Despite being some of the most important crops globally, there has been limited research on
forages when compared with cereals, fruits, and vegetables. This review summarizes the …

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 …

Transposable elements (TEs, transposons) are mobile DNAs that can cause fatal mutations.
To suppress their activity, host genomes deploy small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that trigger …

Extreme environmental conditions seriously affect crop growth and development, resulting in
a decrease in crop yield and quality. However, small heat shock proteins (Hsp20s) play an …

Abstract Small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSPs)/HSP20 are molecular chaperones that protect
plants by preventing protein aggregation during abiotic stress conditions, especially heat …

Environmental stress affects growth and development of crops, and reduces yield and
quality of crops. To cope with environmental stressors, plants have sophisticated defense …

Adaptation to drought and salt stresses is a fundamental part of plant cell physiology and is
of great significance for crop production under environmental stress. Heat shock proteins …

As plants are sessile, they cannot escape exposure to multiple environmental stresses. Over
the course of evolution, a range of morphological and physiological adaptations has been …

Global warming has an adverse impact on agriculture and food security is in doldrums
around the world. A sharp increase in the temperature of earth is expected and may lead to …

Various abiotic stress factors, such as high temperatures and salinity, have a significant
impact on the development and growth of crop plants and ultimately impact crop yield …
