Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) can induce oxidative stress and inflammation.
AGEs are major risk factors for the development of many aging-related diseases, such as …

Shoot development in maize begins when meristematic, non-pigmented cells at leaf base
stop dividing and proceeds toward the expanded green cells of the leaf blade. During this …

As one of the grave environmental hazards, soil salinization seriously limits crop
productivity, growth and development. When plants are exposed to salt stress, they suffer a …

In type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, hyperglycaemia speed up the production of advanced
glycation end products (AGEs), leading to oxidative stress and various diabetic …

In maize (Zea mays L.) production, grain-filling stage is a pivotal phase that drought
occurring would irreversibly cause leaf senescence and yield loss. Meanwhile, drought …

Plant hormones play a central role in various physiological functions and in mediating
defense responses against (a) biotic stresses. In response to primary metabolism alteration …

Salt stress is a major factor limiting plant growth and productivity, especially under the threat
of climate change. Therefore, it is important to develop strategies that aim to ensure food …

The challenge of desert farming with a high salt level has become an ecological task due to
