Climate change is a major threat to most of the agricultural crops grown in tropical and sub-
tropical areas globally. Drought stress is one of the consequences of climate change that …

Water deficiency compromises plant performance and yield in many habitats and in
agriculture. In addition to survival of the acute drought stress period which depends on plant …

Plants are exposed to diverse abiotic stresses like drought, heat, salinity, and high-metal
concentrations at different stages of their life cycle. As protection against stress, plants …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis alleviates drought stress in plants. However, the
intimate mechanisms involved, as well as its effect on the production of signalling molecules …

In a persistently changing environment, plants are constantly challenged by various abiotic
stresses such as salinity, drought, temperature extremes, heavy metal toxicity, high-light …

Abstract Background Lead (Pb) heavy metal pollution in water bodies is one of the serious
problems across the world. This study was designed to find out the effect of Pb toxicity on …

Water, the most important component of life, is rapidly becoming a critically short commodity
for humans and crop production. Limited water supply is one of the major abiotic factors that …

Adaptation to environmental changes is crucial for plant growth and survival. However, the
molecular and biochemical mechanisms of adaptation are still poorly understood and the …

As sessile organisms, plants have evolved mechanisms that allow them to adapt and survive
periods of drought stress. One of the inevitable consequences of drought stress is enhanced …

Salinity is an issue impairing crop production across the globe. Under salinity stress,
besides the osmotic stress and Na+ toxicity, ROS (reactive oxygen species) …
