Plant growth, development, and productivity are adversely affected by environmental
stresses such as drought (osmotic stress), soil salinity, cold, oxidative stress, irradiation, and …

Background AP2/ERF transcription factors perform indispensable functions in various
biological processes, such as plant growth, development, biotic and abiotic stresses …

Understanding the molecular basis of the gene-regulatory networks underlying agronomic
traits or plant responses to abiotic/biotic stresses is very important for crop improvement. In …

Background AP2/ERF transcription factors (TFs) constitute one of the largest TF families in
plants, which play crucial roles in plant metabolism, growth, and development as well as …

Soybean (Glycine max) is a major grain and oil crop worldwide, but low phosphorus (LP) in
soil severely limits the development of soybean production. Dissecting the regulatory …

Background The basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) serve crucial roles
in regulating plant growth and development and typically participate in biological processes …

APETALA2/ethylene responsive factors respond to ethylene and participate in many
biological and physiological processes, such as plant morphogenesis, stress resistance …

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is an important leafy vegetable consumed worldwide. Heat‐
induced bolting and flowering greatly limit lettuce production during the summer …

Ethylene response factors (ERFs) are involved in biotic and abiotic stress; however, the
drought resistance mechanisms of many ERFs in soybeans have not been resolved …

Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is one of the most damaging
