Advances in molecular biology including genomics, high-throughput sequencing, and
genome editing enable increasingly faster and more precise cultivar development …

Aquaporins are channel proteins that function to increase the permeability of biological
membranes. In plants, aquaporins are encoded by multigene families that have undergone …

A tremendous decline in cultivable land and resources and a huge increase in food demand
calls for immediate attention to crop improvement. Though molecular plant breeding serves …

In this study, we generated transgenic durum wheat cv. Maali overexpressing the wheat
plasma membrane aquaporin Td PIP2; 1 gene under the control of Pr Td PIP2; 1 promoter or …

The plasma membrane forms a permeable barrier that separates the cytoplasm from the
external environment, defining the physical and chemical limits in each cell in all organisms …

The production and quality of wheat are affected by abiotic constraints including water stress
and soil nutrient deficiencies. It is imperative to develop drought-tolerant wheat varieties with …

Molecular markers such as RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, CAPS, DArT, SSR, SNP, etc. have been
widely used in wheat genetic studies but have their own limitations. More recent types of …

Uptake of hazardous metal (loid) s adversely affects plants and imposes a threat to the entire
food chain. Here, the role of aquaporins (AQPs) providing tolerance against hazardous …

Abiotic stress has become a challenge to food security due to occurrences of climate change
and environmental degradation. Plants initiate molecular, cellular and physiological …

Flowering is the key process for the sexual reproduction in seed plants. In gramineous
crops, the process of flowering, which includes the actions of both glume opening and glume …
