Since whole-genome sequencing of many crops has been achieved, crop functional
genomics studies have stepped into the big-data and high-throughput era. However …

Gas exchange measurements enable mechanistic insights into the processes that underpin
carbon and water fluxes in plant leaves which in turn inform understanding of related …

Background γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), as a regulator of many aspects of plant growth, has
a pivotal role in improving plant stress resistance. However, few studies have focused on the …

Main conclusion ETR/AN ratios should be in the range 7.5–10.5 for non-stressed C3 plants.
Ratios extremely out of this range can be reflecting both uncontrolled plant status and …

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot dry summers and frequent droughts.
Mediterranean crops are frequently subjected to high evapotranspiration demands, soil …

Heat stress is one of the major abiotic factors that limit the growth, development, and
productivity of plants. Both glycine betaine (GB) and β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) have …

Plant physiological status is the interaction between the plant genome and the prevailing
growth conditions. Accurate characterization of plant physiology is, therefore, fundamental to …

Shading or low light (LL) conditions are a key and necessary cultivation technique in cigar
wrapper tobacco production. However, the effect of low light on the photosynthesis in cigar …

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are
emerging pollutants that are likely to occur in the contemporary environment. So far, their …

Drought stress (DS) is one of the most frequently occurring stresses in tomato plants.
Detecting tomato plant DS is vital for optimizing irrigation and improving fruit quality. In this …
