The transcription factor MhZAT10 enhances antioxidant capacity by directly activating the antioxidant genes MhMSD1, MhAPX3a, and MhCAT1 in apple rootstock SH6 (Malus honanensis × M. domestica).

A stress-tolerant rootstock for apple, SH6, activates antioxidant enzymes through transcription factor MhZAT10, improving stress tolerance. MhZAT10 boosts antioxidant enzyme activity and reduces ROS, enhancing plant growth and stress resistance.

Genome-wide analysis of the MADS-box gene family of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides ssp. sinensis) and their potential role in floral organ development.

This study identified 92 MADS-box genes in sea buckthorn, showing Type II genes may have a more significant role in flower development. ABCDE model genes may play a crucial role in organ identity. These findings can help understand the regulatory mechanism of sex differentiation in sea buckthorn.
