Water deficiency compromises plant performance and yield in many habitats and in
agriculture. In addition to survival of the acute drought stress period which depends on plant …

Soil flooding creates composite and complex stress in plants known as either submergence
or waterlogging stress depending on the depth of the water table. In nature, these stresses …

Cell walls are highly dynamic structures that provide mechanical support for plant cells
during growth, development and adaptation to a changing environment. Thus, it is important …

Timely perception of adverse environmental changes is critical for survival. Dynamic
changes in gases are important cues for plants to sense environmental perturbations, such …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule in plant physiology. However, its production in
photosynthetic organisms remains partially unresolved. The best characterized NO …

In this year there is the 40th anniversary of the first publication of plant nitric oxide (NO)
emission by Lowell Klepper. In the decades since then numerous milestone discoveries …

Abiotic stresses, such as temperature extremes, drought, salinity, and heavy metals are
major factors limiting crop productivity and sustainability worldwide. Abiotic stresses disturb …

The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their applications have attracted
many researchers as the AgNPs are used effectively in targeting specific tissues and …

Temperature is one of the main environmental factors that affect plant metabolism.
Considering that plants are sessile, their survival depends on the efficient activation of …

In agricultural cropping systems, relatively large amounts of nitrogen (N) are applied for
plant growth and development, and to achieve high yields. However, with increasing N …
