Brassinosteroids (BRs) induce plant tolerance to a wide spectrum of stresses. To study how
BR induces stress tolerance, we manipulated the BR levels in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) …

All‐solid‐state lithium metal battery is the most promising next‐generation energy storage
device. However, the low ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes and high interfacial impedance …

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) catalyzes the first step of the phenylpropanoid pathway,
which produces precursors to a variety of important secondary metabolites. Arabidopsis (…

The United Nations declared 2016 as the International Year of Pulses (grain legumes) under
the banner ‘nutritious seeds for a sustainable future’. A second green revolution is required …

As a consequence of a sessile lifestyle, plants are continuously exposed to changing
environmental conditions and often life-threatening stresses caused by exposure to excessive light, …

Biodegradable nanoparticles loaded with insulin–phospholipid complex were prepared by a
novel reverse micelle–solvent evaporation method, in which soybean phosphatidylcholine (…

To investigate the effects of exogenously applied brassinosteroids on the thermotolerance
of plants, leaf CO 2 assimilation, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and antioxidant …

Light quality is thought to affect many plant physiological processes during growth and
development, particularly photosynthesis. We examined how light quality influences plant …

Melatonin is a ubiquitous signal molecule, playing crucial roles in plant growth and stress
tolerance. Recently, toxic metal cadmium (Cd) has been reported to regulate melatonin …

Negative plant-soil feedbacks play an important role in soil sickness, which is one of the factors
limiting the sustainable development of intensive agriculture. Various factors, such as the …
