The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Flavonols are plant-specialized metabolites with important functions in plant growth and
development. Isolation and characterization of mutants with reduced flavonol levels …

Being rooted in place, plants are faced with the challenge of responding to unfavourable
local conditions. One such condition, heat stress, contributes massively to crop losses …

Plant reproduction requires long-distance growth of a pollen tube to fertilize the female
gametophyte. Prior reports suggested that mutations altering synthesis of flavonoids, plant …

Metabolomics is an emerging branch of “omics” and it involves identification and
quantification of metabolites and chemical footprints of cellular regulatory processes in …

Climate change-induced increases in the frequency of extreme weather events, particularly
heatwaves, are a serious threat to crop productivity. The productivity of grain crops is …

Adverse climatic conditions at the time of flowering severely hinder crop yields and threaten
the interactions between plants and their pollinators. These features depend on a common …

Elevated temperatures impair pollen performance and reproductive success, resulting in
lower crop yields. The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) anthocyanin reduced (are) mutant …

Metabolomics as a diagnosis tool for plant performance has shown good features for
breeding and crop improvement. Additionally, due to limitations in land area and the …
