Salt stress limits the productivity of crops grown under saline conditions, leading to
substantial losses of yield in saline soils and under brackish and saline irrigation. Salt …

Farmers and breeders aim to improve crop responses to abiotic stresses and secure yield
under adverse environmental conditions. To achieve this goal and select the most resilient …

Heat waves and drought periods are expected to become more frequent due to climate
change. This may cause a critical decline in future crop yields. However, insufficient …

Terrestrial ecosystems are expected to experience more intense and longer drought and
heat-waves in the future. How these environmental factors and their interaction influence …

Water stress may greatly limit plant functionality and growth. Stomatal closure and
consequently reduced transpiration are considered as early and sensitive plant responses …

Drought stress is an important environmental factor that restricts the quality and high yield of
the soybean. Rapid and nondestructive monitoring of canopy traits under drought stress is …

Drought resistance represents a complex of traits that are differently employed depending
on drought type, severity and timing. Hence, a relatively comprehensive assessment of …

The use of photosystem II (PSII) inhibitors allows simulating cascade of defense and
damage responses, including the oxidative stress. In our study, PSII inhibiting herbicide …

Global climate change increases the likelihood of co-occurrence of hot and dry spells with
increased intensity, frequency, and duration. Studying the impact of the two stresses provide …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant steroid hormones involved in regulating growth,
development, and stress responses. Many components of the BR pathway have previously …
