Crop yields must increase to meet the demands of a growing world population. Soil
salinization is increasing due to the impacts of climate change, reducing the area of arable …

Plants are exposed to increasingly severe drought events and roots play vital roles in
maintaining plant survival, growth, and reproduction. A large body of literature has …

Plant roots exhibit plasticity in their branching patterns to forage efficiently for
heterogeneously distributed resources, such as soil water. The xerobranching response …

Roots are essential multifunctional plant organs involved in water and nutrient uptake,
metabolite storage, anchorage, mechanical support, and interaction with the soil …

Salt stress is a major limiting factor for plant growth and crop yield. High salinity causes
osmotic stress followed by ionic stress, both of which disturb plant growth and metabolism …

The number and intensity of flood events will likely increase in the future, raising the risk of
flooding stress in terrestrial plants. Understanding flood effects on plant physiology and plant …

Drought is one of the biggest concerns in agriculture due to the projected reduction of global
freshwater supply with a concurrent increase in global food demand. Roots can significantly …

This review focuses on the regulation of root water uptake in plants which are exposed to
salt stress. Root water uptake is not considered in isolation but is viewed in the context of …

Isoprene, a volatile hydrocarbon, is typically emitted from the leaves of many plant species.
Given its well‐known function in plant growth and defense aboveground, we examined its …

Osmotic stress is one of the biggest problems in agriculture, which adversely affects crop
productivity. Plants adopt several strategies to overcome osmotic stresses that include …
