Genetic diversity in the plant response to flooding includes alterations in architecture …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have multifaceted roles in the orchestration of plant gene
expression and gene-product regulation. Cellular redox homeostasis is considered to be an …

Photosynthetic plants are the principal solar energy converter sustaining life on Earth.
Despite its fundamental importance, little is known about how plants sense and adapt to …

Soluble sugars, especially sucrose, glucose, and fructose, play an obviously central role in
plant structure and metabolism at the cellular and whole-organism levels. They are involved …

Flooding regimes of different depths and durations impose selection pressures for various
traits in terrestrial wetland plants. Suites of adaptive traits for different flooding stresses, such …

Sugars act as signaling molecules, whose signal transduction pathways may lead to the
activation or inactivation of gene expression. Whole-genome transcript profiling reveals that …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Extremes in water availability (droughts and floods) have increased in frequency and
