The PtoERF1 ‐ PtomiR393a ‐ PtoFBL4 module confers drought tolerance via ABA –auxin crosstalk in Populus

Drought stress limits forest tree growth and adaptation, with xylem vessels critical for hydraulic transport and structural integrity. However, the molecular mechanisms of abscisic acid (ABA)-auxin interaction in regulating vessel morphogenesis under water-deficit conditions rema...

A molecular rheostat of ABA signaling coordinates the trade-off between stem growth and drought adaptation

Abstract Background Plants balance vegetative growth and stress responses through antagonistic phytohormone crosstalk, notably between abscisic acid (ABA) and cytokinin. However, the genetic architecture and molecular mechanisms driving this adaptive trade-off, particularly in pe...
