The New Mechanism of Volatile Glycosylation in Regulating the Low-temperature and Drought Stress of Tea Plants

Low temperature and drought are important environmental factors that limit the growth, survival, and geographical distribution of tea plants. Although the mechanisms of plant cold and drought resistance under single stress have been extensively studied, the interaction between different stresses can lead to complex mechanisms when low temperature and drought occur simultaneously. Currently, only a very limited number of substances, such as ABA, have been proven to integrate plant drought and low temperature responses, and the roles of other secondary metabolites in the interaction between the two stresses in plants are still unclear.
Recently, a research paper entitled “(Z)-3-hexenol integrates drought and cold stress signaling by activating abscisic acid glucosylation in tea plants” was published online in the classic authoritative plant biology journal Plant Physiology, which reveals that cis-3-hexenol integrates low-temperature and drought stress through glycosylation, providing new insights into the mechanism of volatile-mediated responses to low-temperature and drought stress.
The study was supported by projects such as the National Key R&D Program and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
