In nature, plants are constantly affected by adverse conditions. Unlike animals, plants can resist these adverse stresses only by insisting on their original positions. Stress can be divided into biological stress and abiotic stress, abiotic stress d... Read More about The role of Salicylic acid signal in plant growth, development and abiotic stress.

Plant branching development plays an important role in plant morphogenesis (aboveground plant type), the number and angle of branches are important agronomic characters that determine crop plant type. Effective branches determine the number of panicl... Read More about Research progress and application of plant branching.

Understanding Hydrogen: Lessons to be learned from physical interactions between the inert gases and the globin superfamily (2022)
Journal Article

Hydrogen gas (molecular hydrogen, H2) has significant effects in a range of organisms, from plants to humans. Many inert gases have been reported to have similar effects, and such responses may be most pronounced when cells are stressed. Xenon (Xe),...

Featured Application: It is proposed here that the use of molecular hydrogen should be considered more widely for the treatment of post-harvest fruits, vegetables and flowers. This can be applied as a gas, or in solution, and costs associated with it... Read More about Molecular Hydrogen: The postharvest use in fruits, vegetables and the floriculture industry.

Chemical priming enhances plant tolerance to salt stress (2022)
Journal Article
Zulfiqar, F., Nafees, M., Chen, J., Darras, A., Ferrante, A., Hancock, J. T., …Siddique, K. H. (2022). Chemical priming enhances plant tolerance to salt stress. Frontiers in Plant Science, 13, 946922. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2022.946922

Salt stress severely limits the productivity of crop plants worldwide and its detrimental effects are aggravated by climate change. Due to a significant world population growth, agriculture has expanded to marginal and salinized regions, which usuall... Read More about Chemical priming enhances plant tolerance to salt stress.

Phytochrome B enhances seed germination tolerance to high temperature by reducing S-nitrosylation of HFR1 (2022)
Journal Article
Ying, S., Yang, W., Li, P., Hu, Y., Lu, S., Zhou, Y., …Hu, X. (2022). Phytochrome B enhances seed germination tolerance to high temperature by reducing S-nitrosylation of HFR1. EMBO Reports, Article e54371. https://doi.org/10.15252/embr.202154371

Light and ambient high temperature (HT) have opposite effects on seed germination. Light induces seed germination through activating the photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB), resulting in the stabilization of the transcription factor HFR1, which in tur...
