Area under vegetable cultivation is expanding in arid and semi-arid regions of the world to
meet the nutritional requirements of an ever-growing population. However, water scarcity in …

Among the effects of impending climate change, drought will have a profound impact on
crop productivity in the future. Response to drought stress has been studied widely, and the …

Background NPR1, nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related gene 1, is a master regulator
involved in plant defense response to pathogens, and its regulatory mechanism in the …

Saline–alkaline stress inhibits plant growth and reduces yield. Abscisic acid (ABA) is an
important plant hormone in response to plant stress. However, the role of ABA under saline …

Differences between antioxidant responses to drought in C3 and C4 plants are rather
scanty. Even, we are not aware of any research on comparative ROS formation and …

Inefficient chaperone activity in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes accumulation of
unfolded proteins and is called ER stress, which triggers the unfolded protein response. For …

Background Our study is the first to provide RNA-Seq data analysis related to transcriptomic
responses towards drought across different crops. The aim was to identify and map which …

Chlorophyll a fluorescence is a very useful tool in ecophysiological studies to analyze the
photosynthetic performance of plants under biotic and abiotic stresses. This research aimed …

Banana (Musa acuminata) fruit ripening under high temperatures (> 24° C) undergoes
green ripening due to failure of chlorophyll degradation, which greatly reduces marketability …

Phytohormones are chemical substances that regulate plants growth, reproductive
processes, longevity, development, and even death. One of the most common …
