The agricultural sector must produce resilient and climate-smart crops to meet the increasing
needs of global food production. Recent advancements in elucidating the mechanistic basis …

Global warming has increased the frequency of extreme high temperature events. High
temperature is a major abiotic stress that limits the growth and production of plants …

As sessile species and without the possibility of escape, plants constantly face numerous
environmental stresses. To adapt in the external environmental cues, plants adjust …

Methodological advances over the past two decades have propelled plant microbiome
research, allowing the field to comprehensively test ideas proposed over a century ago and …

Recurrent heat stress and pathogen invasion seriously threaten crop production, and abiotic
stress often antagonizes biotic stress response against pathogens. However, the molecular …

In the past four decades, tremendous progress has been made in understanding how plants
respond to microbial colonization and how microbial pathogens and symbionts reprogram …

Recent evidence sheds light on the peculiar type of plant intelligence. Plants have
developed complex molecular networks that allow them to remember, choose, and make …

Plants heat shock factors (HSFs) are encoded by large gene families with variable structure,
expression, and function. HSFs are components of complex signaling systems that control …

Many environmental conditions fluctuate and organisms need to respond effectively. This is
especially true for temperature cues that can change in minutes to seasons and often follow …

Acclimation to high temperature increases plants' tolerance of subsequent lethal high
temperatures. Although epigenetic regulation of plant gene expression is well studied, how …
