This study was designed to investigate at the molecular level how a transgenic version of
rice “Nipponbare” obtained a drought-resistant phenotype. Using multi-omics sequencing …

Abiotic stresses severely affect plant growth and productivity. To cope with abiotic stresses,
plants have evolved tolerance mechanisms that are tightly regulated by reprogramming …

Plants have evolved multiple protective strategies to adapt to adverse environmental
conditions. Upland rice (UR) has evolved as a “drought-resistant type”. However, little is …

Functional characterization of stress-responsive genes through the analysis of transgenic
plants is a standard approach to comprehend their role in climate resilience and …

Plant responses to drought stress require the regulation of transcriptional networks via
drought-responsive transcription factors, which mediate a range of morphological and …

The AP2/EREBP family transcription factors play important roles in a wide range of stress
tolerance and hormone signaling. In this study, a heat-inducible rice ERF gene was isolated …

Key message OsERF096 negatively regulates rice cold tolerance and mediates IAA
biosynthesis and signaling under cold stress. Abstract The APETALA2/ethylene-responsive …

Epigenetic mechanisms are crucial mediators of appropriate plant reactions to adverse
environments, but their involvement in long-term adaptation is less clear. Here, we …

Water deficiencies are one of the most serious challenges to crop productivity. To improve
our understanding of soil moisture stress, we performed RNA-Seq analysis using roots from …

Lectins are gradually gaining importance in regulating abiotic stress response in plants.
Among them, the R40 family plays pivotal role in regulating drought response. The …
