Plants face a more volatile environment than other organisms because of their immobility,
and they have developed highly efficient mechanisms to adapt to stress conditions …

Abstract R2R3-MYB genes (R2R3-MYBs) form one of the largest transcription factor gene
families in the plant kingdom, with substantial structural and functional diversity. However …

The plant cuticle is the first physical barrier between land plants and their terrestrial
environment. It consists of the polyester scaffold cutin embedded and sealed with organic …

The plant cuticle is an extracellular hydrophobic layer that covers the aerial epidermis of all
land plants, providing protection against desiccation and external environmental stresses …

Very-long-chain fatty acids (ie, fatty acids with more than 18 carbon atoms; VLCFA) are
important molecules that play crucial physiological and structural roles in plants. VLCFA are …

Regulation of gene expression at the level of transcription controls many crucial biological
processes. Transcription factors (TFs) play a great role in controlling cellular processes and …

The MYB family of proteins is large, functionally diverse and represented in all eukaryotes.
Most MYB proteins function as transcription factors with varying numbers of MYB domain …

The aerial parts of plants are covered with a cuticle, a hydrophobic layer consisting of cutin
polyester and cuticular waxes that protects them from various environmental stresses …

Drought stress activates several defense responses in plants, such as stomatal closure,
maintenance of root water uptake, and synthesis of osmoprotectants. Accumulating …

Cuticular waxes and cutin form the cuticle, a hydrophobic layer covering the aerial surfaces
of land plants and acting as a protective barrier against environmental stresses. Very-long …
