In agricultural production, abiotic stresses are known as the main disturbance leading to
negative impacts on crop performance. Research on elucidating plant defense mechanisms …

WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of many plant processes, including the
responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, senescence, seed dormancy and seed germination …

Droughts have been recorded all across Canada and have had significant impacts on
individuals and communities. With climate change, projections suggest an increasing risk of …

The survival of plants as sessile organisms depends on their ability to cope with
environmental challenges. Of key importance in this regard is the phytohormone abscisic …

Argentina was the first country that enacted regulatory criteria to assess if organisms
resulting from New Breeding Techniques (NBTs) are to be regarded as Genetically Modified …

Potassium is actively involved in many functions such as enzyme activation, osmotic
adjustment and uptake of deleterious ions like Na. Present report analyses the effectivity of …

Global climate change and a growing population require tackling the reduction in arable
land and improving biomass production and seed yield per area under varying conditions …

The mechanisms for plant growth restriction during stress conditions remains unclear. Here,
we demonstrate that a phytochrome-interacting factor-like protein, OsPIL1/OsPIL13, acts as …

Abiotic stress conditions are the major limitations in modern agriculture. Although many
genes associated with plant response (s) to abiotic stresses have been indentified and used …

This commentary is a face-to-face debate between two almost opposite positions regarding
the application of genetic engineering in agriculture and food production. Seven questions …
