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 …

Increased incidence of abiotic stresses impacting adversely plant growth and productivity in
major crops is being witnessed all over the world. Therefore, as a result of such stress …

This review focuses on the responses of the plant cell wall to several abiotic stresses
including drought, flooding, heat, cold, salt, heavy metals, light, and air pollutants. The …

Salinity affects plant growth and is a major abiotic stress that limits crop productivity. It is well-
understood that environmental adaptations and genetic traits regulate salinity tolerance in …

Plants, as a sessile organism, rely on the endogenous regulators for the modulation of
growth and development under severe stress conditions for their survival. Plant hormones …

Salinity stress is considered the most devastating abiotic stress for crop productivity.
Accumulating different types of soluble proteins has evolved as a vital strategy that plays a …

Drought and salinity are major environmental stresses resulting in secondary stresses such
as osmotic and oxidative stress (common to both stresses) as well as ionic stress (during …

Halophytes are plants which naturally survive in saline environment. They account for∼ 1%
of the total flora of the world. They include both dicots and monocots and are distributed …

Elevated sodium (Na+) decreases plant growth and, thereby, agricultural productivity. The
ion transporter high-affinity K+ transporter (HKT) 1 controls Na+ import in roots, yet …

Although the roles of ethylene in plant response to salinity and other stresses have been
extensively studied, there are still some obscure points left to be clarified. Generally, in …
