Plants often encounter stress in their environment. For appropriate responses to particular
stressors, cells rely on sensory mechanisms that detect emerging stress. Considering sensor …

Abstract Changes in leaf temperature are known to drive stomatal responses, because the
leaf‐to‐air water vapour gradient (Δw) increases with temperature if ambient vapour …

Phospholipase C (PLC) has been implicated in several stress responses, including drought.
Overexpression (OE) of PLC has been shown to improve drought tolerance in various plant …

Background Fragaria nilgerrensis, which is a diploid wild strawberry with excellent drought-
resistance, would provide useful candidate genes for improving drought resistance of …

The impact of anthropogenic global warming has induced significant upward dispersal of
trees to higher elevations at alpine treelines. Assessing vertical deviation from current …

Global rising atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) and drought stress exert profound
influences on crop growth and yield. The objective of the present study was to investigate …

Improvement of photosynthesis in non-foliar green tissues is beneficial for enhancing crop
yield. Recently, we have demonstrated that panicle stomatal conductance is a major limiting …

Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) shows significant spatial and temporal variability in the context
of global climate change, which is important for studying the implications of climate change …

Climate change‐associated rise in VPD (atmospheric vapor pressure deficit) results in
increased plant transpiration and reduced stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, biomass …

Stomatal movement is orchestrated by diverse signaling cascades and metabolic activities
in guard cells. Light triggers the opening of the pores through the phototropin-mediated …
