Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing
about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical …

Carbon and nitrogen metabolism provide the main energy and basic nutrients for plants.
However, environmental stress seriously affects carbon and nitrogen metabolism and thus …

Salinity and drought are two major abiotic stresses challenging global crop production and
food security. In this study, the effects of individual and combined effects of drought (at …

Salinity is a major obstacle to wheat production worldwide. Salt-affected soils could be used
by improving salt-tolerant genotypes depending upon the genetic variation and salt stress …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Throughout the
sugarcane's growth stages, periods of drought are common, causing detrimental effects on …

A family tree of the multifunctional proteins, glutathione transferases (GSTs, EC 2.5. 1.18)
was created in Solanum lycopersicum based on homology to known Arabidopsis GSTs. The …

Aims Plant root‐associated rhizobacteria elicit plant immunity referred to as induced
systemic tolerance (IST) against multiple abiotic stresses. Among multibacterial …

Drought and high salinity are major environmental conditions limiting plant growth and
development. Expansin is a cell-wall-loosening protein known to disrupt hydrogen bonds …

Salinity is a major problem in arid and semi-arid regions, where irrigation is essential for
crop production. Major sources of salinity in these regions are salt-rich irrigation water and …

Salinity is a deleterious factor that hinders plant production across the globe. Salinity
reduces irrigation water quality. Plant tolerance to salinity stress requires sophisticated …
