This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding their roles in perennial growth cycles and horticultural trait regulation, with a focus on their contributions to fruit development, secondary growth, and complex environmental adaptation. Structurally, C2H2-ZFPs harbor conserved zinc-coordinating motifs (C2H2 domains) and regulatory domains, enabling precise transcriptional control of developmental processes. In woody and horticultural plants, they integrate hormonal signals (e.g., auxin, ABA) and environmental cues (e.g., drought, photoperiod) to regulate seasonal dormancy and flowering timing in horticultural species, cambial activity for wood formation, and fruit ripening processes. Under abiotic stress, C2H2-ZFPs act as key modulators in ABA-dependent and independent pathways, governing osmotic balance, redox homeostasis, and stress memory. Meanwhile, emerging evidence also highlights their involvement in biotic stress responses. However, dissecting their regulatory networks in woody and horticultural species remains challenging due to genomic redundancy and complex regulatory layers. Future research should leverage multi-omics approaches and CRISPR-based tools to uncover their functional redundancy and species-specific adaptations, thereby advancing sustainable forestry and precision horticulture breeding under climate change.","PeriodicalId":13178,"journal":{"name":"Horticultural Plant Journal","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145059395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its biological importance, the molecular regulatory networks governing suberin biosynthesis are not fully understood. In the russet pericarp of ‘Dangshanjinsu’ pear, suberin accumulation, which is enriched with very long-chain fatty acids, contributes to the formation of a robust protective barrier. Transcriptome data analysis revealed that PbrMYB31 and PbrbHLH147 were the key differentially expressed transcription factors in the pericarp of both ‘Dangshansuli’ and ‘Dangshanjinsu’ at various developmental stages. In this study, overexpression of <ce:italic>PbrMYB31</ce:italic> and <ce:italic>PbrbHLH147</ce:italic> was found to positively regulate long-chain fatty acid synthesis, promote suberin formation, and increase sensitivity to abscisic acid (ABA). Additionally, PbrMYB31 interacts with PbrbHLH147, forming a regulatory complex that synergistically extends the carbon chain length of fatty acids, a critical step in suberin assembly. ABA signaling was shown to integrate into this pathway, further modulating suberin production and linking hormonal regulation with structural barrier formation. This study provides novel insights into the genetic and hormonal control of suberin biosynthesis in russeted pear pericarp, emphasizing its critical role in enhancing fruit protection, improving quality, and extending shelf life, thereby contributing to advancements in horticultural science and sustainable fruit production.","PeriodicalId":13178,"journal":{"name":"Horticultural Plant Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145059348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, 11 volatile metabolites, including methyl 2-(methylamino)benzoate and γ-terpinene, were found at significantly higher concentrations in Xinhui Chenpi than in other Chenpi resources.

Dual-luciferase reporter assays coupled with co-expression in <ce:italic>Nicotiana benthamiana</ce:italic> demonstrated that miR164 directly recognizes and promotes the degradation of PoLBD25 transcripts.

In response to these cues, endogenous phytohormones, genetic landscapes, and epigenetic remodeling play a significant role in initiating the reprogramming of somatic cells and re-establishment of an organized structure. Detailed studies on dedifferentiation have gradually unraveled the involvement of stem-like cells during early callus formation, along with the existence of QC-like transcriptional features in the middle cell layer of callus, which exhibits organ regeneration ability. Tracking natural variations and real-time regeneration dynamics across species, combined with single-cell RNA sequencing, will enable the identification of key developmental regulators and small peptides. These breakthroughs can be applied to enhance regeneration efficiency, improve transformation in recalcitrant species, and accelerate next-generation crop development. The current review summarizes the longstanding history and ongoing research progress in two pathways: dedifferentiation and redifferentiation. It also highlights how hormonal effects on the genetic factors and provides insights into how genetic signatures interact with epigenetic landscapes to drive these processes. It highlights the potential applications of developmental regulators for efficient gene transformation to enhance plant genetic engineering, while also addressing fundamental questions and identifying research gaps to guide future studies.","PeriodicalId":13178,"journal":{"name":"Horticultural Plant Journal","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145059352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low environmental phosphate (Pi) levels typically result in reductions in both plant yield and quality. Currently, limited reports have been published on the response of WRKY transcription factors to low Pi exposure among woody plants that grow within the acidic soils of mountains. Herein, the <ce:italic>CoWRKY53</ce:italic> gene in <ce:italic>Camellia oleifera</ce:italic> was recognized, and its relevance under low Pi conditions was explored. The <ce:italic>CoWRKY53</ce:italic> gene was highly induced in root under low Pi stress. Specifically, CoWRKY53 is a nuclear protein through tobacco subcellular localization experiment, and it functions as a transcriptional activator. Moreover, it was demonstrated that overexpression of <ce:italic>CoWRKY53</ce:italic> in <ce:italic>Arabidopsis</ce:italic> and poplars enhanced the biomass, acid phosphatase activity, and Pi concentration of these plants by altering the architecture of their root systems (RSA).

Malic acid (MA), an organic acid naturally found in various fruits and plants, serves as a key regulator in the rooting process.

Thus, this study investigates the effects of MA treatments on the AR morphology and the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms in <ce:italic>MdWOX11</ce:italic>-OE transgenic and GL3 (wild type, WT) microshoots. Preliminary experiments revealed that control microshoots exhibited higher AR numbers compared to MA-treated microshoots, with a medium level of MA treatment markedly improving AR length. <ce:italic>MdWOX11</ce:italic>-OE microshoots outperformed WT microshoots in both AR quantity and length, especially at the medium MA level, indicating a greater response to MA. Morphological observations over time showed a significant increase in AR primordia in <ce:italic>MdWOX11</ce:italic>-OE microshoots by day 8, correlated with increased mitotic activity in cambial cells. Endogenous hormone analysis showed higher indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) levels and lower methyl jasmonate (JA-me) in <ce:italic>MdWOX11</ce:italic>-OE microshoots, suggesting hormonal influences on AR formation. A total of 4104 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified through RNA sequencing, with significant enrichment of plant hormone signaling and stress-responsive pathways. Key auxin- and cytokinin-related DEGs revealed distinct expression patterns, illuminating the regulatory networks involved in AR formation. Moreover, DEGs related to the brassinosteroid (BR), gibberellin (GA), jasmonic acid (JA), abscisic acid (ABA), and ethylene (ET) signaling pathways were systematically analyzed, indicating complex regulatory networks. The identification of DEGs associated with starch and sucrose metabolism underscores the metabolic adjustments following adventitious rooting.
