisms, shedding light on the potential applications of licorice in medicine and agriculture.…”
