Drought stress is an important environmental factor limiting plant productivity. In this study,
we screened drought-resistant transgenic plants from 65 promoter-pyrabactin resistance 1 …

The interface between plant organelles and non-biological nanostructures has the potential
to impart organelles with new and enhanced functions. Here, we show that single-walled …

Almost a century after Muriel Wheldale's landmark publication,“The Anthocyanin Pigments of
Plants”(Wheldale, 1916), much about anthocyanin function in plants remains to be …

Plants are challenged with numerous abiotic stresses, such as drought, cold, heat, and salt
stress. These environmental stresses are major causes of crop failure and reduced yields …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the “classical” plant hormones, ie discovered at least 50 years
ago, that regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. This chapter reviews our …

The timing of the end of the vegetation growing season (EOS) plays a key role in terrestrial
ecosystem carbon and nutrient cycles. Autumn phenology is, however, still poorly …

Leaf senescence is a highly coordinated, complicated process involving the integration of
numerous internal and environmental signals. Salicylic acid (SA) and reactive oxygen …

Increases in ambient temperatures have been a severe threat to crop production in many
countries around the world under climate change. Chloroplasts serve as metabolic centers …

Water stress (drought and waterlogging) is severe abiotic stress to plant growth and
development. Melatonin, a bioactive plant hormone, has been widely tested in drought …

This report provides direct evidence that strigolactone (SL) positively regulates drought and
high salinity responses in Arabidopsis. Both SL-deficient and SL-response [more axillary …
