By the year 2050, the world's population is predicted to have grown to around 9–10 billion
people. The food demand in many countries continues to increase with population growth …

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 …

Salinity stress is a major threat to global food production and its intensity is continuously
increasing because of anthropogenic activities. Wheat is a staple food and a source of …

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 …

Agriculture affects climate change and contributes directly and indirectly to greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. However, no reports have fully quantified the GHG emissions from …

Increasing temperature and consequent changes in climate adversely affect plant growth
and development, resulting in catastrophic loss of wheat productivity. For each degree rise …

Plant productivity is impacted by drought stress, which adversely affects their morphological
and physiological processes. In response, the plant activates its defense mechanisms, but …

In recent times, the demand for food and feed for the ever-increasing population has
achieved unparalleled importance, which cannot afford crop yield loss. Now-a-days, the …

Broadacre (arable) crops generally require a relatively higher nutrient input toward yield
targets. The efficient use of nutrients in arable farmlands is very vital to this endeavor. It …

Intracellular potassium homeostasis is a prerequisite for the optimal operation of plant
metabolic machinery and plant's overall performance. It is controlled by K+ uptake, efflux …
