Plants are challenged with numerous abiotic stresses, such as drought, cold, heat, and salt
stress. These environmental stresses are major causes of crop failure and reduced yields …

The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is a selective RNA-binding protein implicated
in regulating translation of its mRNA ligands. The absence of FMRP results in fragile X …

SNF 1-RELATED PROTEIN KINASE 2 (SnRK2) is a family of plant-specific protein kinases
which is the key regulator of hyper-osmotic stress signaling and abscisic acid (ABA)-…

The WRKY transcription factors have been demonstrated to play crucial roles in regulating
stress responses; however, the exact mechanisms underlying their involvement in stress …

Melatonin has diverse functions in plant development and stress tolerance, with recent
evidence showing a beneficial role in plant biotic stress tolerance. It has been hypothesized that …

In plants, photoperiod is an important cue for determining flowering. The floral transition in
Arabidopsis thaliana is earlier under long-day (LD) than under short-day (SD) conditions. …

As sessile organisms, plants must overcome various stresses. Accordingly, they have evolved
several plant-specific growth and developmental processes. These plant processes may …

Seed germination, an important developmental stage in the life cycle of seed plants, is
regulated by complex signals. Melatonin is a signaling molecule associated with seed …

The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is a selective RNA-binding protein whose
function is implicated in regulating protein synthesis of its mRNA targets. The lack of FMRP …

Gibberellin ( GA ) and photoperiod pathways have recently been demonstrated to collaboratively
modulate flowering under long days ( LDs ). However, the molecular mechanisms …
