Overexpression of the vascular brassinosteroid receptor BRL3 confers drought resistance without penalizing plant growth

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Drought represents a major threat to food security. Mechanistic data describing plant responses to drought have been studied extensively and genes conferring drought resistance have been introduced into crop plants.

Single‐Cell Transcriptome Reveals Aquaporin‐Mediated Carbon Nanosol‐Induced Growth Promotion of Plants

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Carbon nanosol (CNS) exhibits rapid root penetration capacity, enhancing plant growth through boosting stomatal density and antioxidative enzyme activity. Single‐cell transcriptomic profiling uncovers cell type‐specific gene expression patterns and developmental trajectories during CNS‐mediated growth promotion.

A Generative AI‐Assisted Piezo‐MEMS Ultrasound Device for Plant Dehydration Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)‐compatible wearable piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducers (PMUTs) that sandwiches the leaf (PMUT–Leaf–PMUT, PLP) and employs generative artificial intelligence for real‐time analysis.

Identification and functional analyses of drought stress resistance genes by transcriptomics of the Mongolian grassland plant Chloris virgata

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Background Mongolian grasslands, including the Gobi Desert, have been exposed to drought conditions with few rains. In such harsh environments, plants with highly resistant abilities against drought stress survive over long periods.

Physiological characterization of drought stress response and expression of two transcription factors and two LEA genes in three Prunus genotypes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Global warming has led to a progressive decrease in rainfall, which is reflected by a reduction of water resources in the soil and a negative effect on crop production in Mediterranean areas.

Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as
