The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a central role in the regulation of stomatal
movements under water‐deficit conditions. The identification of ABA receptors and the ABA …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is known to confer stress tolerance; however, at elevated levels it
impairs plant growth under prolonged stress. Paradoxically, at its basal level, ABA plays …

Regulation of stomatal movement is critical for plant adaptation to environmental stresses.
The microtubule cytoskeleton undergoes disassembly, which is critical for stomatal closure …

Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) facilitates the supply of water, enabling continual CO2
uptake while maintaining plant water status. We hypothesized that bundle sheath and …

Drought is one of the major constraints limiting chickpea productivity. To unravel complex
mechanisms regulating drought response in chickpea, we generated transcriptomics …

Leaves of shade-avoiding plants such as Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) change their
growth pattern and position in response to low red to far-red ratios (LRFRs) encountered in …

Key message Interactions among phytohormones are essential for providing tolerance of
sorghum plants to aphids. Abstract Plant's encounter with insect herbivores trigger defense …

Balanced photosynthesis under drought is essential for better survival and for agricultural
benefits in terms of biomass and yield. Given the current attempts to improve the …

It is generally accepted that plants use the complex signaling system regulated by light and
abscisic acid (ABA) signaling components to optimize growth and development in different …

Functional traits have been defined as those that affect organismal performance, that is
growth and development, reproduction and survival, so they have been generally …
