Abstract:
... The ability to predict future risks is essential for many organisms, including plants. Plants can gather information about potential future herbivory by detecting volatiles that are emitted by herbivore‐attacked neighbors. Several individual volatiles have been identified as active danger cues. Recent work has also shown that plants may integrate multiple volatiles into their defense responses. He ...

Abstract:
... The plant immune system has been explored essentially through the study of qualitative resistance, a simple form of immunity, and from a reductionist point of view. The recent identification of genes conferring quantitative disease resistance revealed a large array of functions, suggesting more complex mechanisms. In addition, thanks to the advent of high‐throughput analyses and system approaches, ...

Abstract:
... Interaction between plants and their microbiota is a central theme to understand adaptation of plants to their environment. Considering herbaria as repositories of holobionts that preserved traces of ancient plant-associated microbial communities, we propose to explore these historical collections to evaluate the impact of long-lasting global changes on plant–microbiota interactions. ...

Abstract:
... MAIN CONCLUSION: Peptide-receptor complexes activate distinct downstream regulatory networks to mediate plant adaptions to abiotic environmental stress. Plants are constantly exposed to various adverse environmental factors; thus they must adjust their growth accordingly. Plants recruit small secretory peptides to adapt to these detrimental environments. These small peptides, which are perceived b ...
... Soil is a vital resource for feeding the burgeoning global population, and it is also essential for realizing most of the ‘United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)’. For example, it is vital to realizing the ‘Zero hunger (SDG2), Good health and well‐being (SDG3), Clean water and sanitation (SDG6), and Life on land (SDG15)’. Excess salts present in the soil make it saline, and it poses a ...

Abstract:
... Drought is the main limiting factor of maize productivity, therefore improving drought tolerance in maize has potential practical importance. Cloning and functional verification of drought–tolerant genes is of great importance to understand molecular mechanisms under drought stress. Here, we employed a bioinformatic pipeline to identify 42 ZmHDZ drought responsive genes using previously reported m ...
... The superior properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has resulted in their broad utilization worldwide, but also the risk of irreversible environment infestation. The plant cuticle and cell wall can trap a large part of the nanoparticles and thus protect the internal cell structures, where the cytoskeleton, for example, reacts very quickly to the threat, and defense signaling is subsequently tr ...

Abstract:
... Stomata play a central role in plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Existing knowledge regarding the roles of stomata in plant stress is centered on abiotic stresses and plant–pathogen interactions, but how stomata influence plant–herbivore interactions remains largely unclear. Here, we summarize the functions of stomata in plant–insect interactions and highlight recent discoveries of h ...
... The potential yield of improved maize varieties usually cannot be fully realised mainly due to inappropriate soil nutrient management practices in most parts of Ethiopia. Site-specific fertiliser recommendations are rarely used in the farming systems of Ethiopia. There is also a lack of data to develop or validate decision support tools for targeting specific crop production. A study was conducted ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: A review of research shows that methylation in plants is more complex and sophisticated than in microorganisms and animals. Overall, studies on the effects of abiotic stress on epigenetic modifications in plants are still scarce and limited to few species. Epigenetic regulation of plant responses to environmental stresses has not been elucidated. This study summarizes key effects of ab ...
... RAV (Related to ABI3/VP1) transcription factors play vital roles in regulating plant response to abiotic stresses; however, the regulatory mechanisms underlying stress response are still poorly understood for most of the RAVgenes. In this study, a novel gene BpRAV1 was cloned from white birch (Betula platyphylla). BpRAV1 protein is localized in the nucleus and serves as a transcriptional activator ...

Abstract:
... The 14-3-3 proteins widely exist in almost all plant species. They specifically recognize and interact with phosphorylated target proteins, including protein kinases, phosphatases, transcription factors and functional proteins, offering an array of opportunities for 14-3-3s to participate in the signal transduction processes. 14-3-3s are multigene families and can form homo- and heterodimers, whic ...

Abstract:
... Due to the economic importance of strawberry, many countries have established national breeding programs aimed at improving the flowering time and fruiting season to achieve year-round fruit availability. The ability of crops to produce fruits throughout the year with “flowering on command” is still a challenge in strawberry production systems. Although growth promotion by dark septate endophytic ...
... Apple replant disease (ARD) is a common problem, which occurs in all major apple-growing regions worldwide. It hinders the growth of apple trees and reduces apple yield and quality. Besides, ARD has substantially impeded the development of the apple industry. Fusarium solani, a soil-borne pathogen, is the causative agent of ARD. WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play a crucial role in plant respons ...

Abstract:
... Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns will affect agricultural production substantially, exposing crops to extended and more intense periods of stress. Therefore, breeding of varieties adapted to the constantly changing conditions is pivotal to enable a quantitatively and qualitatively adequate crop production despite the negative effects of climate change. As it is not yet possi ...
... The role of jasmonates (JAs) in primary root growth and development and in plant response to external stimuli is already known. However, its role in lateral root (LR) development remains to be explored. Our work identified methyl jasmonate (MeJA) as a key phytohormone in determining the branching angle of Arabidopsis LRs. MeJA inclines the LRs to a more vertical orientation, which was dependent on ...
... Nitric oxide (NO), as a redox molecule, played important role in plant response to environmental stress. Here, we found that loss of tomato S-Nitrosoglutathione reductase (SlGSNOR), a critical regulator of NO balance, led to global sensitivity to heat, salt, bicarbonate, and paraquat stresses in tomato, suggesting that SlGSNOR was a positive regulator in tomato against abiotic stresses. In additio ...

Abstract:
... MAIN CONCLUSION: Droughts negatively affect sorghum’s productivity and nutritional quality. Across its diversity centers, however, there exist resilient genotypes that function differently under drought stress at various levels, including molecular and physiological. Sorghum is an economically important and a staple food crop for over half a billion people in developing countries, mostly in arid a ...

Abstract:
... Moonlight is the connecting link between living processes and the lunar cycle, suggesting that its elimination can seriously weaken the biological effect of the lunar cycle. Cloud cover, especially its lower level, effectively absorbs moonlight under natural conditions. However, it is unclear how this process affects the sensitivity of plants to the lunar cycle. To address this, I analyzed the cha ...
