Photosynthesis sustains plant life on earth and is indispensable for plant growth and
development. Factors such as unfavorable environmental conditions, stress regulatory …

Abiotic stresses, such as low or high temperature, deficient or excessive water, high salinity,
heavy metals, and ultraviolet radiation, are hostile to plant growth and development, leading …

Heat stress (HS) is becoming an increasingly significant problem for food security as global
warming progresses. Recent studies have elucidated the complex transcriptional regulatory …

Plants heat shock factors (HSFs) are encoded by large gene families with variable structure,
expression, and function. HSFs are components of complex signaling systems that control …

Ten years after the first overview of a complete plant Hsf family was presented for
Arabidopsis thaliana by Nover et al.[1], we compiled data for 252 Hsfs from nine plant …

Abstract Background Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally important crop. Heat,
drought and their combination dramatically reduce wheat yield and quality, but the …

An increase in temperature and extreme heat stress is responsible for the global reduction in
maize yield. Heat stress affects the integrity of the plasma membrane functioning of …

Key message We summarize recent studies focusing on the molecular basis of plant heat
stress response (HSR), how HSR leads to thermotolerance, and promote plant adaptation to …

Limited information is available regarding the exact function of specific WRKY transcription
factors in plant responses to heat stress. We analyzed the roles of WRKY25, WRKY26, and …

The circadian clock in Arabidopsis exerts a critical role in timing multiple biological
processes and stress responses through the regulation of up to 80% of the transcriptome. As …
