Frequently changing environmental conditions pose unwarranted threat to plants life and
impose serious penalties in terms of arrested growth, metabolism and ultimately the yield …

The monophyletic group of embryophytes (land plants) stands out among photosynthetic
eukaryotes: they are the sole constituents of the macroscopic flora on land. In their entirety …

Zygnematophyceae are the algal sisters of land plants. Here we sequenced four genomes of
filamentous Zygnematophyceae, including chromosome-scale assemblies for three strains …

The filamentous and unicellular algae of the class Zygnematophyceae are the closest algal
relatives of land plants. Inferring the properties of the last common ancestor shared by these …

Spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) is an emerging tool for crop pest protection. It utilizes
exogenously applied double‐stranded RNA to specifically reduce pest target gene …

Parasitic plants have evolved to be subtly or severely dependent on host plants to complete
their life cycle. To provide new insights into the biology of parasitic plants in general, we …

Plants, unlike animals, respond to environmental challenges with comprehensive
developmental transitions that allow them to cope with these stresses. Here we discovered …

The carrot is an important horticultural crop of the Apiaceae family, possessing considerable
nutritional and economic value. Unfortunately, the decline in the postharvest quality has …

Seeds of the root parasitic plant Striga hermonthica undergo a conditioning process under
humid and warm environments before germinating in response to host‐released stimulants …

Phytohormones possess unique chemical structures, and their physiological effects are
regulated through intricate interactions or crosstalk among multiple phytohormones. MALDI …
