Understanding the molecular mechanisms in the drought response is important for …

Recombinant protein production in microbial hosts and animal cell cultures has
revolutionized the pharmaceutical and industrial enzyme industries. Plants as alternative …

Trehalose plays an important role in metabolic regulation and abiotic stress tolerance in a
variety of organisms. In plants, its biosynthesis is catalyzed by two key enzymes: trehalose-6 …

Various environmental stresses limit the plant growth and productivity. Earlier we reported
the stress inducible dehydrin gene, OsDhn1, in rice. In this study we generated OsDhn1 …

Abstract Phytochrome-interacting factor 3 (PIF3) activates light-responsive transcriptional
network genes in coordination with the circadian clock and plant hormones to modulate …

Peanut is an important oilseed and food legume cultivated as a rain-fed crop in semi-arid
tropics. Drought and high salinity are the major abiotic stresses limiting the peanut …

The source–sink relationship determines the overall agronomic performance of rice. Cloning
and characterizing key genes involved in the regulation of source and sink dynamics is …

Drought is one of the most critical abiotic stresses that threaten crop production worldwide.
This stress affects the rice crop in all stages of rice development; however, the occurrence …

3-3 proteins are found in all eukaryotes where they act as regulators of diverse signalling
pathways associated with a wide range of biological processes. In this study the functional …

Rice production is greatly affected by environmental stresses such as drought and high
salinity. Transgenic rice plants tolerant to such stresses are expected to be produced. Stress …
