Abiotic stresses adversely affect plant growth and agricultural productivity. According to the
current climate prediction models, crop plants will face a greater number of environmental …

In agricultural production, abiotic stresses are known as the main disturbance leading to
negative impacts on crop performance. Research on elucidating plant defense mechanisms …

Root system architecture plays an important role in plant adaptation to drought stress. The
root system architecture (RSA) consists of several structural features, which includes number …

Suberin is a specialized cell wall modifying polymer comprising both phenolic-derived and
fatty acid-derived monomers, which is deposited in below-ground dermal tissues (epidermis …

Abstract Background NAC proteins (NAM (No apical meristem), ATAF (Arabidopsis
transcription activation factor) and CUC (cup-shaped cotyledon)) are plant-specific …

Abstract Background The NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factor family
represents a group of large plant-specific transcriptional regulators, participating in plant …

In rosette plants, root flooding (waterlogging) triggers rapid upward (hyponastic) leaf
movement representing an important architectural stress response that critically determines …

The NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factors comprise one of the largest
transcription factor families in plants and play important roles in stress responses. However …

Leaf senescence is an active process with a pivotal impact on plant productivity. It results
from extensive signalling cross-talk coordinating environmental factors with intrinsic age …

Potato is the world's fourth largest food crop. Due to limited arable land and an ever-
increasing demand for food from a growing population, it is critical to increase crop yields on …
