Evergreen conifers are champions of winter survival, based on their remarkable ability to
acclimate to cold and develop cold hardiness. Counterintuitively, autumn cold acclimation is …

Sorghum is one of the staple crops for millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and
South Asia (SA). The future climate in these sorghum production regions is likely to have …

Drought stress is a major obstacle to crop productivity, and the severity and frequency of
drought are expected to increase in the coming century. Certain root-associated bacteria …

Drought stress-induced crop loss has been considerably increased in recent years because
of global warming and changing rainfall pattern. Natural drought-tolerant plants entail the …

In response to various environmental stresses, plants have evolved a wide range of defense
mechanisms, resulting in the overexpression of a series of stress-responsive genes. Among …

Abiotic stress affects the growth and development of crops tremendously, worldwide. To
avoid adverse environmental effects, plants have evolved various efficient mechanisms to …

Rhizosphere microbiota play a pivotal role in promoting plant growth and defending against
pathogens, but their responses to abiotic environmental stress remain largely elusive. Here …

Dehydrins (DHNs) play an important role in abiotic stress tolerance in a large number of
plants, but very little is known about the function of DHNs in pepper plants. Here, we isolated …

Dehydrins are a multifunctional and diverse class of proteins that are crucial in combating
abiotic stresses imposed on the plant kingdom. Plants use dehydrin to stabilize …

Abiotic stress has a significant impact on plant growth and development. It causes changes
in the subcellular organelles, which, due to their stress sensitivity, can be affected. Cellular …
