Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Water use efficiency (WUE) is defined as the amount of carbon assimilated as biomass or
grain produced per unit of water used by the crop. One of the primary questions being asked …

Drought stress restricts plant growth and development by altering metabolic activity and
biological functions. However, plants have evolved several cellular and molecular …

Drought stress, caused by lack of precipitation or irrigation, is one of the most challenging
problems in crop production in the US and worldwide. Drought alone affects 45% of the …

Drought is one of the most serious production constraint for world agriculture and is
projected to worsen with anticipated climate change. Inter-disciplinary scientists have been …

Plants cope with drought stress by manipulating key physiological processes like
photosynthesis, respiration, water relations, antioxidant and hormonal metabolism. There …

Water-use efficiency (WUE) is often considered an important determinant of yield under
stress and even as a component of crop drought resistance. It has been used to imply that …

Drought is the most significant environmental stress in agriculture worldwide and improving
yield under drought is a major goal of plant breeding. A review of breeding progress pointed …

Abiotic stresses, especially salinity and drought, are the primary causes of crop loss
worldwide. Plant adaptation to environmental stresses is dependent upon the activation of …

Water is the most important limiting factor of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) cropping systems in semi-arid conditions of Southern Punjab. A two …
