Environmental pollution, global warming and climate change exacerbate the impact of biotic
and abiotic stresses on plant growth and yield. Plants have evolved sophisticated defence …

In natural or agricultural environments, plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of
biotic and abiotic stresses. Given the forecasted global climate changes, plants will cope …

Biotic factors affect plant immune responses and plant resistance to pathogen infections.
Despite the considerable progress made over the past two decades in manipulating genes …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), and in particular H2O2, serve as essential second
messengers at low concentrations. However, excessive ROS accumulation leads to severe …

In nature, plants have to cope with a wide range of stress conditions that often occur
simultaneously or in sequence. To investigate how plants cope with multi‐stress conditions …

Increasing drought stress poses a severe threat to agricultural productivity. Plants, however,
have evolved numerous mechanisms to cope with such environmental stress. Here we …

In nature, plants are exposed to an ever-changing environment with increasing frequencies
of multiple abiotic stresses. These abiotic stresses act either in combination or sequentially …

Carotenoids are isoprenoid pigments indispensable for photosynthesis. Moreover, they are
the precursor of apocarotenoids, which include the phytohormones abscisic acid (ABA) and …

Biotic stress due to fungal infection is detrimental to the growth and development of
chickpea. In our study, two chickpea genotypes viz Cicer pinnatifidum (resistant) and PBG5 …

To coordinate growth, development and responses to environmental stimuli, plant cells need
to communicate the metabolic state between different sub-compartments of the cell. This …
