Heat stress (HS) is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the production and quality of
wheat. Rising temperatures are particularly threatening to wheat production. A detailed …

Abiotic stresses such as, drought, heat, salinity, and flooding threaten global food security.
Crop genetic improvement with increased resilience to abiotic stresses is a critical …

Heat stress greatly threatens crop production. Plants have evolved multiple adaptive
mechanisms, including alternative splicing, that allow them to withstand this stress …

Episodes of heat waves combined with drought can have a devastating impact on
agricultural production worldwide. These conditions, as well as many other types of stress …

Eukaryotic genes can be classified into intronless (no introns), intron‐poor (three or fewer
introns per gene) or intron‐rich. Early eukaryotic genes were mostly intron‐rich, and their …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the main cereals grown around the world. It is used for human
and animal nutrition and also as biofuel. However, as a direct consequence of global climate …

Global climate change will significantly increase the intensity and frequency of hot, dry days.
The simultaneous occurrence of drought and heat stress is also likely to increase …

Serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) dephosphorylates proteins and plays
crucial roles in plant growth, development, and stress response. In this study, we …

Alternative splicing (AS) plays crucial roles in regulating various biological processes in
plants. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying AS and its role in controlling important …

Modifications of the cellular proteome pool upon stress allow plants to tolerate
environmental changes. Alternative splicing is the most significant mechanism responsible …
