Agricultural productivity worldwide is subject to increasing environmental constraints,
particularly to drought and salinity due to their high magnitude of impact and wide …

Drought tolerance is an important quantitative trait with multipart phenotypes that are often
further complicated by plant phenology. Different types of environmental stresses, such as …

Melatonin has been detected in plants in 1995; however, the function and signaling pathway
of this putative phytohormone are largely undetermined due to a lack of knowledge about its …

Rice is sensitive to cold and can be grown only in certain climate zones. Human selection of
japonica rice has extended its growth zone to regions with lower temperature, while the …

The potent lipid mediator sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) regulates diverse physiological
processes by binding to 5 specific GPCRs, although it also has intracellular targets. Here …

Light has a profound effect on plant growth and development. Red and blue light best drive
photosynthetic metabolism, so it is no surprise that these light qualities are particularly …

Heterotrimeric G proteins (Gα, Gβ/Gγ subunits) constitute one of the most important
components of cell signaling cascade. G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) perceive …

Experiments with Arabidopsis mutants and sensitive and tolerant pairs in several other
species have elucidated the molecular basis of plant ozone sensitivity and ozone lesion …

Abstract S phingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid mediator with crucial roles in a
wide variety of cellular functions across a broad range of organisms. Though a simple …

In animals, heterotrimeric G proteins, comprising α-, β-and γ-subunits, perceive extracellular
stimuli through cell surface receptors, and transmit signals to ion channels, enzymes and …
