Plant stress is one of the most significant factors affecting plant fitness and, consequently,
food production. However, plant stress may also be profitable since it behaves hormetically; …

Current approaches for accurate identification, classification, and quantification of biotic and
abiotic stresses in crop research and production are predominantly visual and require …

This paper presents a simple method for detecting both biotic and abiotic stress in plants.
Stress levels are measured based on the increase in nutrient uptake by plants as a …

Crop plants have developed a multitude of defense and adaptation responses to protect
themselves against invading pathogens and challenging environmental stresses, mostly …

Plant scientists and farmers are facing major challenges in providing food and nutritional
security for a growing population, while preserving natural resources and biodiversity …

Advances in automated and high-throughput imaging technologies have resulted in a
deluge of high-resolution images and sensor data of plants. However, extracting patterns …

Plants are essential facilitators of human life on planet earth. Plants play a critical functional
role in mediating the quality of air, availability of food and the sustainability of agricultural …

Plants intricately deploy defense systems to counter diverse biotic and abiotic stresses.
