Salt stress is one of the significant environmental stressors that severely affects plant growth
and development. Plant responses to salt stress involve a series of biological mechanisms …

Reduction in soil fertility and depletion of natural resources due to current intensive
agricultural practices along with climate changes are the major constraints for crop …

Abstract Main Conclusion The responses of plants to different abiotic stresses and
mechanisms involved in their mitigation are discussed. Production of osmoprotectants …

Increasing demand for safe food by an ever-growing human population emphasizes the
urgency for increasing crop yields and reducing the losses caused by abiotic and biotic …

The soil microbiota exhibits an important function in the ecosystem, and its response to
climate change is of paramount importance for sustainable agroecosystems. The …

Background In eukaryotes, cell-to-cell communication relies on the activity of small signaling
peptides. In plant genomes, many hundreds of genes encode for such short peptide signals …

Peptide hormones are defined as small secreted polypeptide-based intercellular
communication signal molecules. Such peptide hormones are encoded by nuclear genes …

In Arabidopsis thaliana genome, a multitude of small coding genes have been identified,
with 200 of them are likely to encode small signaling peptides (Takahashi et al., 2019) …

Small signaling peptides (SSPs), short proteins of fewer than 100 amino acids, serve as
pivotal signaling molecules with diverse structural features, post-translational modifications …

Signalling peptides play a vital role in regulating a wide range of aspects, including plant
growth, development, and responses to various biotic and abiotic conditions. In recent times …
