Photosynthesis is an important remaining opportunity for further improvement in the genetic
yield potential of our major crops. Measurement, analysis, and improvement of leaf CO2 …

Cicer arietinum L. is the third greatest widely planted imperative pulse crop worldwide, and it
belongs to the Leguminosae family. Drought is the utmost common abiotic factor on plants …

The reproductive (gametophytic) phase in flowering plants is often highly sensitive to hot or
cold temperature stresses, with even a single hot day or cold night sometimes being fatal to …

Water limitation affects all types of organisms at some stage during their life cycle; therefore,
many strategies have been selected through evolution to cope with water deficit, including …

Although great progress has been made towards understanding the role of abscisic acid
(ABA) and sucrose in fruit ripening, the mechanisms underlying the ABA and sucrose …

The WRKY transcriptional factor superfamily regulates diverse functions, including
processes such as plant development and stress response. In this study, we have shown …

Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA)‐, stress‐, and ripening‐induced (ASR) proteins are reported to
be involved in abiotic stresses. However, it is not known whether ASR genes confer drought …

Chloroplasts are a key feature of most guard cells; however, the function of these organelles
in stomatal responses has been a subject of debate. This review examines evidence for and …

Heat stress at the pollen mother cell (PMC) meiotic stage leads to pollen sterility in rice, in
which the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and sugar homeostasis are always adversely …

Understanding how plants tolerate dehydration is a prerequisite for developing novel
strategies for improving drought tolerance. The desiccation-tolerant (DT) Sporobolus …
