The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Crop yield has been greatly enhanced during the last century. However, most elite cultivars
are adapted to temperate climates and are not well suited to more stressful conditions. In the …

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 …

Abiotic stresses such as high temperature, salinity, and drought adversely affect the survival,
growth, and reproduction of plants. Plants respond to such unfavorable changes through …

Global warming is predicted to have a general negative effect on plant growth due to the
damaging effect of high temperatures on plant development. The increasing threat of …

Heat stress greatly threatens crop production. Plants have evolved multiple adaptive
mechanisms, including alternative splicing, that allow them to withstand this stress …

An increase in ambient temperature throughout the twenty-first century has been described
as a “worldwide threat” for crop production. Due to their sessile lifestyles, plants have …

The increased prevalence of high temperatures (HTs) around the world is a major global
concern, as they dramatically affect agronomic productivity. Upon HT exposure, plants sense …

Potyvirus is the largest genus of plant viruses causing significant losses in a wide range of
crops. Potyviruses are aphid transmitted in a nonpersistent manner and some of them are …

Plants heat shock factors (HSFs) are encoded by large gene families with variable structure,
expression, and function. HSFs are components of complex signaling systems that control …
