Climate change is causing soil salinization, resulting in crop losses throughout the world.
The ability of plants to tolerate salt stress is determined by multiple biochemical and …

Phytohormones act as chemical messengers and, under a complex regulation, allow plants
to sustain biotic and abiotic stresses. Thus, phytohormones are known for their regulatory …

Heavy metal contamination of soil and water causing toxicity/stress has become one
important constraint to crop productivity and quality. This situation has further worsened by …

Industrialization and urbanization have posed serious threats to the environment. Excessive
release of heavy metals from industrial effluents and overuse of pesticides in modern …
