Heat stress is a primary environmental constraint on chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) productivity and fruit quality across global agricultural systems. Elevated temperatures adversely affect plant g...

Heat stress is a major abiotic stress that limits alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) productivity. To test whether cytokinin-overexpressing engineered rhizobia could enhance heat tolerance, we inoculated a...

Real-time monitoring of plant stress responses is essential for precision agriculture. Here, the authors report a ratiometric near-infrared IIb (NIR-IIb) fluorescent probe that enables sensitive detec...

Main conclusion A scion-based stress memory signal, which was derived from drought-primed potato plants, was transmitted to new potato plants generated through vegetative reproduction. This affected p...

Abstract. Ethylene (ET) functions as a central integrator of plant responses to drought and heat stress by linking hormone signaling, metabolism, and chrom

The histone deacetylase TaHDA1 is a key regulator linking histone and non-histone deacetylation with drought adaptation and a potential target for improving drought resilience and grain nutritional q....
