Crop microbiome responses to pathogen colonisation regulate the host plant defence
AimsSoil-borne pathogens severely damage the yield and quality of crops worldwide. Plant and soil microbiomes (e.g. in the rhizosphere) intimately...
-
Plant hormone regulation of abiotic stress responses
Plant hormones are signalling compounds that regulate crucial aspects of growth, development and environmental stress responses. Abiotic stresses,...
-
Different responses of herbivore abundance to plant genotypic diversity depending on herbivore host specificity
Key messageThe response of herbivore abundance to birch genotypic diversity varies depending on the host specificity of the herbivores. Specialist,...

Precipitation and plant functional composition mediate desert canopy nutrient responses to water and nitrogen addition
Background and aimsPlant nutrients play a fundamental role in regulating ecosystem functioning and are sensitive to global changes such as...
-
Infrared imaging indices for genotype screening in plant drought responses
The crucial obstacle in the research of plant science is to distinguish between superior genotypes and its selection. Machine vision can recognize...

Gibberellic Acid: A Versatile Regulator of Plant Growth, Development and Stress Responses
The global agricultural system has been badly affected by adverse environmental changes in the past few years. These changes, including the rise of...
-
Molecular Regulation of Plant Responses to Shade
In sun-loving plants, detection of the proximity of nearby competitors triggers a set of responses known as the shade-avoidance syndrome (SAS). These...

Exploring Regulatory Roles of Plant Thylakoid-Bound Proteins Involved in Abiotic Stress Responses
Abiotic stress is triggered by unfavorable environments such as drought, severe heat, heavy metals, soil saturation, high-intensity light, and high...

Linking whole-plant responses to cell physiology in glycophytes exposed to NaCl stress
The responses of glycophytic plants to NaCl stress have been well documented and include rapid decreases in root water flux, transpiration,...

Plant Responses to Hypoxia Stress: Signalling Cascades and Regulatory Mechanisms
Floods leading to waterlogged soil and submerged plants are one of the major abiotic stresses affecting plants across the globe. Extended time of...

Assessing phosphorus availability in paddy soils: the importance of integrating soil tests and plant responses
Phosphorus (P) cycling in paddy soil is closely related to iron (Fe) redox wheel; its availability to rice has thus generally been ascribed to Fe...
-
Liquid-liquid phase separation as a major mechanism of plant abiotic stress sensing and responses
Identification of environmental stress sensors is one of the most important research topics in plant abiotic stress research. Traditional strategies...
-
Plant responses to concurrent abiotic and biotic stress: unravelling physiological and morphological mechanisms
With the increasing impact of climate change and global warming, not only abiotic stress factors have gained prominence, but their influence on...
