The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a pivotal role in a variety of developmental
processes and adaptive stress responses to environmental stimuli in plants. Cellular …

Plant growth and productivity are greatly affected by environmental stresses such as
drought, high salinity, and low temperature. Expression of a variety of genes is induced by …

Plant‐derived Vitamin C (l‐ascorbic acid (AsA)) is crucial for human health and wellbeing
and thus increasing AsA content is of interest to plant breeders. In plants GDP‐l‐galactose …

Advances in the flavonoid field have been nothing short of spectacular over the last 20
years. While the medical field has noticed flavonoids for their potential antioxidant …

The induction of the dehydration-responsive Arabidopsis gene, rd29B, is mediated mainly
by abscisic acid (ABA). Promoter analysis of rd29B indicated that two ABA-responsive …

cis-Acting regulatory elements are important molecular switches involved in the
transcriptional regulation of a dynamic network of gene activities controlling various …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in environmental stress responses of higher
plants during vegetative growth. One of the ABA-mediated responses is the induced …

Basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) belong to a family of transcriptional
regulators present in three eukaryotic kingdoms. Many different functions have been …

To determine if damage to foliage by biotic agents, including arthropods, fungi, bacteria and
viral pathogens, universally downregulates the expression of genes involved in …

Land plants suffer from dehydration or water stress not only under drought and high-salt-
concentration conditions but also under low-temperature conditions. They respond and …
