Abstract Key message Small RNAs have emerged as key players of gene expression
regulation. Several lines of evidences highlight their role in modulating high temperature …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that consist of 21–24 nucleotides.
They have been extensively investigated as critical regulators in a variety of biological …

Due to global climate change, temperature stress has become one of the primary causes of
crop losses worldwide. Much progress has been made in unraveling the complex stress …

Abiotic stress is one of the primary causes of crop losses worldwide. Much progress has
been made in unraveling the complex stress response mechanisms, particularly in the …

Understanding gene regulation mechanisms is important for genetic improvement of abiotic
stress resistance of crops. In response to developmental and environmental cues, plants …

Being sessile organisms, plants often have to face challenges posed by environmental
stresses. To minimize the cellular damage caused by stress, plants have evolved highly …

In response to rapidly changing environment, plants have employed a plethora of
mechanisms that provide phenotypic plasticity and allow fine-tuning of stress-response …

Small, non-coding RNAs are a distinct class of regulatory RNAs in plants and animals that
control a variety of biological processes. In plants, several classes of small RNAs with …

Cold stress adversely affects plant growth and development and thus limits crop productivity.
Diverse plant species tolerate cold stress to a varying degree, which depends on …

Saline environment cues distort the plant growth, development and crop yield. Epigenetics
has emerged as one of the prime themes in plant functional genomics for molecular-stress …
