Global climate change in the form of extreme heat and drought poses a major challenge to
sustainable crop production by negatively affecting plant performance and crop yield. Such …

The contamination of soils and water with metals has created a major environmental
problem, leading to considerable losses in plant productivity and hazardous health effects …

Salt stress critically affects the physiological processes and morphological structure of
plants, resulting in reduced plant growth. Salicylic acid (SA) is an important signal molecule …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

The accumulation of compatible solutes is often regarded as a basic strategy for the
protection and survival of plants under abiotic stress conditions, including both salinity and …

Because most commercial potato cultivars were developed in temperate regions, they are
adapted, therefore producing the greatest yield under long photoperiods and moderate …

Salt accumulation in irrigated soils is a worldwide hazard to plants, which adversely reduces
crop productivity. Broccoli is considered moderately tolerant to salinity. Melatonin is a …

Soil salinity is one of the most severe factors limiting growth and physiological response in
Raphanus sativus. In this study, the possible role of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) …

Despite the intensive management practices available to modern agriculture, drought and
salinity are still major constraints on crop production and food security. Yield losses to …

Salinity could damage cellular membranes through overproduction of reactive oxygen
species (ROS), while antioxidant capacities play a vital role in protecting plants from salinity …
