Jasmonates (JAs) are plant hormones with essential roles in plant defense and
development. The basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF) MYC2 has recently …

Jasmonates (JAs) and abscisic acid (ABA) are phytohormones known play important roles in
plant response and adaptation to various abiotic stresses including salinity, drought …

AP2/ERF–type transcription factors regulate important functions of plant growth and
development as well as responses to environmental stimuli. A rice AP2/ERF transcription …

Background Glutamate is an active amino acid. In addition to protein synthesis and
metabolism, increasing evidence indicates that glutamate may also function as a signaling …

To defend against pathogens, plants have developed complex immune systems, including
plasma membrane receptors that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns, such …

Background The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors play important roles in diverse
cellular and molecular processes. Comparative functional genomics can provide powerful …

Wheat spike development is a coordinated process of cell proliferation and differentiation
with distinctive phases and architecture changes. However, the dynamic alteration of gene …

Background As a superfamily of transcription factors (TFs), the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)
