Plant physiological status is the interaction between the plant genome and the prevailing
growth conditions. Accurate characterization of plant physiology is, therefore, fundamental to …

Heat and drought stress frequently occur together, however, their impact on plant growth
and photosynthesis (PN) is unclear. The frequency, duration and severity of heat and …

Leaf gas exchange is central to the analysis of photosynthetic processes and the
development of more productive, water efficient and stress tolerant crops. This has led to a …

Heat waves are predicted to increase in frequency and duration in many regions as global
temperatures rise. These transient increases in temperature above normal average values …

Agricultural production is predicted to be adversely affected by an increase in drought and
heatwaves. Drought and heat damage cellular membranes, such as the thylakoid …

Filter mud (FM) as an organic ameliorant might benefit in improving soil-and water-stressed
crop productivity. However, the beneficial FM's effects on soil and crop performance under …

In this study, we investigated the effects of water-deficit stress on the leaf anatomical traits,
physiological traits, and stem starch content in Quercus acutissima Carruth and Quercus …

Drought is one of the most important constraints to crop productivity worldwide. Control of
plant responses to drought is very complex. The mechanisms and their intensity may differ …

Crop wild resources are excellent sources of new genetic variation for resilience against
climate extremes. However, detailed characterization of the desirable phenotypes is …

Xylem hydraulic adjustment to global climatic changes was reported from temperate, boreal,
and Mediterranean tree species. Yet, the long-term hydraulic adjustment in tropical tree …
