constraints on agricultural and forestry productivity; their frequency and degree have …

Solanum pennellii is a wild tomato species endemic to Andean regions in South America,
where it has evolved to thrive in arid habitats. Because of its extreme stress tolerance and …

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 …

Plants are vulnerable to many environmental constraints which include drought, salinity,
extreme temperatures, heavy metals, etc., thereby posing damage to the development and …

This work characterized the role of the R2R3-MYB10 transcription factor (TF) in strawberry
fruit ripening. The expression of this TF takes place mainly in the fruit receptacle and is …

Extreme climatic events, including drought, are predicted to increase in intensity, frequency,
