Increased temperatures caused by global warming threaten agricultural production, as
warmer conditions can inhibit plant growth and development or even destroy crops in …

Increases in ambient temperatures have been a severe threat to crop production in many
countries around the world under climate change. Chloroplasts serve as metabolic centers …

Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have been reported as an artificial antenna to amplify the
harvesting ability of light and enhance photosynthesis in plants. However, the main …

In photosynthetic organisms, the photosystem II (PSII) complex is the primary target of
thermal damage. Plants have evolved a repair process to prevent the accumulation of …

Biological membranes are highly ordered structures consisting of mosaics of lipids and
proteins. Elevated temperatures can directly and effectively change the properties of these …

Plastids communicate their developmental and physiological status to the nucleus via
retrograde signaling, allowing nuclear gene expression to be adjusted appropriately …

Plants have evolved sophisticated genetic and epigenetic regulatory systems to respond
quickly to unfavorable environmental conditions such as heat, cold, drought, and pathogen …

Abnormal environmental temperature affects plant growth and threatens crop production.
Understanding temperature signal sensing and the balance between defense and …

The most conspicuous function of plastids is the oxygenic photosynthesis of chloroplasts, yet
plastids are super-factories that produce a plethora of compounds that are indispensable for …

Chloroplasts are plant organelles that carry out photosynthesis, produce various
metabolites, and sense changes in the external environment. Given their endosymbiotic …
