Plant trichomes, protrusions formed from specialized aboveground epidermal cells, provide
protection against various biotic and abiotic stresses. Trichomes can be unicellular …

Introduction: Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses that negatively
influence crop performance and productivity. Plants acclimatize to drought stress conditions …

Plant hormones can adjust the physiology and development of plants to enhance their
adaptation to biotic and abiotic challenges. Jasmonic acid (JA), one of the immunity …

Cuticular waxes play a crucial role not only in plant defense against biotic and abiotic
stresses, but also in the quality and storability of fruits, such as the tomato (Solanum …

Background The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) gene family is one of the plant-
specific transcription factor families, involved in plant development, growth, and in the …

Salt stress can seriously reduce crop yield and quality, causing huge economic losses.
