The recurrent repeats having conserved stretches of amino acids exists across all domains
of life. Subsequent repetition of single sequence motif and the number and length of the …

Plants exhibit an amazing developmental flexibility. Plant embryogenesis results in the
establishment of a simple apical–basal axis represented by apical shoot and basal root …

Societal Impact Statement Micronutrient deficiency is a serious and underestimated global
health concern. Identifying existing micronutritional richness in traditional crops, and …

Plasma membrane repair in animal cells uses synaptotagmin 7, a Ca2+-activated
membrane fusion protein that mediates delivery of intracellular membranes to wound sites …

The making of a fruit is a developmental process unique to plants. It requires a complex
network of interacting genes and signaling pathways. In fleshy fruit, it involves three distinct …

ABSTRACT NAC (NAM/ATAF1/2/CUC2) transcription factors are central switches of growth
and stress responses in plants. However, unpredictable interspecies conservation of …

To understand the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying seedling salt
tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.), the phenotypic, metabolic, and transcriptome responses of …

Plants that have experienced certain abiotic stress may gain tolerance to a similar stress in
subsequent exposure. This phenomenon, called priming, was observed here in soybean …

Cold stress is a key environmental constraint that dramatically affects the growth,
productivity, and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum); however, the underlying …

Abiotic stress is a major environmental factor that limits cotton growth and yield, moreover,
this problem has become more and more serious recently, as multiple stresses often occur …
