Several entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) species can colonize and establish symbiotic relationships with plants as endophytes, which affects crop growth under elevated carbon dioxide (eCO₂) concentrations. However, how EPF facilitates plants under eCO2 is poorly understood, especially at the transcri...
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.
Jasmonic and salicylic acids are the major hormones involved in plant response to pests and pathogens. Non-invasive imaging of these hormones at the tissue and whole-organism levels has remained challenging. Here, we engineer autoluminescent plants that report activity of salicylic and jasmonic a...
Increasing soil salinization poses a severe threat to global agricultural production. Quercetin, a natural compound known to effectively alleviate abiotic stress, has an unclear molecular regulatory mechanism in enhancing soybean salt tolerance. To investigate its mechanism of action, this study ...
