Plants respond with changes in their pattern of gene expression and protein products when
exposed to low temperatures. Thus ability to adapt has an impact on the distribution and …

Seeds are unique time capsules that can switch between 2 complex and highly interlinked
stages: seed dormancy and germination. Dormancy contributes to the survival of plants …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Temperate plants are capable of develo** freezing tolerance when they are exposed to
low nonfreezing temperatures. Acquired freezing tolerance involves extensive …

Over the past few decades seed physiology research has contributed to many important
scientific discoveries and has provided valuable tools for the production of high quality …

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in eukaryotes have crucial roles in all aspects of post-
transcriptional gene regulation. They are important governors of diverse developmental …

Seed plants are sessile organisms that have developed a plethora of strategies for sensing,
avoiding, and responding to stress. Several proteins, including the glycine-rich protein …

The first plant glycine–rich proteins (GRPs) have been isolated more than 20 years ago
based on their specific expression pattern and/or modulation by several biotic and abiotic …

Despite the fact that glycine‐rich RNA‐binding proteins (GRPs) have been implicated in the
responses of plants to environmental stresses, their physiological functions and …

Climatic models indicated that in this century, both average temperatures and extreme
events frequency will increase in the Mediterranean basin. These changes are expected to …
