Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Grasslands dominate the terrestrial landscape, and grasses have evolved complex and
elegant strategies to overcome abiotic stresses. The C4 grasses are particularly stress …

Drought drastically restricts wheat production, so to dissect allelic variations of drought
tolerant genes without imposing trade-offs between tolerance and yield is essential to cope …

Wheat is an important cereal crop constrained by several biotic and abiotic stresses
including drought stress. Understating the effect of drought stress and the genetic basis of …

Enhancing crop yields is a major challenge because of an increasing human population,
climate change, and reduction in arable land. Here, we demonstrate that long-lasting growth …

Fungal pathogens pose a major threat to Cannabis sativa production, requiring safe and
effective management procedures to control disease. Chitin and chitosan are natural …

Continuous and ubiquitous expression of foreign genes sometimes results in harmful effects
on the growth, development and metabolic activities of plants. Tissue-specific promoters …

Plants are constantly threatened by pathogens, so have evolved complex defence signalling
networks to overcome pathogen attacks. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are …

Chitosan is a natural elicitor, used for stimulating plant growth and inducing plant defense.
However, due to difficulty in monitoring root growth and activity, the effects of chitosan …

The regulation of protein synthesis plays an important role in the growth and development of
all organisms. Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are commonly found in eukaryotic …
