Plants face a combination of different abiotic stresses under field conditions which are lethal
to plant growth and production. Simultaneous occurrence of chilling and drought stresses in …

Plant growth and productivity is adversely affected by nature's wrath in the form of various
biotic and abiotic stress factors. Water deficit is one of the major abiotic stresses, which …

We report the draft genome of the black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa. Integration of
shotgun sequence assembly with genetic mapping enabled chromosome-scale …

Limited information on likely supply and spatial yield of bioenergy crops exists for the UK.
Here, productivities are reported of poplar (Populus spp.) and willow (Salix spp.) grown as …

Photosynthetic assimilation of atmospheric carbon dioxide by land plants offers the
underpinnings for terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration. A proportion of the C captured in plant …

Drought is considered as one of the major limiting factors affecting growth and productivity of
crop plants. It severely affects the morphological and physiological activities of the plants …

Climatic models indicated that in this century, both average temperatures and extreme
