The ability of a seed to germinate and establish a plant at the right time of year is of vital
importance from an ecological and economical point of view. Due to the fragility of these …

Light constitutes one of the most important environmental factors for plant growth and
development. It determines the photosynthetic rate and accumulate-assimilation besides its …

Light is a major environmental factor for seed germination. Red light-activated phytochrome
B (phyB) promotes seed germination by modulating the dynamic balance of two …

Terpene trilactones (TTLs) are important secondary metabolites and healthy components of
Ginkgo biloba. They are essential for the quality of G. biloba and have been widely used in …

Climate changes and environmental stresses have significant implications on global crop
production and necessitate develo** crops that can withstand an array of climate changes …

In the realm of plant biology, small RNAs (sRNAs) are imperative in the orchestration of
gene expression, playing pivotal roles across a spectrum of developmental sequences and …

Root development is tightly controlled by light, and the response is thought to depend on
signal transmission from the shoot. Here, we show that the root apical meristem perceives …

Seed dormancy is a developmental checkpoint that prevents mature seeds from germinating
under conditions that are otherwise favorable for germination. Temperature and light are the …

Drought is one of the major environmental stresses adversely affecting crop productivity
worldwide. Precise characterization of genes involved in drought response is necessary to …

The pre-germinative metabolism is among the most fascinating aspects of seed biology. The
early seed germination phase, or pre-germination, is characterized by rapid water uptake …
