Global climate change is identified as a major threat to survival of natural ecosystems.
Climate change is a dynamic, multifaceted system of alterations in environmental conditions …

Maize is grown under a wide spectrum of soil and climatic conditions. Maize is moderately
sensitive to salt stress; therefore, soil salinity is a serious threat to its production worldwide …

Key message Intensive public sector breeding efforts and public-private partnerships have
led to the increase in genetic gains, and deployment of elite climate-resilient maize cultivars …

Global climate change is the major cause of abiotic and biotic stresses that have adverse
effects on agricultural productivity to an irreversible level, thus threatening to limit gains in …

Iron (Fe) bioavailability to plants is reduced in saline soils; however, the exact mechanisms
underlying this effect are not yet completely understood. Siderophore-expressing …

Abiotic stresses are important constraints limiting crop productivity worldwide. Salinity is one
of the most devastating environmental factors restraining the production of crops. It is …

The present study aimed at determining the morphological and physiological response of
five different Coleus species under salinity stress. Salinity is one of the major abiotic stress …

BACKGROUND Using water with high salinity for plant fertigation may have detrimental
effects on plant development and total yield and on the quality of the crop produced. As a …

High-throughput sequencing technologies (HSTs) have revolutionized crop breeding. The
advent of these technologies has enabled the identification of beneficial quantitative trait loci …

Salt-induced changes in growth, photosynthetic pigments, various gas exchange
characteristics, relative membrane permeability (RMP), relative water content (RWC) and ion …
