To survive under cold temperatures plants must be able to perceive a cold signal and
transduce it into downstream components that induce appropriate defense mechanisms. In …

The high selection pressure applied in rice breeding since its domestication thousands of
years ago has caused a narrowing in its genetic variability. Obtaining new rice cultivars …

Low temperatures have adverse impacts on plant growth, developmental processes, crop
productivity and food quality. It is becoming clear that Ca2+ signaling plays a crucial role in …

Abiotic stresses are the major limiting factors influencing the growth and productivity of
plants species. To combat these stresses, plants can modify numerous physiological …

Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) is one of the most widely cultivated warm‐season
turfgrass species around the world. Cold stress has been a key environmental factor that …

Water is crucial for plant growth and survival. The transcellular water movement is facilitated
by aquaporins (AQPs) that rapidly and reversibly modify water permeability. The abundance …

ERFs (ethylene‐responsive factors) are known to play a key role in orchestrating cold stress
signal transduction. However, the regulatory mechanisms and target genes of most ERFs …

Environmental changes cause abiotic stress in plants, primarily through alterations in the
uptake of the nutrients and water they require for their metabolism and growth and to …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are primarily involved in maintaining cellular water homeostasis. Their
role in diverse physiological processes has fascinated plant scientists for more than a …

Abstract Calcium (Ca 2+) is an intracellular second messenger involved in many signal
transduction pathways in plants. The perception of environmental and internal cues leads to …
