Although the N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most prevalent RNA
modification in eukaryotes, the global m6A modification landscape and its molecular …

Lignin is a complex polymer that is embedded in plant cell walls to provide physical support
and water protection. For these reasons, the production of lignin is closely linked with plant …

Water deficit is one of the main limiting factors in apple (Malus× domestica Borkh.)
cultivation. Root architecture plays an important role in the drought tolerance of plants; …

Cassava, an important food and energy crop, is relatively more resistant to drought stress
than other crops. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this resistance remains …
