Several recent studies have shown that citric acid/citrate (CA) can confer abiotic stress
tolerance to plants. Exogenous CA application leads to improved growth and yield in crop …

Plants cope with drought stress by manipulating key physiological processes like
photosynthesis, respiration, water relations, antioxidant and hormonal metabolism. There …

At a whole plant level the effects of drought is usually perceived as a decrease in growth and
photosynthetic carbon assimilation. That is why this review is focused mainly on recent …

Adaptation to environmental changes is crucial for plant growth and survival. However, the
molecular and biochemical mechanisms of adaptation are still poorly understood and the …

This chapter proposes that whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as signal transducing
or damaging molecules is mainly dependent on their quality and second, on their quantity …

In natural environments, drought often occurs in surface soil while water is available for plant
uptake deeper in the soil profile. The objective of the study was to examine the involvement …

To understand the adaptability of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) to environmental stresses, we
analyzed the activity of several antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Drought and high temperature are two major factors limiting the growth of cool‐season
turfgrasses during summer in many areas. The objective of the study was to examine …

An experiment was conducted with three wheat genotypes differing in their sensitivity to
moisture and/or temperature stress to study the relationship of the chloroplast antioxidant …
