Key message The potential of seed priming is still not fully exploited. Our limited knowledge
of the molecular dynamics of seed pre-germinative metabolism is the main hindrance to …

During the last years, a great effort has been dedicated at the development and employment
of diverse approaches for achieving more stress‐tolerant and climate‐flexible crops and …

Plants are a major source of food for the world population. Plant diseases contribute to
production loss, which can be tackled with continuous monitoring. Manual plant disease …

Closely related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments.
However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential and …

Climate change is a major threat to crop productivity that negatively affects food security
worldwide. Increase in global temperatures are usually accompanied by drought, flooding …

Background and aims Crop diversity has been repeatedly shown to support multiple
ecosystem functions, both directly and indirectly, driven by interspecific root-root interactions …

Plants are sessile organisms that are often subjected to a multitude of environmental
stresses, with the occurrence of these events being further intensified by global climate …

Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions underlie essentially all biogeochemical cycles. Like
most soil properties and processes, redox is spatiotemporally heterogeneous. However …

Climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme heat events that aggravate its
negative impact on plant development and agricultural yield. Most experiments designed to …

Temperature is a critical environmental factor regulating plant growth and yield. Corn is a
major agronomic crop produced globally over a vast geographic region, and highly variable …
