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 …

Major abiotic stress factors such as salt and drought adversely affect important physiological
processes and biochemical mechanisms and cause severe loss in crop productivity …

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 …

Soil salinity and drought are major abiotic factors that limit crop growth and productivity
worldwide. Indeed, soil salinity and drought disrupt the cellular ionic and osmotic balance …

Field crops are subjected to drought at different growth stages and cause for substantial
yield loss in major crops, thus threaten to global food security. The crop researcher have …

The present experiment was carried out to study the influences of exogenously-applied nitric
oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as seed …

Plants take up silicon (Si) from the soil which impacts their growth and nutrient accumulation.
It increases plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and …

The free radical nitric oxide (NO) and the phenolic phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) are
signal molecules which exert key functions at biochemical and physiological levels. Abiotic …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential signal molecule to maintain cellular homeostasis in uni and
pluricellular organisms. Conceptually, NO intervenes as much in sustaining basal metabolic …

Background Abscisic acid (ABA) acts as a signaling hormone in plants against abiotic stress,
but its function in energy homeostasis under heat stress is unclear. Results Two rice …
