Water, a necessary component of cell protoplasm, plays an essential role in supporting life
on Earth; nevertheless, extreme changes in climatic conditions limit water availability …

Due to global climate change, abiotic stresses are affecting plant growth, productivity, and
the quality of cultivated crops. Stressful conditions disrupt physiological activities and …

As sessile organisms, plants must tolerate various environmental stresses. Plant hormones
play vital roles in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Among these hormones …

Global climate variations induce extreme temperatures and significantly decrease crop
production, leading to food insecurity worldwide. Temperature extremes (mainly cold stress …

The spread of heavy metal (loid) s at soil-food crop interfaces has become a threat to
sustainable agricultural productivity, food security, and human health. The eco-toxic effects …

Lipid-derived jasmonates (JAs) play a crucial role in a variety of plant development and
defense mechanisms. In recent years, significant progress has been made toward …

Sustainable agricultural production is critically antagonistic by fluctuating unfavorable
environmental conditions. The introduction of mineral elements emerged as the most …

Waterlogging is one of the main abiotic stresses suffered by plants. Inhibition of aerobic
respiration during waterlogging limits energy metabolism and restricts growth and a wide …

Jasmonic acid (JA) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA) are master regulators of plant development
and stress response against pathogens and environmental fluctuations. Thus, JA is an …

Plant growth regulators are organic chemical compounds that alter or regulate various
physiological processes appreciably in a plant when used in small concentrations. These …
