Drought stress negatively affects crop performance and weakens global food security. It
triggers the activation of downstream pathways, mainly through phytohormones …

Being continuously exposed to variable environmental conditions, plants produce
phytohormones to react quickly and specifically to these changes. The phytohormone …

In the natural environment, plants are often bombarded by a combination of abiotic (such as
drought, salt, heat or cold) and biotic (necrotrophic and biotrophic pathogens) stresses …

Melatonin is a natural, multifunctional, nontoxic, regulatory, and ubiquitous biomolecule,
having low molecular weight and pleiotropic effects in the plant kingdom. It is a recently …

Jasmonates (JAs) and ethylene (ET), often acting cooperatively, play essential roles in
regulating plant defense against pests and pathogens. Recent research reviewed here has …

Ethylene is essential for many developmental processes and a key mediator of biotic and
abiotic stress responses in plants. The ethylene signaling and response pathway includes …

Background: Rice is the main staple food for the global population and drought is one of the
limited factor in rice production. In this research, progeny of a cross between an adapted US …

Water deficit (drought stress) massively restricts plant growth and the yield of crops; reducing
the deleterious effects of drought is therefore of high agricultural relevance. Drought triggers …

Tomato is an essential annual crop providing human food worldwide. It is estimated that by
the year 2050 more than 50% of the arable land will become saline and, in this respect, in …

Being sessile in nature, plants have to withstand various adverse environmental stress
conditions including both biotic and abiotic stresses. Comparatively, abiotic stresses such as …
