Tolerance to drought is a quantitative trait, with a complex phenotype, often confounded by
plant phenology. Breeding for drought tolerance is further complicated since several types of …

Drought and heat are the two most important environmental constraints to wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) production globally and are predicted to become more severe with global …

Meta-QTL analysis for thermotolerance in wheat was conducted to identify robust meta-QTLs
(MQTLs). In this study, 441 QTLs related to 31 heat-responsive traits were projected on the …

To elucidate the effect of high temperature, wheat plants (Triticum aestivum cv. CPAN 1676)
were given heat shock at 37 and 42° C for 2 h, and responsive genes were identified …

Ethylene response factors (ERFs) are involved in biotic and abiotic stress; however, the
drought resistance mechanisms of many ERFs in soybeans have not been resolved …

A stay-green phenotype is useful for adaptation of wheat to end-of-season drought
conditions. We identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) for stay-green traits, as well as for …

DNA methylation plays an important role in regulating gene expression in plants. In the
experiment, we studied effects of cold on DNA methylation variation in upland cotton. Using …

Cold hardening is necessary to achieve the genetically determined maximum freezing
tolerance and to reduce yield losses in winter cereals. The aim of the present study was to …

Pinus massoniana is a vital kind of coniferous species rich in rosin. Aluminum stress is a
severe problem for P. massoniana growth in acidic soil causing root poisoning. However …

Autophagy, a complex and conserved mechanism, serving as a defense response in all
eukaryotic organisms, is regulated by several proteins, among which ATG proteins are the …
