In this study, the physiological phenotyping, RNA sequencing, widely targeted metabolomics, and phytohormone profiling were used to examine the responses of maize seedlings to progressive PEG-induced osmotic stress and their recovery after PEG removal.
Cold stress negatively affects maize (Zea mays L.) growth, development and yield. Metabolic adjustments contribute to the adaptation of maize under cold stress. We show here that the transcription factor INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1 (ZmICE1) plays a prominent role in reprogramming amino a...
The intensity and frequency of precipitation events are predicted to change over the coming decades. For many areas, longer periods without rainfall are expected. We investigated the importance of irrigation frequency under water deficit conditions for growth, physiology and chemistry of wheat (<...
