Osmotic adjustment (OA) and cellular compatible solute accumulation are widely recognized
to have a role in plant adaptation to dehydration mainly through turgor maintenance and the …

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

Abstract The Chinese hickory (Carya cathayensis) is an economically important tree species
popular for its nuts. However, the tree requires a long time to reach the nut-producing phase …

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 …

Osmotic adjustment (OA), the accumulation of solutes in higher plant cells in response to
water deficits, was first reported more than four decades ago. Since then, variation in OA …

This presentation is a concept review paper dealing with a central dilemma in
understanding, designing, and acting upon crop plant improvement programs for drought …

Osmolyte accumulation (OA) is frequently cited as a key putative mechanism for increasing
yields of crops subjected to drought conditions. The hypothesis is that OA results in a …

The importance of root systems in acquiring water has long been recognized as crucial to
cope with drought conditions. This investigation was conducted to:(i) evaluate the variability …
