Plants are constantly challenged by various abiotic stresses that negatively affect growth
and productivity worldwide. During the course of their evolution, plants have developed …

Plants are constantly confronted to both abiotic and biotic stresses that seriously reduce their
productivity. Plant responses to these stresses are complex and involve numerous …

Plants confront multifarious environmental stresses widely divided into abiotic and biotic
stresses, of which heavy metal stress represents one of the most damaging abiotic stresses …

The battle between plants and microbes is evolutionarily ancient, highly complex, and often
co-dependent. A primary challenge for microbes is to breach the physical barrier of host cell …

Abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect the growth and productivity of plants and
constitute the major yield-limiting factor in agriculture. In recent years, several transcription …

The SnRK2 family members are plant-specific serine/threonine kinases involved in plant
response to abiotic stresses and abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent plant development …

Plant species exhibit a range of tolerances to low temperatures, and these constitute a major
determinant of their geographical distribution and use as crops. When tolerance is …

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the established and emerging roles that
organelles play in calcium signalling. The function of calcium as a secondary messenger in …

Progress in improving abiotic stress tolerance of crop plants using classic breeding and
selection approaches has been slow. This has generally been blamed on the lack of reliable …

Genetic engineering of plants for abiotic stress tolerance is a challenging task because of its
multifarious nature. Comprehensive studies for developing abiotic stress tolerance are in …
