Diverse abiotic and biotic stresses have marked effects on plant growth and productivity. To
combat such stresses, plants have evolved complex but not well understood responses …

Soil temperature influences crop growth and quality under field and greenhouse conditions;
however, precise investigation using controlled cultivation systems is largely lacking. We …

Carbon dioxide is an omnipresent gas that drives adaptive responses within organisms from
all domains of life. The molecular mechanisms by which proteins serve as sensors of CO2 …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) ssp. indica is the most cultivated species in the South of Brazil.
However, these plants face low temperature stress from September to November, which is …

Background Cold stress is the main factor that reduces rice yield in subtropical areas,
especially at the seedling stage. Most of the current studies on cold stress focus the …

Cold stress during the reproductive stage causes spikelet sterility and limits rice productivity
in high-altitude and high-latitude regions. In higher plants, phytohormones regulate root and …

Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, a traditional ethnic medicinal herb, is a rare broad-leaved
evergreen shrub in the arid region of central Asia that can survive under extremely low …

In the rapidly growing economies of Asia and Oceania, food security has become a primary
concern. With the rising population, growing more food at affordable prices is becoming …

Cell surface N-glycoproteins play extraordinarily important roles in cell–cell communication,
cell–matrix interactions, and cellular response to environmental cues. Global analysis is …

Substantial reductions in yield caused by drought stress can occur when parts of the root
system experience water deficit even though other parts have sufficient access to soil water …
