Stress-responsive dihydroxy B-ring-substituted flavonoids have great potential to inhibit the
generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce the levels of ROS once they are …

Crop yield loss due to soil salinization is an increasing threat to agriculture worldwide. Salt
stress drastically affects the growth, development, and grain productivity of rice (Oryza sativa …

Soil salinity is among the leading environmental stresses affecting global agriculture,
causing billions of dollars in crop damages every year. Regardless of the cause, ion toxicity …

Salt stress reduces land and water productivity and contributes to poverty and food
insecurity. Increased salinization caused by human practices and climate change is …

We discuss on the relative significance of different functional roles potentially served by
flavonoids in photoprotection, with special emphasis to their ability to scavenge reactive …

This study characterized Pokkali-derived quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seedling stage
salinity tolerance in preparation for use in marker-assisted breeding. An analysis of 100 SSR …

Flavonoids are the low molecular weight polyphenolic secondary metabolic compounds,
and have various functions in growth, development, reproduction, and stress defense …

Rice, the primary source of dietary calories for half of humanity, is the first crop plant for
which a high-quality reference genome sequence from a single variety was produced. We …

The root growth of most crop plants is inhibited by soil salinity. Roots respond by modulating
metabolism, gene expression and protein activity, which results in changes in cell wall …

Grapes are grown in semiarid environments, where drought and salinity are common
problems. Microarray transcript profiling, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, and …
