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

Cold stress has always been a significant limitation for plant development and causes
substantial decreases in crop yield. Some temperate plants, such as Arabidopsis, have the …

This article focuses on the molecular and hormonal mechanisms underlying the control of
fleshy fruit ripening and quality. Recent research on tomato shows that ethylene, acting …

Plants are sessile organisms that need to adapt to constantly changing environmental
conditions. Unpredictable climate change places plants under a variety of abiotic stresses …

Chromatin regulation is essential to regulate genes and genome activities. In plants, the
alteration of histone modification and DNA methylation are coordinated with changes in the …

The ability of plants to cope with abiotic environmental stresses such as drought, salinity,
heat, cold or flooding relies on flexible mechanisms for re-programming gene expression …

Highlights•Stress response in plants involves chromatin re-organization.•This includes
changes in nuclear structure, histone variants, chaperones, and modifications.•Chromatin …

Background Rice plants show yellowing, stunting, withering, reduced tillering and utimately
low productivity in susceptible varieties under low temperature stress. Comparative …

In nature, plants are often subjected to periods of recurrent environmental stress that can
strongly affect their development and productivity. To cope with these conditions, plants can …

In response to abiotic stresses, plants mount comprehensive stress-specific responses
which mediate signal transduction cascades, transcription of relevant responsive genes and …
