Metabolic regulation is the key mechanism implicated in plants maintaining cell osmotic
potential under drought stress. Understanding drought stress tolerance in plants will have a …

World population is expected to reach 9.2× 109 people by 2050. Feeding them will require a
boost in crop productivity using innovative approaches. Current agricultural production is …

Various compatible solutes enable plants to tolerate abiotic stress, and glycinebetaine (GB)
is one of the most‐studied among such solutes. Early research on GB focused on the …

The salinization and water deficit of soil are widespread environmental problems in limiting
plant survival, growth, and productivity. However, some plants could adopt some strategies …

Abiotic stresses collectively are responsible for crop losses worldwide. Among these,
drought and salinity are the most destructive. Different strategies have been proposed for …

Fully drought-resistant crop plants would be beneficial, but selection breeding has not
produced them. Genetic modification of species by introduction of very many genes is …

Excessive application of synthetic chemicals to crops is a serious environmental concern.
This review suggests that some potential natural compounds can be used as alternatives …

This book will shed light on the effect of salt stress on plants development, proteomics,
genomics, genetic engineering, and plant adaptations, among other topics. Understanding …

Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting crop production especially in arid and
semi-arid regions. It is reported that about 7% of the total earths land and 20% of the total …

One approach to understanding the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)‐scavenging systems
in plant stress tolerance is to manipulate the levels of antioxidant enzyme activities. In this …
