Plants are subjected to several abiotic stresses that adversely affect growth, metabolism and
yield. The dynamic research in plant genetics complemented by genome sequencing has …

Agriculture faces a constant challenge to increase crop production annually in response to
human population growth. As land and water resources become limiting, high-yielding crops …

Drought stress is one of the major limitations to crop productivity. To develop crop plants with
enhanced tolerance of drought stress, a basic understanding of physiological, biochemical …

Plants respond to survive under water-deficit conditions via a series of physiological,
cellular, and molecular processes culminating in stress tolerance. Many drought-inducible …

Drought is a severe environmental constraint to plant productivity. Being a multidimensional
stress, it triggers a wide variety of plant responses ranging from physiological, biochemical …

The ability of plants to tolerate drought conditions is crucial for agricultural production
worldwide. Recent progress has been made in our understanding of gene expression …

Plant responses to drought stress have been analyzed extensively to reveal complex
regulatory gene networks, including the detection of water deficit signals, as well as the …

Nature provides all necessary components for healthy growth and development of plants in
the form of air, water, light, nutrients, and soil. Any imbalance in the environmental harmony …

Climate change is a major global concern that can make agriculture even more risk prone,
especially in the developing world. The water deficit of soil causes environmental problems …

Plants cope with drought stress by manipulating key physiological processes like
photosynthesis, respiration, water relations, antioxidant and hormonal metabolism. There …
