Drought is one of the most catastrophic abiotic stresses that affects global food production
severely. The present work investigates the metabolic and physiological adaptation …

The response of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)-inoculated plants to environmental
stresses including drought stress is a complex phenomenon that involves activation or …

Now-a-days, plant-based extracts, as a cheap source of growth activators, are being widely
used to treat plants grown under extreme climatic conditions. So, a trial was conducted to …

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most valuable horticultural crops, not
only for its economic importance but also for its high nutritional value and sensory qualities …

Increased food demand and water scarcity require the efficient use of agricultural water.
Deficit irrigation (DI) can reduce water use with relatively small impacts to crop yield …

Drought is a significant abiotic stress that alters plant physiology and ultimately affects crop
productivity. Among essential plant nutrients, potassium (K) is known to mitigate the …

Climate change-induced abiotic stress hinders crop growth, providing a challenge to global
food security and agricultural sustainability. An effective approach to safeguard crop …

Water deficit can limit maize yield; therefore, appropriate choices of irrigation schemes or
water-saving irrigation strategies to maximize WUE are needed for sustainable agriculture in …

Flavonoids are secondary metabolites widely found in plants with antioxidants, of which
chalcone synthase (CHS) is a key enzyme required in flavonoid synthesis pathways. The …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) inoculants are sustainable biological materials that can
provide several benefits to plants, especially in disturbed agroecosystems and in the context …
