Hydroponic systems have gained worldwide popularity and are increasingly used for
various purposes in different geographic areas. The purpose of this review is to present …

Endophytic bacteria, which interact closely with their host, are an essential part of the plant
microbiome. These interactions enhance plant tolerance to environmental changes as well …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a special crop plant that underwent anthropogenic evolution
from a wild grass species to an important food, fodder, and energy crop. Unlike any other …

Abstract MicroRNA528 (miR528) is a conserved monocot-specific small RNA that has the
potential of mediating multiple stress responses. So far, however, experimental functional …

Rice is the most important food crop worldwide and sustainable rice production is important
for ensuring global food security. Biotic stresses limit rice production significantly and among …

Copper (Cu) micro RNA s are upregulated by Cu deficiency and mediate the post‐
transcriptional downregulation of transcripts that encode Cu proteins, suggesting a role …

Plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) stimulate plant growth through diverse
mechanisms. In addition to biological nitrogen fixation, diazotrophic PGPB can improve …

Timing of flowering is not only an interesting topic in developmental biology, but it also plays
a significant role in agriculture for its effects on the maturation time of seed. The hexaploid …

Maize roots can be colonized by free-living atmospheric nitrogen (N2)-fixing bacteria
(diazotrophs). However, the agronomic potential of non-symbiotic N2-fixation in such an …

The increasing demand for food is the result of an increasing population. It is crucial to
enhance crop yield for sustainable production. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have gained …
