“…From the angle of development (seedling, tillering, and maturation stages), my group explored the dynamic change of POD, SOD, CAT and MDA among 10 wheat genotypes at soil water deficits [3][4][5][6][7]15,43]. We concluded that the changing law of these anti-stress indicators took a tendency of 'slow-rapid-slow' curve, which is in agreement with the curve of plant growth periodicity coincidently.…”

“…The above four parameters are important indicators for measuring photosynthetic efficiency, but their roles in this aspect cannot be considered the same. This discovery also has an importance in conducting global precise agriculture and high production of plants [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

The mutual-responding relationship between plants and environment is involved in all life processes, which are the essential bases for different types of sustainable development on the globe, particularly the critical basis for agricultural sustainable development. How to regulate the above relationship between plants and the corresponding environment (in particular soil environment) is the key problem to modern sustainable agriculture development under global climate change, which is one of the hot topics in the field of plant biology. Detailed dissection of this responding relationship is also important for conducting global eco-environmental restoration and construction. Although powerful methodology and dataset related to genomics, post-genomics, and metabolomics have provided some insights into this relationship, crop physiological measures are also critical for crop full performance in field. With the increase of tested plants (including model plants) and development of integrated molecular biology, a complete understanding of the relationship at different scales under biotic and abiotic stresses will be accelerated. In the current paper, we will cover some important aspects in combination with the recent work from our laboratory and related advances reflected by international academic journals, as follows: plant physiological function performance under natural condition, plant gene regulatory network system under abiotic stresses, gene regulatory network system and drought resistance improvement, summary of the related work from our laboratory, conclusions, and acknowledgement.

“…In recent years, more and more papers published exclusively by researchers based in mainland China are published in high impact international journals as well (see e.g. : [CHEN & AL., 2006]). Still, international co-publication remains important to the increasing international visibility of the Chinese research system and related to this, the quality of the Chinese research output and its potential influence on the direction of global science.…”

This paper analyses the changing geographic balance in China's international co-publications in general and in three molecular life science subfields in particular. No support is found for the expectation that intensive, designated institutional support for research collaboration in the form of joint laboratories has a positive impact on the number of co-publications at the systemic level. The size of partner research systems, and since the turn of the century the relative size of overseas Chinese scientific communities in various partner countries do help to explain the observed geographic variations in the share of China's international co-publications. The paper concludes by discussing some of the potential factors underlying the perceived change in the dynamics of international co-publication behavior of mainland Chinese scientists since the turn of the century.

“…These mechanisms could be responsible for ABA-dependent cell cycle arrest involved in calcium signals during osmotic stress in higher plants. (85)(86)(87) Cell elongation is a coordinately regulated process at the whole plant level and is affected by external stimuli including nutrients, mineral elements and water availability. (88)(89)(90) The rate of cell expansion is mainly determined by two parameters, cell wall extensibility and cellular osmotic potential.…”

“…Recent publications further and clearly demonstrated that the calcium signal system is involved in almost all the life processes in plants such as growth, development, reproduction, senescence, death, cell cycle, stomatal closure, circadian clock, gravistimulation, immunity to insect herbivores and pathogen, water-nutrient heterogeneity under soil environment, phytohormone and light signaling, oxidative stress and redox signaling. (8,24,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)58,67,82,(84)(85)(86)(87)(88)(89)(90)(91) It is clear that calcium plays a central role in the living processes of higher plants as a versatile transducer signal under cellular milieu and changing environment, especially soil water environment on different scales. However, the role varies in different plant species.…”

Calcium as a versatile plant signal transducer under soil water stress

The complexity of calcium profiles observed in plant cells has led to the realization that specific patterns of calcium propagation (now termed calcium signatures) encode specific information and relay it to downstream elements (effectors) for translation into corresponding cellular responses in higher plants. The concept of calcium signatures is now well established and the tight control of the temporal and spatial characteristics of cytosolic calcium alterations is considered to be responsible for the specificity of various cellular responses, in particular to environment-induced stresses. To date, three major classes of plant calcium sensors responsible for drought-stress signal transduction during soil water deficit have been identified. Valuable pieces of the calcium signal-specificity puzzle are being put together and are illustrated here for the calcium-mediated signal-transduction cascades that operate in the responses of higher plants to soil environmental deficits.
