Exposure of crops to stress is the most significant barrier to agricultural output and food
security worldwide. Stress induces changes in plants' physiological functions, which leads to …

Crop plants encounter a complex set of abiotic and biotic stresses very frequently. Abiotic
stresses, being unavoidable, have major negative impact on crop production worldwide …

Plants are often exposed to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, cold, and heavy
metals that induce complex responses, which result in reduced growth as well as crop yield …

Abiotic stress is a major threat to the farming community, biasing the crop productivity in arid
and semi-arid regions of the world. The seed is an important component of agriculture …

Plants are exposed to any number of potentially adverse environmental conditions such as
water deficit, high salinity, extreme temperature, submergence, etc. These abiotic stresses …

Seed is the prime input in agriculture sector, and production of quality seed is the immense
challenge in front of agriculturist to achieve the goal of food security. Present sceario …

Drought is a serious threat to the farming community, biasing the crop productivity in arid
and semi-arid regions of the world. Drought adversely affects seed germination, plant …

Salinization is one of the greatest threats in agriculture field limiting the growth and
productivity of crops. Soil salinization directly affects the physiological, biochemical, and …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect crop production in arid and semiarid
areas. Seed germination and seedling growth are the stages most sensitive to salinity. Salt …

Plants under natural conditions often face multiple environmental constraints in terms of
submergence, temperature extremes, salinity, and drought stress. Plant growth and …
