Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
High salinity and drought seriously limit the production of many crops worldwide, including apple (Malus x. domestica Borkh). Members of the bZIP family of transcription factors play important roles in abiotic stress in various plants, but there have been few studies in perennial tree species. In our previous study, we conducted a genome-wide survey of bZIP family transcription factor genes in apple. Here, we focused on one of these genes, MdbZIP26, which is induced by high salinity, drought, and exogenous abscisic acid (ABA). The MdbZIP26 promoter contains several apparent cis-acting elements associated with abiotic stress response, such as ABRE/G-box, DRE, GT1, and GMSCAM4. The temporal and spatial expression patterns of MdbZIP26 were consistent with a role in abiotic stress response. Arabidopsis thaliana plants expressing MdbZIP26 showed enhanced tolerance to dehydration and salinity, and this was associated with altered expression of ABA/stress-regulated genes. Considered together, these results suggest that MdbZIP26 plays a role in the resistance of drought and high salinity stress in apple via ABA-mediated signaling.
