As sessile species and without the possibility of escape, plants constantly face numerous
environmental stresses. To adapt in the external environmental cues, plants adjust …

Predicted increases in future global temperatures require us to better understand the
dimensions of heat stress experienced by plants. Here we highlight four key areas for …

Temperature influences the seasonal growth and geographical distribution of plants. Heat or
cold stress occur when temperatures exceed or fall below the physiological optimum ranges …

Increased temperatures caused by global warming threaten agricultural production, as
warmer conditions can inhibit plant growth and development or even destroy crops in …

Heat stress (HS) is becoming an increasingly significant problem for food security as global
warming progresses. Recent studies have elucidated the complex transcriptional regulatory …

Adaptive plasticity in stress responses is a key element of plant survival strategies. For
instance, moderate heat stress (HS) primes a plant to acquire thermotolerance, which allows …

Crop yield has been greatly enhanced during the last century. However, most elite cultivars
are adapted to temperate climates and are not well suited to more stressful conditions. In the …

The complex and dynamic three-dimensional organization of chromatin within the nucleus
makes understanding the control of gene expression challenging, but also opens up …

Abiotic stresses such as high temperature, salinity, and drought adversely affect the survival,
growth, and reproduction of plants. Plants respond to such unfavorable changes through …

In their natural environment, plants are exposed to biotic or abiotic stresses that occur
sequentially or simultaneously. Plant responses to these stresses have been studied widely …
