Zygnematophytes are the closest algal relatives of land plants. They hold key information to infer how the earliest land plants overcame the barrage of terrestrial stressors, prime of which is osmotic stress. Here, we applied two osmotic stressors on a unicellular and a multicellular representati...

Cryptomeria fortunei growth and development are usually affected by low temperatures. Despite the evergreen nature of this species, most needles turn yellowish-brown in cold winters. The underlying discoloration mechanisms that cause this phenomenon in response to cold acclimation remain...

In plants, exposure to high light irradiation induces various stress responses, which entail complex metabolic rearrangements. To explore these dynamics, we conducted time-course experiments spanning 2 minutes to 72 hours with Arabidopsis thaliana under high and control light. Comparative metabol...

Temperature, water and light are 3 abiotic stress factors that have major influences on plant growth, development and reproduction. Plants can be primed by a prior mild stress to enhance their resistance to future stress. We used an untargeted metabolomics approach to examine Arabidopsis thal...
