Drought is one of the major constraints to rain-fed agricultural production, especially under
climate change conditions. Plants evolved an array of adaptive strategies that perceive …

Plant-microbe interactions dynamically affect plant growth, health, and development. The
mechanisms underpinning these associations are—to a large extent—mediated by …

Flavonoids are characterized as the low molecular weight polyphenolic compounds
universally distributed in planta. They are a chemically varied group of secondary …

In the growth condition (s) of plants, numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) are produced
by them to serve variety of cellular functions essential for physiological processes, and …

The drought stress responses of vascular plants are complex regulatory mechanisms
because they include various physiological responses from signal perception under water …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are vital for human health and constitute the skeletal
framework of many pharmaceutical drugs. Indeed, more than 25% of the existing drugs …

Water deficiency compromises plant performance and yield in many habitats and in
agriculture. In addition to survival of the acute drought stress period which depends on plant …

The current world of climate change, global warming and a constantly changing
environment have made life very stressful for living entities, which has driven the evolution of …

Global warming is the major cause of abiotic and biotic stresses that reduce plant growth
and productivity. Various stresses such as drought, low temperature, pathogen attack, high …
