TGA transcription factors (TFs), belonging to the D clade of the basic region leucine zipper
(bZIP) family, exhibit a specific ability to recognize and bind to regulatory elements with …

Grapevine berry shrivel, a ripening disorder, causes significant economic losses in the
worldwide wine and table grape industries. An early interruption in ripening leads to this …

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play an essential role in plant cell detoxification and
secondary metabolism. However, their accurate functions in the growth and response to …

The supply of silicon (Si) mitigates the aluminum (Al) toxicity on plant root growth, while the
underlying mechanism remains unknown. Transition zone (TZ) emerges as the Al-toxicity …

MicroRNAs are essential in plant development and stress resistance, but their specific roles
in drought stress require further investigation. Here, we have uncovered that a Populus …

The formation of the plant body proceeds in a sequential postembryonic manner through the
action of meristems. Tightly coordinated meristem regulation is required for development …

Bidens pilosa L.(B. pilosa) has great potential for the phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd)-
contaminated soils. However, the molecular mechanism underlying Cd tolerance and …

Cold stress inhibits growth, reduces productivity and deteriorates fruit quality in tomato
(Solanum lycopersicum). It is thus of critical importance to elucidate the mechanisms by …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Adequate regulation of Zn uptake, transport
and distribution, and adaptation to Zn-deficiency stress or Zn-excess toxicity are crucial for …

Legume–rhizobial symbiosis initiates the formation of root nodules, within which rhizobia
reside and differentiate into bacteroids to convert nitrogen into ammonium, facilitating plant …
