Almost all crops that are important to humans are sensitive to high salt concentration in the
soil. The presence of salt in soil is one of the most significant abiotic stresses in farming …

In the context of climate change, the magnitude and frequency of temperature extremes (low
and high temperatures) are increasing worldwide. Changes to the lower extremes of …

A 2-year experiment was conducted to ascertain the effects of exogenously applied plant
growth regulators (PGR) on rice growth and yield attributes under high day (HDT) and high …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Water shortage is a severe threat to the sustainability of crop production. Exogenous
application of glycinebetaine (GB) and salicylic acid (SA) has been found very effective in …

The study, consisting of two independent experiments, was conducted to evaluate the role of
seed priming with ascorbic acid (AsA) in drought resistance of wheat. In the first experiment …

Rice performance under drought stress is mainly impeded by oxidative damage and
hampered plant water status, which may be improved by exogenous use of …

Drought stress encumbers the rice growth predominantly by oxidative damage to biological
membranes and disturbed tissue water status. In this study, the role of salicylic acid (SA) to …

The optimum temperature for maize germination is between 25 and 28° C. Poor and erratic
germination at suboptimal temperature is the most important hindrance in its early sowing …

Salicylic acid (SA) acts as an endogenous signal molecule responsible for inducing abiotic
stress tolerance in plants. In this study, the role of SA in improving drought tolerance in two …
