Protein kinases are major players in various signal transduction pathways. Understanding
the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses has …

Crop yield loss due to soil salinization is an increasing threat to agriculture worldwide. Salt
stress drastically affects the growth, development, and grain productivity of rice (Oryza sativa …

ABSTRACT Melatonin (N‐acetyl‐5‐methoxytryptamine), a well‐known mammalian
hormone, has been having a great relevance in the Plant World in recent years. Many of its …

Plant roots explore the soil for water and nutrients, thereby determining plant fitness and
agricultural yield, as well as determining ground substructure, water levels, and global …

Members of the SNF1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) family are plant-specific serine or
threonine kinases that play a pivotal role in the response of plants to abiotic stresses …

TOR kinase is a central coordinator of nutrient-dependent growth in eukaryotes. Maintaining
optimal TOR signaling is critical for the normal development of organisms. In this study, we …

The energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) can activate autophagy when
cellular energy production becomes compromised. However, the degree to which nutrient …

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) promotes plant tolerance to major stresses such as
drought, partly by modulating growth through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we …

Tudor staphylococcal nuclease (TSN; also known as Tudor‐SN, p100, or SND1) is a
multifunctional, evolutionarily conserved regulator of gene expression, exhibiting …

The process of apical dominance by which the apical bud/shoot tip of the plant inhibits the
outgrowth of axillary buds located below has been studied for more than a century. Different …
