Defense against stress and active suppression of growth are two complementary strategies
by which plants respond to adverse environments. Although beneficial for plant survival …

Direct competition for resources is generally considered the primary mechanism for weed-
induced yield loss. A re-evaluation of physiological evidence suggests weeds initially impact …

Lipoxygenases (LOXs), naturally occurring enzymes, are widely distributed in plants and
animals. LOXs can be non-sulfur iron, non-heme iron, or manganese-containing …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates various aspects of plant physiology, including promoting seed
dormancy and adaptive responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. In addition, ABA plays an …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the “classical” plant hormones, ie discovered at least 50 years
ago, that regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. This chapter reviews our …

Wounding is a primary trigger of organ regeneration, but how wound stress reactivates cell
proliferation and promotes cellular reprogramming remains elusive. In this study, we …

▪ Abstract Salt and drought stress signal transduction consists of ionic and osmotic
homeostasis signaling pathways, detoxification (ie, damage control and repair) response …

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress in plant agriculture worldwide. This has led to research
into salt tolerance with the aim of improving crop plants. However, salt tolerance might have …

Agricultural productivity worldwide is subject to increasing environmental constraints,
particularly to drought and salinity due to their high magnitude of impact and wide …

The increasing seriousness of salinization aggravates the food, population and
environmental issues. Ameliorating the salt-resistance of plants especially the crops is the …
