Climate change-induced extreme heat and drought increasingly threaten plant growth and development, significantly impacting sexual reproduction. Heat and drought stress can disrupt key stages of plant sexual reproduction, including flowering time, gametophyte development, pollination, and seed formation, leading to infertility and substantial yield reductions in crops. A key consequence is compromised agricultural productivity and heightened food insecurity. The productivity in terms of crop yield is reduced due to a direct correlation between phenology and climate change. The reproductive organs of a plant and other parameters that define good fertility of a species are all affected by the increasing temperatures during their vegetative and reproductive phases of growth and development. This review dissects the detrimental effects of high temperatures on pollen grain viability, germination, and morphology, directly translating to yield reductions in major crops. It underscores the critical role of pollen viability and germination studies as potential tools for identifying heat-tolerant genotypes crucial for future food security.

Alternative splicing (AS) is one of the major post-transcriptional regulation processes that potentially regulates the response to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. So far, the insight into potential roles of AS in grapevine response to aluminium (Al) and flagellin 22 (flg22) stresses remains poorly understood. We performed transcriptome sequencing of grape leaves before and after Al treatment and flg22 treatment, respectively, to identify AS genes. In this study, a total of 11,805 AS events were identified in Al treatment, of which the skipped exon (SE; 88.72%) type was the most frequent. 9156 AS events were identified under flg22 treatment, of which the SE (88.52%) type was the most frequent. Compared with Al-treated and flg22-treated 0 h, there were 42 and 147 differential alternative splicing (DAS) genes differentially expressed (DASEGs) in Al-treated and flg22-treated 12 h, respectively. Functional analysis showed that DASEGs after Al treatment were mainly enriched in glutathione metabolism pathway; DASEGs after flg22 treatment were enriched in MAPK signaling and plant hormone signal transduction. We further verified seven resistance-related DASEGs with up-regulated expression in Al-treated 12 h, including beta-glucosidase, calcineurin B-like protein, synaptotagmin-3, cysteine synthase and glutathione reductase. Several genes function as leucine-rich repeats receptor-like serine/threonine protein kinase, BRI1 associated receptor kinase 1 and receptor-like protein kinase were also verified by RT-qPCR. We also verified four serine/arginine (SR)-rich proteins SCL30A, SCL28, RS2Z32 and SR45A, which were up-regulated in both Al and flg22 stresses.

Raising awareness about disease management strategies among scientists and rice growers is crucial to mitigating its impact. Modern advancements, including omics-based approaches such as genome assisted breeding, genetic engineering, genome editing, and nanotechnology, play a crucial role in developing effective management strategies to combat false smut. The world's rice supply is at risk from the fungal disease Ustilaginoidea virens, which causes rice false smut (RFS), can lead to significant production losses and quality degradation. In the past few decades, numerous strategies have been developed to combat this pervasive sickness, ranging from advanced biotechnology interventions to traditional farming practices. The development of nanotechnology has opened up new avenues for combating RFS by offering innovative ways to increase the precision and effectiveness of disease control tactics. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the long term strategies for managing rice fake smut, focusing on using multi-omics approaches combined with nanotechnology. Over the years, various strategies, from advanced biotechnology to traditional farming, have been developed to combat this disease. Nanotechnology offers innovative and efficient solutions for RFS management. We examined the past background of RFS management while assessing the merits and drawbacks of traditional techniques. Then, we explored the most recent developments in nano-technological applications like nano-pesticides, nanosensors, and nanoformulations, diagnostics developments, genome editing, molecular breeding along with metabolic engineering emphasizing how they could transform RFS control in different rice-growing areas globally. The current review is scrutinizes the foremost obstacles and applying sophisticated techniques for the management of RFS.

Through comprehensive analysis of the genomic data from the mango cultivar Guire 82 (Mangifera indica L.), two COL13 homologs, designated MiCOL13 A and MiCOL13B, were successfully characterized. Phylogenetic categorization revealed that MiCOL13 A and MiCOL13B cluster within evolutionary clade III of the CONSTANS-like superfamily. These two homologous genes displayed a circadian rhythm and were strongly expressed in the leaves throughout the flowering induction phase.

However, overexpression of MiCOL13 A promoted early flowering in Arabidopsis, and MiCOL13B delayed flowering under long-day (LD) conditions. Subcellular localization demonstrated that the nucleus was the location of MiCOL13 A and MiCOL13B. The study also revealed that the overexpression of MiCOL13 A and MiCOL13B enhances Arabidopsis resistance to salt and drought stresses, resulting in overexpressing lines with longer roots and higher survival rates. Investigations of physiological and biochemical parameters revealed that elevated expression of MiCOL13 A/B significantly upregulated the expression of stress-responsive endogenous genes in A. thaliana under saline and drought conditions.
