Plants are very plastic in adapting growth and development to changing adverse
environmental conditions. This feature will be essential for plants to survive climate changes …

BACKGROUND Animals and land plants are the most diverse complex multicellular life-
forms on Earth, and their success intricately links a capacity for adhering cells to perform …

In contrast to climacteric fruits such as tomato, the knowledge on key regulatory genes
controlling the ripening of strawberry, a nonclimacteric fruit, is still limited. NAC transcription …

Hypoxic stress, caused by the low cellular oxygen in the events of flooding or waterlogging,
limits crop productivity in many regions of the world. Hypoxic stress in plants is often …

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) are key to the
establishment of the fermentative metabolism in plants during oxygen shortage. Most of the …

Abiotic stress is considered a major factor limiting crop yield and quality. The development of
effective strategies that mitigate abiotic stress is essential for sustainable agriculture and …

Waterlogging is a serious environmental threat that limits crop growth and yield in low-lying,
rainfed areas in many regions across the globe. Here we investigated the effects of …

Plants respond to oxygen deprivation by activating the expression of a set of hypoxia-
responsive genes (HRGs). The master regulator of this process is a small group of …

Ethanol and lactate are typical waste products of glucose fermentation. In mammals, glucose
is catabolized by glycolysis into circulating lactate, which is broadly used throughout the …

While traditionally considered important mainly in hypoxic roots during flooding,
upregulation of fermentation pathways in plants has recently been described as an …
