The responses of C3 plants to rising atmospheric CO2 levels are considered to be largely dependent on effects exerted through altered photosynthesis. In contrast, the nature of the responses of C4 plants to high CO2 remains ...

Drought is considered to be a major threat to soybean production worldwide and yet our current understanding of the effects of drought on soybean productively is largely based on studies on above-ground traits. Although ...

Ectopic cystatin expression has long been used in plant pest management but the cysteine protease targets of these inhibitors might also have important functions in the control of plant lifespan and stress tolerance that ...

Reduced glutathione (GSH) is an abundant low molecular weight plant thiol. It fulfills multiple functions in plantbiology, many of which remain poorly characterized. Aphenomics approach was therefore used to investigate ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS : Water is an increasingly scarce resource that limits crop productivity in many parts of the world, and the frequency and severity of drought are predicted to increase as a result of climate change. ...
