Salinity stress is considered the most devastating abiotic stress for crop productivity.
Accumulating different types of soluble proteins has evolved as a vital strategy that plays a …

The plant cell wall has a diversity of functions. It provides a structural framework to support
plant growth and acts as the first line of defense when the plant encounters pathogens. The …

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 …

Crop productivity is directly dependent on the growth and development of plants and their
adaptation during different environmental stresses. Histone acetylation is an epigenetic …

The root growth of most crop plants is inhibited by soil salinity. Roots respond by modulating
metabolism, gene expression and protein activity, which results in changes in cell wall …

Crop yields must increase to meet the demands of a growing world population. Soil
salinization is increasing due to the impacts of climate change, reducing the area of arable …

Heavy metal contamination of agricultural fields has become a global concern as it causes a
direct impact on human health. Rice is the major food crop for almost half of the world …

Heat stress (HS) is expected to be of increasing worldwide concern in the near future,
especially with regard to crop yield and quality as a consequence of rising or varying …
