The dramatic temperature fluctuations spurred by climate change inhibit plant growth and
threaten crop productivity. Unraveling how plants defend themselves against temperature …

Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce
plant growth, productivity and quality. Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these …

Temperature is a key factor governing the growth and development, distribution, and
seasonal behavior of plants. The entire plant life cycle is affected by environmental …

Contents Summary I. Introduction II. Cold stress and physiological responses in plants III.
Sensing of cold signals in plants IV. Messenger molecules involved in cold signal …

The plant circadian clock coordinates the responses to multiple and often simultaneous
environmental challenges that the sessile plant cannot avoid. These responses must be …

Alternative splicing (AS) of precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) from multiexon genes allows
organisms to increase their coding potential and regulate gene expression through multiple …

High-throughput sequencing for transcript profiling in plants has revealed that alternative
splicing (AS) affects a much higher proportion of the transcriptome than was previously …

Plants acquire enhanced tolerance to intermittent abiotic stress by employing information
obtained during prior exposure to an environmental disturbance, a process known as …

Plants are constantly exposed to a variety of environmental stresses. Freezing or extremely
low temperature constitutes a key factor influencing plant growth, development and crop …

Circadian clocks are endogenous timekeeping networks that allow organisms to align their
physiology with their changing environment and to perform biological processes at the most …
