Abiotic stress is a primary threat to fulfill the demand of agricultural production to feed the
world in coming decades. Plants reduce growth and development process during stress …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) modules play key roles in the transduction of
environmental and developmental signals through phosphorylation of downstream signaling …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPK) cascades play vital roles in plant innate immunity,
growth, and development. Here, we report that the rice (Oryza sativa) transcription factor …

Grain number and size are interactive agronomic traits that determine grain yield. However,
the molecular mechanisms responsible for coordinating the trade-off between these traits …

Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.), one of the most agronomically important crops, supplies
staple food for more than half of the world's population, especially those living in developing …

Biotrophic invasive hyphae (IH) of the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae secrete effectors to
alter host defenses and cellular processes as they successively invade living rice (Oryza …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses are mutualistic associations between soil fungi and
most vascular plants. Their association benefits the host plant by improving nutrition, mainly …

C2H2-type zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) have been shown to play important roles in the
responses of plants to oxidative and abiotic stresses, and different members of this family …

Crop plants are vulnerable to various biotic and abiotic stresses, whereas plants tend to
retain their physiological mechanisms by evolving cellular regulation. To mitigate the …

Biotic and abiotic stresses impose a serious limitation on crop productivity worldwide. Prior
or simultaneous exposure to one type of stress often affects the plant response to other …
