Lipids are organic nonpolar molecules with essential biological and economic importance.
While the genetic pathways and regulatory networks of lipid biosynthesis and metabolism …

Water scarcity is a significant environmental limitation to plant productivity as drought-
induced crop output losses are likely to outnumber losses from all other factors. In this …

Drought stress during the grain filling stage severely affects the quality and quantity of starch
in rice grains. The enzymes such as ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase, EC 2.7 …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the major grain cereals of the Indian subcontinent which face
water-deficit stress for their cultivation. Seed-priming has been reported to be a useful …

Drought is a major yield-limiting factor for rice production. Present study is a first of its own
kind to show the promising role of plant growth regulators (PGRs)[methyl jasmonate (MJ) …

Abstract The APETAL2/Ethylene Responsive Factor (AP2/ERF) family was the subject of
intensive research which led to the identification of several members involved in different …

Climate change has threatened global food security. There is an unrelenting need to
understand various factors associated with abiotic stress and their response, adaptability …

Drought hampers global rice production. Abscisic acid (ABA) plays versatile roles under
different environmental stresses. While the link between drought and ABA is known, its effect …

Drought is a major limiting factor for rice (Oryza sativa L.) production globally, and a cost-
effective seed priming technique using bio-elicitors has been found to have stress mitigating …

The gene NCED1 encodes 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase, which catalyzes oxidative
cleavage of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoids neoxanthin and violaxanthin to xanthoxin, a key step in …
