Jasmonic acid (JA) and its precursors and dervatives, referred as jasmonates (JAs) are
important molecules in the regulation of many physiological processes in plant growth and …

Ethylene induces anthocyanin biosynthesis in most fruits, including apple (Malus domestica)
and plum (Prunus spp.). By contrast, ethylene inhibits anthocyanin biosynthesis in pear …

Plants as immovable organisms sense the stressors in their environment and respond to
them by means of dedicated stress response pathways. In response to stress, jasmonates …

In the natural environment, plants are often bombarded by a combination of abiotic (such as
drought, salt, heat or cold) and biotic (necrotrophic and biotrophic pathogens) stresses …

Upland rice is a distinct ecotype that grows in aerobic environments and tolerates drought
stress. However, the genetic basis of its drought resistance is unclear. Here, using an …

The complex juvenile/maturity transition during a plant's life cycle includes growth,
reproduction, and senescence of its fundamental organs: leaves, flowers, and fruits. Growth …

Ethylene Responsive Factor (ERF) subfamily comprise the largest number of proteins in the
plant AP2/ERF superfamily, and have been most extensively studied on the biological …

Anthocyanin pigments contribute to plant coloration and are valuable sources of
antioxidants in the human diet as components of fruits and vegetables. Their production is …

Abiotic stresses are the primary sources of crop losses globally. The identification of key
