As sessile organisms, plants must overcome various stresses. Accordingly, they have
evolved several plant-specific growth and developmental processes. These plant processes …

Episodes of heat waves combined with drought can have a devastating impact on
agricultural production worldwide. These conditions, as well as many other types of stress …

Despite the established significance of WRKY proteins and phenylpropanoid metabolism in
plant immunity, how WRKY proteins modulate aspects of the phenylpropanoid pathway …

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a biological indolamine. It is
biologically synthesized in plants and can be used to promote sustainable agriculture. This …

Background Drought stress has great negative effects on the plant growth and development.
The tolerance of plants to such abiotic stress is triggered by complicated and multilayered …

Plant cell walls are the first physical barrier against pathogen invasion, and plants thicken
the cell wall to strengthen it and restrain pathogen infection. Bacterial blight is a devastating …

WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in the growth and development of plants
and their response to environmental changes. WRKY TFs have been detected in sequenced …

Shade-intolerant plants rapidly elongate their stems, branches, and leaf stalks to compete
with neighboring vegetation, maximizing sunlight capture for photosynthesis. This rapid …

The MYB TF family is an immensely large and functionally diverse class of proteins involved
in the regulation of cell cycle, cell morphogenesis to stress signaling mechanism. The …

WRKY transcription factors play a nonnegligible role in plant growth and development, but
little is known about the involvement of WRKY transcription factors in the regulation of fruit …
