Drought and salinity are among the most important environmental factors that hampered
agricultural productivity worldwide. Both stresses can induce several morphological …

Drought tolerance involves mechanisms operating at different spatial and temporal scales,
from rapid stomatal closure to maintenance of crop yield. We review how short-term …

Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different
meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the …

The ongoing climate change is characterized by increased temperatures and altered
precipitation patterns. In addition, there has been an increase in both the frequency and …

Metabolic regulation is one of the main mechanisms involved in the maintenance of cell
osmotic potential under abiotic stress. To date, metabolite profiling approaches have been …

Plant metabolism is perturbed by various abiotic stresses. As such the metabolic network of
plants must be reconfigured under stress conditions in order to allow both the maintenance …

Background Plants are often subjected to periods of soil and atmospheric water deficits
during their life cycle as well as, in many areas of the globe, to high soil salinity …

Plant acclimation to stress is associated with profound changes in proteome composition.
Since proteins are directly involved in plant stress response, proteomics studies can …

In plants, carbon (C) molecules provide building blocks for biomass production, fuel for
energy, and exert signalling roles to shape development and metabolism. Accordingly, plant …

Over the past two decades, research in forest tree genomics has lagged behind that of
model and agricultural systems. However, genomic research in forest trees is poised to enter …
