Salinity stress is one of the primary threats to agricultural crops resulting in impaired crop
growth and development. Although cotton is considered as reasonably salt tolerant, it is …

Upland cotton is an important global cash crop for its long seed fibers and high edible oil
and protein content. Progress in cotton genomics promotes the advancement of cotton …

Environmental factors are the major constraints in sustainable agriculture. WRKY proteins
are a large family of transcription factors (TFs) that regulate various developmental …

Drought and salinity are the major environmental abiotic stresses that negatively impact crop
development and yield. To improve yields under abiotic stress conditions, drought-and …

In environmental conditions, crop plants are extremely affected by multiple abiotic stresses
including salinity, drought, heat, and cold, as well as several biotic stresses such as pests …

Drought stress hinders the growth and development of crop plants and ultimately its
productivity. It is expected that drought stress will be frequent and intense in the future due to …

Salinity is a natural and anthropogenic process that plants overcome using various
responses. Salinity imposes a two-phase effect, simplified into the initial osmotic challenges …

Background Crops face several environmental stresses (biotic and abiotic), thus resulting in
severe yield losses. Around the globe abiotic stresses are the main contributors of plant …

Drought and low-temperature stresses are the most prominent abiotic stresses affecting
cotton. Wild cotton being exposed to harsh environments has more potential to cope with …

Leaf senescence reduces the photosynthetic capacity of leaves, thus significantly affecting
the growth, development, and yield formation of cotton. Melatonin (MT) is a multipotent …
