Recent studies have revealed the complex and flexible transcriptional regulatory network
involved in cold-stress responses. Focusing on two major signaling pathways that respond …

Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts the growth and yield of crops.
Understanding the physiological, metabolic, and biochemical responses of plants to salt …

Conifers dominate the world's forest ecosystems and are the most widely planted tree
species. Their giant and complex genomes present great challenges for assembling a …

Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce
plant growth, productivity and quality. Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these …

Temperature is a key factor governing the growth and development, distribution, and

Cold stress restricts plant growth, development, and distribution. Understanding how plants
transduce and respond to cold signals has long been a topic of interest. Traditional genetic …

To survive under cold temperatures plants must be able to perceive a cold signal and
transduce it into downstream components that induce appropriate defense mechanisms. In …
