Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and
extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their …

Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts the growth and yield of crops.
Understanding the physiological, metabolic, and biochemical responses of plants to salt …

Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce
plant growth, productivity and quality. Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these …

In eukaryotic cells, gene expression is greatly influenced by the dynamic chromatin
environment. Epigenetic mechanisms, including covalent modifications to DNA and histone …

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that results in considerable crop yield losses worldwide.
However, some plant genotypes show a high tolerance to soil salinity, as they manage to …

Crop performance is severely affected by high salt concentrations in soils. To engineer more
salt-tolerant plants it is crucial to unravel the key components of the plant salt-tolerance …

Excess soil salinity affects large regions of land and is a major hindrance to crop production
worldwide. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant salt tolerance has …

Unlike animals, plants are immobile and could not actively escape the effects of aggressive
environmental factors, such as pathogenic microorganisms, insect pests, parasitic plants …

Saline-alkali soils pose an increasingly serious global threat to plant growth and
productivity. Much progress has been made in elucidating how plants adapt to salt stress by …
