Salinity stress is one of the major abiotic stresses threatening sustainable crop production
worldwide. The extent of salinity affected area is expected to cover about 50% of total …

The sessile nature of plants' life is endowed with a highly evolved defense system to adapt
and survive under environmental extremes. To combat such stresses, plants have …

Unplanned urbanization and heavy automobile use by the rapidly growing population
contribute to a variety of environmental issues. Roadside plants can mitigate air pollution by …

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 …

Main conclusion Plant osmoprotectants protect against abiotic stresses. Introgression of
osmoprotectant genes into crop plants via genetic engineering is an important strategy in …

Salinity is an important abiotic environmental stress factor threatening agricultural
productivity throughout the world. The detrimental effects of salinity stress are observed at …

Abiotic stresses rewire plant central metabolism to maintain metabolic and energy
homeostasis. Metabolites involved in the plant central metabolic network serve as a hub for …

Salinity is one of the major constraints to plant growth and development across the globe
that leads to the huge crop productivity loss. Salinity stress causes impairment in plant's …

Soluble sugars are metabolic substrates that play a fundamental role in controlling several
processes in diverse plant developmental phases. Sugars such as glucose, sucrose and …

Abiotic stresses are major limiting factors that pose severe threats to agricultural production.
Conventional breeding has significantly improved crop productivity in the last century, but …
