Abiotic stresses, such as drought, high temperature, and salinity, affect plant growth and
productivity. Furthermore, global climate change may increase the frequency and severity of …

Abiotic stresses are major constrain in agriculture development, which results in a significant
decline in crop productivity. Conferring abiotic stress in plants is relatively a complex …

Cold stress is one of the most limiting factors for plant growth and development. Cold stress
adversely affects plant physiology, molecular and biochemical processes by determining …

Introduction/Background Direct-seeded rice is exceptionally vulnerable to chilling stress,
especially at the seed germination and seedling growth stages in the early season of the …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an annual grass that originated in tropical and subtropical regions of
the New World. Maize is highly sensitive to cold stress during seed gemination and the …

Chilling stress is one of the major abiotic stresses which hinder seedling emergence and
growth. Herein, we investigated the effects of chilling/low temperature stress on the …

Biotic and abiotic stresses, especially heavy metal toxicity, are becoming a big problem in
agriculture, which pose serious threats to crop production. Plant hormones have recently …

epibrassinolide (EBR) treatment has the effect of reducing chilling injury (CI) on many kinds
of fruits. However, the effect on loquat fruit is unknown. The impacts of 15 μM EBR in …

Upon exposure to cold stress (CS), crop plants face an array of detrimental effects on
growth, development, and final yield. Seed germination, seedling emergence, leaf number …

Grape berries contain a variety of metabolites, such as anthocyanins, sugars, fatty acids, and
antioxidants. Endogenous phytohormones strongly influence these metabolites, which …
