Cold and drought co-occurring stress in peanut is linked to stress-specific polyamine biosynthesis, with NH5 showing stronger, sustained Put and Spm accumulation than FH18.
- Why it matters: Polyamine homeostasis is important for stress tolerance, but how cold, drought, and combined stress differentially regulate PA biosynthesis in peanut is unclear.
- What they did: The study identified 22 PA biosynthesis genes (ADC, AIH, CPA, ODC, SAMDC, SPDS, SPMS) in peanut and compared NH5 versus FH18 under cold, drought, and combined stress using gene expression, enzyme activity, Mantel tests, and PLS-DA.
- The result: Cold aligned with SPMS-mediated Spm biosynthesis, drought with ODC-mediated Put biosynthesis, and combined stress with coordinated ADC/ODC-driven Put production plus SPMS-mediated Spm accumulation, highlighting AhSPMS1 and stress-dependent candidates.
