Drought is a major environmental stress threatening wheat productivity worldwide. Global
climate models predict changed precipitation patterns with frequent episodes of drought …

Plants exposed to salt stress undergo changes in their environment. The ability of plants to
tolerate salt is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate retention and/or …

Drought stress impairs plant growth leading to depression in yield. This experiment aimed to
elucidate the substantial impact of silicon (Si)[in forms of SiO 2 and SiO 2-nanoparticles (SiO …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Water deficit is one of the main abiotic factors that affect spring wheat planted in subtropical
regions. Accumulation of proline appears to be a promising approach to maintain the …

A causal relationship between increased proline synthesis and plant tolerance of
hyperosmotic stresses has been demonstrated. Nonetheless, the molecular basis of this …

Salt‐stress effects on osmotic adjustment, ion and proline concentrations as well as proline
metabolizing enzyme activities were studied in two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars differing in …

The study examines the effect of acclimation on the antioxidant system and proline
metabolism in cucumber leaves subjected to 100 and 150 NaCl stress. The levels of protein …

A greenhouse study was carried out using three durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.)
cultivars differing in their field performances under arid conditions (Kabir 1, poor yield …

To evaluate the role of potassium (K) in maintaining nitrogen metabolism and osmotic
adjustment development of cotton functional leaves to sustain growth under soil drought and …
