▪ Abstract Molecular studies of drought stress in plants use a variety of strategies and include
different species subjected to a wide range of water deficits. Initial research has by necessity …

Plants face variable environmental stresses that negatively affect plant growth and
productivity. The multiplicity of responses is an important aspect of the complexity of stress …

The scarcity of accessible sites that are dynamic or cell type-specific in plants may be due in
part to tissue heterogeneity in bulk studies. To assess the effects of tissue heterogeneity, we …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in environmental stress responses of higher
plants during vegetative growth. One of the ABA-mediated responses is the induced …

To determine if damage to foliage by biotic agents, including arthropods, fungi, bacteria and
viral pathogens, universally downregulates the expression of genes involved in …

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins are a class of transcription factors found throughout
eukaryotic organisms. Classification of the complete sets of bHLH proteins in the sequenced …

The transcription factor LONG HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5) acts downstream of multiple families of
the photoreceptors and promotes photomorphogenesis. Although it is well accepted that …

The response of Arabidopsis thaliana to low-oxygen stress (hypoxia), such as during shoot
submergence or root waterlogging, includes increasing the levels of∼ 50 hypoxia …

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays an essential role in adaptive stress responses.
The hormone regulates, among others, the expression of numerous stress-responsive …

Mutations in the genes encoding for either the biosynthetic or transcriptional regulation of
the anthocyanin pathway have been linked to color phenotypes. Generally, this is a loss of …
