Trees are constantly exposed to climate fluctuations, which vary with both time and
geographic location. Environmental changes that are outside of the physiological favorable …

Drought, one of the most severe and complex abiotic stresses, is increasingly occurring due
to global climate change and adversely affects plant growth and yield. Grafting is a proven …

Background Drought stress has significantly hampered agricultural productivity worldwide
and can also result in modifications to DNA methylation levels. However, the dynamics of …

Barley is characterized by a rich genetic diversity, making it an important model for studies of
salinity response with great potential for crop improvement. Moreover, salt stress severely …

Water availability is undoubtedly one of the most important environmental factors affecting
crop production. Drought causes a gradual deprivation of water in the soil from top to deep …

Roots perform vital roles for adaptation and productivity under water‐deficit stress, even
though their specific functions are poorly understood. In this study, the genetic control of the …

Drought stress is one of the major abiotic stress factors that affect plant growth and crop
productivity. Tartary buckwheat is a nutritionally balanced and flavonoid-rich pseudocereal …

Sesame production is severely affected by unexpected drought stress during flowering
stage. However, little is known about dynamic drought-responsive mechanisms during …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are the processing products of primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) that
regulate the expression of target genes. Recent studies have demonstrated that some pri …

Haloxylon ammodendron and Haloxylon persicum, as typical desert plants, show strong
drought tolerance and environmental adaptability. They are ideal model plants for studying …
