Plants are often exposed to unfavorable environmental conditions, for instance abiotic
stresses, which dramatically alter distribution of plant species among ecological niches and …

Climate change has exacerbated the effects of abiotic stresses on plant growth and
productivity. Drought is one of the most important abiotic stress factors that interfere with …

Plants are vulnerable to a number of abiotic and biotic stresses that cause a substantial
decrease in the production of plants. Plants respond to different environmental stresses by …

Drought stress negatively affects crop performance and weakens global food security. It
triggers the activation of downstream pathways, mainly through phytohormones …

Phytohormones (PHs) play crucial role in regulation of various physiological and
biochemical processes that govern plant growth and yield under optimal and stress …

Drought is an important abiotic stress factor limiting crop productivity worldwide and its
impact is increasing with climate change. Regardless of the plant growth period, drought has …

Anthropogenic activities in the past and present eras have created global warming and
consequently a storm of drought stress, affecting both plants and animals. Being sessile …

Potato is the third most consumed crop globally after rice and wheat. It is a short-duration
crop, versatile in use, suitable for growing in a wide range of environments, and its …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of polyhydroxylated plant steroid hormones that are
crucial for many aspects of a plant's life. BRs were originally characterized for their function …

Drought (water deficits) and heat (high temperatures) stress are the prime abiotic
constraints, under the current and climate change scenario in future. Any further increase in …
