Plant anthers are composed of different specialized cell types with distinct roles in plant
reproduction. High temperature (HT) stress causes male sterility, resulting in crop yield …

Plant hormones can adjust the physiology and development of plants to enhance their
adaptation to biotic and abiotic challenges. Jasmonic acid (JA), one of the immunity …

Elaborate regulation of gene expression is required for plants to maintain normal growth,
development, and reproduction. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors are key …

SHINE (SHN) clade transcription factors (TFs) represents a subfamily of APETALA2/ethylene-

dormancy and factors that release buds from the quiescent state. The TCP family of …

Lignin and cellulose are two essential elements of plant secondary cell walls that shape the
mechanical characteristics of the culm to prevent lodging. However, how the regulation of …

Scopoletin and chlorogenic acid (CGA) are important polyphenols that regulate plant
growth, development, and stress resistance. The ERF transcription factor WAX INDUCER1 …

The major stages of the potato life cycle are tuber dormancy and sprouting, however, there is
still known very little of the mechanisms that control these processes. TCP (Theosinte branch …
