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…

SlMOT2 Boosts Tomato Nitrate Stress Tolerance Through Molybdate Transport and Metabolic Reprogramming
Overview: SlMOT2 as a key mediator of nitrate stress tolerance in tomato Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) faces nitrate-related stress in saline greenhouse soils, where high nitrate and calcium levels disrupt growth, photosynthesis, and redox balance. A recent transcriptomic study identifies SlMOT2, a molybdate transporter, as a pivotal regulator that enhances nitrate stress tolerance in tomato seedlings.…

Molybdate Transporter MOT2 Boosts Nitrate Stress Tolerance in Tomato Seedlings: A Transcriptomic Perspective
Introduction: Tackling nitrate stress in tomato cultivation Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a globally important crop, valued for its nutritional compounds and economic significance in protected agriculture. In greenhouse systems, secondary soil salinization and excessive nitrate exposure pose challenges to yield and quality. High nitrate stress, often accompanied by Ca2+ in salinized soils, disrupts growth, photosynthesis,…
