Plants exposed to abiotic stress respond to unfavorable conditions on multiple levels. One
challenge under drought stress is to reduce shoot growth while maintaining root growth, a …

Roots play important roles in determining crop development under drought. Under such
conditions, the molecular mechanisms underlying key responses and interactions with the …

The MYB family of proteins is a group of large, functionally diverse transcription factors, and
widely present in all eukaryotes. The MYB family of proteins in plants is characterized by the …

Root system architecture plays an important role in plant adaptation to drought stress. The
root system architecture (RSA) consists of several structural features, which includes number …

Plant cells are surrounded by highly dynamic cell walls that play important roles regulating
aspects of plant development. Recent advances in visualization and measurement of cell …

Drought and salinity are two major environmental factors adversely affecting plant growth
and productivity. However, the regulatory mechanism is unknown. In this study, the potential …

Among the effects of impending climate change, drought will have a profound impact on
crop productivity in the future. Response to drought stress has been studied widely, and the …

Stress signalling and regulatory networks controlling expression of target genes are the
basis of plant response to drought. Roots are the first organs exposed to water deficiency in …

Plants are constantly confronted with various abiotic stresses, such as drought, extreme
temperature, salinity, nutrient element deficiency and heavy metal contamination. In the long …

Key message GbWRKY1 can function as a negative regulator of ABA signaling via JAZ1 and
ABI1, with effects on salt and drought tolerance. Abstract WRKY transcription factors play …
