Plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth,
development and environmental stress responses. Abiotic stresses, such as drought …

Defense against stress and active suppression of growth are two complementary strategies
by which plants respond to adverse environments. Although beneficial for plant survival …

Conifers dominate the world's forest ecosystems and are the most widely planted tree
species. Their giant and complex genomes present great challenges for assembling a …

The identification and characterization of cis-regulatory DNA sequences and how they
function to coordinate responses to developmental and environmental cues is of paramount …

Drought alone causes more annual loss in crop yield than all pathogens combined. To
adapt to moisture gradients in soil, plants alter their physiology, modify root growth and …

Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts the growth and yield of crops.
Understanding the physiological, metabolic, and biochemical responses of plants to salt …

Proline is a multifunctional amino acid that is accumulated in high concentrations in plants
under various stress conditions. Proline accumulation is intimately connected to many …

With the goal of charting plant transcriptional regulatory maps (ie transcription factors (TFs),
cis-elements and interactions between them), we have upgraded the TF-centred database …

Plant hormones are essential for regulating the interactions between plants and their
complex biotic and abiotic environments. Each hormone initiates a specific molecular …

Dynamic environmental changes such as extreme temperature, water scarcity and high
salinity affect plant growth, survival, and reproduction. Plants have evolved sophisticated …
