The central role of transcription factors in bridging biotic and abiotic stress responses for plants’ resilience

Fei Liu, Mengwei Xi, Tong Liu et al. · 18 Nov 2023

Plants are adversely affected by a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses during their life cycle. In real ecological environments, multiple stresses often occur simultaneously and have huge effects on the yield and nutritional content of crops. Crosstalk is regarded to exist between these different stresses. To date, most research focuses on the interaction…

Regulatory mechanisms and breeding strategies for crop drought resistance

Zhenghua He, Pei Zhang, Haitao Jia et al. · 24 May 2024

Drought is a primary abiotic stress affecting crops, leading to plant stomatal closure, reduced photosynthetic capacity, and reduced yields or even harvest failure. Severe drought can adversely impact agricultural production, ecosystems, and socio-economic capacities. Recently, researchers have studied the regulatory mechanisms of crop drought resistance and cloned hundreds of genes via genetic and molecular approaches.…

Insights into plant–microbe interactions in the rhizosphere to promote sustainable agriculture in the new crops era

Xiaoyu Shi, Yige Zhao, Mengwei Xu et al. · 18 Nov 2023

Microbes accompany plants throughout their lives, from the seed to the ripe fruit. Plant-microbe interactions have long been a focus of research, leading to thousands of articles that demonstrate their importance for agriculture. Here, we review these previous findings, and discuss future directions and prospects of application of plant-microbe interactions from various perspectives: the community…

Current, faltering, and future strategies for advancing microbiome-assisted sustainable agriculture and environmental resilience

Ahmad Humayan Kabir, Md Zakaria Ibne Baki, Bulbul Ahmed et al. · 29 Jan 2024

Establishing global sustainable agriculture emerges as the primary, indispensable strategy to meet escalating food demands and address environmental preservation amidst the challenges posed by severe climate change. The intricate communities of microorganisms associated with plants, collectively termed the plant microbiome, wield significant influence over the vitality and productivity of plant species. Unleashing the potential of…

The hormonal, metabolic, and environmental regulation of plant shoot branching

Yuqi Liu, Shangyu Chen, Sikander Pal et al. · 23 May 2024

Plants have evolved varied structures for environmental adaptation. Shoot branching, as a part of plant architecture, influences the allocation of sugars produced by photosynthesis and thus greatly impacts crop yields. The activity of axillary meristem, and apical dominance governs the shoot branching patterns. In this review, we summarize the key factors involved in the formation…

New Crops template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the New Crops format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the New Crops template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
