In field conditions, crops are adversely affected by a wide range of abiotic stresses including
drought, cold, salt, and heat, as well as biotic stresses including pests and pathogens. These …

The progression of life in all forms is not only dependent on agricultural and food security but
also on the soil characteristics. The dynamic nature of soil is a direct manifestation of soil …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in the acclimation process of plants to abiotic
stress. They primarily function as signal transduction molecules that regulate different …

Plants are colonized on their surfaces and in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere by a
multitude of different microorganisms and are inhabited internally by endophytes. Most …

Soil salinization affecting different crops is one of the serious threats to global food security.
Soil salinity affects 20% and 33% of the total cultivated and irrigated agricultural lands …

Soil is a living entity and it is not only a valuable natural resource in agricultural and food
security but it is also towards maintenance of all life process. Agricultural productivity rests …

Adaptive plant responses to specific abiotic stresses or biotic agents are fine-tuned by a
network of hormonal signaling cascades, including abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, jasmonic …

Adaptive responses of plants are important not only for local processes in populations and
communities but also for global processes in the biosphere through the primary production …

Salt and drought stress are major environmental issues world-widely. These stresses can
result in failures of seed germination, limiting agricultural production. New approaches are …

Soil salinization has become a major issue around the world in recent years, as it is one of
the consequences of climate change as sea levels rise. It is crucial to lessen the severe …
