Agricultural productivity worldwide is subject to increasing environmental constraints,
particularly to drought and salinity due to their high magnitude of impact and wide …

Plant growth and development has to be continuously adjusted to the available resources.
Their optimization requires the integration of signals conveying the plant metabolic status, its …

Phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) induces anthocyanin biosynthesis; however, the
underlying molecular mechanism is less known. In this study, we found that the apple MYB …

In plants, basic region/leucine zipper motif (bZIP) transcription factors regulate processes
including pathogen defence, light and stress signalling, seed maturation and flower …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates many agronomically important aspects of plant development,
including the synthesis of seed storage proteins and lipids, the promotion of seed …

▪ Abstract Molecular studies of drought stress in plants use a variety of strategies and include
different species subjected to a wide range of water deficits. Initial research has by necessity …

Cold‐induced expression of the Arabidopsis COR (cold‐regulated) genes is mediated by a
DNA regulatory element termed the CRT (C‐repeat)/DRE (dehydration‐responsive …

Flowering of Arabidopsis is regulated by several environmental and endogenous signals.
An important integrator of these inputs is the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene, which …

We demonstrated that the GCC box, which is an 11-bp sequence (TAAGAGCCGCC)
conserved in the 5'upstream region of ethylene-inducible pathogenesis-related protein …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in environmental stress responses of higher
plants during vegetative growth. One of the ABA-mediated responses is the induced …
