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…

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,…
