DOI: 10.1007/s12374-021-09306-5
Abstract: RNA helicases (RHs) are cellular proteins that help in the regulation of post-transcriptional mRNA metabolism, which is vital for the response of crops to abiotic stresses. In this study, we determined the functional role of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/ery027
Abstract: Dioxins are highly toxic persistent organic pollutants bioaccumulated by both plants and animals that cause severe developmental abnormalities in humans. We investigated the effects of dioxins on seed development in Arabidopsis. Plants were exposed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.00529
Abstract: Peptides are important regulators that participate in the modulation of almost every physiological event in plants, including defense. Recently, many of these peptides have been described as defense elicitors, termed phytocytokines, that are released upon… read more here.
