Climate change has devastating effects on plant growth and yield. During ontogenesis,
plants are subjected to a variety of abiotic stresses, including drought and salinity, affecting …

Salinity stress is considered the most devastating abiotic stress for crop productivity.
Accumulating different types of soluble proteins has evolved as a vital strategy that plays a …

The ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters belong to a large protein family predominantly
present in diverse species. ABC transporters are driven by ATP hydrolysis and can act as …

Cotton is classified as moderately salt tolerant crop with salinity threshold level of 7.7 dS m−
1. Salinity is a serious threat for cotton growth, yield and fiber quality. The sensitivity to salt …

Key message An overview is presented of recent advances in our knowledge of candidate
proteins that regulate various physiological and biochemical processes underpinning plant …

Background Environmental stress is a crucial factor restricting plant growth as well as crop
productivity, thus influencing the agricultural sustainability. Biochar addition is proposed as …

Since the original discovery of a Universal Stress Protein (USP) in Escherichia coli, a
number of USPs have been identified from diverse sources including archaea, bacteria …

About 20% of all irrigated land is adversely affected by salinity hazards and therefore
understanding plant defense mechanisms against salinity will have great impact on plant …

Drought severely limits global plant distribution and agricultural production. Elucidating the
physiological and molecular mechanisms governing alfalfa stress responses will contribute …

Salinity is a critical issue impairing the growth and productivity of most crop species through
the mediated ionic and osmotic imbalances. As a way forward, the current study was tailored …
