Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and
extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their …

Environmental insults such as extremes of temperature, extremes of water status, and
deteriorating soil conditions pose major threats to agriculture and food security. Employing …

Plants are often subjected to unfavorable environmental conditions–abiotic factors, causing
abiotic stresses-that play a major role in determining productivity of crop yields [1] but also …

Abiotic stress is the primary cause of crop loss worldwide, reducing average yields for most
major crop plants by more than 50%. Plants as sessile organisms are constantly exposed to …

Plant responses to different stresses are highly complex and involve changes at the
transcriptome, cellular, and physiological levels. Recent evidence shows that plants respond …

Abiotic stresses such as extremes of temperature and pH, high salinity and drought,
comprise some of the major factors causing extensive losses to crop production worldwide …

Facing stressful conditions imposed by their environment that could affect their growth and
their development throughout their life cycle, plants must be able to perceive, to process …

Mechanisms that protect against abiotic stress are essential for plant survival, yet their
activation generally comes at the expense of growth and productivity, which is particularly …

Drought, cold, high-salinity and heat are major abiotic stresses that severely reduce the yield
of food crops worldwide. Traditional plant breeding approaches to improve abiotic stress …

Environmental stresses such as drought, heat, and salinity limit plant development and
agricultural productivity. While individual stresses have been studied extensively, much less …
