Cellular membranes function as permeability barriers that separate cells from the external
environment or partition cells into distinct compartments. These membranes are lipid …

Abiotic stress is the adverse effect of any abiotic factor on a plant in a given environment,
impacting plants' growth and development. These stress factors, such as drought, salinity …

Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and
extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their …

Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce
plant growth, productivity and quality. Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these …

The ability to sense physical forces is conserved across all organisms. Cells convert
mechanical stimuli into electrical or chemical signals via mechanically activated ion …

OSCA/TMEM63 channels are the largest known family of mechanosensitive channels,–,
playing critical roles in plant,,–and mammalian, mechanotransduction. Here we determined …

Abstract The Transporter Classification Database (TCDB; tcdb. org) is a freely accessible
reference resource, which provides functional, structural, mechanistic, medical and …

The drought stress responses of vascular plants are complex regulatory mechanisms
because they include various physiological responses from signal perception under water …

Perception of biotic and abiotic stresses often leads to stomatal closure in plants,. Rapid
influx of calcium ions (Ca2+) across the plasma membrane has an important role in this …

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