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 …

Plants grow in dynamic environments where they can be exposed to a multitude of stressful
factors, all of which affect their development, yield, and, ultimately, reproductive success …

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 …

The key role of cell walls in setting mesophyll conductance to CO2 (gm) and, consequently,
photosynthesis is reviewed. First, the theoretical properties of cell walls that can affect gm …

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 …

The intensity and frequency of droughts events are projected to increase in future with
expected adverse effects for forests. Thus, information on the dynamics of tree water uptake …

There will be longer and more intense periods of heat and drought stress in the future for
terrestrial ecosystems. Although the responses of wheat plants to heat and drought stress …

Water limitation is a major global constraint for plant productivity that is likely to be
exacerbated by climate change. Hence, improving plant water use efficiency (WUE) has …

For land plants, water is the principal governor of growth. Photosynthetic performance is
highly dependent on the stable and suitable water status of leaves, which is balanced by the …

The global shortage of fresh water is one of our most severe agricultural problems, leading
to dry and saline lands that reduce plant growth and crop yield. Here we review recent work …
