As sessile organisms, plants have to be able to adapt to a continuously changing
environment. Plants that perceive some of these changes as stress signals activate …

Guard cells regulate stomatal pore size through integration of both endogenous and
environmental signals; they are widely recognized as providing a key switching mechanism …

Brassinosteroids (BR s) are essential for plant growth and development; however, whether
and how they promote stomatal closure is not fully clear. In this study, we report that 24 …

Ethylene, a plant hormone that significantly influences both plant growth and response to
stress, plays a well-established role in stress signaling. However, its impact on stomatal …

Innovative agricultural strategies are essential for addressing the urgent challenge of food
security in light of climate change, population growth, and various environmental stressors …

More than a half-century has passed since it was discovered that phytohormone cytokinin
(CK) is essential to drive cytokinesis and proliferation in plant tissue culture. Thereafter …

Arsenic (As) stress provokes various toxic effects in plants that disturbs its photosynthetic
potential and hampers growth. Ethylene and selenium (Se) have shown regulatory …

The modulation of guard cell function is the basis of stomatal closure, essential for
optimizing water use and CO2 uptake by leaves. Nitric oxide (NO) in guard cells plays a very …

This study explored the interactive effect of ethephon (2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid; an
ethylene source) and sulfur (S) in regulating the antioxidant system and ABA content and in …

In plants, glyoxalase enzymes are activated under stress conditions to mitigate the toxic
effects of hyperaccumulated methylglyoxal (MG), a highly reactive carbonyl compound. Until …
