Most cultivated potatoes are tetraploid, and the tuber is the main economic part that is
consumed due to its calorific and nutritional values. Recent trends in climate change led to …

Water scarcity is the primary constraint on crop productivity in arid and semiarid tropical
areas suffering from climate alterations; in accordance, agricultural systems have to be …

Water deficit is one of the main devastating environmental factors limiting crops productivity.
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can improve plant growth in stress conditions …

Water shortage, excessive fertilization and improper variety selection have seriously
restricted the sustainable development of potato in Northwest China. Two-year field …

Banana (Musa acuminata) fruits ripening at 30° C or above fail to develop yellow peels; this
phenomenon, called green ripening, greatly reduces their marketability. The regulatory …

Potato production is often constrained by abiotic stresses such as drought and high
temperatures which are often present in combination. In the present work, we aimed to …

Drought has been identified as a major threat restricting crop production worldwide. Silicon
(Si), a beneficial element, has a proven role in enhancing plant tolerance against various …

The antioxidant mechanism is crucial for resisting oxidative damage induced by drought
stress in plants. Different antioxidant mechanisms may contribute to the tolerance of cassava …

Drought stress hampers plant energy and biomass production; however it is still unknown
