Plants grow in dynamic environments where they can be exposed to a multitude of stressful
factors, all of which affect their development, yield, and, ultimately, reproductive success …

The plant cell wall has a diversity of functions. It provides a structural framework to support
plant growth and acts as the first line of defense when the plant encounters pathogens. The …

Ca 2+ has long been recognized as a conserved second messenger and principal mediator
in plant immune and stress responses. How Ca 2+ signals are sensed and relayed into …

Drought, salinity, extreme temperature variations, pathogen and herbivory attacks are
recurring environmental stresses experienced by plants throughout their life. To survive …

Main conclusion Plants develop both short-term and transgenerational memory of drought
stress through epigenetic regulation of transcription for a better response to subsequent …

In some plants, exposure to stress can induce a memory response, which appears to play an
important role in adaptation to recurrent stress environments. However, whether rice exhibits …

Plants have evolved a number of different mechanisms to respond and to adapt to abiotic
stress for their survival. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in coordinating …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that plays important roles in the regulation of seed
dormancy and adaptation to abiotic stresses. Previous work identified OsPYL/RCARs as …

Epigenetics has become one of the hottest topics of research in plant functional genomics
since it appears promising in deciphering and imparting stress-adaptive potential in crops …

CBFs play a crucial role when plants are in adverse environmental conditions for growth.
However, there are few reports on the role of CBF gene in stress responses of Malus plant …
