Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of abiotic stress
combinations that negatively impact plants and pose a serious threat to crop yield and food …

The drought stress responses of vascular plants are complex regulatory mechanisms
because they include various physiological responses from signal perception under water …

Plants produce a huge array of metabolites, far more than those produced by most other
organisms. Unraveling this diversity and its underlying genetic variation has attracted …

The notion that plants use specialized metabolism to protect against environmental stresses
needs to be experimentally proven by addressing the question of whether stress tolerance …

Flavonoids are widely distributed secondary metabolites with different metabolic functions in
plants. The elucidation of the biosynthetic pathways, as well as their regulation by MYB …

Flavonoids are representative plant secondary products. In the model plant Arabidopsis
thaliana, at least 54 flavonoid molecules (35 flavonols, 11 anthocyanins and 8 …

Plant metabolism is perturbed by various abiotic stresses. As such the metabolic network of
plants must be reconfigured under stress conditions in order to allow both the maintenance …

Light plays an important role in plants' growth and development throughout their life cycle.
Plants alter their morphological features in response to light cues of varying intensity and …

Although amino acids are critical for all forms of life, only proteogenic amino acids that
humans and animals cannot synthesize de novo and therefore must acquire in their diets …

Highlights•Plants are considered to biosynthesize specialized metabolites to adapt to
environmental stresses.•The function of metabolites induced by abiotic stress in vivo is …
