Transcription factors (TFs) have important regulatory roles in processes such as plant
growth, development, ripening and defense responses to adversity. In recent years, an …

With the frequent occurrence of extreme weather such as typhoons and rainstorms,
waterlogging has become one of the most important threats to global crop growth and …

Root architecture is an important agronomic trait that plays an essential role in water uptake,
soil compactions, nutrient recycling, plant–microbe interactions, and hormone-mediated …

Beyond their function as structural barriers, plant cell walls are essential elements for the
adaptation of plants to environmental conditions. Cell walls are dynamic structures whose …

To challenge the invasion of various pathogens, plants re‐direct their resources from plant
growth to an innate immune defence system. However, the underlying mechanism that …

PAMP-induced secreted peptide (PIP), one of the small post-translationally modified
peptides (PTMPs), plays a crucial role in plant development and stress tolerance. However …

Climate change is increasing the stresses on crops, resulting in reduced productivity and
further augmenting global food security issues. The dynamic climatic conditions are a severe …

Plant AT-rich sequence and zinc-binding (PLATZ) proteins are plant-specific transcription
factors involved in growth, development, and stress responses. Here, we conducted a …

Cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels (CNGCs) remain poorly studied in crop plants, most of
which are polyploid. In allotetraploid Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), silencing …

Phytopathogen cell wall polysaccharides have important physiological functions. In this
study, we isolated and characterized the alkali-insoluble residue on the inner layers of the …
