Plants are exposed to an ever-changing environment to which they have to adjust
accordingly. Their response is tightly regulated by complex signaling pathways that all start …

The sharp increase in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) acreage in the late 20th century
and early 21st century is due to the demand for edible oil and feed protein. However, a …

Soil flooding creates composite and complex stress in plants known as either submergence
or waterlogging stress depending on the depth of the water table. In nature, these stresses …

Timely perception of adverse environmental changes is critical for survival. Dynamic
changes in gases are important cues for plants to sense environmental perturbations, such …

Oxygen is a key signalling component of plant biology, and whilst an oxygen-sensing
mechanism was previously described in Arabidopsis thaliana, key features of the associated …

Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and basic metabolic processes. The
application of nitrogen-containing fertilizer increases yield, which has been a substantial …

The ability of a seed to germinate and establish a plant at the right time of year is of vital
importance from an ecological and economical point of view. Due to the fragility of these …

Unanticipated flooding challenges plant growth and fitness in natural and agricultural
ecosystems. Here we describe mechanisms of developmental plasticity and metabolic …

The increased prevalence of high temperatures (HTs) around the world is a major global
concern, as they dramatically affect agronomic productivity. Upon HT exposure, plants sense …
