Apart from water availability, low temperature is the most important environmental factor
limiting the productivity and geographical distribution of plants across the world. To cope …

Proteins that bind both DNA and RNA typify the ability of a single gene product to perform
multiple functions. Such DNA-and RNA-binding proteins (DRBPs) have unique functional …

Plants respond with changes in their pattern of gene expression and protein products when
exposed to low temperatures. Thus ability to adapt has an impact on the distribution and …

Protein–RNA interactions have crucial roles in various cellular activities, which, when
dysregulated, can lead to a range of human diseases. The identification of small molecules …

Exposure to low temperatures is one of the most important plant abiotic stress factors. In this
review we describe the damages that chilling and/or freezing temperatures can cause to …

Temperature influences the structural and functional properties of cellular components,
necessitating stress responses to restore homeostasis following temperature shift. Whereas …

Among different environmental stresses, cold stress can significantly affect plant's
physiological activity, biochemical metabolism, growth, development and crop productivity …

Limited available water is the single most important factor that reduces global crop yields,
with far reaching socioeconomic implications. In North America alone, it is estimated that …

Temperate plants are capable of developing freezing tolerance when they are exposed to
low nonfreezing temperatures. Acquired freezing tolerance involves extensive …

The first plant glycine–rich proteins (GRPs) have been isolated more than 20 years ago
based on their specific expression pattern and/or modulation by several biotic and abiotic …
