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

Climate change-induced abiotic stress results in crop yield and production losses. These
stresses result in changes at the physiological and molecular level that affect the …

The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

Temperature is a key factor governing the growth and development, distribution, and
seasonal behavior of plants. The entire plant life cycle is affected by environmental …

Heat stress (HS) caused by rapidly warming climate has become a serious threat to global
food security. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food crop for over half of the world's …

Abiotic stresses such as drought, cold, salt and heat cause reduction of plant growth and
loss of crop yield worldwide. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydrogen peroxide …

The transient elevation of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+] cyt) induced by cold
stress is a well‐established phenomenon; however, the underlying mechanism remains …

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as a reactive oxygen species, is widely generated in many
biological systems. It has been considered as an important signaling molecule that mediates …

Plant annexins are Ca 2+-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins and exist as multigene
families in plants. They are implicated in the regulation of plant development as well as …
