Cold stress has always been a significant limitation for plant development and causes
substantial decreases in crop yield. Some temperate plants, such as Arabidopsis, have the …

Environmental pollution, global warming and climate change exacerbate the impact of biotic
and abiotic stresses on plant growth and yield. Plants have evolved sophisticated defence …

Plants are constantly exposed to various stresses, which can degrade their health. The
stresses can be alleviated by the application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), which is a …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in plant
development and stress responses. Loss-of-function analysis of miRNA genes has been …

With unfavourable climate changes and an increasing global population, there is a great
need for more productive and stress-tolerant crops. As traditional methods of crop …

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 …

The phytohormone auxin and microRNA-mediated regulation of gene expressions are key
regulators of plant growth and development at both optimal and under low-temperature …

Drought stress has adverse impacts on plant production and productivity. Micro RNA s (mi
RNA s) are one class of noncoding RNA s regulating gene expression post‐transcriptionally …

Key message Nitric oxide is a dynamic gaseous molecule involved in signalling, crosstalk
with stress regulators, and plant abiotic-stress responses. It has great exploratory potentials …

Drought and heat tolerance are complex quantitative traits. Moreover, the adaptive
significance of some stress-related traits is more related to plant survival than to agronomic …
