Lignin is a complex polymer that is embedded in plant cell walls to provide physical support
and water protection. For these reasons, the production of lignin is closely linked with plant …

Since the roots are the very organ where plants first sense and respond drought stress, it is
of great importance to better understand root responses to drought. Yet the underlying …

In plants, MYB transcription factors play diverse roles in growth, development, and response
