Candida albicans, a World Health Organization critical-priority fungal pathogen, represents the predominant cause of candidemia. Therapeutic failure is sometimes driven by antifungal tolerance, a phenotype distinct from resistance, whose underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined....
Chemical pollution is a major concern for freshwater ecosystems, but the impact and mechanisms of chemical stressors on communities are barely understood. Pollution stress beyond natural homeostatic capacities can trigger succession of tolerant species within a community, enhancing the overall co...
Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the transcription factor INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1 (ZmICE1) plays a prominent role in reprogramming amino a...
Cadmium (Cd) in agricultural soils inhibits potato growth, disrupts tuber development, and causes Cd accumulation in edible tubers, threatening food safety. Here, we determined the EC50 of Cd in potato, which induced oxidative stress and chloroplast damage. Transcriptomic and metabolomic co-analy...
