Plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth,
development and environmental stress responses. Abiotic stresses, such as drought …

We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

Promoter editing represents an innovative approach to introduce quantitative trait variation
(QTV) in crops. However, an efficient promoter editing system for QTV needs to be …

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) shows remarkably rapid growth (114.5 cm/day), but the
underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. After examining more than 12,750 …

Abstract Background Oil palm, Elaeis guineensis, is by far the most important global oil crop,
supplying about 40% of all traded vegetable oil. Palm oils are key dietary components …

Oxidation and reduction reactions govern a wide range of biotic and abiotic processes.
Among these are advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and advanced reduction processes …

Globally, flooding is a major threat causing substantial yield decline of cereal crops, and is
expected to be even more serious in many parts of the world due to climatic anomaly in the …

Cereal crops, including triticeae species (barley, wheat, rye), as well as edible cereals
(wheat, corn, rice, oat, rye, sorghum), are significant suppliers for human consumption …

Developmental age is a strong determinant of stress responses in plants. Differential
susceptibility to various environmental stresses is widely observed at both the organ and …
