Background Drought stress is the major environmental stress that affects plant growth and
productivity. It triggers a wide range of responses detectable at molecular, biochemical and …

Wheat is one of the most important cereals, whose growth and development is strongly
limited by drought. This study investigated the physiological and metabolic response of six …

Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AMs) have the ability to enhance drought tolerance of citrus, but the

Polyamines (PAs) have been suggested to be implicated in plant responses to abiotic and
biotic stress. Grapevine is a model perennial plant species whose cultivars respond …

Heat stress is one of the most detrimental abiotic stresses to impede plant growth and
development. Previous studies found that plant roots were more sensitive to heat stress than …

The comparative responses of ten spring wheat cultivars to water stress were investigated.
Wheat plants were cultured under hydroponics conditions (Hoagland nutrient) to the stage of …

Introduction Artemisinin is a secondary metabolite well-known for its use in the treatment of
