Climate change-induced abiotic stress results in crop yield and production losses. These
stresses result in changes at the physiological and molecular level that affect the …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

Plants in their natural habitats adapt to drought stress in the environment through a variety of
mechanisms, ranging from transient responses to low soil moisture to major survival …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses which impose constraints to plant growth and
production. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple food crops and a model …

Abiotic stresses such as drought, cold, salt and heat cause reduction of plant growth and
loss of crop yield worldwide. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydrogen peroxide …

Drought is the leading threat to agricultural food production, especially in the cultivation of
rice, a semi-aquatic plant. Drought tolerance is a complex quantitative trait with a …

During crop cultivation, water-deficit conditions retard growth, thus reducing crop
productivity. Therefore, uncovering the mechanisms behind drought tolerance is a critical …

Plants often encounter unfavorable environmental conditions because of their sessile
lifestyle. These adverse factors greatly affect the geographic distribution of plants, as well as …

Maize production is threatened by drought stress worldwide. Identification of the genetic
components underlying drought tolerance in maize is of great importance. Here we report a …

NAC transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in
plants, and members of the NAC gene family have been suggested to play important roles in …
