Plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth,
development and environmental stress responses. Abiotic stresses, such as drought …

Drought alone causes more annual loss in crop yield than all pathogens combined. To
adapt to moisture gradients in soil, plants alter their physiology, modify root growth and …

Lychee is an exotic tropical fruit with a distinct flavor. The genome of cultivar 'Feizixiao'was
assembled into 15 pseudochromosomes, totaling~ 470 Mb. High heterozygosity (2.27%) …

As sessile organisms, plants must overcome various stresses. Accordingly, they have
evolved several plant-specific growth and developmental processes. These plant processes …

Abstract The Plant Promoter Analysis Navigator (PlantPAN; http://PlantPAN. itps. ncku. edu.
tw/) is an effective resource for predicting regulatory elements and reconstructing …

Plants evolved so that their flowering is triggered by seasonal changes in day length.
However, day-length sensitivity in crops limits their geographical range of cultivation, and …

Since the human genome was sequenced, the term" epigenetics" is increasingly being
associated with the hope that we are more than just the sum of our genes. Might what we …

The plant circadian clock coordinates the responses to multiple and often simultaneous
environmental challenges that the sessile plant cannot avoid. These responses must be …

Evolutionary success in plants is largely dependent on the successful transition from
vegetative to reproductive growth. In the lifetime of a plant, flowering is not only an essential …

Light drives plant growth and development, so its control is increasingly used as an
environment-friendly tool to manage horticultural crops. However, this implies a …
