Adaptation to unfavorable abiotic stresses is one of the key processes in the evolution of
plants. Calcium (Ca2+) signaling is characterized by the spatiotemporal pattern of Ca2+ …

Key message We propose that anion channels are essential players for green plants to
respond and adapt to the abiotic stresses associated changing climate via reviewing the …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution of agricultural soils is a growing global concern. Plant growth
restriction is the main visible symptom of Cd toxicity, and this metal may be particularly …

Drought, the most significant environmental stressor, severely limits plant growth and
development and significantly reduces crop production. Drought stress responses vary …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that play a vital role in plant responses to
abiotic and biotic stresses. Recently, it has been discovered that some primary miRNAs (pri …

Heavy metal stress (HMS) is one of the most destructive abiotic stresses which seriously
affects the growth and development of plants. Recent studies have shown significant …

The superior properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has resulted in their broad utilization
worldwide, but also the risk of irreversible environment infestation. The plant cuticle and cell …

High levels of cadmium (Cd) in soil can cause crop yield reduction or death. Cadmium
accumulation in crops affects human and animal health as it passes through the food chain …

DIRIGENT (DIR) genes are key players in environmental stress responses that have been
identified in many vascular plant species. However, few studies have examined the VrDIR …

Abstract Background Cadmium (Cd) pollution in agricultural soils causes the decrease of
crop yield as well as crops contamination with Cd, which then enters a food chain …
