Heat stress due to increased temperature is an agricultural problem in many areas in the
world. Transitory or constantly high temperatures cause an array of morpho-anatomical …

The progressive increase in the earth's temperature due to anthropogenic activities is a
major concern for humanity. The ensuing heat stress (HS) severely impacts plant growth …

The general circulation models estimated an average increase in global surface
temperature about 4° C (2.9 to 5.5° C). Escalating temperature and extreme weather events …

The sessile nature of plants has resulted in the evolution of an extraordinarily diverse suite
of protective mechanisms against biotic and abiotic stresses. Though volatile isoprenoids …

Background Some, but not all, plants emit isoprene. Emission of the related monoterpenes is
more universal among plants, but the amount of isoprene emitted from plants dominates the …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds produced by plants are involved in plant growth,
development, reproduction and defence. They also function as communication media within …

Drought is among the most damaging climate extremes, potentially causing significant
decline in ecosystem functioning and services at the regional to global scale, thus …

Tropospheric ozone (O3) is one of the most prominent air pollution problems in Europe and
other countries worldwide. Human health is affected by O3 via the respiratory as well the …

Plant-generated volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play key roles in large-scale
atmospheric processes and serve the plants as important defense and signal molecules …

Future climate change is set to have an impact on the physiological performance of global
vegetation. Increasing temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration will affect plant …
