Autophagy is an intracellular process that facilitates the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic
materials by the vacuole or lysosome in eukaryotes. This conserved process is achieved …

Among different abiotic stresses, drought stress is the leading cause of impaired plant
growth and low productivity worldwide. It is therefore essential to understand the process of …

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) has great relevance considering the substantial
commercial potential of its essential oil. Nevertheless, the increasing soil salinity poses an …

Submerged plants ultimately suffer from shortage in cellular oxygen availability (hypoxia) as
a result of impaired gas diffusion underwater. The gaseous plant hormone ethylene is …

In photosynthetic cells, chloroplasts and mitochondria are the sites of the core redox
reactions underpinning energy metabolism. Such reactions generate reactive oxygen …

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a key
modulator of the development and architecture of the root system under physiological and …

Auxin response factors (ARFs) play important roles in various plant physiological processes;
however, knowledge of the exact role of ARFs in plant responses to water deficit is limited. In …

The plant growth regulator, jasmonic acid (JA) has emerged as important molecule and
involved in key processes of plants. In this study, we investigated the role of methyl …

Potato is an important food crop and its production is susceptible to drought. Drought stress
in crop growth is usually multiple-or long-term. In this study, the drought tolerant potato …

The present study aims to gain insights into the response mechanisms of drought stress
tolerance among two contrasting melon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes. Drought stress was …
