In natural or agricultural environments, plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of
biotic and abiotic stresses. Given the forecasted global climate changes, plants will cope …

In the wake of shrinking arable land and widespread changes in climate, global agriculture
is threatened. Global losses in agricultural production due to abiotic stresses are estimated …

In field conditions, plants are often simultaneously exposed to multiple biotic and abiotic
stresses resulting in substantial yield loss. Plants have evolved various physiological and …

Being sessile organisms, plants are constantly exposed to various kinds of environmental
stimuli. To survive under unfavorable environmental conditions they have evolved strategies …

Agricultural productivity depends on increasingly extreme weather phenomena, and the use
of germplasm that has to be continuously improved by plant breeders to become tolerant to …

Plants cannot move, so they must endure abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and
extreme temperatures. These stressors greatly limit the distribution of plants, alter their …

Plant responses to different stresses are highly complex and involve changes at the
transcriptome, cellular, and physiological levels. Recent evidence shows that plants respond …

In nature, plants are exposed to an ever-changing environment with increasing frequencies
of multiple abiotic stresses. These abiotic stresses act either in combination or sequentially …

Drought, cold, high-salinity and heat are major abiotic stresses that severely reduce the yield
of food crops worldwide. Traditional plant breeding approaches to improve abiotic stress …

Climate change is altering environments in which plants and different crops grow and
survive. We already experienced an increase in worldwide average earth surface …
