Nitrogen (N) is an essential element required for the growth and development of all plants.
On a global scale, N is agriculture's most widely used fertilizer nutrient. Studies have shown …

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are an ubiquitous protein family found in archaea,
bacteria and eukaryotes. In plants, as in other organisms, sHSPs are upregulated by stress …

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 …

Abiotic stresses (AbS), such as drought, salinity, and thermal stresses, could highly affect the
growth and development of plants. For decades, researchers have attempted to unravel the …

Regulatory systems of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to be integrated with other
pathways involving Ca2+ signaling, protein kinases, hormones and programmed cell death …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have a significant role in protein folding and are considered as
prominent candidates for development of heat-tolerant crops. Understanding of wheat HSPs …

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) have been thought to function as chaperones, protecting
their targets from denaturation and aggregation when organisms are subjected to various …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) function as molecular chaperones. These proteins are encoded
by a multigene family whose members play crucial roles in plant growth, development and …

The external application of acetic acid has recently been reported to enhance survival of
drought in plants such as Arabidopsis, rapeseed, maize, rice, and wheat, but the effects of …

Plants are widely considered as the primary source for sustaining life on earth. As plants are
sessile by nature, they are continuously exposed to many environmental stresses at various …
