Due to increasingly limited water resources, diminishing farmland acreage, and potentially
negative effects of climate change, an urgent need exists to improve agricultural productivity …

The cytokinins, which are N6‐substituted adenine derivatives, control key aspects of crop
productivity. Cytokinin levels are controlled via biosynthesis by isopentenyl transferase (IPT) …

Many Trichoderma spp. are successful plant beneficial microbial inoculants due to their
ability to act as biocontrol agents with direct antagonistic activities to phytopathogens, and …

Systemic acquired resistance is a powerful mechanism, based on the salicylic acid (SA)
signaling pathway, which allows plants to resist to a wide range of pathogens. High SA …

Underground infection of Fusarium oxysporum resulted in great yield losses in
chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) industry. However, the effect of F …

Salinity is a major constraint for intrinsically salt sensitive grain legume chickpea. Chickpea
exhibits large genetic variation amongst cultivars, which show better yields in saline …

Phytohormones are critical in various aspects of plant biology such as growth regulations
and defense strategies against pathogens. Plant–virus interactions retard plant growth …

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory transcripts of length>
200 nt. Owing to the rapidly progressing RNA-sequencing technologies, lncRNAs are …

Glyoxalase I (GLYI) is part of the glyoxalase system; its major function is the detoxification of
α‐ketoaldehydes, including the potent and cytotoxic methylglyoxal (MG). Methylglyoxal …

Abstract The Eurasian grapevine (Vitis vinifera), an Old World species now cultivated
worldwide for high-quality wine production, is extremely susceptible to the agent of downy …
