The WRKY gene family is among the largest families of transcription factors (TFs) in higher
plants. By regulating the plant hormone signal transduction pathway, these TFs play critical …

Agricultural production and quality are adversely affected by various abiotic stresses
worldwide and this will be exacerbated by the deterioration of global climate. To feed a …

Salinity is an important abiotic environmental stress factor threatening agricultural
productivity throughout the world. The detrimental effects of salinity stress are observed at …

Salt stress is an ever-present threat to crop yields, especially in countries with irrigated
agriculture. Efforts to improve salt tolerance in crop plants are vital for sustainable crop …

Background Auxin may have a positive effect on plants under drought stress. White clover is
widely cultivated and often prone to water shortages. In the present study, we investigated …

Abiotic stresses such as, drought, heat, salinity, and flooding threaten global food security.
Crop genetic improvement with increased resilience to abiotic stresses is a critical …

Wounding stress leads to anthocyanin accumulation. However, the underlying molecular
mechanism remains elusive. In this study, Md WRKY 40 was found to promote wounding …

WRKY transcription factors (TF s) are well known for regulating plant abiotic and biotic stress
tolerance. However, much less is known about how WRKY TF s affect plant-specialized …

Drought is a major environmental stress that severely restricts plant growth and crop
productivity. A previous study showed that TaWRKY2 from wheat (Triticum aestivum) plays …

The grape (Vitis vinifera L.) not only has a long history of cultivation, but also has rich
nutritional value and high economic value. However, grapes often face many threats in the …
