Heavy metal/metalloids (HMs) are among the primary soil pollutants that limit crop
production worldwide. Plants grown in HM contaminated soils exhibit reduced growth and …

Auxin is arguably the most important signaling molecule in plants, and the last few decades
have seen remarkable breakthroughs in understanding its production, transport, and …

Iron (Fe) deficiency and toxicity are the most widely prevalent soil-related micronutrient
disorders in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Progress in rice cultivars with improved tolerance has …

Toxic metals are extensively found in the environment, households, and workplaces and
contaminate food and drinking water. The crosstalk between environmental exposure to …

Arabidopsis microRNA expression regulation was studied in a wide array of abiotic stresses
such as drought, heat, salinity, copper excess/deficiency, cadmium excess, and sulfur …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short, endogenous non-coding small RNAs
that have ability to base pair with their target mRNAs to induce their degradation in plants …

Soil contamination by heavy metals and metalloids such as cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As)
poses a major threat to the environment and to human health. Vacuolar sequestration is one …

One of the most striking aspects of plant plasticity is the modulation of development in
response to environmental changes. Plant growth and development largely depend on the …

Food security is one of the most important issues challenging the world today. Any strategies
to solve this problem must include increasing crop yields and quality. MicroRNA-based …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous small RNAs, are broadly involved in plant
development, morphogenesis and responses to various environmental stresses, through …
