Salinity is one of the significant abiotic stresses that negatively affect plant production
processes, growth, and development, which ultimately reduce yield. Plants adapt specific …

World population is expected to reach 9.2× 109 people by 2050. Feeding them will require a
boost in crop productivity using innovative approaches. Current agricultural production is …

Salinity is a consistent factor of crop productivity loss in the world and in particular arid and
semi-arid areas where the soil salinity and saline water are major problems. Plants employ …

There is a pressing need to improve climate-resilient crops as a consequence of
increasingly erratic climatic behavior that threatens global food security. Current scientific …

The green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) mediated fruit peel extract is
gaining importance due to its cost-effectiveness and ecofriendly nature. Herein, ZnO-NPs …

New sources of genetic diversity must be incorporated into plant breeding programs if they
are to continue increasing grain yield and quality, and tolerance to abiotic and biotic …

Soil salinity and sodicity are major constraints to global cereal production, but breeding for
tolerance has been slow. Narrow gene pools, over-emphasis on the sodium (Na+) exclusion …

Unlike most of the important food crops, sesame can survive drought but severe and
repeated drought episodes, especially occurring during the reproductive stage, significantly …

Breeding new crop cultivars with efficient root systems carries great potential to enhance
resource use efficiency and plant adaptation to unstable climates. Here, we evaluated the …

Sesame has great potential as an industrial crop but its production is challenged by drought
and salt stresses. To unravel the genetic variants leading to salinity and drought tolerances …
