As sessile organisms, plants must tolerate various environmental stresses. Plant hormones
play vital roles in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Among these hormones …

Cold stress restricts plant growth, development, and distribution. Understanding how plants
transduce and respond to cold signals has long been a topic of interest. Traditional genetic …

Preharvest sprouting (PHS) due to lack of seed dormancy seriously threatens crop
production worldwide. As a complex quantitative trait, breeding of crop cultivars with suitable …

Cold stress has always been a significant limitation for plant development and causes
substantial decreases in crop yield. Some temperate plants, such as Arabidopsis, have the …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades are important signaling modules that convert
environmental stimuli into cellular responses. We show that MPK3, MPK4, and MPK6 are …

The three tandemly arranged CBF genes, CBF1, CBF2, and CBF3, are involved in cold
acclimation. Due to the lack of stable loss-of-function Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

Plants are challenged with numerous abiotic stresses, such as drought, cold, heat, and salt
stress. These environmental stresses are major causes of crop failure and reduced yields …

The change in climatic conditions is the major cause for decline in crop production
worldwide. Decreasing crop productivity will further lead to increase in global hunger rate …

Due to global warming and population growth, plants need to rescue themselves, especially
in unfavorable environments, to fulfill food requirements because they are sessile …

In plants, cold temperatures trigger stress responses and long-term responses that result in
cold tolerance. In Arabidopsis thaliana, three dehydration-responsive element (DRE) …
