Legumes represent an important source of food protein for human nutrition and animal feed.
Therefore, sustainable production of legume crops is an issue of global importance. It is well …

Uncovering the molecular mechanisms involved in the responses of crops to drought is
crucial to understand and enhance drought tolerance mechanisms. Sugarcane (Saccharum …

Salinity is one of the major environmental problems threatening crops production, especially
in semiarid and arid areas of the world. Melatonin, a growth regulator, has recently been …

Carbonyl stress occurs when reactive carbonyl compounds (RCC), such as reducing sugars,
dicarbonyls etc., accumulate in the organism. The interaction of RCC carbonyl groups with …

Drought dramatically affects crop productivity worldwide. For legumes this effect is especially
pronounced, as their symbiotic association with rhizobia is highly-sensitive to dehydration …

In maize (Zea mays L.) production, grain-filling stage is a pivotal phase that drought
occurring would irreversibly cause leaf senescence and yield loss. Meanwhile, drought …
