The aerial parts of plants are covered with a cuticle, a hydrophobic layer consisting of cutin
polyester and cuticular waxes that protects them from various environmental stresses …

Osmotic stress that is induced by salinity and drought affects plant growth and development,
resulting in significant losses to global crop production. Consequently, there is a strong need …

Land plant aerial organs are covered by a hydrophobic layer called the cuticle that serves as
a waterproof barrier protecting plants against desiccation, ultraviolet radiation, and …

Background GRAS transcription factors usually act as integrators of multiple growth
regulatory and environmental signals, including axillary shoot meristem formation, root …

Water deficit imposed by either drought or salinity brings about severe growth retardation
and yield loss of crops. Since Brassica crops are important contributors to total oilseed …

GRAS transcription factors play multifunctional roles in plant growth, development, and
resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses. The structural and functional features of …

Key message Camelina has been highlighted as an emerging oilseed crop. Transgenic
Camelina plants overexpressing Arabidopsis MYB96 exhibited drought resistance by …

Summary The GAI-RGA-and-SCR (GRAS) proteins regulate a myriad of biological functions
in plants. The C-terminus of GRAS proteins is highly conserved, whereas the N-terminus is …

Soil salinity is one of the main factors limiting agricultural development worldwide and has
an adverse effect on plant growth and yield. To date, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria …

Drought stress can directly inhibit seedling establishment in canola (Brassica napus),
resulting in lower plant densities and reduced yields. To dissect this complex trait, 140 B …
