Eukaryotic genomes encode thousands of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which play crucial
roles in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Accumulating …

Plant growth and development are greatly affected by the environment. Many genes have
been identified to be involved in regulating plant development and adaption of abiotic stress …

Abiotic stresses are responsible for the major losses in crop yield all over the world. Stresses
generate harmful ROS which can impair cellular processes in plants. Therefore, plants have …

Plants have evolved diverse molecular mechanisms that enable them to respond to a wide
range of pathogens. It has become clear that microRNAs, a class of short single-stranded …

Biotic stresses threaten to destabilize global food security and cause major losses to crop
yield worldwide. In response to pest and pathogen attacks, plants trigger many adaptive …

Drought stress causes changes in the morphological, physiological, biochemical and
molecular characteristics of plants. The response to drought in different plants may vary from …

Highlights•Response of rice WRKY genes to biotic and abiotic stresses.•Global view of the
WRKY transcriptional, posttranscriptional and posttranslational regulatory network.•WRKYs …

Salinity, as a major environmental stressor, limits plant growth, development, and crop yield
remarkably. However, plants evolve their own defense systems in response to salt stress …

Background Specific detection of the type and severity of plant abiotic stresses helps prevent
yield loss by considering timely actions. This study introduces a novel method to detect the …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), known as a kind of non-coding RNA, can negatively regulate its
target genes. To date, the roles of various miRNAs in plant development and resistance to …
