Wheat constitutes pivotal position for ensuring food and nutritional security; however, rapidly
rising soil and water salinity pose a serious threat to its production globally. Salinity stress …

Salinity is a consistent factor of crop productivity loss in the world and in particular arid and
semi-arid areas where the soil salinity and saline water are major problems. Plants employ …

Water and salt stress often occur simultaneously in heavily irrigated arid agricultural areas,
yet they are usually studied in isolation. To understand the physiological bases of water use …

Cereal yield and grain quality may be impaired by environmental factors associated with
climate change. Major factors, including elevated CO2 concentration ([CO2]), elevated …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, and, as a resilient
cereal, it grows in various climatic zones. Due to changing climatic conditions and naturally …

Durum wheat is a staple crop for the Mediterranean diet because of its adaptability to
environmental pressure and for its large use in cereal-based food products, such as pasta …

Food security is projected to be threatened by increasing co-occurring stresses (eg, drought
and salinity) under global climate change. To mitigate major impacts on food production, the …

Abiotic constraints such as salinity stress reduce cereal production. Salicylic acid is an
elicitor of abiotic stress tolerance in plants. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

Breeding of high-yielding and stable durum wheat varieties with improved kernel
characteristics is needed for dry regions around the globe. The aim of this study was to …

Eight Trichoderma strains were evaluated for their potential to protect wheat seedlings
against severe (no irrigation within two weeks) water stress (WS). Considering the plant …
