Phytohormones regulate plant growth and development by integrating various internal
developmental cues with external environmental conditions. Jasmonic acid (JA) is an …

Rice is one of the most important food crops worldwide, as well as the model plant in
molecular studies on the cereals group. Many different biotic and abiotic agents often limit …

The NRAMP (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein) family of genes has been
widely characterized in organisms ranging from bacteria to yeast, plants, mice, and humans …

Abstract The JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) repressors are crucial proteins in jasmonic
acid signaling pathway that are critical for plant growth. Therefore, the present study aimed …

Seed size is one of the major determinants of seed weight and eventually, crop yield. As the
global population is increasing beyond the capacity of current food production, enhancing …

HIGHLIGHTS Overexpressing and RNA interfering OsDRAP1 transgenic rice plants
exhibited significantly improved and reduced drought tolerance, but accompanied with …

Phosphorus (P) deficiency limits plant growth and yield. Since plants can absorb only the
inorganic form of P (Pi), a large portion of soil P (organic and inorganic P complexes) …

Abstract Background The JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) repressor family proteins are
jasmonate co-receptors and transcriptional repressor in jasmonic acid (JA) signaling …

Key message Enhanced bioactive JA (JA-Ile) accumulation in OsJAZ9 overexpressing rice
helps plants tolerate K deficiency. Abstract Potassium (K) represents up to 10% of the plant's …

Abstract Background Cultivated flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is widely used for production of
textile, food, chemical and pharmaceutical products. However, various stresses decrease …
