Global warming and associated precipitation changes will negatively impact on many
agricultural ecosystems. Major food production areas are expected to experience reduced …

Elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration (e [CO 2]) and soil water deficits have substantial
effect on stomatal morphology and movement that regulate plant water relations and plant …

Stomatal closure is the first reaction to drought stress in most plants. Stomatal closure
prevents water loss from transpirational pathways. Stomatal closure is more closely related …

Osmotic stress that is induced by salinity and drought affects plant growth and development,
resulting in significant losses to global crop production. Consequently, there is a strong need …

Silicon (Si) plays an important role in the sustainable agriculture industry. The increasing
demand for crop production with a significant reduction of synthetic chemical fertilizers and …

Drought is one of the foremost environmental factors that limit the growth of plants. Leaf
thickness (LT) is an important quantitative trait in plant physiology. The experiment was …

Drought is a severe environmental stress that limits plant growth and productivity. Plant
hormones play a key role in response to biological and abiotic stresses. And phytohormones …

Around the world, large areas of agricultural soils are contaminated by cadmium (Cd), and
for safe food production, there is a need for cost-effective and practical methods to manage …

The frequency and intensity of droughts have increased in recent decades, and climate
change is a major driver of global droughts. Among abiotic stress factors, drought is one of …

Reduced irrigation in combination with biochar application can improve stomatal anatomy,
water relations and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUE i), thus having a positive effect on the …
