Given their sessile nature, plants continuously face unfavorable conditions throughout their
life cycle, including water scarcity, extreme temperatures and soil pollution. Among all, metal …

Chlorophyll a fluorescence rise caused by illumination of photosynthetic samples by high
intensity of exciting light, the O–J–I–P (O–I1–I2–P) transient, is reviewed here. First, basic …

We investigated the potential of salicylic acid (SA) in alleviating the adverse effects of heat
stress on photosynthesis in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv WH 711. Activity of ribulose 1, 5 …

Photosystem II (PSII) thermostability and acclimation effects on PSII photochemical efficiency
were analyzed in thirty field grown winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes using …

Background Due to its biennual life cycle Brassica oleracea is especially exposed to
seasonal changes in temperature that could limit its growth and fitness. Thermal stress could …

Water is a limited resource and is likely to become even more restricted with climate change.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of humic acid (HA) applications on …

There is increasing experimental evidence that strigolactones, a class of carotenoid-derived
sesquiterpenoid hormones, and their downstream signal components play a role in plant …

The impact of heat stress on the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus was examined
in pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants grown at control (25° C; 25° C‐plants) or moderately …

High temperatures negatively impact the yield and quality of fruit crops. Exogenous
melatonin (MT) application has been shown to enhance heat tolerance, but the response of …

In view of anthropogenic global warming, heat tolerance of a neotropical pioneer tree, Ficus
insipida Willd., was determined. Sections of sun leaves from a mature tree and from …
