Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is often considered as a drought sensitive crop and its
sustainable production is threatened due to frequent drought episodes. There has been …

Pathogen entry into host tissue is a critical first step in causing infection. For foliar bacterial
plant pathogens, natural surface openings, such as stomata, are important entry sites …

Levels of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) are changed dynamically in response to
environmental conditions. The ABA 8′-hydroxylase is a key enzyme in ABA catabolism and …

Water is one of the most important substances for both plant and animal survival. Plants
require water for photosynthesis, nutrient uptake and transportation as well as cooling …

High relative air humidity (RH≥ 85%) is frequent in controlled environments, and not
uncommon in nature. In this review, we examine the high RH effects on plants with a special …

Currently, climate change is threatening farming opportunities to feed a growing population,
making necessary the implementation of worldwide cultivable lands, also through the …

ABSTRACT Plants developed under high (90%) relative air humidity (RH) have previously
been shown to have large, malfunctioning stomata, which results in high water loss during …

The cut flower industry has a global reach as flowers are often produced in countries around
the equator and transported by plane or ship (reefer) mostly to the global north. Vase-life …

To better understand the poor regulation of water loss after leaf development at high relative
air humidity (RH), the relative importance of the physiological and anatomical components …

Changing atmospheric CO2 levels, climate, and air humidity affect plant gas exchange that
is controlled by stomata, small pores on plant leaves and stems formed by guard cells …
