Defense against stress and active suppression of growth are two complementary strategies
by which plants respond to adverse environments. Although beneficial for plant survival …

Proline is a multifunctional amino acid that is accumulated in high concentrations in plants
under various stress conditions. Proline accumulation is intimately connected to many …

The central metabolic regulator SnRK1 controls plant growth and survival upon activation by
energy depletion, but detailed molecular insight into its regulation and downstream targets is …

Highlights•bZIPs are evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic transcription factors.•The
Arabidopsis bZIP family consists of 78 members classified into 13 groups.•bZIPs perform a …

Soil flooding creates composite and complex stress in plants known as either submergence
or waterlogging stress depending on the depth of the water table. In nature, these stresses …

Fine-tuning quantitative traits for continuous subtle phenotypes is highly advantageous. We
engineer the highly conserved upstream open reading frame (uORF) of FvebZIPs1. 1 in …

The adaptation of plant metabolism to stress-induced energy deficiency involves profound
changes in amino acid metabolism. Anabolic reactions are suppressed, whereas respiratory …

Plant growth and development has to be continuously adjusted to the available resources.
Their optimization requires the integration of signals conveying the plant metabolic status, its …

SUCROSE-NON-FERMENTING1-RELATED KINASE1 (SnRK1) belongs to a family of
protein kinases that originated in the earliest eukaryotes and plays a central role in energy …
