Several environmental stresses, including biotic and abiotic factors, adversely affect the
growth and development of crops, thereby lowering their yield. However, abiotic factors, eg …

Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell wall and it is a natural phenolic polymer
with high molecular weight, complex composition and structure. Lignin biosynthesis …

Light is important for plants as an energy source and a developmental signal, but it can also
cause stress to plants and modulates responses to stress. Excess and fluctuating light result …

Abiotic stresses rewire plant central metabolism to maintain metabolic and energy
homeostasis. Metabolites involved in the plant central metabolic network serve as a hub for …

The three tandemly arranged CBF genes, CBF1, CBF2, and CBF3, are involved in cold
acclimation. Due to the lack of stable loss-of-function Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

Environmental (abiotic) stresses significantly threaten the worldwide crop production and
food security. Rapid, drastic changes in the global climate have exacerbated such stresses …

Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic
adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the …

Plants regularly face adverse growth conditions, such as drought, salinity, chilling, freezing,
and high temperatures. These stresses can delay growth and development, reduce …

Plant stress detection is considered one of the most critical areas for the improvement of
crop yield in the compelling worldwide scenario, dictated by both the climate change and the …

Metabolites reflect the integration of gene expression, protein interaction and other different
regulatory processes and are therefore closer to the phenotype than mRNA transcripts or …
