Crop plants should be resilient to climatic factors in order to feed ever-increasing
populations. Plants have developed stress-responsive mechanisms by changing their …

Male reproductive tissues are more sensitive to heat stress (HS) compared to vegetative
tissues, but the basis of this phenomenon is poorly understood. Heat stress transcription …

Lead (Pb), one of the most toxic heavy metals, can be absorbed and accumulated by plant
roots and then enter the food chain resulting in potential health risks for human beings. The …

Rice is an important staple food crop for over half of the world's population. However, abiotic
stresses seriously threaten rice yield improvement and sustainable production. Breeding …

The current study was devoted to assessing the impact of exogenous ascorbic acid (AsA) in
inducing systemic thermotolerance against acute heat stress in tomato (Solanum …

Alternative splicing (AS) is a key control mechanism influencing signal response cascades
in different developmental stages and under stress conditions. In this study, we examined …

Heat stress is an important agricultural problem around the world. In pepper (Capsicum
annum L.), heat stress seriously affects pollination and yield. However, to date, the …

Background Heterosis is the superior performance of F 1 hybrids relative to their parental
lines for a wide range of traits. In this study, expression profiling and heterosis associated …

To elucidate the mechanism underlying the response of rice to heat stress (HS), the
transcriptome profile of panicles was comparatively analyzed between the heat-tolerant line …

The heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) gene family plays a key role in protecting plant cells or
tissues from thermal or oxidative stress. Although many studies have elucidated the …
