In the rhizosphere, the activities within all processes and functions are primarily influenced
by plant roots, microorganisms present in the rhizosphere, and the interactions between …

Phytohormones are ubiquitously involved in plant biological processes and regulate cellular
signaling pertaining to unheralded environmental cues, such as salinity, drought, extreme …

Cold is a key determinant for plant growth and flowering time as well as an important
environmental factor limiting plant growth and development. Recent studies have revealed …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is known to confer stress tolerance; however, at elevated levels it
impairs plant growth under prolonged stress. Paradoxically, at its basal level, ABA plays …

Abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, heat, cold, flooding, and ultraviolet radiation
causes crop losses worldwide. In recent times, preventing these crop losses and producing …

Signaling studies in the rhizosphere have focused on close interactions between plants and
symbiotic microorganisms. However, this focus is likely to expand to other microorganisms …

Carotenoids are mostly C 40 terpenoids, a class of hydrocarbons that participate in various
biological processes in plants, such as photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis …

The rhizosphere is the interface between plant roots and soil where interactions among a
myriad of microorganisms and invertebrates affect biogeochemical cycling, plant growth and …

Carotenoids are a diverse group of pigments widely distributed in nature. The vivid yellow,
orange, and red colors of many horticultural crops are attributed to the overaccumulation of …

Strigolactones (SLs), a newly discovered class of carotenoid-derived phytohormones, are
essential for developmental processes that shape plant architecture and interactions with …
