Abiotic stress is a primary threat to fulfill the demand of agricultural production to feed the
world in coming decades. Plants reduce growth and development process during stress …

Because of intense transpiration and growth, the needs of plants for water can be immense.
Yet water in the soil is most often heterogeneous if not scarce due to more and more …

Plant growth regulators are naturally biosynthesized chemicals in plants that influence
physiological processes. Their synthetic analogous trigger numerous biochemical and …

The current status of changing climate has become a significant threat to the global
production of horticultural crops. Phytohormones play a crucial role in providing a …

Stress signalling and regulatory networks controlling expression of target genes are the
basis of plant response to drought. Roots are the first organs exposed to water deficiency in …

Plants modulate root growth in response to changes in the local environment, guided by
intrinsic developmental genetic programs. The hormone Abscisic Acid (ABA) mediates …

Soil drying and re-wetting (DRW) occurs at varying frequencies and intensities during crop
production, and is deliberately used in water-saving irrigation techniques that aim to …

Efforts to boost crop yield and meet global food demands while striving to reach
sustainability goals are hindered by the increasingly severe impacts of abiotic stress, such …

Potato is a major global crop that has an important role to play in food security, reducing
poverty and improving human nutrition. Enhanced atmospheric CO 2 concentrations provide …

Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling plays a major role in root system development, regulating
growth and root architecture. However, the precise localization of ABA remains …
