Lipids are a principal component of plasma membrane, acting as a protective barrier
between the cell and its surroundings. Abiotic stresses such as drought and temperature …

Investigating crop diversity through genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) on core
collections helps in deciphering the genetic determinants of complex quantitative traits …

Plant plastids and mitochondria have dynamic proteomes. Protein homeostasis in these
organelles is maintained by a proteostasis network containing protein chaperones …

Water availability is undoubtedly one of the most important environmental factors affecting
crop production. Drought causes a gradual deprivation of water in the soil from top to deep …

Interactions between host plants and endophytic microorganisms play an important role in
plant responses to pathogens and environmental stresses and have potential applications …

Hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum) is one of the most important crops in the
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Soil salinity seriously affects its cultivation. To investigate the …

Under changing climatic conditions, plants are simultaneously facing conflicting stresses in
nature. Plants can sense different stresses, induce systematic ROS signals, and regulate …

Zea mays is an essential staple food crop across the globe. Maize contains macro and
micronutrients but is limited in essential mineral micronutrients such as Fe and Zn …

Iron (Fe) is an essential element for the development and physiology of plants, owing to its
presence in numerous proteins involved in central biological processes. Here, we …

Background Despite recent sequencing efforts, local genetic resources remain
underexploited, even though they carry alleles that can bring agronomic benefits. Taking …
