Abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity are major environmental factors that limit crop
yields. Unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying abiotic stress resistance is crucial …

In nature, plants constantly have to face pathogen attacks. However, plant disease rarely
occurs due to efficient immune systems possessed by the host plants. Pathogens are …

Plants confront multifarious environmental stresses widely divided into abiotic and biotic
stresses, of which heavy metal stress represents one of the most damaging abiotic stresses …

The increase in environmental temperature due to global warming is a critical threat to plant
growth and productivity. Heat stress can cause impairment in several biochemical and …

Abiotic stresses have already exhibited the negative effects on crop growth and
development, thereby influencing crop quality and yield. Therefore, plants have developed …

Heat shock factors (HSFs) are principal regulators of plant responses to several abiotic
stresses. Here, we show that estradiol-dependent induction of HSFA4A confers enhanced …

The expression of CBF (C-repeat-binding factor) genes is required for freezing tolerance in
Arabidopsis thaliana. CBFs are positively regulated by INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION1 …

In the present study, Pe STZ 1, a cysteine‐2/histidine‐2‐type zinc finger transcription factor,
was isolated from the desert poplar, Populus euphratica, which serves as a model stress …

Abstract The cysteine2/histidine2-type zinc finger proteins are a large family of transcription
regulators, and some of them play essential roles in plant responses to biotic and abiotic …

Heavy metal (HM) accumulation in the agricultural soil and its toxicity is a major threat for
plant growth and development. HMs disrupt functional integrity of the plants, induces altered …
