Jasmonic acid (JA) is well known to promote lateral root formation but the mechanisms by
which JA signalling is integrated into the pathways responsible for lateral root formation, and …

Plants are major sulfur reducers in the global sulfur cycle. Sulfate, the major natural sulfur
source in soil, is absorbed by plant roots and transported into plastids, where it is reduced and …

Plants play a prominent role as sulfur reducers in the global sulfur cycle. Sulfate, the major
form of inorganic sulfur utilized by plants, is absorbed and transported by specific sulfate …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for crop growth and yield. Improving the N use
efficiency (NUE) of crops is important to agriculture. However, the molecular mechanisms …

As sessile organisms, plants must be highly adaptable to the changing environment by
modifying their growth and development. Plants rely on their underground part, the root system, …

Drought is one of the most important environmental constraints limiting plant growth and
agricultural productivity. To understand the underlying mechanism of drought tolerance and to …

Bio‐water saving is to increase water use efficiency of crops or crop yield per unit of water
input. Plant water use efficiency is determined by photosynthesis and transpiration, for both of …

Many stress responsive genes have been reported with an effect on improving stress
resistance in model plants under greenhouse conditions. Towards identification of genes for …

Paraquat (PQ) is the third most used broad-spectrum nonselective herbicide around the
globe after glyphosate and glufosinate. Repeated usage and overreliance on this herbicide …

Drought and salinity are two major environmental factors limiting crop production worldwide.
Improvement of drought and salt tolerance of crops with transgenic approach is an effective …
