The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Temperature influences the seasonal growth and geographical distribution of plants. Heat or
cold stress occur when temperatures exceed or fall below the physiological optimum ranges …

Being rooted in place, plants are faced with the challenge of responding to unfavourable
local conditions. One such condition, heat stress, contributes massively to crop losses …

Plant growth regulators are naturally biosynthesized chemicals in plants that influence
physiological processes. Their synthetic analogous trigger numerous biochemical and …

In recent times, the demand for food and feed for the ever-increasing population has
achieved unparalleled importance, which cannot afford crop yield loss. Now-a-days, the …

Climate change-induced increases in the frequency of extreme weather events, particularly
heatwaves, are a serious threat to crop productivity. The productivity of grain crops is …

Heat stress during flowering has differential impact on male and female reproductive organ
viability leading to yield losses in field crops. Unlike flooded rice, dryland cereals such as …

Ethylene is a gaseous plant growth hormone that regulates various plant developmental
processes, ranging from seed germination to senescence. The mechanisms underlying …

The effect of exogenously-applied ethylene sourced from ethephon (2-chloroethyl
phosphonic acid) was studied on photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and high …

Because of the rise in global temperature, heat stress has become a major concern for crop
production. Heat stress deteriorates plant productivity and alters phenological and …
