Fruit ripening requires the coordinated expression of several genes. Fruit traits as post-harvest characters like color, aroma, softening, sugar content, and healthy compounds are very important for consumer...

Plant growth regulators are integral to a plethora of growth and developmental activities in plants. Jasmonate and its derivatives are plant growth regulators, endogenously produced by plants during growth a...

Non-pathogenic beneficial microbes are pivotal biological resources associated with plants across all different growth stages. They live with plants' above- (phyllosphere) or below-ground (rhizosphere) parts...

Recently discovered natural plant growth substances that have phytohormone-like regulatory roles are polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, spermine etc.), sugars (glucose, sucrose, trehalose etc.), neurotransm...

In order to grow, develop, reproduce and respond to the stress conditions, plants trigger a network of regulatory mechanisms including genetic or epi-genetic reprogramming of expression of key genes at trans...

Environmental conditions are drastically changing, which has a bearing on the global climate change impact, and this is posing new problems to all living creatures including the plant kingdom. As a result, t...
