Main conclusionMolecular function ofRING E3 ligase SbHCI1is involved in ABA-mediated basal heat stress tolerancein sorghum.AbstractGlobal warming generally reduces plant survival, owing to the negative effects of high temperatures on plant development. However, little is known about the role of Really Interesting New Gene (RING) E3 ligase in the he...

Main conclusionUVB radiation caused irradiance-dependent and target-specific responses in non-UVB acclimated Lemna minor. Conceptual toxicity pathways were developed to propose causal relationships between UVB-mediated effects at multiple levels of biological organisation.AbstractMacrophytes inhabit waterways around the world and are used in hydrop...

Main conclusionWe projected meta-QTL (MQTL) for drought, salinity, cold state, and high metal ion tolerance in rice using a meta-analysis based on high-density consensus maps. In addition, a genome-wide association analysis was used to validate the results of the meta-analysis, and four new chromosome intervals for mining abiotic stress candidate g...
