Plants are able to sense and remember heat stress.An initial priming heat stress enables plants to acclimate so that they are able to survive a subsequent higher temperature.The heat shock transcription factors(HSFs)p...

It has been hypothesized that DNA damage has the potential to induce DNA hypermethylation,contributing to carcinogenesis in mammals.However,there is no sufficient evidence to support that DNA damage can cause genome-w...

Activities of the chloroplasts and nucleus are coordinated by retrograde signaling,which play crucial roles in plant development and environmental adaptation.However,the connection between chloroplast status and nucle...

Plants exploit phenotypic plasticity to adapt their growth and development to prevailing environmental conditions.Interpretation of light and temperature signals is aided by the circadian system,which provides a tempo...
Human beings live in a world defined by daily cycles of light and darkness caused by the Earth’s rotation around its axis.Plants,like most living organisms,have evolved internal circadian clocks that time biological ...
