Salinity-alkalinity is incipient abiotic stress that impairs plant growth and development. Rice
(Oryza sativa) is a major food crop greatly affected by soil salinity and alkalinity, requiring …

Barley seeds need to be able to germinate and establish seedlings in saline soils in
Mediterranean-type climates. Despite being a major cereal crop, barley has few reported …

The existence of salinity stress can be traced well before the domestication of crops, but the
documentation and mitigation of this menace started only 100 years ago. Due to the …

Salt stress is one of the major constraints to rice cultivation worldwide. Thus, the
development of salt-tolerant rice cultivars becomes a hotspot of current rice breeding …

Plasmopara viticola (Berk. et Curt.) Berl. and de Toni, the agent of downy mildew, is one of
the most important pathogens of European grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). Extensive evaluation …

Rice, generally classified as a typical glycophyte, often faces abiotic stresses such as
excessive drought, high salinity, prolonged submergence, cold, and temperature, which …

Yield is one of the most important agronomic traits for the breeding of rapeseed (Brassica
napus L), but its genetic dissection for the formation of high yield remains enigmatic, given …
