The physiological roles of abscisic acid (ABA) as a stress hormone in plant responses to
water shortage, including stomatal regulation and gene expression, have been well …

Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used as agrochemical components through foliar
spraying such as foliage fertilizers or pesticides. However, the understanding of the …

Despite decades of extensive study, the role of cuticular lipids in sustaining plant fitness is
far from being understood. We utilized genome‐edited tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca) to …

Stomatal pores close rapidly in response to low-air-humidity-induced leaf-to-air vapor
pressure difference (VPD) increases, thereby reducing excessive water loss. The …

Jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) regulate stomatal closure, preventing pathogen
invasion into plants. However, to what extent abscisic acid (ABA), SA and JA interact, and …

Food security for the growing global population is a major concern. The data provided by
genomic tools far exceeds the supply of phenotypic data, creating a knowledge gap. To …

Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) facilitates the supply of water, enabling continual CO2
uptake while maintaining plant water status. We hypothesized that bundle sheath and …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a physiological role in regulating the heat tolerance of plants and
maintaining crop productivity under high-temperature stress. Appropriate cultivation …

The high rate of productivity observed in panicoid crops is in part due to their extensive root
system. Recently, green foxtail (Setaria viridis) has emerged as a genetic model system for …

Climate change‐associated rise in VPD (atmospheric vapor pressure deficit) results in
increased plant transpiration and reduced stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, biomass …
