Environmental pollution, global warming and climate change exacerbate the impact of biotic
and abiotic stresses on plant growth and yield. Plants have evolved sophisticated defence …

The natural environment for plants is composed of a complex set of abiotic stresses and
biotic stresses. Plant responses to these stresses are equally complex. Systems biology …

Plant reproduction requires long-distance growth of a pollen tube to fertilize the female
gametophyte. Prior reports suggested that mutations altering synthesis of flavonoids, plant …

Small heat shock proteins are a diverse, ancient, and important family of proteins. All
organisms possess small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), indicating that these proteins …

Acclimation and adaptation of metabolism to a changing environment are key processes for
plant survival and reproductive success. In the present study, 241 natural accessions of …

Abstract Background Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones that are
involved in many normal cellular processes and stress responses, and heat shock factors …

Background Grapes are a major fruit crop around the world. Heat stress can significantly
reduce grape yield and quality. Changes at the molecular level in response to heat stress …

As sessile organisms, plants are particularly affected by climate change and will face more
frequent and extreme temperature variations in the future. Plants have developed a diverse …

Plants are simultaneously exposed to multiple stresses resulting in enormous changes in
the molecular landscape within the cell. Identification and characterization of the synergistic …

Under heat stress, polyunsaturated acyl groups, such as α-linolenate (18: 3) and
hexadecatrienoate (16: 3), are removed from chloroplastic glycerolipids in various plant …
