Plants subjected to abiotic stresses such as extreme high and low temperatures, drought or
salinity, often exhibit decreased vegetative growth and reduced reproductive capabilities …

Selection for drought-tolerant cereal varieties has successfully moved to screening for grain
yield under stress. Grain yield is the culmination of the process of grain filling, which in turn …

Plants are continuously exposed to various environmental stresses, which cause alteration
in every physiological and biochemical pathway. Plants have evolved several mechanisms …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important winter cereal crop grown in the semiarid
Mediterranean, where late‐terminal drought stress during grain filling has recently become …

Plants are sessile organisms which encounter a variety of stresses at every developmental
stage of their life. The phylosphere as well as the rhizosphere encounter abiotic stresses …

The number of seeds and seed yield per plant were higher in chickpea crops raised from
water and mannitol (4%) primed seeds in comparison with the control non‐primed crops. In …

We review current knowledge of the most abundant sugars, sucrose, maltose, glucose and
fructose, in the world's major crop plants. The sucrose‐accumulating crops, sugar beet and …

The reduced nutrient and water availability of the sorption‐weak silty sand soil in Thyrow
when compared with the loamy sand soil in Berge enhanced the negative effects of …

The effect of drought stress and abscisic acid (ABA) applied at tillering stage (55 days after
sowing) was compared in 2 wheat cultivars differing in drought tolerance. The activities of …

Abstract Chilling stress (< 10° C) is detrimental for chickpea, especially at the reproductive
phase and leads to abortion of flowers, pods and impaired seed filling, causing severe …
