Abstract
The m⁶A demethylase ALKBH10B emerges as a crucial post-transcriptional regulator of hormonal crosstalk, photosynthetic maintenance, and mitochondrial energy metabolism to fine-tune plant stress adaptation to drought. Epitranscriptomic N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) mRNA modification has emerged as an important regulatory layer of gene expression and protein synthesis in plant stress adaptation. In this…
