Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key signalling molecules that enable cells to rapidly
respond to different stimuli. In plants, ROS play a crucial role in abiotic and biotic stress …

Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and
extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their …

Achieving sustainable agricultural productivity and global food security are two of the
biggest challenges of the new millennium. Addressing these challenges requires innovative …

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

Drought alone causes more annual loss in crop yield than all pathogens combined. To
adapt to moisture gradients in soil, plants alter their physiology, modify root growth and …

Cultivated rice varieties are all diploid, and polyploidization of rice has long been desired
because of its advantages in genome buffering, vigorousness, and environmental …

Human activity is causing a global change in plant environment that includes a significant
increase in the number and intensity of different stress factors. These include combinations …

Complex biological processes such as plant growth and development are often under the
control of transcription factors that regulate the expression of large sets of genes and …

Free‐air CO2 enrichment (FACE) allows open‐air elevation of [CO2] without altering the
microclimate. Its scale uniquely supports simultaneous study from physiology and yield to …

Agroecology is often considered as the ultimate and most comprehensive solution to the
many challenges of the agricultural and food system, also referred to as the agri-food …
