Plant breeders require access to new genetic diversity to satisfy the demands of a growing
human population for more food that can be produced in a variable or changing climate and …

Cold stress responses in plants are highly sophisticated events that alter the biochemical
composition of cells for protection from damage caused by low temperatures. In addition …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe, chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease
associated with memory and cognition impairment ultimately leading to death. It is the …

Cultivated grapevine (Vitis) is a highly valued horticultural crop, and cold stress affects its
growth and productivity. Wild Amur grape (Vitis amurensis) PAT1 (Phytochrome A signal …

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

Seed plants are sessile organisms that have developed a plethora of strategies for sensing,
avoiding, and responding to stress. Several proteins, including the glycine-rich protein …

Background WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional
regulators in plants. WRKY genes are not only found to play significant roles in biotic and …

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 …

Cold stress is a major limiting factor in grape (Vitis) productivity. In this study, we
characterized a cold‐responsive ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factor, Va ERF …

Background Grape production in continental climatic regions suffers from the combination of
drought and cold stresses during winter. Developing a reliable system to simulate combined …
