Plant diseases are still the main problem for the reduction in crop yield and a threat to global
food security. Additionally, excessive usage of chemical inputs such as pesticides and …

Major latex-like proteins (MLPs) have been identified in dicots and monocots. They are
members of the birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 family as well as pathogenesis-related proteins …

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 …

Pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs) are a class of proteins that accumulate in response to
biotic and abiotic stresses to protect plants from damage. In this study, a gene encoding a …

The heat shock transcription factor (Hsf) family, an important member in plant stress
response, affects cadmium (Cd) tolerance in plants. In this study, we identified and …

Salt stress is a common abiotic stress that limits the growth, development and yield of maize
(Zea mays L.). To better understand the response of maize to salt stress and the mechanism …

Plants being sessile are continuously exposed to environmental stresses such as drought,
salinity, cold, and hot temperatures which present major challenges in achieving sustainable …

Potato tuberization is a complicated biological process regulated by multiple
phytohormones, in particular cytokinins (CKs). The information available on the molecular …

Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are known to play relevant roles in plant defense
against biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present study, we characterize the response of …

Brown plant hopper (BPH) is one of the major destructive insect pests of rice, causing severe
yield loss. Thirty-two BPH resistance genes have been identified in cultivated and wild …
