Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates numerous developmental processes and adaptive stress
responses in plants. Many ABA signaling components have been identified, but their …

We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

We report the draft genome sequence of the model moss Physcomitrella patens and
compare its features with those of flowering plants, from which it is separated by more than …

Embryophytes (land plants) can be found in almost any habitat on the Earth's surface. All of
this ecologically diverse embryophytic flora arose from algae through a singular evolutionary …

Grasses began to diversify in the late Cretaceous Period and now dominate more than one
third of global land area, including three-quarters of agricultural land. We hypothesize that …

Plants face different types of stresses, including biotic and abiotic stresses. Among various
abiotic stress, low-temperature stress alters various morphological, cytological …

Growth and carbon (C) fluxes are severely altered in plants exposed to soil water deficit.
Correspondingly, it has been suggested that plants under water deficit suffer from C …

Drought has become an important factor limiting crop yields in China. As an important
greenhouse horticultural crop in China, the research of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv …

Abscisic acid (ABA)-driven stomatal regulation reportedly evolved after the divergence of
ferns, during the early evolution of seed plants approximately 360 million years ago. This …

Land plants are prone to strong thermal variations and must therefore sense early moderate
temperature increments to induce appropriate cellular defenses, such as molecular …
