Global warming, climate change, and environmental pollution present plants with unique
combinations of different abiotic and biotic stresses. Although much is known about how …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in the acclimation process of plants to abiotic
stress. They primarily function as signal transduction molecules that regulate different …

Environmental stress conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, cold, or pathogen infection
can have a devastating impact on plant growth and yield under field conditions …

Under field conditions crops are routinely subjected to a number of different abiotic stress
factors simultaneously. Recent studies revealed that the response of plants to a combination …

Episodes of prolonged drought coupled with heat waves (ie drought and heat combination)
can have a devastating impact on agricultural production and crop yield. It is therefore not …

Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of abiotic stress
combinations that negatively impact plants and pose a serious threat to crop yield and food …

Temperature is a major factor governing the distribution and seasonal behaviour of plants.
Being sessile, plants are highly responsive to small differences in temperature and adjust …

In field conditions, plants are often simultaneously exposed to multiple biotic and abiotic
stresses resulting in substantial yield loss. Plants have evolved various physiological and …

Background Abiotic stresses due to environmental factors could adversely affect the growth
and development of crops. Among the abiotic stresses, drought and heat stress are two …

Drylands are known for being a drought stressed environment, which is an alarming
constraint to crop productivity. To rescue plant growth in such stressful conditions, plant …
