Technological developments have revolutionized measurements on plant genotypes and
phenotypes, leading to routine production of large, complex data sets. This has led to …

All eukaryotes rely on selective proteolysis to control the abundance of key regulatory
proteins and maintain a healthy and properly functioning proteome. Most of this turnover is …

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy.
Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered …

Optical sensors and sensing-based phenotyping techniques have become mainstream
approaches in high-throughput phenotyping for improving trait selection and genetic gains …

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal that can be readily absorbed by plants and
enriched in human body. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield and grain quality are affected by …

In nature, plants are constantly exposed to many transient, but recurring, stresses. Thus, to
complete their life cycles, plants require a dynamic balance between capacities to recover …

Crop production is the primary goal of agricultural activities, which is always taken into
consideration. However, global agricultural systems are coming under increasing pressure …

After being domesticated from teosinte, cultivated maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) spread
worldwide and now is one of the most important staple crops. Due to its tremendous …

Under nutrient and energy-limiting conditions, plants up-regulate sophisticated catabolic
pathways such as autophagy to remobilize nutrients and restore energy homeostasis …

Drought is one of the major consequences of climate change and a serious threat to rice
production. Drought stress activates interactions among genes, proteins and metabolites at …
