Climate change is a major threat to most of the agricultural crops grown in tropical and sub-
tropical areas globally. Drought stress is one of the consequences of climate change that …

Increasing vulnerability of plants to a variety of stresses such as drought, salt and extreme
temperatures poses a global threat to sustained growth and productivity of major crops. Of …

Global warming has become one of the major challenges in maintaining global food
security. This paper reviews the impacts of climate change on fourteen strategic crops for …

Plant productivity is impacted by drought stress, which adversely affects their morphological
and physiological processes. In response, the plant activates its defense mechanisms, but …

Current predictions suggest that in temperate zones climate change will increase the
frequency of extreme events such as summer droughts, leading to deficit in water availability …

Plant–pollinator interactions are mediated by floral signals and by the quantity and quality of
floral rewards. Biotic and abiotic disturbances can influence plant reproductive success …

The WRKY transcription factor family has been associated with a variety of plant biological
processes, such as biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this study, 13 wheat TaWRKY …

Abstract Background NAC proteins (NAM (No apical meristem), ATAF (Arabidopsis
transcription activation factor) and CUC (cup-shaped cotyledon)) are plant-specific …

Global increase in water scarcity is a serious problem for sustaining crop productivity. The
lack of water causes the degeneration of the photosynthetic apparatus, an imbalance in key …

Pot experiments were performed to study the effects of abscisic acid (ABA) and melatonin
(MT) on cotton drought tolerance and to explore their combined effects. ABA or MT spraying …
