Under Stress: Searching for genes involved in the response of Abies pinsapo Boiss to climate change. Blanca Reyes, Irene Victoria Lechuga, Víctor Llebrés, María Teresa Carreira de la Fuente, José Antonio Ávila-Sáez, Concepción Cánovas-Ramos, Francisco Miguel Castro-Rodríguez, Vanessa Viviana Abetos españoles Plantas - Efectos del estrés Genetica vegetal Cambios climáticos Currently, Mediterranean forests are experiencing the deleterious effects of global warming, which mainly include increased temperatures and decreased precipitation in the region. Relict Abies pinsapo fir forests, endemic in the southern Iberian Peninsula, are especially sensitive to these recent environmental disturbances, and identifying the genes involved in the response of this endangered tree species to climate-driven stresses is of paramount importance for mitigating their effects. Genomic resources for A. pinsapo allow for the analysis of candidate genes reacting to warming and aridity in their natural habitats. Several members of the complex gene families encoding late embryogenesis abundant proteins (LEAs) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been found to exhibit differential expression patterns between wet and dry seasons when samples from distinct geographical locations and dissimilar exposures to the effects of climate change were analyzed. The observed changes were more perceptible in the roots of trees, particularly in declining forests distributed at lower altitudes in the more vulnerable mountains. These findings align with previous studies and lay the groundwork for further research on the molecular level. Molecular and genomic approaches offer valuable insights for mitigating climate stress and safeguarding this endangered conifer. 2025-02-19T11:39:26Z 2025-02-19T11:39:26Z 2024-04-26 journal article n: Blanca-Reyes, I.; Lechuga, V.; Llebrés, M.T.; Carreira, J.A.; Ávila, C.; Cánovas, F.M.; Castro-Rodríguez, V.
