We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

Anthocyanin accumulation in plants plays important roles in plant growth and development,
as well as the response to environmental stresses. Anthocyanins have antioxidant …

Single-cell genomics technologies are ushering in a new research era. In this review, we
summarize the benefits and current challenges of using these technologies to probe the …

Acclimation of root growth is vital for plants to survive salt stress. Halophytes are great
examples of plants that thrive even under severe salinity, but their salt tolerance …

Understanding plant gene regulation has been a priority for generations of plant scientists.
However, due to its complex nature, the regulatory code governing plant gene expression …

In plants, epidermal guard cells integrate and respond to numerous environmental signals to
control stomatal pore apertures, thereby regulating gas exchange. Chromatin structure …

Aspirations for high crop growth and yield, nutritional quality and bioproduction of materials
are challenged by climate change and limited adoption of new technologies. Here, we …

The abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway is the key defense mechanism against drought
stress in plants. In the pathway, signal transduction among four core proteins, pyrabactin …

Calmodulin (CaM) and calmodulin-like (CML) proteins are major Ca2+ sensors involved in
the regulation of plant development and stress responses by converting Ca2+ signals into …

Abstract Model species continue to underpin groundbreaking plant science research. At the
same time, the phylogenetic resolution of the land plant tree of life continues to improve. The …
