In field conditions, crops are adversely affected by a wide range of abiotic stresses including
drought, cold, salt, and heat, as well as biotic stresses including pests and pathogens. These …

Melatonin has diverse functions in plant development and stress tolerance, with recent
evidence showing a beneficial role in plant biotic stress tolerance. It has been hypothesized …

The transition to a terrestrial environment, termed terrestrialization, is generally regarded as
a pivotal event in the evolution and diversification of the land plant flora that changed the …

Increasing vulnerability of crops to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses can have a
marked influence on the growth and yield of major crops, especially sugarcane (Saccharum …

Vegetative phase changes in plants describes the transition between juvenile and adult
phases of vegetative growth before flowering. It is one of the most fundamental mechanisms …

Abiotic stresses, including drought, extreme temperatures, salinity, and waterlogging, are the
major constraints in crop production. These abiotic stresses are likely to be amplified by …

Abstract GROWTH-REGULATING FACTORs (GRFs) are sequence-specific DNA-binding
transcription factors that regulate various aspects of plant growth and development. GRF …

Salt stress is one of the most serious threats in plants, reducing crop yield and production.
The salt overly sensitive (SOS) pathway in plants is a salt-responsive pathway that acts as a …

Homeodomain–leucine zipper (HD–Zip) I transcription factors are crucial for plant responses
to drought, salt, and cold stresses. However, how they are associated with thermotolerance …

Fruits are an important source of vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the human diet. They
also contain several compounds of nutraceutical importance that have significant antioxidant …
