Increasing biotic and abiotic stresses are seriously impeding the growth and yield of staple
crops and threatening global food security. As one of the largest classes of regulators in …

Population expansion is a global issue, especially for food production. Meanwhile, global
climate change is damaging our soils, making it difficult for crops to thrive and lowering both …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is sensitive to low temperatures, which affects the yield and quality of
rice. Therefore, uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind chilling tolerance is a critical …

Plant terrestrialization brought forth the land plants (embryophytes). Embryophytes account
for most of the biomass on land and evolved from streptophyte algae in a singular event …

Gene regulation is central to all aspects of organism growth, and understanding it using
large-scale functional datasets can provide a whole view of biological processes controlling …

Multicellular organisms, such as plants, are characterized by highly specialized and tightly
regulated cell populations, establishing specific morphological structures and executing …

Salt stress is one of the most threatening abiotic stresses to plants, which can seriously affect
plant growth, development, reproduction, and yield. However, the mechanisms of plant …

The emergence of land plants around 450 million years ago transformed the terrestrial
environment. The transition of plants to land required adaptations to a host of abiotic …

Climate change-induced extreme weather events (heat, cold, drought, and flooding) will
severely affect crop production. Increasing the resilience of crops to fluctuating …

Plants encounter various abiotic stresses throughout growth and development, with
aluminum stress emerging as a major global agricultural challenge that hinders plant growth …
