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 …

In natural or agricultural environments, plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of
biotic and abiotic stresses. Given the forecasted global climate changes, plants will cope …

Drought (water stress) is one of the most important environmental stresses and occurs for
several reasons, including low rainfall, salinity, high and low temperatures, and high …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that have recently emerged as
important regulators of gene expression, mainly through cleavage and/or translation …

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 …

Climate fluctuation mediated abiotic stress consequences loss in crop yields. These stresses
have a negative impact on plant growth and development by causing physiological and …

Plants have been naturally gifted with mechanisms to adjust under very high or low nutrient
concentrations. Heavy metal toxicity is considered as a major growth and yield-limiting factor …

Cumulatively, biotic and abiotic stresses of various magnitudes can decrease the production
of crops by 70%. miRNAs have emerged as a genetic tool with enormous potential that can …

The increasing demand for food is the result of an increasing population. It is crucial to
enhance crop yield for sustainable production. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have gained …

Rice blast, caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, is a major constraint to rice
production worldwide. In this study, we developed monogenic near-isogenic lines (NILs) NIL …
