Plant drought tolerance depends on adaptations of the photosynthetic apparatus to
changing environments triggered by water deficit. The seedlings of three Brassica crops …

Drought tolerance is the essential trait that needs to be incorporated in cereal crops,
particularly those grown under the rainfed cultivation. Understanding the biophysical basis …

Jatropha curcas plants were cultivated during 4 months in pots containing soil at 90% of field
capacity (FC), in permanent drought at 30% of FC and in extreme drought without any …

Abnormally altered precipitation patterns induced by climate change have profound global
effects on crop production. However, the plant functional responses to various precipitation …

Although plant physiological responses to drought have been widely studied, the interaction
between photoprotection, photorespiration and antioxidant metabolism in water-stressed …

The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of water deficit and recovery on growth,
photosynthesis and water relations in four Medicago laciniata populations from saharian (Ml …

The initial photochemical quantum efficiency of photosystem II (F v/F m) and performance
index (PI), describing the ability of the photosynthetic apparatus to collect light energy, have …

Drought stress is one of the major factors that are associated with growth limitation of many
plants. Plants under water deficit stress exhibit decline in photosynthetic rate, which is co …

The effects of drought acclimation on CO2 assimilation and light utilization were investigated
in two sunflower genotypes (Helianthus annuus L., T32 and Viki) in relation to water deficit …

Agriculture has been adversely affected by the low water availability resulting from climate
change, creating environmental stress for the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). A …
