Plant responses to drought and heat stress have been extensively studied, whereas post-
stress recovery, which is fundamental to understanding stress resilience, has received much …

Increasing consciousness regarding the nutritional value of olive oil has enhanced the
demand for this product and, consequently, the expansion of olive tree cultivation. Although …

Efficient water transport from soil to leaves sustains stomatal opening and steady‐state
photosynthesis. The aboveground portion of this pathway is well‐described, yet the roots …

Water is now considered the most important but vulnerable resource in the Mediterranean
region. Nevertheless, irrigation expanded fast in the region (eg South Portugal and Spain) to …

Drought has become an important factor limiting crop yields in China. As an important
greenhouse horticultural crop in China, the research of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv …

Plants require the capacity for quick and precise recognition of external stimuli within their
environment for survival. Upon exposure to biotic (herbivores and pathogens) or abiotic …

Urban trees regulate their thermal environment mostly through the canopies. With
multilayered complex canopies trees prevent solar radiation (reaching the ground) thus …

A surge of papers have reported low leaf vulnerability to xylem embolism during drought.
Here, we focus on the less studied, and more sensitive, outside‐xylem leaf hydraulic …

Reduced stomatal conductance (gs) during soil drought in angiosperms may result from
effects of leaf turgor on stomata and/or factors that do not directly depend on leaf turgor …

Drought represents a major abiotic constraint to plant growth and survival. On the one hand,
plants keep stomata open for efficient carbon assimilation while, on the other hand, they …
