Environmental pollution, increasing CO2 atmospheric levels and the greenhouse effect are
closely associated with the ongoing climate change and the extreme climatic events we are …

Drought stress is a severe environmental constraint among the emerging problems. Plants
are highly vulnerable to drought stress and a severe decrease in yield was recorded in the …

Most agricultural land, as a result of climate change, experiences severe stress that
significantly reduces agricultural yields. Crop sensing by imaging techniques allows early …

Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO2 is a key photosynthetic trait that has been studied
intensively in the past years. The intention of the present review is to update knowledge of …

Drought, the major limiting factor for plant growth and crop productivity, affecting several
physiological and biochemical processes, is expected to increase in duration, intensity, and …

Abiotic stress conditions such as drought, heat, or salinity cause extensive losses to
agricultural production worldwide. Progress in generating transgenic crops with enhanced …

Increasing leaf transpiration efficiency (TE) may provide leads for growing rice like dryland
cereals such as wheat (Triticum aestivum). To explore avenues for improving TE in rice …

Plants would be more vulnerable to water stress and thereafter rewatering or a cycled water
environmental change, which occur more frequently under climatic change conditions in …

Non-irrigated crops in temperate climates and irrigated crops in arid climates are subjected
to continuous cycles of water stress and re-watering. Thus, fast and efficient recovery from …

Increased periods of water shortage and higher temperatures, together with a reduction in
nutrient availability, have been proposed as major factors that negatively impact plant …
