Reconstruction of the raffinose family oligosaccharide pathway in maize improves heat stress tolerance - Stress Biology
Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), primarily raffinose and stachyose, are crucial for plant abiotic stress tolerance. Raffinose is synthesized by RAFFINOSE SYNTHASE (RAFS) from galactinol and s...

The transcription factor SbbHLH168 enhances salt tolerance by coordinating ion homeostasis and lignin content in sorghum - Stress Biology
Soil salinization is an escalating global threat to crop productivity. Here, we demonstrate that the sorghum bHLH transcription factor SbbHLH168 is a central regulator of salt-stress tolerance. SbbHLH...
