Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are widespread across the plant kingdom, and
their concentrations are related to the environment, genotype, and harvest time. RFOs are …

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

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple foods in the world, however most
improved rice varieties are susceptible to drought stress. A two-year study was conducted to …

Mature seeds are an ultimate physiological status that enables plants to endure extreme
