Plant growth and development are greatly affected by the environment. Many genes have
been identified to be involved in regulating plant development and adaption of abiotic stress …

Epigenetics are the heritable changes in gene expression patterns which occur without
altering DNA sequence. These changes are reversible and do not change the sequence of …

Soybean is a valuable crop that provides protein and oil. The soybean yield and quality are
affected by abiotic stresses viz. drought and heat stress. The process of poly (ADP-ribosyl) …

More over half of the world's population depends on rice as a major food crop. Rice (Oryza
sativa L.) is vulnerable to abiotic challenges including drought, cold, and salinity since it …

Plant stress responses are important mechanisms that allow plants to adapt and survive in a
dynamic and often challenging environment. In nature, plants encounter a wide range of …

The ever-increasing demand for vegetable oil requirement has necessitated increasing the
production of oilseeds crops. Productivity is compromised in these crops due to biotic and …

The application of miRNA mimic technology for silencing mature miRNA began in 2007. This
technique originated from the discovery of the INDUCED BY PHOSPHATE STARVATION 1 …
