Agriculture is largely dependent on climate and is highly vulnerable to climate change. The
global mean surface temperatures are increasing due to global climate change …

With the climate constantly changing, plants suffer more frequently from various abiotic and
biotic stresses. However, they have evolved biosynthetic machinery to survive in stressful …

Globally, environmental contamination by potentially noxious metalloids like arsenic is
becoming a critical concern to the living organisms. Arsenic is a non-essential metalloid for …

Climate change is threatening crop productivity worldwide and new solutions to adapt crops
to these environmental changes are urgently needed. Elevated temperatures driven by …

Heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s) are steadily gaining more attention in the field of plant
biotic interactions. Though their regulation and activity in plants are much less well …

Adaptive responses of plants are important not only for local processes in populations and
communities but also for global processes in the biosphere through the primary production …

Global climate change is predicted to result in increased yield losses of agricultural crops
caused by environmental conditions. In particular, heat and drought stress are major factors …

An increase in temperature and extreme heat stress is responsible for the global reduction in
maize yield. Heat stress affects the integrity of the plasma membrane functioning of …

Plants respond to various stresses by triggering the expression of genes that encode
proteins involved in plant growth, fruit ripening, cellular protein homeostasis, and tolerance …

Genome doubling in plants induces physiological and molecular changes to withstand
environmental stress. Diploid rice (D-2x) and its tetraploid (T-4x) plants were treated with 25 …
