Abiotic stresses, including drought and salinity, negatively affect plant development and
physiology at molecular and metabolic levels. Sucrose transport, mediating distribution of …

High salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting rice production. Melatonin has been
implicated in the salt tolerance of rice. However, the molecular basis of melatonin-mediated …

Kernel number per spike determined by the spike or inflorescence development is one
important agricultural trait for wheat yield that is critical for global food security. While a few …

Background Salinity, as one of the main abiotic stresses, critically threatens growth and
fertility of main food crops including rice in the world. To get insight into the molecular …

Characterization of the function of stress‐related genes helps to understand the
mechanisms of plant responses to environmental conditions. The findings of this work …

Background Water stress seriously constrains plant growth and yield. Long non-coding
RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as versatile regulators in various biological regulatory processes. To …

Rice is a main source of food to millions of people across the world, and hence increase in
its production/yield is vital to feed the rapidly growing population. However, the yield of rice …

The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) transcription factor family plays vital roles in
plant development and morphogenesis as well as responses to biotic and abiotic stresses …

In Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), nonhost resistance (NHR) is influenced by both leaf
age and the moment of inoculation. While the circadian clock and photoperiod have been …

Transcription factors (TFs) such as ethylene-responsive factors (ERFs) are important for
regulating plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stress. Notably, more than …
