Evergreen conifers are champions of winter survival, based on their remarkable ability to
acclimate to cold and develop cold hardiness. Counterintuitively, autumn cold acclimation is …

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 …

Abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect the growth and productivity of plants and
constitute the major yield-limiting factor in agriculture. In recent years, several transcription …

Drought, high salinity and low temperature are major abiotic stresses that influence survival,
productivity and geographical distribution of many important crops across the globe. Plants …

This review deals with grapevine abscisic-acid (ABA) mediated responses to abiotic stress
by addressing stress consequences mainly on berry quality. Accumulation of secondary …

Several endophytic bacteria reportedly induce resistance to biotic stress and abiotic stress
tolerance in several plant species. Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJN is a plant-growth …

In higher plants, DREB1/CBF-type transcription factors play an important role in tolerance to
low temperatures, drought, and high-salt stress. These transcription factors bind to CRT/DRE …

Low, non-freezing temperatures and/or short daylength (SD) regulates cold acclimation and
dormancy in fruit trees. Regarding cold acclimation, C-repeat binding factor (CBF/DREB) …

Ethylene (ET) is a gaseous plant hormone that plays essential roles in biotic and abiotic
stress responses in plants. However, the role of ET in cold tolerance varies in different …

The timing of cold acclimation and deacclimation, dormancy, and budbreak play an integral
role in the life cycle of woody plants. The molecular events that regulate these parameters …
