Identification and functional analysis of transcription factor MhWRKY71-like from Malus halliana in response to low temperature

Late spring coldness and late frost during bud burst are major low-temperature disasters in apple production, which seriously hinder the sustainable development of the apple industry. WRKY transcription factors play central regulatory roles in plant responses to abiotic stresses....

MdSPL1‐MdNF‐YB4‐MdCKX7 Module Positively Regulates Saline‐Alkali Tolerance by Mediating Cytokinin Levels in Apple

Saline-alkali stress is a major abiotic factor that compromises plant growth, crop yield, and quality. Cytokinin plays an essential role in plant responses to saline-alkali stress; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear in apple (Malus domestica). In this stu...
