To ensure the food security of future generations and to address the challenge of the 'no
hunger zone'proposed by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), crop production …

Crop yield reduction as a consequence of increasingly severe climatic events threatens
global food security. Genetic loci that ensure productivity in challenging environments exist …

Mitochondria are complex organelles with different compartments, each harbouring their
own protein quality control factors. While chaperones of the mitochondrial matrix are well …

Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are a ubiquitous and ancient family of ATP-independent
molecular chaperones. A key characteristic of sHsps is that they exist in ensembles of iso …

Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are virtually ubiquitous molecular chaperones that can
prevent the irreversible aggregation of denaturing proteins. sHsps complex with a variety of …

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 …

Combined metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses were carried out with fig cultivar Green
Peel and its color mutant “Purple Peel.” Five and twenty-two metabolites were identified as …

Melatonin is a pleiotropic signaling molecule that provides physiological protection against
diverse environmental stresses in plants. Nonetheless, the mechanisms for melatonin …

Abstract Background Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are essential components in plant
tolerance mechanism under various abiotic stresses. Hsp20 is the major family of heat shock …

Heat shock factors (Hsfs) play a central regulatory role in acquired thermotolerance. To
understand the role of the major molecular players in wheat adaptation to heat stress, the …
