Salinity does not only stress plants but also challenges human life and the economy by posing
severe constraints upon agriculture. To understand salt adaptation strategies of plants, it …

Plant microtubules, in addition to their role in cell division and axial cell expansion, convey
a sensory function that is relevant for the perception of mechanical membrane stress and its …

Present and future food security is a critical issue compounded by the consequences of
climate change on agriculture. Stress perception and signal transduction in plants causes …

During exponential phase, the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cell line cv Virginia Bright Italia-0
divides axially to produce linear cell files of distinct polarity. This axial division is controlled …

Salinity stress represents a global constraint for rice, the most important staple food
worldwide. Therefore the role of the central stress signal jasmonate for the salt response was …

We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated and wild
accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove the separation of wild grape …

Cold acclimation was followed in three cultivars of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that
differ in freezing tolerance, using root growth as the indicator. During acclimation (followed …

Understanding the Vitis species at the genomic level is important for cultivar improvement of
grapevine. Here we report whole-genome genetic variation at single-base resolution of 472 …

Two photomorphogenic mutants of rice, coleoptile photomorphogenesis 2 (cpm2) and hebiba,
were found to be defective in the gene encoding allene oxide cyclase (Os AOC ) by map‐…

Salt stress is a major constraint for many crop plants, such as the moderately salt-sensitive
economically important fruit crop grapevine. Plants have evolved different strategies for …
