Cold stress is a crucial environmental factor influencing growth and distribution and
possessing yield penalties. To survive in the cold, plants have evolved to use a range of …

Alternative splicing (AS) is a gene regulatory mechanism that plants adapt to modulate gene
expression (GE) in multiple ways. AS generates alternative isoforms of the same gene …

Plants have evolved multiple strategies to cope with rapid changes in the environment.
During high light (HL) acclimation, the biosynthesis of photoprotective flavonoids, such as …

The regulatory framework of leaf senescence is gradually becoming clearer; however, the
fine regulation of this process remains largely unknown. Here, genetic analysis revealed that …

Climate change is causing alterations in annual temperature regimes worldwide. Important
aspects of this include the reduction of winter chilling temperatures as well as the …

Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to cope with drought, which involve massive
changes in nuclear gene expression. However, little is known about the roles of post …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important tuber food crops in the world;
however, the cultivated potatoes are susceptible to high temperature, by which potato …

In nucleotide metabolism, nucleoside kinases recycle nucleosides into nucleotides—a
process called nucleoside salvage. Nucleoside kinases for adenosine, uridine, and cytidine …

Circadian rhythms coordinate the responses of organisms with their daily fluctuating
environments, by establishing a temporal program of gene expression. This schedules …

During sexual reproduction in flowering plants, the two haploid sperm cells (SCs) embedded
within the cytoplasm of a growing pollen tube are carried to the embryo sac for double …
