Several environmental stresses, including biotic and abiotic factors, adversely affect the
growth and development of crops, thereby lowering their yield. However, abiotic factors, eg …

Defense against stress and active suppression of growth are two complementary strategies
by which plants respond to adverse environments. Although beneficial for plant survival …

In the growth condition (s) of plants, numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) are produced
by them to serve variety of cellular functions essential for physiological processes, and …

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 …

Climate change is a critical yield–limiting factor that has threatened the entire global crop
production system in the present scenario. The use of biostimulants in agriculture has shown …

Drought and heat are major abiotic stresses that reduce crop productivity and weaken global
food security, especially given the current and growing impacts of climate change and …

Plants often face incompatible growing environments like drought, salinity, cold, frost, and
elevated temperatures that affect plant growth and development leading to low yield and, in …

Time is an often-neglected variable in biological research. Plants respond to biotic and
abiotic stressors with a range of chemical signals, but as plants are non-equilibrium systems …

The environmental stress is a major area of scientific concern because it constraints plant as
well as crop productivity. This situation has been further worsened by anthropogenic …

Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of
the world due to increasing use of poor quality of water for irrigation and soil salinization …
