Small heat shock proteins are a diverse, ancient, and important family of proteins. All
organisms possess small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), indicating that these proteins …

Being sessile organisms, plants are constantly exposed to various kinds of environmental
stimuli. To survive under unfavorable environmental conditions they have evolved strategies …

Water deficit (drought stress) massively restricts plant growth and the yield of crops; reducing
the deleterious effects of drought is therefore of high agricultural relevance. Drought triggers …

Biotic and abiotic stresses limit agricultural yields, and plants are often simultaneously
exposed to multiple stresses. Combinations of stresses such as heat and drought or cold …

In field conditions, plants may experience numerous environmental stresses at any one time.
Research suggests that the plant response to multiple stresses is different from that for …

The transition from juvenility through maturation to senescence is a complex process that
involves the regulation of longevity. Here, we identify JUNGBRUNNEN1 (JUB1), a hydrogen …

The recent progresses in the research on proline will be described, focusing on plants and
covering proline metabolism and signal transduction as well as the role of this imino acid in …

CONSTANS (CO) is a critical regulator of flowering that combines photoperiodic and
circadian signals in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). CO is expressed in multiple tissues …

Summary The LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY) transcription factor functions as part
of the oscillatory mechanism of the Arabidopsis circadian clock. This paper reports the …

In eukaryotes, autophagy helps maintain cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling
cytoplasmic materials via a tightly regulated pathway. Over the past few decades, significant …
