Under natural conditions, plants constantly encounter various biotic and abiotic factors,
which can potentially restrict plant growth and development and even limit crop productivity …

Plants are sessile organisms and dependent on deployment of secondary metabolites for
their response to biotic and abiotic challenges. A trade-off is envisioned between resources …

Aloe vera L. is one of the most important medicinal plants in the world. In order to determine
the effects of light intensity and water deficit stress on chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and …

Abstract Background Developing Medicago sativa L.(alfalfa) cultivars tolerant to drought is

Though there is compelling evidence for the suite of molecular events regulating the
flavonoid branch pathway that leads to anthocyanin biosynthesis (Chen et al., 2019; Naing & …

Most leafy vegetables can accumulate large amounts of nitrate, which are often associated
with harmful effects on human health. Nitrate assimilation in plants is determined by various …

Plants have evolved a plethora of mechanisms to circumvent the potential damaging effects
of living under low phosphorus availability in the soil. These mechanisms include different …

Ascorbate and anthocyanins act as photoprotectants during exposure to high light (HL).
They accumulate in Arabidopsis leaves in response to HL on a similar timescale, suggesting …

Background As the predominant secondary metabolic pathway in tea plants, flavonoid
biosynthesis increases with increasing temperature and illumination. However, the …
