Recent studies have revealed the complex and flexible transcriptional regulatory network
involved in cold-stress responses. Focusing on two major signaling pathways that respond …

Plant beneficial microorganisms improve the health and growth of the associated plants.
Application of beneficial microbes triggers an enhanced resistance state, also termed as …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential plant defense hormone that promotes immunity against
biotrophic and semibiotrophic pathogens. It plays crucial roles in basal defense and the …

Drought and cold represent distinct types of abiotic stress, each initiating unique primary
signaling pathways in response to dehydration and temperature changes, respectively …

Global warming threatens crop production. G proteins mediate plant responses to multiple
abiotic stresses. Here we identified a natural quantitative trait locus, TT2 …

Cold is a key determinant for plant growth and flowering time as well as an important
environmental factor limiting plant growth and development. Recent studies have revealed …

Plants constantly monitor and cope with the fluctuating environment while hosting a diversity
of plant‐inhabiting microbes. The mode and outcome of plant–microbe interactions …

Plants tailor their metabolism to environmental conditions, in part through the recognition of
a wide array of self and non-self molecules. In particular, the perception of microbial or plant …

Abiotic stresses (such as metals/metalloids, salinity, ozone, UV-B radiation, extreme
temperatures, and drought) are among the most challenging threats to agricultural system …
