Low temperature severely limits tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production, yet the molecular mechanisms governing cold tolerance—particularly those involving COLD1 and GPA1—remain incompletely defined. To address this, processing tomato li...

The passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims), also known as the purple granadilla, is widely cultivated as the new darling of the fruit market throughout southern China. This exotic and perennial climber is adapted to warm and humid climates, and thus...

Low-temperature stress is a major factor that limits the productivity and geographical distribution of melon (Cucumis melo L.). This study elucidates that CmDUF239-1 is a positive regulator of cold stress, and its underlying mechanisms are investigat...

Previous studies have reported that low temperature (LT) constrains plant growth and restricts productivity in temperate regions. However, the underlying mechanisms are complex and not well understood. Over the past ten years, research on the process...

Cold stress limits plant geographical distribution and influences plant growth, development, and yields. Plants as sessile organisms have evolved complex biochemical and physiological mechanisms to adapt to cold stress. These mechanisms are regulated...

Cold stress severely impairs plant growth, development, and yields. L-ascorbic acid (ASA), a crucial antioxidant, is pivotal in mitigating stress-induced damage. Previous research found that 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2KGA), a precursor of ASA in its ind...

Cryopreservation is a crucial technique for the long-term ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources, particularly in the context of global biodiversity decline. This process entails freezing biological material at ultra-low temperatures using l...

Low-temperature stress, including chilling and freezing injuries, significantly impacts plant growth in tropical and temperate regions. Plants respond to cold stress by activating mechanisms that enhance freezing tolerance, such as regulating photosy...

Cold stress limits plant growth, development and yields, and the C-repeat binding factors (CBFs) function in the cold resistance in plants. However, how pomegranate CBF transcription factors respond to cold signal remains unclear. Considering the sig...

As with other environmental stresses, cold stress limits plant growth, geographical distribution, and agricultural productivity. CBF/DREB (CRT-binding factors/DRE-binding proteins) regulate tolerance to cold/freezing stress across plant species. ICE...

Cold-acclimated and non-acclimated contrasting Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) biotypes were investigated for changes in stress-associated biomarkers, including antioxidant enzyme activity, lipid peroxidation, protein, and proline content. In addition,...

Malus baccata (L.) Borkh is an apple rootstock with good drought and cold resistance. The ICE gene is a key factor in the molecular mechanisms of plant drought and cold resistance. In the present research, the function of drought- and cold-induced Mb...

The C-repeat binding factors (CBFs) gene is essential for plants’ cold response, which could not only be induced by the inducer of CBF expression (ICE) genes but also activated the expression of the cold-regulated (COR) gene, thereby participat...

Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is an evergreen fruit tree of Chinese origin, and its autumn–winter flowering and fruiting growth habit means that its fruit development is susceptible to low-temperature stress. In a previous study, the trip...

Background: Phospholipase A (PLA) enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of glycerophospholipids, releasing free fatty acids and lysophospholipids that play vital roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Methods: This study identified and a...

The pivotal role of CBF/DREB1 transcriptional factors in Triticeae crops involved in the abiotic stress response has been highlighted. The CBFs represent an important hub in the ICE-CBF-COR pathway, which is one of the most relevant mechanisms capabl...

Low temperature remarkably limits rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) growth, latex production, and geographical distribution, but the underlying mechanisms of Hevea brasiliensis cold stress response remain elusive. Here, we identified HbSnR...

Climate change and global warming are leading to a change in weather patterns toward hot and cold waves. Citrus fruits are a tropical or subtropical crop whose growth is altered by changes in weather patterns. Thus, in the present work, two experimen...

Chilling stress is considered the major abiotic stress affecting the growth, development, and yield of rice. To understand the transcriptomic responses and methylation regulation of rice in response to chilling stress, we analyzed a cold-tolerant var...

Trifolium repens L. (white clover) is a widely distributed perennial legume, which is regarded as one of the most important forages for its high protein content and excellent palatability. Low temperature limits the distribution and productivity of w...

Cold stress is a major environmental factor affecting the growth, development, and productivity of various crop species. With the current trajectory of global climate change, low temperatures are becoming more frequent and can significantly decrease...

Low temperature is a major limiting factor for the growth and reproduction of some plant species, such as tomato. So far, few studies have been conducted on the effects of low temperature, and the mechanisms of plants’ response to this type of stress...

Low-temperature stress severely restricts the growth, development, and yield of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.), a warm-loving crop with inherent low cold tolerance. NAC transcription factors (TFs) serve as crucial regulators in plant responses...

Late spring frosts can become one of the limiting factors for the expansion of cultivation area towards a harsher climate for the almond [Prunus amygdalus Batsch syn P. dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] crop as spring frost can damage up to 90% of the harves...

The phenylpropanoid compounds are crucial secondary metabolites for blueberry plants. Low temperatures induce the expression of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis genes and regulate the accumulation of phenylpropanoid metabolites. However, the molecular me...
