The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and
extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their …

Recent studies have revealed the complex and flexible transcriptional regulatory network
involved in cold-stress responses. Focusing on two major signaling pathways that respond …

The dramatic temperature fluctuations spurred by climate change inhibit plant growth and
threaten crop productivity. Unraveling how plants defend themselves against temperature …

Drought and cold represent distinct types of abiotic stress, each initiating unique primary
signaling pathways in response to dehydration and temperature changes, respectively …

How the plasma membrane senses external heat-stress signals to communicate with
chloroplasts to orchestrate thermotolerance remains elusive. We identified a quantitative trait …

Salt stress is one of the major environmental stresses limiting plant growth and productivity.
To adapt to salt stress, plants have developed various strategies to integrate exogenous …

Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce
plant growth, productivity and quality. Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these …

Temperature is a key environmental cue that influences the distribution and behavior of
plants globally. Understanding how plants sense temperature and integrate this information …

Protein kinases are major players in various signal transduction pathways. Understanding
the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses has …
