We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

Cereal productivity is reduced by environmental stresses such as drought, heat, elevated
CO2, salinity, metal toxicity and cold. Sometimes, plants are exposed to multiple stresses …

Genome doubling in plants induces physiological and molecular changes to withstand
environmental stress. Diploid rice (D-2x) and its tetraploid (T-4x) plants were treated with 25 …

Seeds are a vital source of calories for humans and a unique stage in the life cycle of
flowering plants. During seed germination, the embryo undergoes major developmental …

Flower opening is important for successful pollination in many plant species, and some
species repeatedly open and close their flowers. This is thought to be due to turgor pressure …

Plant A/T‐rich protein and zinc‐binding protein (PLATZ) transcription factors play important
roles in plant growth, development and abiotic stress responses. However, how PLATZ …

Introduction Engineering membrane transporters to achieve desired functionality is reliant
on availability of experimental data informing structure-function relationships and intelligent …

Accurate determination of kiwifruit maturity in the first half of the harvest window is crucial in
predicting storage risk, since early-harvested fruit are more susceptible to disorders and rots …

Background Plant aquaporins are critical genetic players performing multiple biological
functions, especially climate resilience and water-use efficiency. Their genomic diversity …

Aquaporins (AQPs) play important roles in plant growth, development and tolerance to
environmental stresses. To understand the role of AQPs in the mangrove plant Kandelia …
