Jasmonates (JAs) and ethylene (ET), often acting cooperatively, play essential roles in
regulating plant defense against pests and pathogens. Recent research reviewed here has …

Abiotic and biotic stresses are major limiting factors of crop yields and cause billions of
dollars of losses annually around the world. It is hoped that understanding at the molecular …

Plants respond with changes in their pattern of gene expression and protein products when
exposed to low temperatures. Thus ability to adapt has an impact on the distribution and …

Plant growth and productivity are greatly affected by environmental stresses such as
drought, high salinity, and low temperature. Expression of a variety of genes is induced by …

Low temperature, drought, and high salinity are common stress conditions that adversely
affect plant growth and crop production. The cellular and molecular responses of plants to …

Cold temperatures trigger the expression of the CBF family of transcription factors, which in
turn activate many downstream genes that confer chilling and freezing tolerance to plants …

Recently, a major transcription system that controls abscisicacid-independent gene
expression in response to dehydration and low temperature has been identified. The system …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the “classical” plant hormones, ie discovered at least 50 years
ago, that regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. This chapter reviews our …

Cold temperatures trigger the expression of the CBF family of transcription factors, which in
turn activate many downstream genes that confer freezing tolerance to plants. It has been …
