The impact of drought events on the growth and yield of wheat plants has been extensively
reported; however, limited information is available on the changes in physiological …

The proper response to various abiotic stresses is essential for plants' survival to overcome
their sessile nature, especially for perennial trees with very long-life cycles. However, in …

The importance of drought as a constraint to agriculture and forestry is increasing with
climate change. Genetic improvement of plants' resilience is one of the mitigation strategies …

Abiotic stresses, such as temperature (heat and cold), salinity, and drought negatively affect
plant productivity; hence, the molecular responses of abiotic stresses need to be …
