Plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth,
development and environmental stress responses. Abiotic stresses, such as drought …

Molecular oxygen (O2) sustains intracellular bioenergetics and is consumed by numerous
biochemical reactions, making it essential for most species on Earth. Accordingly, decreased …

Dynamic environmental changes such as extreme temperature, water scarcity and high
salinity affect plant growth, survival, and reproduction. Plants have evolved sophisticated …

The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world's population by 2050.
Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …

Plants are exposed to an ever-changing environment to which they have to adjust
accordingly. Their response is tightly regulated by complex signaling pathways that all start …

Soil flooding creates composite and complex stress in plants known as either submergence
or waterlogging stress depending on the depth of the water table. In nature, these stresses …

Timely perception of adverse environmental changes is critical for survival. Dynamic
changes in gases are important cues for plants to sense environmental perturbations, such …

Crop yield reduction as a consequence of increasingly severe climatic events threatens
global food security. Genetic loci that ensure productivity in challenging environments exist …

Global climate change is strongly associated with variations in precipitation and flooding
events. Flooding usually causes submergence-or partial submergence stress in plants …

Reproduction is a critical time in plant life history. Therefore, genes affecting seed dormancy
and germination are among those under strongest selection in natural plant populations …
