Drought is one of the main abiotic stresses that cause crop yield loss. Improving crop yield
under drought stress is a major goal of crop breeding, as it is critical to food security. The …

Drought is a main abiotic stress that restricts plant growth and development. The increased
global demand of anti-cancer alkaloids extracted from periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) is …

This review presents the main findings from measurements carried out on cereals using
chitosan, its derivatives, and nanoparticles. Research into the use of chitosan in agriculture …

Previous studies have demonstrated the impact of potassium humate (KH) and chitosan
(CH) on ameliorating drought effects, but their combined applications in promoting these …

Biotic, abiotic stresses and their unpredictable combinations severely reduce plant growth
and crop yield worldwide. The different chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers, phytoregulators) so …

Key message Irradiated chitosan boosts a myriad of physiological processes, including
photosynthetic efficiencies, gas-exchange, N-metabolism, osmoprotection, antioxidant …

Plants experience constant exposed to diverse abiotic stresses throughout their growth and
development stages. Given the burgeoning world population, abiotic stresses pose …

Water deficit can limit maize yield; therefore, appropriate choices of irrigation schemes or
water-saving irrigation strategies to maximize WUE are needed for sustainable agriculture in …

Drought stress is one of the key factors restricting crop yield. The beneficial effects of
exogenous proline on crop growth under drought stress have been demonstrated in maize …

Abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, extreme temperature, radiation, nutrient deficiency,
and heavy metals can significantly impact plant growth and yield, posing a challenge to …
