Drought poses serious threats to global crop production and its intensity is continuously
soaring due to global warming. Brassica napus L. is an essential oilseed crop with an …

Plant productivity is impacted by drought stress, which adversely affects their morphological
and physiological processes. In response, the plant activates its defense mechanisms, but …

Water stress encumbers the rapeseed growth and development primarily by oxidative
alteration to biological membranes and interrupted tissue water status. Seedling tolerance to …

Rapeseed is a valuable oil crop due to its high nutritious value and ample oil content. The
current study provides a comparative analysis of 24 cultivars to better understand the …

The germination of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seeds is affected by drought stress;
however, little is known about the physiological mechanism affecting germination and the …

Drought stress (DS) challenges sustainable agriculture production by limiting crop growth
and development. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of melatonin-priming …

Globally, the increase in climatic variability is responsible for more frequent extreme heat
and drought stress events. Heat and water stress have a devastating impact on plant growth …

Climate change will have major impacts on crop production: not just increasing drought and
heat stress, but also increasing insect and disease loads and the chance of extreme weather …

The edible oil production in China is highly dependent on the screening and development of
drought-resistant rapeseed cultivars especially in water stress areas. However, for the …

Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses and hampers many plant physiological
processes under suboptimal nitrogen (N) concentration. Seedling tolerance to drought …
