Anthropogenic activities in the past and present eras have created global warming and
consequently a storm of drought stress, affecting both plants and animals. Being sessile …

Drought stress is a serious limiting factor to rice production, which results in huge economic
losses. It is becoming a more serious issue with respect to the global climate change …

Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) is an essential constituent of the global food chain. Drought stress
significantly diminished its productivity and threatened global food security. This review …

Drought is the leading threat to agricultural food production, especially in the cultivation of
rice, a semi-aquatic plant. Drought tolerance is a complex quantitative trait with a …

Global food shortages are caused mainly by drought, the primary driver of yield loss in
agriculture worldwide. Drought stress negatively impacts the physiological and …

The major challenges that agriculture is facing in the twenty-first century are increasing
droughts, water scarcity, flooding, poorer soils, and extreme temperatures due to climate …

Microbial inoculation in drought challenged rice triggered multipronged steps at enzymatic,
non-enzymatic and gene expression level. These multifarious modulations in plants were …

Iron (Fe) deficiency and toxicity are the most widely prevalent soil-related micronutrient
disorders in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Progress in rice cultivars with improved tolerance has …

WRKY transcription factors are essential to plant growth, development, resistance, and the
regulation of metabolic pathways. In this study, we characterized TaWRKY17, a WRKY …

Leaf senescence, which is the last developmental phase of plant growth, is controlled by
multiple genetic and environmental factors. Leaf yellowing is a visual indicator of …
