Salinity stress is considered the most devastating abiotic stress for crop productivity.
Accumulating different types of soluble proteins has evolved as a vital strategy that plays a …

Metabolic regulation is the key mechanism implicated in plants maintaining cell osmotic
potential under drought stress. Understanding drought stress tolerance in plants will have a …

Soil salinization is a major threat to agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions, where water
scarcity and inadequate drainage of irrigated lands severely reduce crop yield. Salt …

Main conclusion There is a need to integrate conceptual framework based on the current
understanding of salt stress responses with different approaches for manipulating and …

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 …

Rapid global warming directly impacts agricultural productivity and poses a major challenge
to the present-day agriculture. Recent climate change models predict severe losses in crop …

In the face of diminishing fresh water resources and increasing soil salinisation it is relevant
to evaluate the potential of halophytic plant species to be cultivated in arid and semi-arid …

Even under optimal conditions many metabolic processes produce ROS like superoxide
anion (O 2.-), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and hydroxyl radicals (OH⋅), particularly in …

Dehydrins (DHNs), or group 2 LEA (Late Embryogenesis Abundant) proteins, play a
fundamental role in plant response and adaptation to abiotic stresses. They accumulate …

Drought stress-induced crop loss has been considerably increased in recent years because
of global warming and changing rainfall pattern. Natural drought-tolerant plants entail the …
