Drought episodes decrease plant growth and productivity, which in turn cause high
economic losses. Plants naturally sense and respond to water stress by activating specific …

Backgorund Environmental stresses including abiotic stresses and biotic stresses limit yield
of plants. Stress-tolerant breeding is an efficient way to improve plant yield under stress …

Plants develop tolerance to drought by activating genes with altered levels of epigenetic
modifications. Specific transcription factors are involved in this activation, but the molecular …

Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling components play an important role in the drought stress
response in plants. Arabidopsis thaliana ENHANCED RESPONSE TO ABA1 (ERA1) …

Drought stress is primarily responsible for heavy yield losses and productivity in major crops
and possesses the greatest threat to the global food security. While conventional and …

Breeding of stress-tolerant plants is able to improve crop yield under stress conditions,
whereas CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has been shown to be an efficient way for molecular …

Plants are vulnerable to many environmental constraints which include drought, salinity,
extreme temperatures, heavy metals, etc., thereby posing damage to the development and …

Recent unpredictable climate change is the main reason for the decline in rice yield. In
particular, drought stress is a major constraint in reducing yield and quality for rice at rainfed …

Auxin controls multiple aspects of plant growth and development. However, its role in stress
responses remains poorly understood. Auxin acts on the transcriptional regulation of target …

Drought and other types of abiotic stresses negatively affect plant growth and crop yields.
The abscisic acid-, stress-, and ripening-induced (ASR) proteins play important roles in the …
