Summary Drought and salt stresses impose major constraints on soybean production worldwide. However, improving agronomically valuable traits under drought conditions can be challenging due to trait complexity multiple factors that influence yield. Here, we identified a nuclear factor Y C subunit (NF‐YC) family transcription member, GmNF‐YC14, which formed heterotrimer with GmNF‐YA16 GmNF‐YB2 activate the GmPYR1‐mediated abscisic acid (ABA) signalling pathway regulate stress tolerance in...

Summary Sterols have long been associated with diverse fields, such as cancer treatment, drug development, and plant growth; however, their underlying mechanisms functions remain enigmatic. Here, we unveil a critical role played by GmNF‐YC9‐mediated CCAAT‐box transcription complex in modulating the steroid metabolism pathway within soybeans. Specifically, this directly activates squalene monooxygenase (GmSQE1), which is rate‐limiting enzyme synthesis. Our findings demonstrate that...

Hypoxia administered after transient global cerebral ischemia (tGCI) has been shown to induce neuroprotection in adult rats, but the underlying mechanisms for this protection are unclear. Here, we tested hypothesis that hypoxic postconditioning (HPC) induces through upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth (VEGF), involves phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), p38 mitogen–activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), mitogen-activated kinase/extracellular...

ABSTRACT Hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) alleviates the selective and delayed neuronal death in hippocampal CA1 region induced by transient global cerebral ischemia (tGCI). This type of cell may include different programmed mechanisms, namely, apoptosis necroptosis. Although apoptotic signaling is well defined, mechanisms that underlie necroptosis are yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated whether HPC protects neurons from ischemia‐induced We observed tGCI up‐regulated...
