Metabolic regulation is the key mechanism implicated in plants maintaining cell osmotic
potential under drought stress. Understanding drought stress tolerance in plants will have a …

Soybean is one of the important food, feed, and biofuel crops in the world. Soybean genome
modification by genetic transformation has been carried out for trait improvement for more …

The phytohormone auxin and microRNA-mediated regulation of gene expressions are key
regulators of plant growth and development at both optimal and under low-temperature …

Drought stress, an inevitable factor due to global climate change, hampers plant biomass
production and overall yield. Drought mediated stress sensitivity exerts multi-dimensional …

Climate fluctuation mediated abiotic stress consequences loss in crop yields. These stresses
have a negative impact on plant growth and development by causing physiological and …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a genetically controlled process that leads to cell suicide in
both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. In plants PCD occurs during development …

Plant AT-rich sequence and zinc binding (PLATZ) transcription factors are a class of plant
specific zinc-dependent DNA-binding proteins that function in abiotic stress response and …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is one of the important oil crops worldwide. Its production is
often threatened by drought stress. Here, we identify a transcription factor (BnaA9. NF-YA7) …

Plants are sessile organisms that evolve with a flexible signal transduction system in order to
rapidly respond to environmental changes. Drought, a common abiotic stress, affects …

Continuous and ubiquitous expression of foreign genes sometimes results in harmful effects
on the growth, development and metabolic activities of plants. Tissue-specific promoters …
