Plants are vulnerable to a number of abiotic and biotic stresses that cause a substantial
decrease in the production of plants. Plants respond to different environmental stresses by …

Sterols, which are isoprenoid derivatives, are structural components of biological
membranes. Special attention is now being given not only to their structure and function, but …

Heat stress is a major environmental stress type that can limit plant growth and
development. To survive sudden temperature increases, plants utilize the heat shock …

ABSTRACT Brassinosteroids (BRs) and gibberellins (GAs) are two groups of
phytohormones that regulate many common developmental processes throughout the plant …

Progress in improving abiotic stress tolerance of crop plants using classic breeding and
selection approaches has been slow. This has generally been blamed on the lack of reliable …

Plant growth and development are highly regulated processes that are coordinated by
hormones including the brassinosteroids (BRs), a group of steroids with structural similarity …

Because they are tethered in space, plants have to make the most of their local growth
environment. In order to grow in an ever‐changing environment, plants constantly remodel …

Plants exhibit phenotypical plasticity. Their general body plan is genetically determined, but
plant architecture and branching patterns are variable and can be adjusted to the prevailing …

Most terrestrial plants are able to form a root symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi for enhancing the assimilation of mineral nutrients. AM fungi are obligate symbionts …

Phytosterols are a kind of plant metabolite belonging to the triterpene family. These
compounds are essential biomolecules for human health, and so they must be taken from …
