Abiotic stresses are the major environmental factors that play a significant role in decreasing
plant yield and production potential by influencing physiological, biochemical, and …

Drought stress, which causes a decline in quality and quantity of crop yields, has become
more accentuated these days due to climatic change. Serious measures need to be taken to …

Proline is a multifunctional amino acid that is accumulated in high concentrations in plants
under various stress conditions. Proline accumulation is intimately connected to many …

Climate change and abiotic stress factors are key players in crop losses worldwide. Among
which, extreme temperatures (heat and cold) disturb plant growth and development, reduce …

Soil salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses restricting the use of land for agriculture
because it limits the growth and development of most crop plants. Improving productivity …

Potassium, mostly as a cation (K+), together with calcium (Ca2+) are the most abundant
inorganic chemicals in plant cellular media, but they are rarely discussed. K+ is not a …

priming on the overall germination, physiology in maize thriving under salinity stress …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is known to confer stress tolerance; however, at elevated levels it
impairs plant growth under prolonged stress. Paradoxically, at its basal level, ABA plays …

Osmotic adjustment (OA) and cellular compatible solute accumulation are widely recognized
to have a role in plant adaptation to dehydration mainly through turgor maintenance and the …

Oxidative stress is common in plants growing under extreme environments, such as water
shortage, salinity, heavy metals, and temperature extremes. To overcome oxidative stress …
