Decoding a Molecular Brake on Drought Tolerance in Tree Peony Newswise — As global climate change intensifies, drought events are becoming more frequent and severe, posing a major threat to agricultural productivity and ornamental plant cultivation. Water deficiency disrupts cellular homeostasis, damages membranes, and triggers excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), ultimately impairing plant growth and survival. While physiological responses to drought have been widely studied, the regulatory networks that coordinate gene expression during water stress remain incompletely understood, particularly in woody ornamental species. MicroRNAs have emerged as key regulators of plant stress responses, yet their roles in drought adaptation are still underexplored in many crops. Based on these challenges, there is a critical need to investigate microRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms that govern drought responses at the molecular level. Researchers from Henan University of Science and Technology and collaborating institutions report new insights into drought-response regulation in tree peony in a study published (DOI: 10.1093/hr/uhaf252) in Horticulture Research in 2025. Using multi-omics approaches combined with genetic and physiological analyses, the team identified a drought-responsive regulatory module centered on the microRNA PomiR172d and its target gene PoARR. Their work reveals how this module influences ROS metabolism and determines plant sensitivity or tolerance to water stress. The researchers subjected tree peony plants...

North Florida drought strains farmers as dry conditions persist Farmers across north central Florida are adjusting to worsening drought conditions as limited rainfall continues to dry out soil and complicate crop production heading into the spring growing season.

North Florida drought strains farmers as dry conditions persist

North Florida fields are drying out faster, forcing growers to irrigate more to prepare fields for planting.

William Mulholland and the St. Francis Dam Disaster The St. Francis Dam collapse in 1928, caused by a series of human errors and poor engineering decisions, resulted in the deaths of approximately 600 people, marking it as one of California's worst disasters. Key lessons include the importance of proper education and oversight in engineering, the dangers of hubris, and the consequences of ignoring warnings. Following the disaster, significant legal and structural changes were made to improve dam safety regulations. - Download as a PPTX, PDF or view online for free

Today is the anniversary of the St Francis Dam failure. He started out as a ditch digger in #LosAngeles. Designed the Aqueduct still used. With no formal education he designed dams & waterways. The St. Francis Dam was a crowning achievement until . . . #drought www.slideshare.net/slideshow/wi...

The U.S. Drought Monitor shows the spatial extent and severity of drought across the country.

The change maps shows where drought eased in green and areas of drought deterioration in yellow.

Drought worsened in parts of the West and High Plains, but improved across a wide swath of the Midwest. Drought covers 53.97% of the continental US, a decrease of 0.91 points from the previous week. The snowpack remains very low in the West.

Following a drier-than-normal winter, a pattern change at the beginning of March resulted in widespread heavy precipitation. This improved drought and dryness in parts of the Ohio Valley and Middle to Lower Mississippi Valley.

A sliver of good news. Last week's wet snow storm has brought the Denver Metro area down one drought category from Extreme to Severe. A small win, but given the forecast for the rest of the March, it's not worth celebrating. Drought has further intensified west of the Divide #COwx #Colorado #Drought
