Kiwifruit is cold-sensitive and very susceptible to chilling injury (CI) during low temperature
storage. In this study, kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis cv. Hongyang) were pre-treated by water …

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) cleaves, in a Ca 2+-dependent
manner, phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate (PI-4, 5-P 2) into diacylglycerol (DAG) and …

The lipid matrix in cell membranes is a dynamic, bidimensional array of amphipathic
molecules exhibiting mesomorphism, which contributes to the membrane fluidity changes in …

Increased temperatures are a major scenario in climate change and present a threat to plant
growth and agriculture. Plant growth depends on photosynthesis. To function optimally, the …

Abstract Calcium (Ca 2+) is an essential element for the growth and development and
provides rigidity to plant cells in calcium pectate form, and also involved in microtubule …

The effects of the climate change including an increase in the average global temperatures,
and abnormal weather events such as frequent and severe heatwaves are emerging as a …

Wheat is a key economically important cereal crop that is consumed globally. While the
grain yield increase is steady at around 1%, it is not enough to meet the growing global …

Heat stress is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the growth and yield-related
characters of wheat. Using various genetic approaches we can develop heat tolerant wheat …

Temperature strongly influences the growth of maize, particularly in the early growth stages.
The exogenous application of some amino acids has been proven to have a positive effect …

Abiotic stresses (heat, drought, salinity, and heavy metals) are projected to drastically
reduce crop yields leading to seriously jeopardizing the food security of increasing …
