On the world stage, the increase in temperatures due to global warming is already a reality
that has become one of the main challenges faced by the scientific community. Since …

Increasing soil salinization largely impacts crop yield worldwide. To deal with salinity stress,
plants exhibit an array of responses, including root system architecture remodelling. Here …

Cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis enzymes play important roles in plant growth,
development and stress responses. The functions of cell wall polysaccharide synthesis …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a global cereal crop whose demand is projected to double by 2050.
Along with worsening of farmland salinization, salt stress has become a major …

Abstract Key message Combined GWAS, WGCNA, and gene-based association studies
identified the co-expression network and hub genes for maize EC induction. ZmARF23 …

To determine whether root‐supplied ABA alleviates saline stress, tomato (Solanum
lycopersicum L. cv. Sugar Drop) was grafted onto two independent lines (NCED OE) …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have emerged as a powerful tool for unraveling
intricate genotype–phenotype association across various species. Maize (Zea mays L.) …

Under all environments, roots are important for plant anchorage and acquiring water and
nutrients. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding how root architecture contributes to …

Root phenotypes play profoundly important roles supporting plant growth and their adaptive
responses to myriad environmental stresses. For example, architecture‐scale traits such as …

Extensive lead (Pb) absorption by plants affects their growth and development and causes
damage to the human body by entering the food chain. In this study, we cloned ZmHIPP, a …
