Dynamic environmental changes such as extreme temperature, water scarcity and high
salinity affect plant growth, survival, and reproduction. Plants have evolved sophisticated …

Abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, heat, cold, flooding, and ultraviolet radiation
causes crop losses worldwide. In recent times, preventing these crop losses and producing …

ABA Insensitive 5 (ABI5) is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor that plays a key role in
the regulation of seed germination and early seedling growth in the presence of ABA and …

Plant hormones are small molecules that regulate plant growth and development, as well as
responses to changing environmental conditions. By modifying the production, distribution …

Plant growth regulators are naturally biosynthesized chemicals in plants that influence
physiological processes. Their synthetic analogous trigger numerous biochemical and …

When confronted with water limitation, plants actively reprogram their metabolism and
growth. Recently, it has become clear that growing tissues show specific and highly dynamic …

Phytohormones regulate numerous important biological processes in plant development
and biotic/abiotic stress response cascades. More than 50 and 100 years have passed since …

In endoreplication cell cycles, known as endocycles, cells successively replicate their
genomes without segregating chromosomes during mitosis and thereby become polyploid …

Through its photosynthetic capacity the leaf provides the basis for growth of the whole plant.
In order to improve crops for higher productivity and resistance for future climate scenarios, it …

Gibberellins (GAs) are growth-promoting phytohormones that were crucial in breeding
improved semi-dwarf varieties during the green revolution. However, the molecular basis for …
