The plant circadian clock coordinates the responses to multiple and often simultaneous
environmental challenges that the sessile plant cannot avoid. These responses must be …

Understanding abiotic stress responses in plants is an important and challenging topic in
plant research. Physiological and molecular biological analyses have allowed us to draw a …

Abiotic and biotic stresses are major limiting factors of crop yields and cause billions of
dollars of losses annually around the world. It is hoped that understanding at the molecular …

Ca2+ signals are a core regulator of plant cell physiology and cellular responses to the
environment. The channels, pumps, and carriers that underlie Ca2+ homeostasis provide …

Background As important components in saline agriculture, halophytes can help to provide
food for a growing world population. In addition to being potential crops in their own right …

Water availability is one of the main limiting factors for plant growth and development. The
phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) fulfills a critical role in coordinating the responses to …

Ca2+ signals are core transducers and regulators in many adaptation and developmental
processes of plants. Ca2+ signals are represented by stimulus-specific signatures that result …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) mediates seed dormancy, controls seedling
development and triggers tolerance to abiotic stresses, including drought. Core ABA …

Calcium ion (Ca2+) is one of the very important ubiquitous intracellular second messenger
molecules involved in many signal transduction pathways in plants. The cytosolic free Ca2+ …
