Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and associated climatic variability
is primarily responsible for inducing heat waves, flooding and drought stress. Among these …

The growth and yield of many crops, including cotton, are affected by water deficit. Cotton
has evolved drought specific as well as general morpho‐physiological, biochemical and …

Owing to changing climatic conditions, drought stress has emerged as a global issue
significantly affecting the production of cotton. Enhancing water use efficiency and …

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of abiotic stresses, especially
drought has become the major threat to cotton production worldwide due to long and intense …

Drought stress restricts plant growth and development by altering metabolic activity and
biological functions. However, plants have evolved several cellular and molecular …

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 …

Abiotic stress negatively influences survival, biomass production and crop yield. Being
multigenic as well as a quantitative trait, it is a challenge to understand the molecular basis …
