Drought stress, caused by lack of precipitation or irrigation, is one of the most challenging
problems in crop production in the US and worldwide. Drought alone affects 45% of the …

A comprehensive investigation was carried out to determine the changes that occurred in
water‐stressed cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in response to melatonin treatment. We …

The metabolic reasons associated with differential sensitivity of C3 and C4 plant species to
water stress are not well understood. In the present study, 15-day-old wheat (Triticum …

The membrane lipid peroxidation, antioxidant metabolites, as well as ultrastructure of
chloroplasts of leaves were investigated in two cool-season turfgrass species, perennial …

Moisture deficits can depress cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lint yield in all cotton
production regions. However, most cotton physiological drought stress research has been …

Abiotic Stresses explores innovative methods for breeding new varieties of major crops with
resistance to environmental stresses that limit crop production worldwide, such as drought …

Water deficit is the major abiotic factor limiting plant growth and crop productivity around the
world (Kramer, 1983). Approximately one third of the cultivated area of the world suffers from …

The effects of water deficit induced by different osmotic potential levels [0 (control),-0.4,-0.6
and-0.8 MPa] of PEG 6000 and NaCl treatments on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars …

The present investigation has been performed to evaluate date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)
tolerance to osmotic stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) or NaCl during the early …

Salinity is one of the abiotic stresses that affect crop growth and productivity in arid and semi-
arid regions. Unfortunately, there are few known methods to mitigate the deleterious impacts …
