Overall growth and development of a plant is regulated by complex interactions among
various hormones, which is critical at different developmental stages. Some of the key …

To meet the food demands of an increasing world population, it is necessary to improve crop
production; a task that is made more challenging by the changing climate. Several recent …

Genetic and environmental factors collectively determine plant growth and yield. In the past
20 years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted on crops to …

SNF 1-RELATED PROTEIN KINASE 2 (SnRK2) is a family of plant-specific protein kinases
which is the key regulator of hyper-osmotic stress signaling and abscisic acid (ABA) …

Some of MADS-box transcription factors (TFs) have been shown to play essential roles in
the adaptation of plant to abiotic stress. Still, the mechanisms that MADS-box proteins …

Tanshinones, isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza, is efficient to treat cardiovascular and
cerebrovascular diseases. Abscisic acid (ABA) treatment is found to promote tanshinone …

The amelioration of cadmium (Cd 2+) toxicity in plants by ammonium (NH 4+) has been
widely investigated. However, the molecular mechanisms underpinning this amelioration …

Background The sucrose non-fermenting-1-related protein kinase 2 family (SnRK2s) unifies
different abiotic stress signals in plants. To date, the functions of two rice SnRK2s, osmotic …

Summary Class I TREHALOSE‐PHOSPHATE‐SYNTHASE (TPS) genes affect salinity
tolerance and plant development. However, the function of class II TPS genes and their …

SNF1-related kinases 2 (SnRK2s) are central regulators of plant responses to environmental
cues simultaneously playing a pivotal role in the plant development and growth in favorable …
