Plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth,
development and environmental stress responses. Abiotic stresses, such as drought …

The identification and characterization of cis-regulatory DNA sequences and how they
function to coordinate responses to developmental and environmental cues is of paramount …

We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

Adverse variations of abiotic environmental cues that deviate from an optimal range impose
stresses to plants. Abiotic stresses severely impede plant physiology and development …

Extensive allelic variation in agronomically important genes serves as the basis of rice
breeding. Here, we present a comprehensive map of rice quantitative trait nucleotides …

Cross-kingdom small RNA trafficking between hosts and microbes modulates gene
expression in the interacting partners during infection. However, whether other RNAs are …

The scarcity of accessible sites that are dynamic or cell type-specific in plants may be due in
part to tissue heterogeneity in bulk studies. To assess the effects of tissue heterogeneity, we …

Despite the increased access to high-quality plant genome sequences, the set of genes with
a known function remains far from complete. With the advent of novel bulk and single-cell …

Symbiotic interactions such as the nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbiosis (RNS) have
structured ecosystems during the evolution of life. Here we aimed at reconstructing ancestral …

Aspirations for high crop growth and yield, nutritional quality and bioproduction of materials
are challenged by climate change and limited adoption of new technologies. Here, we …
