The primary objectives of modern agriculture includes the environmental sustainability, low
production costs, improved plants' resilience to various biotic and abiotic stresses, and high …

Hydraulic failure is one of the main causes of tree mortality in conditions of severe drought.
Resistance to cavitation is known to be strongly related to drought tolerance and species …

Drought stress deleteriously affects growth, development and productivity in plants. So, we
examined the silicon effect (2 mmol) and proline (10 mmol) individually or the combination …

The development of new approaches for sustaining soil quality, leaf health, and maize
productivity are imperative in light of water deficit and soil salinity. Plant growth-promoting …

This publication opens with the inevitable introduction, moves on to the present traditional
approach to breeding for yield stability, and then enumerates a detailed discussion of the …

Water Relations of Plants and Soils, successor to the seminal 1983 book by Paul Kramer,
covers the entire field of water relations using current concepts and consistent terminology …

Current disturbance models do not adequately account for the wide range of responses by
grassland plant communities to grazing by large generalist herbivores. The evolutionary …

This review focuses on the effects of water deficits on photosynthesis and partitioning of
assimilates at the leaf level. It is now established that the rate of CO2 assimilation in the …

The predominant emphasis on harmful effects of environmental stresses on growth of woody
plants has obscured some very beneficial effects of such stresses. Slowly increasing …

Soil Ecology is designed to meet the increasing challenge faced by today's environmental
scientists, ecologists, agriculturalists, and biotechnologists for an integrated approach to soil …
