The optimization of crop response to climatic stress through modulation of plant stress response mechanisms. Opportunities for biostimulants and plant hormones to meet climate challenges.

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 130-151, January 2026.
Summary This review discusses the use of agronomic management practices to enhance crop stress resilience to climate stress through the modulation of natural plant growth regulatory pathways. The use of biostimulants or plant hormones to improve crop resilience is subject to strict regulatory oversight if changes in the regulation of plant growth are ...

Extending Freshness, Securing Safety: Integrated Strategies for Perishable Produce in Bangladesh

Future Postharvest and Food, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 478-487, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The recent increase in the world population, limited resources, and the need to store food for future use or transportation make it essential to improve shelf life. Food can be categorized into three types: highly perishable, semi‐perishable, and highly stable. Among these, extending the shelf life of highly perishable foods is a major concern

Functional characterization of a melon alcohol acyl-transferase gene family involved in the biosynthesis of ester volatiles. Identification of the crucial role of a threonine residue for enzyme activity [PDF]

, 2005
Volatile esters, a major class of compounds contributing to the aroma of many fruit, are synthesized by alcohol acyl-transferases (AAT). We demonstrate here that, in Charentais melon (Cucumis melo var.

Competition Binding of CmbHLH1L and CmNLP6/7L to CmbHLH63 Modulates Leaf Senescence in Chrysanthemum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 5456-5473, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Leaf senescence impacts the quality, productivity and post‐harvest performance of crops and ornamental plants. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing this process remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified CmbHLH63 as a ‘brake signal’ of leaf senescence in chrysanthemum and elucidated its critical regulatory role ...

An Ethylene‐Response Factor LlERF092 Coordinates With LlETO1 to Improve Thermotolerance by Activating LlMBF1c in Lily

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 4813-4828, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Multiprotein bridging factor 1c (MBF1c) has been shown to play a critical role in plant responses to heat stress. Previous studies have implicated MBF1c roles in ethylene‐mediated thermotolerance; however, the upstream regulatory mechanisms linking MBF1c to this process remain unclear. In this study, an ethylene‐response factor (ERF), LlERF092,
