Abiotic stresses collectively are responsible for crop losses worldwide. Among various
abiotic stresses, drought and salinity are the most destructive. Different strategies have been …

Plants regularly face adverse growth conditions, such as drought, salinity, chilling, freezing,
and high temperatures. These stresses can delay growth and development, reduce …

We quantified the biomass allocation patterns to leaves, stems and roots in vegetative
plants, and how this is influenced by the growth environment, plant size, evolutionary history …

Maize, the highest-yielding cereal crop worldwide, is particularly susceptible to drought
during its 2-to 3-week flowering period. Many genetic engineering strategies for drought …

▪ Abstract Plant responses to salinity stress are reviewed with emphasis on molecular
mechanisms of signal transduction and on the physiological consequences of altered gene …

Plants exposed to salt stress undergo changes in their environment. The ability of plants to
tolerate salt is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate retention and/or …

Plants respond with changes in their pattern of gene expression and protein products when
exposed to low temperatures. Thus ability to adapt has an impact on the distribution and …

Agricultural productivity worldwide is subject to increasing environmental constraints,
particularly to drought and salinity due to their high magnitude of impact and wide …

Environmental stresses come in many forms, yet the most prevalent stresses have in
common their effect on plant water status. The availability of water for its biological roles as …

▪ Abstract Molecular studies of drought stress in plants use a variety of strategies and include
different species subjected to a wide range of water deficits. Initial research has by necessity …
