Plants face a combination of different abiotic stresses under field conditions which are lethal
to plant growth and production. Simultaneous occurrence of chilling and drought stresses in …

With the continuous increase in human population, there is widespread usage of chemical
fertilizers that are responsible for introducing abiotic stresses in agricultural crop lands …

Saline-alkali soils pose an increasingly serious global threat to plant growth and
productivity. Much progress has been made in elucidating how plants adapt to salt stress by …

Drought stress adversely effects physiological and biochemical processes of plants, leading
to a reduction in plant productivity. Plants try to protect themselves via activation of their …

Plants cope with drought stress by manipulating key physiological processes like
photosynthesis, respiration, water relations, antioxidant and hormonal metabolism. There …

Epigenetics involves the heritable changes in patterns of gene expression determined by
developmental and abiotic stresses, ie, drought, cold, salinity, trace metals, and heat. Gene …

Gene expression driven by developmental and stress cues often depends on nucleosome
histone post-translational modifications and sometimes on DNA methylation. A number of …

Main conclusion Plants develop both short-term and transgenerational memory of drought
stress through epigenetic regulation of transcription for a better response to subsequent …

The ability of plants to cope with abiotic environmental stresses such as drought, salinity,
heat, cold or flooding relies on flexible mechanisms for re-programming gene expression …

Cellular water-deficit stress triggers many changes in gene expression which can be used to
define the response of a plant to an environmental condition. Microarray technology permits …
