Phytohormones are ubiquitously involved in plant biological processes and regulate cellular
signaling pertaining to unheralded environmental cues, such as salinity, drought, extreme …

Stomata are crucial valves coordinating the fixation of carbon dioxide by photosynthesis and
water loss through leaf transpiration. Phytochrome interacting factors (PIFs) are negative …

NAC transcription factors (TFs) play an important role in the plant resistant response to biotic
and abiotic stresses. However, the functions of the most NAC TFs are still unknown …

Water‐saving and drought‐resistant rice (WDR) coupled with alternate wetting and drying
irrigation (AWDI) possesses a high photosynthetic potential due to higher mesophyll …

Drought is a serious limiting factor to rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in Malaysia, and
becoming a more significant issue with respect to the global climate change. This study …

Auxin receptor plays a significant role in the plant auxin signalling pathway in response to
abiotic stress. Recently, we found that transgenic rice overexpressing ABP57 had higher …

The production of drought-tolerant rice varieties in Malaysia and the information regarding
the response of local varieties to water stress are still lacking. Therefore, this experiment was …

Environmental stress can hinder the growth and development of crops, thereby reducing
productivity. Plants can adapt to changing environments through various morpho …

Water scarcity causes millions of ringgits loses in Malaysia from 2017 to 2021 in vast area of
rice fields. Development of drought tolerant variety is vital as most Malaysian rice varieties …

Abstract Auxin Binding Protein 57 (ABP57) is one of the molecular components involved in
rice response to abiotic stress. The ABP57 gene encodes an auxin receptor which functions …
