With the global climate anomalies and the destruction of ecological balance, the water
shortage has become a serious ecological problem facing all mankind, and drought has …

In the growth condition (s) of plants, numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) are produced
by them to serve variety of cellular functions essential for physiological processes, and …

Climate change has devastating effects on plant growth and yield. During ontogenesis,
plants are subjected to a variety of abiotic stresses, including drought and salinity, affecting …

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 …

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 …

The potential effects of the forthcoming climate change include the rising of the average
annual temperature and the accumulation of extreme weather events, like frequent and …

Cold stress has always been a significant limitation for plant development and causes
substantial decreases in crop yield. Some temperate plants, such as Arabidopsis, have the …

Background Soil salinity and drought are an enormous worldwide problem for agriculture,
horticulture and silviculture. The initial responses of plants to drought and salinity are similar; …

The application of nanostructured materials, designed for sustainable crop production,
reduces nutrient losses, suppresses disease and enhances the yields. Nanomaterials …

Higher plants undergo a variety of stresses and to combat those stresses they acclimatize
themselves by producing diverse secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites also …
