Plant growth and development is largely influenced by ubiquitin-mediated regulation of
protein stability. Specificity of the ubiquitination pathway is controlled mainly by the substrate …

Senescence is the final developmental stage of every plant organ, which leads to cell death.
It is a highly regulated process, involving differential gene expression and outstanding …

Abstract Background and Aims Pepper (Capsicum annuum, Solanaceae) fruits are
consumed worldwide and are of great economic importance. In most species ripening is …

The majority of common bean plants are cultivated under drought conditions. Maintaining
crop yields under drought stress is thus one of the biggest challenges facing bean …

Maintenance of homeostasis is pivotal to all forms of life. In the case of plants, homeostasis
is constantly threatened by the inability to escape environmental fluctuations, and therefore …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) perform a fundamental role in protecting plants against abiotic
stresses. Previous studies have made great efforts in the functional analysis of individual …

Abstract Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family members play important roles in protecting
plants against abiotic stresses, including salt, drought, heat, and cold. In this study, 20 …

Plants are sessile in nature and they perceive and react to environmental stresses such as
abiotic and biotic factors. These induce a change in the cellular homeostasis of reactive …

Elongation factor TFIIS (transcription factor IIS) is structurally and biochemically probably the
best characterized elongation cofactor of RNA polymerase II. However, little is known about …

Background Climate variability due to fluctuation in temperature is a worldwide concern that
imperils crop production. The need to understand how the germplasm variation in major …
