In field conditions, crops are adversely affected by a wide range of abiotic stresses including
drought, cold, salt, and heat, as well as biotic stresses including pests and pathogens. These …

The concept of biological adaptation was closely connected to some mathematical,
engineering and physical ideas from the very beginning. Cannon in his “The wisdom of the …

Background High temperature is one of the major abiotic stresses in tomato and greatly
reduces fruit yield and quality. Identifying high-temperature stress-responsive (HSR) genes …

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a staple food crops in the arid and rainfed production
ecologies. Sorghum plays a critical role in resilient farming and is projected as a smart crop …

When exposed to drought stress many plants reprogram their gene expression to activate
adaptive biochemical and physiological responses for survival. However, most of the well …

WRKY transcription factors regulate diverse biological processes in plants, including abiotic
and biotic stress responses, and constitute one of the largest transcription factor families in …

Sorghum anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum graminicola, is a destructive disease, and
increasing dependency on chemical fungicides for its control has serious environmental …

Abstract Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is an important tropical species of the
Poaceae family with wide distribution in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It is one of the …

Hydrogen gas (H 2) regulates plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Abscisic acid
(ABA) might alleviate the adverse effects of drought stress. However, the mechanisms by …

Uncovering the genetic basis of photosynthetic trait variation under drought stress is
essential for breeding climate-resilient walnut cultivars. To this end, we examined …
