Biomechanical properties of the cell wall (CW) are important for many developmental and
adaptive responses in plants. Expansins were shown to mediate pH-dependent CW …

Introduction Expansins (EXPs) are essential components of the plant cell wall that function
as relaxation factors to directly promote turgor-driven expansion of the cell wall, thereby …

Background Biocontrol strategies are the best possible and eco-friendly solution to develop
resistance against O furnacalis and improve the maize yield. However, the knowledge about …

Plant long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of gene
expression through various mechanisms viz. binding to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) …

Chitinases are a diverse group of enzymes having the ability to degrade chitin. Chitin is the
second most abundant polysaccharide on earth, predominantly found in insect exoskeletons …

Three gene families in plants viz. Argonaute (AGOs), Dicer-like (DCLs) and RNA dependent
RNA polymerase (RDRs) constitute the core components of small RNA mediated gene …

Kiwifruit is loved by consumers for its unique taste and rich vitamin C content. Kiwifruit are
very sensitive to adverse soil environments owing to fleshy and shallow roots, which limits …

Expansins are cell‐wall loosening proteins involved in plant cell expansion and elongation.
Objectives of this study were to identify expansins related to leaf elongation in a perennial …

To understand the adaptation mechanism of vetiver under copper (Cu) stress, the effects of 5
concentrations of Cu (0, 40, 60, 120, and 150 mg/L CuSO4) on the morphological and …

Expansins (EXPs) which are the essential components of plant cell wall function as
relaxation factors to directly promote turgor-driven expansion of cell wall and control plant …
