Abiotic stresses such as drought, heat, cold, nutrient deficiency, excess salt and hazardous
metals can hamper plantgrowth and development. Intensive agriculture of only a few major …

Genetically engineered plants have varied applications in agriculture for enhancing the
values of food and feed. Genetic engineering aims to introduce selected genetic regions …

Plants in their natural habitat frequently face different biotic and abiotic stresses, which lead
to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cell membranes, cause …

Strigolactone (SL) is a new plant hormone, which not only plays an important role in
stimulating seed germination, plant branching, and regulating root development, but also …

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br.] is an important cereal crop of the semiarid
tropics, which can withstand prolonged drought and heat stress. Considering an active …

Promoters are essential sequences and binds with RNA polymerase and several
transcription factors to initiate the transcription of the gene. The promoter consists of several …

ABSTRACT Early Responsive to Dehydration (ERD) genes are rapidly induced in response
to various biotic and abiotic stresses, such as bacteria, drought, light, temperature and high …

The responses of the GsCLC‐c2 gene and its promoter to NaCl stress, as well as the
Cl−/salt tolerance of GsCLC‐c2‐transgenic Arabidopsis and overexpressed or RNAi wild …

Abiotic stresses [water availability (less or excess water), salinity, temperature extremes
(freezing, cold, or high), metal, nutrient stress, etc.] are major constraints in the global …

Gorteria diffusa has elaborate petal spots that attract pollinators through sexual deception,
but how G. diffusa controls spot development is largely unknown. Here, we investigate how …
