Main conclusion Plants develop both short-term and transgenerational memory of drought
stress through epigenetic regulation of transcription for a better response to subsequent …

Abiotic stresses triggered by climate change and human activity cause substantial
agricultural and environmental problems which hamper plant growth. Plants have evolved …

Plants respond to drought stress by producing abscisic acid, a chemical messenger that
regulates gene expression and thereby expedites various physiological and cellular …

Transposable elements (TEs) have long been considered junk DNA; however, the
availability of genome sequences and the growth of omics databases have accelerated the …

Root and leaf are essential organs of plants in sensing and responding to drought stress.
However, comparative knowledge of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) of root and leaf tissues in …

Plants face a constantly changing environment, requiring fine tuning of their growth and
development. Plants have therefore developed numerous mechanisms to cope with …

Drought (D) and heat (H) are the two major abiotic stresses hindering cereal crop growth
and productivity, either singly or in combination (D/+ H), by imposing various negative …

Salinity stress typically occurs due to excessive accumulation of water-soluble salts ie.,
NaCl, which can further induce osmotic stress, ionic stress as well as oxidative stress in …

Plants have an inherent mechanism for perceiving drought stress and respond through a
series of physiological, cellular and molecular changes for maintaining physiological water …

Indica rice varieties especially from North East India show a broad variation in drought
tolerance due to the rich biodiversity of the region. In this study, genome-wide analysis of …
