Environmental drought and high salinity impose osmotic stress, which inhibits plant growth
and yield. Thus, understanding how plants respond to osmotic stress is critical to improve …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is fundamental for land plant adaptation to water‐
limited conditions. Osmostress, such as drought, induces ABA accumulation in angiosperms …

Plants control water‐use efficiency (WUE) by regulating water loss and CO2 diffusion
through stomata. Variation in stomatal control has been reported among lineages of …

With global climate change, water scarcity threatens whole agro/ecosystems. The desert
moss Syntrichia caninervis, an extremophile, offers novel insights into surviving desiccation …

The genomes of charophyte green algae, close relatives of land plants, typically do not show
signs of developmental regulation by phytohormones. However, scattered reports of …

Water is essential, irreplaceable, and indispensable for any kind of carbon-based-life
metabolic activity. Water-dependent living beings are the expected pattern in nature …

The best predictor of leaf level photosynthetic rate is the porosity of the leaf surface, as
determined by the number and aperture of stomata on the leaf. This remarkable correlation …

Transcription factors control gene expression, leading to regulation of biological processes
that determine plant development and adaptation to the environment. Land colonization by …

Water scarcity, resulting from climate change, poses a significant threat to ecosystems.
Syntrichia ruralis, a dryland desiccation‐tolerant moss, provides valuable insights into …

Abiotic stress is one of the major environmental constraints limiting plant growth. Syntrichia
caninervis is one of the unique plant models that can cope with harsh environments …
