Drought, the major limiting factor for plant growth and crop productivity, affecting several
physiological and biochemical processes, is expected to increase in duration, intensity, and …

Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the earliest responses of plant cells
to various biotic and abiotic stresses. ROS are capable of inducing cellular damage by …

Salt stress severely reduces growth and yield of plants. Considering the positive effects of
selenium (Se) and chitosan (Cs) separately against abiotic stress, in these experiments, we …

To understand the effect of heat and drought on three major cereal crops, the physiological
and biochemical (ie, metabolic) factors affecting photosynthesis were examined in rice …

Drought and heat stress cause losses in wheat productivity in major growing regions
worldwide, and both the occurrence and the severity of these events are likely to increase …

Under climate warming, extreme drought events (EDEs) in southwestern China have
become more frequent and severe and have had significant impacts on vegetation growth …

Tolerance to drought remains poorly described for Jatropha curcas accessions from different
geographical and climatic origins. To address this issue we studied the response of two J …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the main cereals grown around the world. It is used for human
and animal nutrition and also as biofuel. However, as a direct consequence of global climate …

Heat waves and drought periods are expected to become more frequent due to climate
change. This may cause a critical decline in future crop yields. However, insufficient …

High salt levels are one of the significant and major limiting factors on crop yield and
productivity. Out of the available attempts made against high salt levels, engineered …
