Recent studies have revealed the complex and flexible transcriptional regulatory network
involved in cold-stress responses. Focusing on two major signaling pathways that respond …

Drought and cold represent distinct types of abiotic stress, each initiating unique primary
signaling pathways in response to dehydration and temperature changes, respectively …

Abiotic stresses, especially cold, salinity and drought, are the primary causes of crop loss
worldwide. Plant adaptation to environmental stresses is dependent upon the activation of …

World population is increasing at an alarming rate and is expected to reach about six billion
by the end of year 2050. On the other hand food productivity is decreasing due to the effect …

Calcium is an essential plant nutrient. It is required for various structural roles in the cell wall
and membranes, it is a counter‐cation for inorganic and organic anions in the vacuole, and …

Plants, in common with all organisms, have evolved mechanisms to cope with the problems
caused by high temperatures. We examined specifically the involvement of calcium, abscisic …

Salinity, drought and low temperature are the common forms of abiotic stress encountered
by land plants. To cope with these adverse environmental factors, plants execute several …

Plant species exhibit a range of tolerances to low temperatures, and these constitute a major
determinant of their geographical distribution and use as crops. When tolerance is …

Plants exhibit a variety of responses to abiotic stresses that enable them to tolerate and
survive adverse conditions. As we learn more about the signalling pathways leading to …

BACKGROUND: Calcium serves as a versatile messenger in many adaptation and
developmental processes in plants. Ca2+ signals are represented by stimulus-specific …
