The acquisition of stomata is one of the key innovations that led to the colonisation of the
terrestrial environment by the earliest land plants. However, our understanding of the origin …

Increasing global food production is threatened by harsh environmental conditions along
with biotic stresses, requiring massive new research into integrated stress resistance in …

Aluminum-activated malate transporters (ALMTs) and slow anion channels (SLACs) are
important in various physiological processes in plants, including stomatal regulation, nutrient …

Glasshouses hold the potential to improve global food security, but high energy costs are an
ongoing challenge in bringing them to the forefront of agriculture in warm climates. Here, the …

The cryptochrome/photolyase (CRY/PL) family represents an ancient group of proteins
fulfilling two fundamental functions. While photolyases repair UV-induced DNA damages …

Heat stress is a major environmental threat affecting crop growth and productivity. However,
the molecular mechanisms associated with plant responses to heat stress are poorly …

Although the signalling pathway of blue light (BL)‐dependent stomatal opening is well
characterized, little is known about the interspecific diversity, the role it plays in the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the key players in regulating developmental processes
of plants. Plants have evolved a large array of gene families to facilitate the ROS-regulated …

Adaptation to unfavorable abiotic stresses is one of the key processes in the evolution of
plants. Calcium (Ca2+) signaling is characterized by the spatiotemporal pattern of Ca2+ …

Global climate change is affecting plant photosynthesis and transpiration processes, as well
as increasing weather extremes impacting socio‐political and environmental events and …
