Plants respond to various stresses by triggering the expression of genes that encode
proteins involved in plant growth, fruit ripening, cellular protein homeostasis, and tolerance …

During the process of growth and development, plants are prone to various biotic and abiotic
stresses. They have evolved a variety of strategies to resist the adverse effects of these …

Abiotic stresses triggered by climate change and human activity cause substantial
agricultural and environmental problems which hamper plant growth. Plants have evolved …

Heat shock transcription factor (Hsf) plays a critical role in regulating heat resistance. Here,
2950 Hsf family genes were identified from 111 horticultural and representative plants. More …

As sessile organisms, plants are continuously exposed to heterogeneous and changing
environments and constantly need to adapt their growth strategies. They have evolved …

Unusual daily temperature fluctuations caused by climate change and climate variability
adversely impact agricultural crop production. Since plants are immobile and constantly …

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) comprise a set of abundant and functionally diverse RNA
molecules. Since the discovery of the first ncRNA in the 1960s, ncRNAs have been shown to …

Environmental insults are inevitable companions of plants during their life-cycle, which
significantly impact growth and development and also pose serious yield penalties. In the …

Our previous study screened a long non-coding RNA, lncRNA4504, whose expression was
largely increased responding to methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment in tomato fruit …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various biological processes.
However, the regulatory roles of lncRNAs underlying fruit development have not been …
