Plants face a combination of different abiotic stresses under field conditions which are lethal
to plant growth and production. Simultaneous occurrence of chilling and drought stresses in …

As sessile organisms, plants are constantly challenged by a dynamic growing environment.
This includes fluctuations in temperature, water availability, light levels, and changes in …

Sucrose is the main photosynthetic product in plants, and acts as a major energy substrate
and signaling regulator of plant growth. Furthermore, sucrose is involved in the responses to …

Sugars are the most important regulators that facilitate many physiological processes, such
as photosynthesis, seed germination, flowering, senescence, and many more under various …

As a result of climate change, drought is predicted to pose greater pressure on food
production system than in the past. At the same time, crop yield co-varies with both …

Salicylic acid (SA) is a naturally occurring phenolic compound. SA plays an important role in
the regulation of plant growth, development, ripening, and defense responses. The role of …

Drought stress adversely effects physiological and biochemical processes of plants, leading
to a reduction in plant productivity. Plants try to protect themselves via activation of their …

Rising temperatures and drought stress limit the growth and production potential of lentil
(Lens culinaris Medikus), particularly during reproductive growth and seed filling. The …

Drought is one of the major constraints limiting crop production worldwide. Crop growth
models predict that this issue will be more severe in future. Drought impairs normal growth …
