RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) are components of the post‐transcriptional regulatory system,
but their regulatory effects on complex traits remain unknown. Using an integrated strategy …

Acid soil syndrome leads to severe yield reductions in various crops worldwide. In addition
to low pH and proton stress, this syndrome includes deficiencies of essential salt-based …

Rice (Oryza sativa) exhibits tremendous aluminum (Al)-tolerance. The C2H2-transcription
factor (TF) ART1 critically regulates rice Al tolerance via modulation of specific gene …

A moderate supply of aluminum (Al) can promote the root growth of plant species, such as
tea, that have adapted to acid soils. The formation and development of roots are regulated …

Aluminium (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for plant productivity in acidic soils. Calcium
(Ca) is an essential element and participates in various physiological responses to …

Kiwifruit is loved by consumers for its unique taste and rich vitamin C content. Kiwifruit are
very sensitive to adverse soil environments owing to fleshy and shallow roots, which limits …

Metal stress is among the important environmental stresses, which influences the growth
and development of plants and crops in many areas in the biosphere. Root is an important …

Zinc finger transcription factors, STOP1-like proteins, are conserved among land plant
species and control the expression of aluminum tolerance genes in various plant species …

Aluminum (Al) solubilizes into trivalent ions (Al3+) on acidic soils, inhibiting root growth.
Since about 13% of global rice cultivation is grown on acidic soils, improving Al tolerance in …

A well-developed root system is essential for efficient water uptake, particularly in drought-
prone environments. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the promotion of root …
