Melatonin-Regulated Hair Follicle Growth in Cashmere Goats: Molecular Insights Across Breeds
Overview: Melatonin as a Regulator of Cashmere Hair Growth Cashmere production hinges on the biology of hair follicles and their cyclical growth. A growing body of research indicates that the hormone melatonin plays a key regulatory role in hair follicle activity, potentially influencing fiber yield, quality, and seasonal shedding. Recent integrative studies combine transcriptomic and…

Molybdate Transporter SlMOT2 Enhances Nitrate Stress Tolerance in Tomato Seedlings: A Transcriptomic Perspective
Introduction: The nitrate stress challenge in tomato cultivation Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a globally important crop, prized for its nutritional compounds and economic value in protected agriculture. However, excessive calcium nitrate in saline greenhouse soils imposes nitrate stress, reducing germination, growth, photosynthesis, and overall yield. Understanding the genes that confer nitrate tolerance is crucial for…
