Global warming has led to increased temperature of the earth which is a major abiotic stress
posing a serious threat to the plants. Photosynthesis is amongst the plant cell functions that …

Increases in ambient temperatures have been a severe threat to crop production in many
countries around the world under climate change. Chloroplasts serve as metabolic centers …

Plants cannot avoid being attacked by an almost infinite number of microorganisms and
insects. Consequently, they arm themselves with molecular weapons against their attackers …

Even though light is the source of energy for photosynthesis, it can also be harmful to plants.
Light-induced damage is targetted mainly to Photosystem II and leads to inactivation of …

The reproductive (gametophytic) phase in flowering plants is often highly sensitive to hot or
cold temperature stresses, with even a single hot day or cold night sometimes being fatal to …

Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated
with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress-a severe …

Many plants invest carbon to form isoprene. The role of isoprene in plants is unclear, but
many experiments showed that isoprene may have a role in protecting plants from thermal …

At the whole plant level, the effect of stress is usually perceived as a decrease in
photosynthesis and growth. That is why this review is focused mainly on the effect of drought …

The primary targets of thermal damage in plants are the oxygen evolving complex along with
the associated cofactors in photosystem II (PSII), carbon fixation by Rubisco and the ATP …

Nanoparticles offer clear advantages for both passive and active penetration into
biologically important membranes. However, the uptake and localization mechanism of …
