Many studies have been conducted to understand plant stress responses to salinity because
irrigation-dependent salt accumulation compromises crop productivity and also to …

Ca2+ signals are a core regulator of plant cell physiology and cellular responses to the
environment. The channels, pumps, and carriers that underlie Ca2+ homeostasis provide …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) function as part of a central timing circuit that
drives daily changes in our behaviour and underlying physiology. A hallmark feature of SCN …

The circadian clock regulates diverse aspects of plant growth and development and
promotes plant fitness. Molecular identification of clock components, primarily in …

Plants demonstrate dynamic changes in molecular structures under fluctuating light
conditions. Accumulating evidence suggests that light plays a vital role in plant growth and …

Cryptochromes are photolyase-like blue light receptors originally discovered in Arabidopsis
but later found in other plants, microbes, and animals. Arabidopsis has two cryptochromes …

Synchronization of circadian clocks to the day-night cycle ensures the correct timing of
biological events. This entrainment process is essential to ensure that the phase of the …

Plants have evolved stress-sensing machineries that initiate rapid adaptive environmental
stress responses. Cytosolic calcium ion (Ca 2+) is the most prominent second messenger …

Endogenous circadian clock integrates cyclic signals of environment and daily and seasonal
behaviors of organisms to achieve spatiotemporal synchronization, which greatly improves …
