MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression, playing key roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Their regulatory functions make miRNAs ideal targets for enhancing crop yield, quality, and stress tolerance using biotechnologies, such as transgenic overexpression and CRISPR/Cas genome editing. By targeting multiple genes, miRNAs address complex agricultural challenges effectively.

Throughout leaf development, cell expansion is dynamic and driven by the balance between local cell wall mechanical properties and the intracellular turgor pressure that overcomes the stiffness of the cell wall leading to plastic deformation. The epidermal pavement cells in most leaves begin development as small, polygonally shaped cells, but in mature leaves epidermal pavement cells are often shaped as highly lobed puzzle pieces. However, the developmental and biomechanical trajectories between these two end points have not before been fully characterized.

Atropa belladonna is the primary commercial source of medicinal tropane alkaloids (mTAs), clinically vital anticholinergic agents. While rolB/rolC genes from Rhizobium rhizogenes activate plant secondary metabolism, their constitutive expression causes adverse morphological alterations. To overcome this, we engineered A.

Climate change has intensified the frequency, severity, and simultaneous incidence of drought and heat events, threatening the sustainability of agricultural systems worldwide. This implies the use of resilient plant genotypes able to activate defense mechanisms and overcome stress damage. We examined the leaf transcriptomic, proteomic, and membrane lipid responses in two cultivars of the main coffee-producing species- L.

In a world facing the challenge of adapting to a rapidly changing climate, hydrologists have an important role in ensuring the risks from floods, droughts and polluted water are addressed. Despite ongoing scientific advances, and a growing focus on people-centred hydrology that supports solutions to global hydrological challenges, there remains a disconnect between hydrological expertise, policy and practice. The best hydrological models in the world are no use to society if they do not result in effective action.
