Heat stress is a severe environmental factor that significantly reduces plant growth and
delays development. Heat stress factors (HSFs) are a class of transcription factors that are …

Introduction Verticillium dahliae causes a devastating Verticillium wilt disease on hundreds
of plant species worldwide, including cotton. Understanding the interaction mechanism …

Legumes can thrive in nitrogen-limited soil by forming a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-
fixing bacteria called rhizobia. This allows them to grow sustainably beyond their native …

Verticillium dahliae is a soilborne plant fungal pathogen that causes Verticillium wilt, a
disease that reduces the yields of many economically important crops. Despite its worldwide …

Abstract DICER-LIKE (DCL) proteins have a central role in plant small RNA (sRNA)
biogenesis. The Marchantia polymorpha genome encodes four DCL proteins: two DCL1 …

Cold stress is an adverse stimulus that affects plant growth and development, and the C-
repeat binding factor (CBF) cold-regulatory cascade has been regarded as a master …

Fungal transcription factors (TFs) implicated in the regulation of virulence gene expression
have been identified in a number of plant pathogens. In Verticillium dahliae, despite its …

Transcription factors (TFs) play a crucial role in gene expression, and studying them can lay
the foundation for future research on the functional characterization of TFs involved in …

DnaJ proteins, which are molecular chaperones that are widely present in plants, can
respond to various environmental stresses. At present, the function of DnaJ proteins was …

Among the three zinc finger-containing glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins, named AtRZ-1a,
AtRZ-1b, and AtRZ-1c, in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, AtRZ-1a has previously been …
