occur. In the rhizosphere, microorganisms' beneficial and harmful activities affect plant …

Among abiotic stresses, heat stress is described as one of the major limiting factors of crop
growth worldwide, as high temperatures elicit a series of physiological, molecular, and …

Temperature is one of the main environmental cues affecting plant growth and development,
and plants have evolved multiple mechanisms to sense and acclimate to high temperature …

The establishment, maintenance, and removal of epigenetic modifications provide an
additional layer of regulation, beyond genetically encoded factors, by which plants can …

Understanding plant stress memory under extreme temperatures such as cold and heat
could contribute to plant development. Plants employ different types of stress memories …

The hypocotyl is the embryonic stem connecting the primary root to the cotyledons.
Hypocotyl length varies tremendously depending on the conditions. This developmental …

Plants can sense temperature changes and adjust their development and morphology
accordingly in a process called thermomorphogenesis. This phenotypic plasticity implies …

Protecting the environment from harmful pollutants has become increasingly difficult in
recent decades. The presence of heavy metal (HM) pollution poses a serious environmental …

As worldwide warming intensifies, the average temperature of the earth continues to
increase. Temperature is a key factor for the growth and development of all organisms and …

As sessile organisms, plants are particularly affected by climate change and will face more
