Apple (Malus domestica) is a popular temperate fruit crop worldwide. However, its growth,
productivity, and quality are often adversely affected by abiotic stresses such as drought …

Drought is a common stress in agricultural production. Thus, it is imperative to understand
how fruit crops respond to drought and to develop drought-tolerant varieties. This paper …

Drought stress causes heavy damages to crop growth and productivity under global climatic
changes. Transcription factors have been extensively studied in many crops to play …

Water deficit is one of the main challenges for apple (Malus× domestica) growth and
productivity. Breeding drought-tolerant cultivars depends on a thorough understanding of …

GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) plays a multifaceted role in plant growth, fruit quality, and
tolerance to abiotic stresses. However, its physiological roles and mechanisms in the fruit …

Carotenoid biosynthesis is closely associated with abscisic acid (ABA) during the ripening
process of non-climacteric fruits, but the regulatory mechanism that links ABA signaling to …

Plants are sessile organisms that evolve with a flexible signal transduction system in order to
rapidly respond to environmental changes. Drought, a common abiotic stress, affects …

Apple (Malus domestica) trees often experience various abiotic and biotic stresses.
However, due to the long juvenile period of apple and its high degree of genetic …

SUMOylation is involved in various aspects of plant biology, including drought stress.
However, the relationship between SUMOylation and drought stress tolerance is complex; …

Drought stress is an environmental factor that seriously threatens plant growth, development
and yield. VQ proteins are transcriptional regulators that have been reported to be involved …
