Turfgrasses constitute a vital part of the landscape ecological systems for sports fields, golf
courses, home lawns and parks. However, turfgrass species are affected by numerous …

Plants usually tolerate drought by producing organic solutes, which can either act as
compatible osmolytes for maintaining turgor, or radical scavengers for protecting cellular …

Seedling survival, growth, and yield are highly associated with seed germination
performance. Germination of rapeseed differs under NaCl stress among cultivars, but the …

Soil aridification and desertification are particularly prominent in China's karst areas,
severely limiting crop yields and vegetation restoration. Therefore, it is very important to …

High salinity is one of the major environmental stresses that plants encounter. Roots are the
initial and direct organs to perceive the signal. However, how plant roots perceive and …

Abstract Background Manganese (Mn), an essential element for plants, can be toxic when

Drought stress affects growth and productivity significantly in chickpea. An integrated multi-
omics analysis can provide a better molecular-level understanding of drought stress …

Plant survival in adverse environmental conditions requires a substantial change in the
metabolism, which is reflected by the extensive transcriptome rebuilding upon the …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are plant growth promoters that ameliorate plant-water
relations and the nutrient uptake of wheat. In this work, two cultivars of Triticum spp., a bread …

Drought stress is a serious problem worldwide that reduces crop productivity. The laser has
been shown to play a positive physiological role in enhancing plant seedlings tolerance to …
