Amid apprehension of global climate change, crop plants are inevitably confronted with a
myriad of abiotic stress factors during their growth that inflicts a serious threat to their …

Phytohormones are ubiquitously involved in plant biological processes and regulate cellular
signaling pertaining to unheralded environmental cues, such as salinity, drought, extreme …

Key message The potential of seed priming is still not fully exploited. Our limited knowledge
of the molecular dynamics of seed pre-germinative metabolism is the main hindrance to …

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), the α-galactosyl derivatives of sucrose, are nearly
ubiquitous in Plantae, and they have been demonstrated to play pivotal roles in regulating …

Sugars as photosynthates are well known as energy providers and as building blocks of
various structural components of plant cells, tissues and organs. Additionally, as a part of …

F-box proteins have diverse functions in eukaryotic organisms, including plants, mainly
targeting proteins for 26S proteasomal degradation. Here, we demonstrate the role of the F …

Plants synthesize various compounds for their growth, metabolism, and stress mitigation,
and one such group of compounds is the raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs). RFOs …

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) accumulate in seeds during maturation
desiccation in many plant species. However, it remains unclear whether RFOs have a role in …

Seed longevity, defined as the ability to remain alive during storage, is an important
agronomic factor. Poor longevity negatively impacts seedling establishment and …

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are implicated in plant regulatory mechanisms of
abiotic stresses tolerance and, despite their antinutritional proprieties in grain legumes, little …
