Given the rapid development of plant genomic technologies, a lack of access to plant
phenotyping capabilities limits our ability to dissect the genetics of quantitative traits …

Originating in the Andes, the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) was imported to Europe in
the 16th century. At present, it is an important crop plant cultivated all over the world, and its …

Abiotic stresses such as salt and drought represent adverse environmental conditions that
significantly damage plant growth and agricultural productivity. In this study, the mechanism …

Background Abiotic stresses due to environmental factors could adversely affect the growth
and development of crops. Among the abiotic stresses, drought and heat stress are two …

Drought stress is one of the most destructive environmental factors that affect tomato plants
adversely. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are important signaling molecules …

Rising temperatures and drought stress limit the growth and production potential of lentil
(Lens culinaris Medikus), particularly during reproductive growth and seed filling. The …

Background NPR1, nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related gene 1, is a master regulator
involved in plant defense response to pathogens, and its regulatory mechanism in the …

High temperatures and decreased rainfall are detrimental to yield in chickpea (Cicer
arietinum L.), particularly during grain filling. This study aimed to (i) assess the individual …

Chlorophyll fluorescence is a rapid, non-destructive and inexpensive technique that has
been used successfully in the evaluation of plant photosynthetic activity. However, this …

Abstract Background Developing Medicago sativa L.(alfalfa) cultivars tolerant to drought is
critical for the crop's sustainable production. miR156 regulates various plant biological …
