Heavy metals such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Co, Cd, Zn, Hg and arsenic are for long being
accumulated in soils through industrial waste and sewage disposal. Although some of these …

Phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are three essential elements for plant survival, and
severe deficiencies in these nutrients lead to growth retardation and crop yield reduction …

Excessive sodium ion (Na+) concentrations in cultivated land alter crop yield and quality
worldwide. Previous studies have shown that shoot Na+ exclusion is essential in most crops …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Seed germination is a complex trait determined by both quantitative trait loci (QTL s) and
environmental factors and also their interactions. In this study, we mapped one major QTL …

In phylogenetic inference, we commonly use models of substitution which assume that
sequence evolution is stationary, reversible, and homogeneous (SRH). Although the use of …

Abstract Cation/H+ (NHX-type) antiporters are important regulators of intracellular ion
homeostasis and are critical for cell expansion and plant stress acclimation. In Arabidopsis …

Cell signaling is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that responds and adapts to
various internal and external factors. Generally, a signal is mediated by various signaling …

Cellular calcium elevation is an important signal used by plants for recognition and signaling
of environmental stress. Perception of the generalist insect, Spodoptera litura, by …

Main conclusion OsHAK16 mediates K uptake and root-to-shoot translocation in a broad
range of external K concentrations, thereby contributing to the maintenance of K …
