Plants need to cope with complex environments throughout their life cycle. Abiotic stresses,
including drought, cold, salt and heat, can cause a reduction in plant growth and loss of crop …

Reversible protein phosphorylation orchestrated by protein kinases and phosphatases is a
major regulatory event in plants and animals. The SnRK2 subfamily consists of plant-specific …

Background Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in abiotic stress responses. The
pyrabactin resistance (PYR)/PYR-like (PYL)/regulatory component of ABA receptor (RCAR) …

Water deficit is one of the major factors limiting crop productivity worldwide. Plant roots play
a key role in uptaking water, perceiving and transducing of water deficit signals to shoot …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in various aspects of plant growth and development,
including fruit development and ripening, seed dormancy, and involvement in response to …

Continuous discoveries in plant and crop physiology have resulted in an abundance of new
information since the publication of the second edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop …

Abstract Phloridzin (phloretin 2′-O-glucoside) is the most abundant phenolic compound in
Malus species, accounting for up to 18% of the dry weight in leaves. Glycosylation of …

PYR/PYL/RCAR proteins are abscisic acid (ABA) receptors that play a crucial role in plant
responses to abiotic stresses. However, there have been no research reports on potato PYL …

Abstract Sucrose non-fermenting-1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) constitutes a small
plant-specific serine/threonine kinase family with essential roles in the abscisic acid (ABA) …

Bamboo is a typical fast-growing non-timber bioresource in tropical and subtropical forests,
yet its vulnerability to drought is one of the facing difficulties in commercial cultivation. The …
