Goche T, Ngara R, Chivasa S
MicroPubl Biol
. 2025 Feb;
2025.
PMID: 39944964
Phytosulfokine (PSK) signalling promotes drought adaptation in drought-sensitive plants. However, whether naturally drought-tolerant plants deploy PSK signalling in drought is unknown. We are using two sorghum varieties with different drought...

Moloi S, Alqarni A, Brown A, Goche T, Shargie N, Moloi M, et al.
Plants (Basel)
. 2024 Oct;
13(19).
PMID: 39409667
Drought stress severely affects crop productivity and threatens food security. As current trends of global warming are predicted to exacerbate droughts, developing drought-resilient crops becomes urgent. Here, we used the...

Ngwenya S, Moloi S, Shargie N, Brown A, Chivasa S, Ngara R
Plants (Basel)
. 2024 Jul;
13(13).
PMID: 38999714
Plants reprogramme their proteome to alter cellular metabolism for effective stress adaptation. Intracellular proteomic responses have been extensively studied, and the extracellular matrix stands as a key hub where peptide...

Muthego D, Moloi S, Brown A, Goche T, Chivasa S, Ngara R
Plant Signal Behav
. 2023 Dec;
18(1):2291618.
PMID: 38100609
Drought stress adversely affects plant growth, often leading to total crop failure. Upon sensing soil water deficits, plants switch on biosynthesis of abscisic acid (ABA), a stress hormone for drought...

Moloi S, Ngara R
Front Plant Sci
. 2023 May;
14:1165845.
PMID: 37143877
Upon exposure to drought, plants undergo complex signal transduction events with concomitant changes in the expression of genes, proteins and metabolites. For example, proteomics studies continue to identify multitudes of...

Ngara R, Goche T, Swanevelder D, Chivasa S
Life (Basel)
. 2021 Aug;
11(7).
PMID: 34357076
Sorghum is a cereal crop with key agronomic traits of drought and heat stress tolerance, making it an ideal food and industrial commodity for hotter and more arid climates. These...

Ngcala M, Goche T, Brown A, Chivasa S, Ngara R
Proteomes
. 2020 Oct;
8(4).
PMID: 33105781
Plants reprogram gene expression as an adaptive response to survive high temperatures. While the identity and functions of intracellular heat stress-responsive proteins have been extensively studied, the heat response of...

Goche T, Shargie N, Cummins I, Brown A, Chivasa S, Ngara R
Sci Rep
. 2020 Jul;
10(1):11835.
PMID: 32678202
When exposed to drought stress many plants reprogram their gene expression to activate adaptive biochemical and physiological responses for survival. However, most of the well-studied adaptive responses are common between...

Ngara R, Ramulifho E, Movahedi M, Shargie N, Brown A, Chivasa S
Sci Rep
. 2018 Jun;
8(1):8671.
PMID: 29875393
Drought stress triggers remarkable physiological changes and growth impediments, which significantly diminish plant biomass and crop yield. However, certain plant species show notable resilience, maintaining nearly normal yields under severe...

Ngara R, Ndimba B
Proteomics
. 2013 Dec;
14(4-5):611-21.
PMID: 24339029
Worldwide, crop productivity is drastically reduced by drought and salinity stresses. In order to develop food crops with increased productivity in marginal areas, it is important to first understand the...
