Global climate change is identified as a major threat to survival of natural ecosystems.
Climate change is a dynamic, multifaceted system of alterations in environmental conditions …

Various environmental stresses singly or in combination generate excess amounts of
reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress and impaired redox homeostasis …

Climate change has increased the overall impact of abiotic stress conditions such as
drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures on plants. Abiotic stress adversely affects the …

Water deficiency compromises plant performance and yield in many habitats and in
agriculture. In addition to survival of the acute drought stress period which depends on plant …

Anthropogenic activities in the past and present eras have created global warming and
consequently a storm of drought stress, affecting both plants and animals. Being sessile …

Chlorophyll fluorescence analysis is one of the most powerful and widely used techniques to
study the effect of stresses on the photosynthetic process. From the first utilization, the F v/F …

The frequency and severity of drought are increasing in the context of global warming.
Elucidating the responses of crop productivity to drought is essential for informing …

Drought stress restricts plant growth and development by altering metabolic activity and
biological functions. However, plants have evolved several cellular and molecular …

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an important relatively stable non-radical reactive oxygen
species (ROS) is produced by normal aerobic metabolism in plants. At low concentrations …

Oxidative stress occurs when crop plants are exposed to extreme abiotic conditions that lead
to the excessive production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Those …
