Drought stress, which causes a decline in quality and quantity of crop yields, has become
more accentuated these days due to climatic change. Serious measures need to be taken to …

Salinity is a growing problem affecting soils and agriculture in many parts of the world. The
presence of salt in plant cells disrupts many basic metabolic processes, contributing to …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

The drought stress responses of vascular plants are complex regulatory mechanisms
because they include various physiological responses from signal perception under water …

Plants face a variety of abiotic stresses, which generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and
ultimately obstruct normal growth and development of plants. To prevent cellular damage …

Drought stress is a serious limiting factor to rice production, which results in huge economic
losses. It is becoming a more serious issue with respect to the global climate change …

Metabolic regulation is the key mechanism implicated in plants maintaining cell osmotic
potential under drought stress. Understanding drought stress tolerance in plants will have a …

Crop yield loss due to soil salinization is an increasing threat to agriculture worldwide. Salt
stress drastically affects the growth, development, and grain productivity of rice (Oryza sativa …

Drought is the leading threat to agricultural food production, especially in the cultivation of
rice, a semi-aquatic plant. Drought tolerance is a complex quantitative trait with a …

Abstract Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P), the intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis, is an
essential signal metabolite in plants, linking growth and development to carbon status. The …
