The world population is estimated to exceed 9.7 billion by 2050, with more than 65% of
people relying primarily on agriculture. In emerging countries, this figure is expected to rise …

Plants are sessile organisms and must adapt to various environmental changes, especially
from stress conditions. Synthesis of secondary metabolites by the plant is one of the …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is rich in nutrients and has been an important target for
enhancing the accumulation of various metabolites. Tomato also contains cholesterol …

Drought stress is one of the most serious threats to sustainable agriculture and is predicted
to be further intensified in the coming decades. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of …

Salt stress is a serious problem, because it reduces the plant growth and seed yield of
wheat. To investigate the salt-tolerant mechanism of wheat caused by plant-derived smoke …

The secondary plant metabolites are of enormous importance because of their extensive
medicinal, nutraceutical, and industrial applications. In plants, these secondary metabolites …

Transcription factor (TF) families play important roles in plant stress responses. S. caninervis
is a new model moss for plant desiccation tolerance studies. Here, we report a high …

Plants have evolved complicated defense and adaptive systems to grow in various abiotic
stress environments such as drought, cold, and salinity. Anthocyanins belong to the …

Flavonoids are secondary metabolites that play important roles in the resistance of plants to
abiotic stress. Despite the widely reported adverse effects of lead (Pb) contamination on …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small regulatory RNAs (20–24 nt) that bind to
complementary sites in the target mRNA molecules and lead to their degradation or …
