To ensure the food security of future generations and to address the challenge of the 'no
hunger zone'proposed by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), crop production …

Rising atmospheric CO 2 is a key driver of climate change, intensifying drastic changes in
meteorological parameters. Plants can sense and respond to changes in environmental …

Heat shock transcription factor (Hsf) plays a transcriptional regulatory role in plants during
heat stress and other abiotic stresses. 31 non-redundant ZmHsf genes from maize were …

Glycoside Hydrolase 3 (GH3), a member of the Auxin-responsive gene family, is involved in
plant growth, the plant developmental process, and various stress responses. The GH3 …

Background Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) and bacterial blight (BB) are two major prevalent and
devastating rice bacterial diseases caused by the Gram-negative bacteria of Xanthomonas …

Hsp100 chaperones disaggregate the aggregated proteins and are vital for maintenance of
protein homeostasis. The level of Hsp100 synthesised in the cells has a bearing on the …

Heat stress is a major constraint to crop production and food security. The incidence of heat
stress in crops has increased due to rapid changes in the global climate. Heat stress has a …

Heat shock transcription factors (HSF) have been demonstrated to play a significant
transcriptional regulatory role in plants and considered as an integral part of signal …

Heat shock factors (Hsfs) play pivotal roles in plant stress responses and confer stress
tolerance. However, the functions of several Hsfs in rice (Oryza sativa L.) are not yet known …

Root system architecture affects the efficient uptake of water and nutrients in plants. The root
growth angle, which is a critical component in determining root system architecture, is …
