Main conclusion Plant osmoprotectants protect against abiotic stresses. Introgression of
osmoprotectant genes into crop plants via genetic engineering is an important strategy in …

Crop productivity in rice is harshly limited due to high concentration of salt in the soil. To
understand the intricacies of the mechanism it is important to unravel the key pathways …

Water stress (WS) and heat stress (HS) have a negative effect on soybean plant growth and
crop productivity. Changes in the physiological characteristics, proteome, and specific …

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)—CRISPR associated
protein (Cas) technology is an effective tool for site-specific genome editing, used to …

Glycine‐rich RNA‐binding proteins (GRPs) have been implicated in the responses of plants
to environmental stresses, but the function of GRP genes involved in salt stress and the …

Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is an important oilseed crop worldwide, and is also
considered as one of the most promising plants for alkali-affected soil amelioration in the …

Many cells specialize for different metabolic tasks at different times over their normal ZT
cycle by changes in gene expression. However, in most cases, circadian gene expression …

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is one of the most important enzyme families in
one-carbon metabolic pathway and photorespiration within plant cells. Recently studies …

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHM) is one of the hallmarks of one-carbon metabolism.
In plants, isoforms of SHM participate in photorespiration and/or transfer the one-carbon unit …

Ensuring food supply to the increasing global population has remained a daunting task for
agriculturalists and plant scientists, and abiotic stress only exacerbates this problem. Abiotic …
