Salt stress is a major abiotic constraint that affects plant growth, development and productivity on a global scale. Plants have evolved a range of adaptive mechanisms—from maintaining ion homeostasis ...

In the context of escalating environmental challenges and agricultural demands, understanding how plants respond and adapt to stress has never been more ...

Melatonin is emerging as a pivotal molecule in plant physiology, acting both as an antioxidant and a regulatory signal. Its capacity to mitigate oxidative stress plays a crucial role in protecting ...

Scientists have identified genes that allow plants to pause root growth during environmental stress and restart it when conditions improve.

Manipulating the content of carotenoids, such as ß-carotene, has been found to improve plant growth and increase yield and tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity. Within ...

The field of plant biotechnology has quickly evolved with the advent of CRISPR-mediated gene editing, fundamentally transforming the exploration and ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to these stressors is essential for stress tolerance in crops," said corresponding author Hidemasa Bono, professor in the Laboratory ...

Plants pause their growth during stress, then press play when conditions improve, helping them recover and live on to produce food, according to a new study. Published today in New Phytologist UBC ...

Mangrove trees straddle the boundary between land and ocean, in harsh environments characterized by rapidly changing levels of salinity and low oxygen. For most plants, these conditions would mark a ...
