To realistically simulate climate feedbacks from the land surface to the atmosphere, models
must replicate the responses of plants to environmental changes. Several processes …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are plant products that are discontinuously distributed
throughout the plant kingdom. These secondary compounds have various chemical groups …

Various biotic and abiotic stress factors affect the growth and productivity of crop plants.
Particularly, the climatic and/or heavy metal stress influence various processes including …

Despite a range of initiatives to reduce global carbon emission, the mean global
