Temperature is one of the main environmental factors that affect plant metabolism.
Considering that plants are sessile, their survival depends on the efficient activation of …

Plants experience high temperature in many different ways and adaptation or acclimation to
high temperature occurs over different time scales and levels of plant organization …

The heat-shock response is a conserved reaction of cells and organisms to elevated
temperatures (heat shock or heat stress). Whereas severe heat stress leads to cellular …

Global climate changes particularly high temperature is predicted to have a general
negative effect on plant growth and development, that might lead to catastrophic loss of crop …

Among the abiotic environmental factors temperature is the most important factor which
significantly affects life processes of all organisms. Temperature stresses experienced by …

Apart from water availability, low temperature is the most important environmental factor
limiting the productivity and geographical distribution of plants across the world. To cope …

As sessile organisms, plants are unable to escape from the many abiotic and biotic factors
that cause a departure from optimal conditions of growth and development. Low temperature …

Background Climate change predictions indicate a progressive increase in average
temperatures and an increase in the frequency of heatwaves, which will have a negative …

Aim Tropical species are thought to be more susceptible to climate warming than are higher
latitude species. This prediction is largely based on the assumption that tropical species can …

Cold stress is a crucial environmental factor influencing growth and distribution and
possessing yield penalties. To survive in the cold, plants have evolved to use a range of …
