Abstract excerpt
High-temperature stress severely impairs plant growth, compromising crop yield and quality. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade (MAPKKK-MAPKK-MAPK) is a highly conserved signaling module involved in plant responses to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. As the central component, MAPKK plays a critical role in signal transduction. However, its role in heat stress and underlying mechanisms remains...
