Increasing populations and temperatures are expected to escalate food demands beyond
production capacities, and the development of maize lines with better performance under …

While various signalling networks regulate plant responses to heat stress, the mechanisms
regulating and unifying these diverse biological processes are largely unknown. Our …

Drought stress is a major constraint in global maize production, causing almost 30–90% of
the yield loss depending upon growth stage and the degree and duration of the stress. Here …

Chilling stress is a production constraint of tomato, a tropical origin, chilling-sensitive
horticultural crop. The development of chilling tolerant tomato thus has significant potential …

Abiotic stresses are a major factor limiting crop growth and productivity. The Arabidopsis
thaliana glutaredoxin S17 (AtGRXS17) gene has conserved functions in plant tolerance to …

Climate change and associated global warming result in an increase in global temperature,
which causes a significant reduction in the overall yield of crop plants. Maize is the major …

Background Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) are highly conserved among eukaryote
and always play vital role in plant stress responses. Whereas, function and mechanism of …

Among the diverse array of heat shock proteins across the three domains of life,
mitochondria-targeted small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are evolved in the plant lineage …

Global environmental temperature changes threaten innumerable plant species. Although
various signaling networks regulate plant responses to temperature fluctuations, the …

Sterols have long been associated with diverse fields, such as cancer treatment, drug
development, and plant growth; however, their underlying mechanisms and functions …
